I cannot for the life of me understand why when sending images in the Messaging app, it opens them as a video or something, and actually has like a video progress bar. You cannot zoom or pan in the image or anything.
Please tell me there is a way to change this. Why wouldn't they have it open it up in an Image app of your choice, or have image capability built in.
Only reason I even want to use this app is because it has the 'unlock to messaging' feature from the lock screen
But this really bothers me...
Would someone have the ablilty to modify the apk to open images in an image viewer?
Or is that not possible
Don't know the technical ins and outs, but my understanding is that rather than attaching a plain image, the MMS contains slideshow of images (even if there's just being one image being sent), and the slideshow cycles through each image at a set interval when the message is viewed. It's a pain in the ass, but it's not uncommon - the HTC messaging app behaves in exactly the same way for example.
You can save any images you receive to your phone's internal memory or SD card though.
Well that's stupid. You should be able choose what you want to open it with without having to save it...
Sometimes I wonder what the hell Samsung was thinking

This is fairly common with mms as far as i know. If you want it to behave like a picture, just save it as one. Slight over reaction maybe?
Hi guys my firmware in BLFB and I noticed that there's no camera sound when I'm taking picture... Is it the same with you guys?

If your on a cutom rom check its change log if the rom dev did disable that option. If you are on a stock rom maybe you are on silent mode?

Hi mate, I'm on stock... And I'm not in silent mode, everything in my sound is max out... I just noticed today that my camera sound is gone as Im not always using the camera. I do't know if this is because of the BLFB Firmware update (currently Im still in BLFB)...
It seems that no one is experiencing this again... well that's Android... now I know..

In every operating system you'll find problems noone else seems to have encountered.
Do you mean the recording sound the device emits when going into Camera mode or the audio capture of the video?

Hi mate, I'm referring to shutter sound (The sound when you take a picture)... I like my camera to have shutter sound, I searched the web and everybody is asking how to disable shutter sound of S3 but mine doesn't have sound...
I'm not sure when did this happen but I know that there's a shutter sound when I last used it..
PS: I'm not even rooted mate, all is stock, current firmware is LFB...

The camera sound files are stored inside a system folder on your phone. I was going to say to check to see if the files are there and play them to ensure they aren't corrupt. However, if you are not rooted, you may not be able to access them.
If you reflash your current stock rom or update your rom to the latest version from Samsung, I believe that can fix your problems.

How can it be corrupted mate if I didn't do anything to my phone (Just regular use). Previously I also had a problem with OTA update and I needed to clear the data of Software Update for it to run again.
I'm really starting to believe that this is really a buggy piece of software (Android or maybe TW of Samsung)... Even the Accuweather widget is not auto refreshing if I restarted the phone and I need to clear again the data for it to auto refresh again or run normally.
Sorry I'm just frustrated
After doing everything I could (Except the Factory Reset), my camera shutter sound is still not working.
I tried to Clear the data of camera app, restart the phone, shutdown and reopen the phone, shutdown and remove the battery then reopen the phone, tried to uninstall some apps I recently installed, and still no shutter sound
I'm about to try today the "wipe cache partition" but first I tried again to shutdown and reopen my phone and guess what, now my shutter sound is back!
Only difference is currently I dont have any internet connection on my phone (No Wifi / Mobile data). Weird! :silly:

What the heck are you rooted. It sounds to me that things are getting out of hand. Best install a new rom or reflash.

Everything stock mate... Everything is working fine now... I guess this is a Touchwiz problem or worst this is an android thing. I searched the net and there are others experiencing this using different devices... Maybe this is an android bug, I'm not sure as it hard to replicate this problem and theres no accurate solution... :silly:
Check this if you are rooted
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'm also having this same problem...
Let me start from the beginning...
I got the phone from Vodafone Portugal. It came with the ICS rom, but right away I updated with the first polish JB rom. Also put root on it.
I'm constantly updating roms, so I tried most new roms that were releasing, mostly unbranded roms, from France, UK, India, etc... I did some dirty flashes but sometimes I flashed from the ground, full wipe...
Also, never used a custom rom for example...
I don't remember when did it happen, but somehow, camera stop making sounds, shutter sound and selection sounds... I also lost the sound setting from camera menu options...
I never, but never modified that aspect. And with a option do enable/disable sound shutter, why would I need to disable sound shutter with another method?!?!
A few weeks ago, I was on XELLA, and I added that camera line on the feature.xml file. No sounds I got...
By the way, the camera sounds are on a folder inside /system/ and they work perfectly , they are not broken
Today, I updated, dirty flash over XELLA, the new vodafone rom XERM2. I was with no hope to get the sounds...
I remember to check feature.xml on the system/csc folder to see if it was there, but the file was removed. I had a couple of modifications (including the line for the shutter sounds). So I restored an old backup that I had from the file. I set permissions and reboot.
I got a half surprise, guess what, I regain the Camera Sound settings from camera menu options.
The bad thing is that I still can't get any shutter or any other sounds from the camera app
Any ideas?!?! Please!!! I want Camera sounds back!!! Need help please!!!
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.
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 going to wait before throwing a custom rom on it but I'm probably going to root and take the files out

Hello there, can you point me to the directory for Instagram and Snapchat files? I am currently rooted and would really like to remove the shutter sounds as they are very annoying. Thank you.

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
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.
