One quick solution I found for the Earphones bug in which one earpiece stops working after taking a screenshot or photo... Disable Screenshot Sound in Settings -> Sound (and I guess similarly disabling shutter sound in Camera app will work)... The screenshot one worked for Me...
In case one earpiece stops working, just force close the music and play the song again and it works fine...
Best option is to delete the Ui folder in system/media/ it will remove the sound

Hi everybody
After complete the ota update, I observed that when take a pic there is abnormal sound not like on the 1.83v.
Is there any idea about this issue?
Thank you
Not sure about the abnormal sound you hear.
All I got was the normal shutter sound. If you don't like it, you can go to the camera, then hit menu, and go to settings and uncheck Shutter tone.
Thank you Zero
Now even check or uncheck there is no sound
I don't no why???
It happens after GB update
I can't remember if it relys on your sound too? Did you try with your volume up or down to see if that made a difference?
Maybe try with ringer, media and alarm volume?
Just throwing ideas out there for ya
I am experiencing the same problem. After the GB upgrade the shutter sound changed. Is there a way to CHANGE the sound rather then disabling it? I am rooted.
**Bump**
Same here. I had sounds at one time, turned them off, and now can't get them back. Of course I've re-enabled the sounds, rebooted, battery removed etc. Shutter sound is gone :-(
Under settings>sound>volume,
there are 4 types.
i only know 3 of them.
"incoming call" is the ringtone volume when the phone receive a call
"Media" is volume of apps, games, music player etc
"notification" is the notification sound like sms, reminder, calender etc
but what is "system" sound?
i notice that the system sound is related to the camera sound,
if i turn system sound all the way down to minimum, the camera focus and shutter sound gets turn off. (i love it that way)
as much as i like to camera shutter sound to be off, i am worried that i might mute some other "important" system sounds, so may i know what are the apps that are related by the system sound?
also, there seem to be many tutorial on how to mute camera sound, why is that needed if this simple way of turning system volume off can do the trick? perhaps is because it cause more harm than good? (such as muting other "important" apps sound)
Hmm....no reply from anyone.
no one knows the answer? or this is too stupid question?
anyway, i left the system volume off for few days now, it seems normal,
viber notification sound still on, only difference so far is the screenshot sound is muted as well.
for fyi for any one who is interested
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 rooted.
How can you remove (permanently and with active mode sounds)
the sound of a screenshot?
I know that the sound can be removed silencing the phone,
but I want the screenshot sound does not feel even when the sounds are active.
I tried "local_prop" and "camera_apk modded" methods
but the screenshot sound is always present.
Help me please.
In the sound settings, turn the system volume all the way down & leave it there. I leave my system volume muted and never hear the screenshot sound or camera shutter when taking pictures.

I know this method. But I want turn off screenshot sound with all sounds on.
Is possible rename the sound file of the screenshot? Where is it and which is the name? (...so I can rename it with root explorer)
I tried renaming following sound files from /system/media/audio/ui
camera_click.ogg
camera_focus.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
I could disable shutter/video-record sound.
But focus sound just before the shutter is not disabled.
If you can could you tell me how to disable it?
Regards,

For me the shutter sound toggle doubles as a focus sound toggle so when I disable shutter sound, the focus is also silenced. But in some countries mobile devices are not allowed to take pictures in complete silence because of privacy regulations, so the shutter sound at least remains. Does it still make the shutter sound if you put the tablet in silent mode?

Thank you for your reply.
Even if the silent mode, focus sound sounds.
I consider that the sound files is embedded in the camera apk like following device.

But this thread is for Samsung Galaxy Note 3,
I don't understand how to tweak for this tablet.
If the renaming method is not possible, you can use a workaround via the app "Tasker" (an invaluable tool anyway).
In Tasker you can make a profile that says "If the camera app is open, set device audio to 'Silent' (or 'Vibrate only')".

But he said that silent mode doesn't affect the fucos sound.
Can't be. When I put my tablet into silent mode via volume rocker (in the status bar the "vibration only" symbol appears), the camera remains absolutely silent.

Is your stock camera app also completely silent (no focus beep either) when the tablet volume is on, but shutter sound turned off in camera settings?
Yes, when I set shutter sound to "off" (seems to reset automatically to "on" when leaving camera app...) the camera is absolutely silent.

Well that option doesn't mute the focus sound for the OP, so that means he lives in one of those countries where mobile devices not allowed to photos silently (or he doesn't live in one of those countries but his tablet was made for use in them), so then indeed, putting the device in silent mode does not mute the camera.
I have the same problem, just traveling in Japan in a Japanese SIM card and i still have the focus sound after renamed the shutter ogg, anyone can fix this?
Hi, any idea how to improve the sound quality on recorded videos.?
Did a test in a silent room and playback has a lot of crackling and background noise.
thanks in advance.
I have the same problem with video and also on sound recorder.
A search finds a few people have the same problem but no answer.
I have reported it to the Elephone Bugs & Problems Feedback and hope to hear from them as I like the phone but find the video unusable.
Fix
I found a way to fix this issue:
1. Type in the following on the dialer:
*#*#3646633#*#*
Now you are in Engineer Mode
2. Navigate to
Hardware Testing -> Audio -> Volume -> Audio Record
3. Under
Camera recording/ Receiver
change default value to 140-180
(you may need to try a couple of values to find the best for you, I chose 180)
This should remove backgroud cracklings and make sounds clear

Doesn’t work for me. I can’t find the sweet spot. All it does is make the background noise and crackling lauder or quieter.

Thank you, this works beautifully, there is still some background noise when listening on the phones speaker but is clear with headphones or on a PC.
I have also changed the Audio setting as I had the same problem with Sound Recorder.
Thank you again.

I just followed aovks instructions and changed the Camera recording/ Receiver setting to 180 (the original setting was 92).
As I had the same problem with Sound Recorder I changed the Camera recording drop down to Sound recording and set this to 180 (the original setting was 132).
There is still some background crackling noise with the phone speaker but the videos played back on headphones or another phone seem fine.
I think that there is still a problem with the phone speaker when playing videos but as the actual recordings are good I'm happy.
It may be worth trying a higher setting than 180 to see if it makes any improvement.

I'm happy I could help.
I came across this solution by looking at the value of Sound Recording, which is 132. Since sound recording had better quality than video recordings I first changed it to 132 and then tried some other values.
Maximum value is 252. I have tried multiple values between original 92 and maximum 252.
For me it seemed that for values above ~200 the sound starts to overdrive.
As said, by my personal impression 180 seems the best value, but maybe other values have better outcomes (I'm no sound expert )
Also, as you said, it is important to test your changes on other than inbuilt speakers as they are always off-tone even with the best quality sound source. Better listen to recordings with headphones or with some good externeal speakers.

Ok thanks, yes I suppose there is a some improvement for me too. It’s not dead silent , as you say there is some remaining background noise but it has improved. When listening on another device it does seem to be clearer. Thanks for your help.
