Hello,
I saw a similar thread on this but no answer. I have disabled the main camera app shutter sound but third party apps still make the sound. It's pretty annoying. This is my first time using MIUI, so I guess it's a Xiaomi thing. I am rooted, so even if someone can point me to the right files to delete for Instagram and Snapchat, that would be really helpful.
Thanks!

Can't you make your phone silent or DND when you're using these apps.
You could program Tasker to make your mobile go silent temporarily while using these apps.

That's the thing, even when I silence my phone or turn on DND, these third party apps still make that camera shutter sound. I am guessing I have to manually remove the media files for these apps.

Maybe this issue is exactly like how someone was unable to mute notification sounds from WhatsApp in silent\dnd. Search for that thread.

Hi I installed Cerberus (remote locating software) for my S3. I have CF root, running on stock firmware LG8.
I used a zip to flash Cerberus (from the website) using CWM so I could get extra features which I did about 6 days ago. I tried to use Cerberusapp.com to test if everything is working today and it wasn't responding as it should. The feature I used was take an immediate pic using front camera.
I exited from the webapp and then tried to use the camera and it would open but then I was met with an error message saying Camera: failed or something similar to that and then the camera app would close.
I restarted the phone and camera was working fine. But now the keypad tones when you press back button, menu button, or when you swipe to unlock screen have disappeared.
Loudspeaker works when I play music and other things. Earpiece works when I make calls.
But the splish/splash sounds won't work at all. Also, when I boot the phone up, the sound the accompanies the Samsung animation boot logo doesn't play either.
How do I rectify this? I don't want to reflash with stick f/w through Odin if it can be avoided and if there is of course a simple fix.
Thanks
at a guess the app disables sounds so as not to alert the thief that you are taking photo of them. I would imagine the app developer is your best bet for a solution, but check and see if in system/media the app might of places a .nomedia file or some such disabling file

I think I'll have to e-mail the support team because it doesn't seem like it's intentional.
The keypad tones and sounds have gone but the shutter sound when taking a photo is still there. Also, why would it affect the sound on the boot animation?
Using rootexplorer I've looked through the system/media and other folders but there's no sign of anything that shouldn't be there.
It was all working as expected before this little error occurred. When taking pics using Cerberus the camera wouldn't make a sound but the key press sounds would still make a sound.
Anyway, thanks for your help, I'll give the developer a shout and if nothing can be resolved I might just reflash and do it all over again.
Hello.
I'm using a German version of the Galaxy S3 with stock 4.1.1 ROM.
I own it since few days, coming from iPhones and I'm still learning how to use it.
One very useful thing I've found is the blocking mode. I use it at night to stop notifications sound and to permit only my family calls to go through.
Whatsapp notifications, though, are still coming through and I'm forced to manually reduce the notifications volume to zero.
Is it a bug or am I missing something?
I've tried setting the blocking mode with both time range and "always", but no differences at all.
Thanks.
I was woken up this morning by whatsapp messages, so if anyone has an answer it'd be appreciated.
I am having the same problem.. i think the problem is with whatsapp itself it must be a bug as when u go to notification settings the "ringer" whats comes up as default tone not the notification tone.
hope this get resolved quick! i have emailed whatsapp but got standard email template... delete app ... reboot re install ..etc
No one has a solution?
I have the same problem but a month or two before it did worked. I guess that maybe an update of whatsapp has disabled this. It very annoying waking up because of that horrible whatsapp noise.
Update
Just installed JB 4.1.2 and the problem is still there.
So it seems to be a Whatsapp problem, and it's a very stupid management of the notifications.
The notifications should be managed by the system and if the system says "shut up" ALL notifications should comply.
For me this is a point in favor of iOS.
P.S.: not a fan boy of course. I own both devices and it's normal I compare them.
WhatsApp uses a different method to sounf notificiations, this is why it can sound notifications even playing music (other apps would mute/pause the music for the notification)
I guess someonr could patch WhatsApp, my smali knowledge isn't that good to do it myself.

I understand, but if Google implements a kind of "do not disturb" mode it should know that some apps can use music as notification sound and block that too...
Problem lies with whatsapp. I did mail them about it, no response :/ m forced to put my phone on silent always :/

[SOLUTION] Blocking Mode WhatsApp Sounds
First of all, I do know that this is a fairly old thread, HOWEVER, it is still the first result on google for "blocking mode whatsapp", so i figure this is where people look. So i hope you will forgive me.
I have found a solution to the very annoying problem which many people seem to suffer from.
I have found a way to include the whatsapp sounds under the android blocking mode.
You will need the LightFlow app, (which i believe is a must have app for the S3 anyways (OP said he uses a s3)).
after you got light flow:
1: In What's app:
- disable notification sounds for incoming messages(not in light flow, in whats app). set it to silent or disable at all
2: The go to light flow and:
- enable sound notifications for whats app
- set what ever notification sound you would like to have for whats app when blocking mode is NOT enabled
- under Sounds-->Volume control method-->tick "Android standard notification volume"
Now it you enable blocking mode, it also blocks what's app sounds and if blocking mode is disabled, everything is normal.
hope that helps....took me quite a while to figure it out.
edit: oh and i do not have any affiliation with the light flow app or their developers!!! i just used it for changing lights and came across the sound feature by chance!!!
its a shame. other blockers block it, why can't the native JB also do it?
furstrating. didn't want to install another software on the phone when the block mode works so well, except for whatsapp of course.
Does this exist with 4.2.2 as well?

