Of course, lowering the volume before going into the camera also disables the shutter sound.
For me what worked is to put Jrummys root browser into system using titanium backup. Then use the built in editor to modify system/csc/feature.xml. change camera sound from false to true. Done.

Ahh, didn't think of that one. Then again most here I assume have root. Nonetheless, always good to have options.

Ok, I'll make it even simpler. While IN the camera app press and hold the power button. Then press "mute". That's easier than digging into a settings within the phone app itself or using a separate app. There are times when I like the shutter sound, I never want it permanently off. This solution works well fo rme.

Title says it, I don't have that option to turn it off. Is it just me?
I think the update removed it..
I've also had more freezeups after the update, along with unresponsive touch screen until you lock and unlock. Anyone else have an increase in these issues?

i haven't loaded the update yet. on mine, withouth the latest 2.08 update, i have an option in the camera settings under geotag, etc, which says shutter sound with a check box. this is disappears after the latest OTA to 2.08?
are you able to adjust the volume down with the external volume rocker and see if that prevents the shutter? although its a lame work around, ihope it helps as its better than nothing ..
i personally dislike the shutter sound and its kinda lame/fake and not really needed so i'm glad they have provide the option to shut this off in the past...thanks for the heads up on this!
correct no more option to turn off sounds
with all sounds disabled/muted it still makes noise
the volume rocker is zoom in the camera app (for those that didn't know)
There has been a bill in Congress introduced in 2009 to require cell phone cameras to "click". Its called the Cell Phone Camera Preditory Alert Act. So far, it hasn't had much traction. Maybe HTC knows something we don't?
crappy fix, grab the old camera, put it in place of the new one, change permissions and reboot
Set up with no sound, then copy the new cam app back, fix permissions, reboot and voila.
POOR method. Restore from titanium might also work, haven't tested that.
make a profile with "Tasker".
when camera app is active, all sounds are disabled.
thats what i do with my legend, using CM7...
but on my evo i can disable the shutter sound!?
Also, looks like it removed mirror app that was tied with the camera app.
do u removed mirror app?
i have it already installed, and turned shutter sound off.

Shutter Sound App Fix!!
Hey all...I've spent the last 2 days looking for anything to get rid of the shutter sound, or at the least, enable us to turn it off WITHOUT having to root my phone and void the warranty. The ONLY fix that I found, was to download this Silent Snap app at this link: m.androidzoom.com/.../silentsnap-camera_gfij.html After I downloaded it, it took care of that annoying shutter sound, and even better, the app is FREE to download!!! I hope this helps!
Silent Snap
Just letting you all know, that you don't have to use the app every time to make the Shutter Silent...
Just open the app once to turn the Shutter off...but please notice it also puts your phone on silent as well...But once you've opened the app, and exited out of it, you can now use your Volume Down Button to put your phone on Silent, and it will also turn the Camera Shutter off!
I recommend not staying within the Silent Snap App, because after taking about 3 or 4 pictures, it brings up ads, so just be sure to use your regular camera when taking pics to resolve this issue.

Anyone else?, this little puppy had been out a few weeks now!
Wasn't this made not changeable *atleast within the default app* because of something that happened in Europe. About no spy camera shots or something.. They wanted the noise so you couldn't take hidden pictures. Or something along those lines..
So if thats for Europe chances are they will include the option to disable it in the US varient right?
Screenshot works for me just like the s2 did. Home + power. They need yo be pressed at exactly the same time and held for a second or two.

I've tried /dozens/ of times - it simply doesn't work for me.
To disable the shutter noise you need to delete the audio files, which requires root access.
Is there a way without deleting the files? Just replacing the apk so I can have an option of sound out not sound?
you can use pretty much any of the other hundreds of camera apps in the market. most of them will correspond to the volume setting of your ringtone so if you set the system sound to silent they will have no shutter sound.
my least favourite thing in the whole world is shuttersound, except in burst modes.

thats beacuse in s3 you have to hold both buttons one or two seconds.
you can do it too by dragging the side of your hand through the screen from left to right
The sad part is that because of a few people that deteriate the gene pool, we have to put up with that damnable shutter sound.
Thing is, if we replace the camera with another one on the market, which one would be better - the built in one or the market one? Does the built in camera app make those great shots or the hardware?
Open Root Explorer - Navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
Mount R/W
Rename shutter.ogg to shutter.ogg.bak or just delete it.
To undo, just rename it back

To mute camera just mute the phone with your volume buttons.
Screen shot still works with Power and home button just push and hold them for a couple of seconds.

This solution is quite widespread online but many people say it doesn't work for them.
I can confirm it's working for me - 16GB, pebble blue, Vodafone, UK - but it seems different markets can't stop the shutter sound this way.
Is there really no way to disable it without root

So there is no option withing the camera to always have the shutter sound off like in the Galaxy S?
The shutter sound is still on when the sound is turned off, looks like some morons @samsung simply forgot to integrate it. I am really annoyed by this "feature"
Can someone hack this please?
(or simply add a button or so)
Just go to /system/media/audio/ui/
And move shutter.ogg someplace else. Or rename it. I just deleted it
I think they didn't include the setting because it is illegal for a digital camera to take silent photos in some countries.

Ok never mind i just figured it out myself. I had to do a mount r/w to gain access to file shutter.ogg in root explorer.

How do you delete the file on a non rooted phone without that app?
For rooted users
How to enable on/off button for Shutter sound:
Edit /system/csc/feature.xml with text editor of choice.
Add following lines:
<!-- Enable/disable the camera shutter sound -->
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Reboot, Voila, now you can enable/disable shutter sound from camera menu. (I'm on BLG8)

I was watching TDKR in Imax the first day it got out then a sexy girl with her snacks comes right in front of my row and I had to take her pic discreetly but suddenly sergeant stupidity arrived and there goes my ever so glorious bright flash and soundful cam sound. She had eye contact with me and smiled and I was like blushing and laughing, something like that will be ingrained into my memory forever. Sorry I just had to share that hahaha....

Exactly. Well a camera shortcut on lockscreen helps a lot but what I'm asking is a lot faster and guarantees you ll catch that critical moment Hope someone helps on that.

Even if it could be set up to just take a photo on say holding down volume, without opening up the camera app.
You wouldn't have time to frame the shots anyway.
There are a few apps which take photos by just tapping an icon, without opening up anything or a viewfinder.
Maybe mapping this to a hardware button? Would make taking a photo faster, saving on the second or 2 it takes to open the app.
Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the native (4.4.2) camera time-out setting?
I'd like it so my camera app doesn't turn off until I manually close the app, or after ~10 minutes.
You can use the xposed module App Settings to force the screen to stay on when the Camera app is open, that should do the trick

Ya, I figured it was built-in ?. I was hoping someone out there might have figured out a way around that by now (the camera app has had that same auto close function since at least Jellybean).
I know there are probably ways to open the app (again) by voice, but then, of course, it reverts to default settings, which doesn't help me much if I changed a configuration ...
Bummer. ?

Its been on my "list" but not at the top. I don't encounter this to be an issue for myself, so it hasn't been priority plus I completely forget about it when I have free time. If I get around to it, I'll probably create an xposed module to disable it.