Yeah, I've got a Nexus 4 on 4.2.2 and the issue is on that as well. It's a problem with the way whatsapp handles notifications, not the Android firmware version.
Thanks Tyler D for the solution, will be testing this later today.
I am experiencing the very same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S4 running 4.2.2.
Do you have any news? I tried to email whatsapp support a few days ago but I am still waiting their reply.

Just install this app and all camera sounds will be disabled, I've been using it for a while now.

Ok, here's the elephant in the room. People are up in arms about Kingo root because it's an unknown and they're afraid it'll send information back to them. Yet, this "camera silencer" app is just a download without any transparency t all, not through the Play store and we're supposed to just trust that it doesn't gather up a lot of stuff and send it back home? Crazy.

The difference is this app has source codes on the same page, you can read them, compile your own APK and install it.

Yup, it's all right there.
Installed it seems to work. Apk no icon stuff is scary they. Exactly how is it disabling sound? Doesn't appear to be renaming files so? Anyone provide insight?

It definitely disables the camera sound, however after a while it reenables certain options i prefer to keep disabled. Primarily the touch sound (every time you touch the screen it makes a sound).

I've been using it for a while and haven't had anything turned on that was previously off.
Do you keep Touch Sounds enabled?

No I do not and they haven't turned back on.
Is turning the phone on vibrate or silent the only way to silence the sound?
Yes
? I figured it would have a setting in camera for shutter sound on /off? Odd

If you got your phone from south korea, there's no setting to turn it off. It's a law here, every phone that's sold in Korea has to have shutter sound. This is to prevent perverts to take upskirt photos of women

Other countries have similar laws. So it becomes a toss up if you buy international.

Once it's rooted you can use a exposed module to get rid of it
you can easily find mutecamera apps in the playstore

What happens during video, it emits a constant buzzing sound?
For the video, there's that regular video recording start sound, nothing else

I fail to see how privacy would play into this. Anyone that wants to take a picture silently can still do so by disabling their sound. Purposefully not including a separate option to disable shutter sound solely serves to make things more difficult, not protect anybody.
You could just load Open Camera from F-Droid and get not only the ability to turn off the noise, but a lot of other settings as well.

How do you disable sound ? you mean silent mode
Won't work
But that mutecamera (no spaces between the two words there) by SangGwon.Park app does. On my v20 which amazed me. Had given up on the G4 because root was not possible.
Free for only 15 pics though. If you watch some ads you get 15 more free, write a review, another 15. Don't know whether paying gets rid of ads. Can anyone confirm ?
It gets accessibility so whether its a security risk is for you to determine.
I downloaded a (paid app) called "SilentMode". It can actually mute any app, not just the (stock) camera, but it works well. Pixel Camera has the option but if you want the stock one for all it's features, this is a good option.

Out of curiosity which apps beside the camera would you silence ?

Yes, that's the one.
Actually, it's pretty cool, because what it does is mute an app's oral notifications without touching any other apps or the system. I use another app called Kijiji, it's a local classifieds - it defaults to the system notifications so if sounds are on, you get a sound notification. Well, I just want a visual notification for Kijiji...so this app can help.
Reduce the phone volume
You can reduce the volume of mute the phone and it works. So simple I didn't think about it at first. Tested in an European LG V30
Hey everyone
I just got this phone and so far it's been cool and good, I really like it despite the display quality being off in perspective to my galaxy s6
Anyways, I digress, in the camera app I can turn the shutter sound off but it seems that any other third party app like Snapchat or Instagram keep this shutter sound
It's really bugging, I need it gone so I don't disturb people around me or something...
Things I've tried:
Screenshot sound off
Camera sound off from camera settings
Phone to silent
Phone to DND
All volume sliders to 0
Nothing works, any idea before I throw root on it and delete some files?
I didn't find anything that'd work.
Decided to unlock and install LOS 16.
All good now, except IR Camera and hotspot.

I'm pretty sure you can delete the file camera_click.ogg from system/media/audio/ui
Make sure to keep a backup first of the file in case something goes wrong.
Additional files related to camera sounds that may need to be deleted to are: camera_focus.ogg, videorecord.ogg, videostop.ogg
