Re: How dod I turn off the S5's camera's shutter 'click'?
I also have sprint, and this option is not on my s5 either. It's maddening.

Galaxy S5: How do I turn off the camera's shutter 'click'?
- Thread starter BubbaMac
- Start date
No Skimmt, there is no sound off control on Sprint. Not even on 4.4.4. You have to either install the mentioned app or root. Sprint doesn't allow silencing off camera shutter. I'm not rooted but use the app. If I want the sound back on, I go back into the app and uncheck the option.

Or just download an alternative camera app, there are many.Go to the camera settings and you have to scroll down. It doesn't look like you can but it does.
On the right there is a option for shutter sound...bingo!

Actually I have a Verizon SM-G900V and I do have the option to turn off the shutter sound via camera settings. I am on 4.4.4.
You have to scroll down as it is toward the bottom of the settings menu.

I think kregstrong means sovereign nation-states, not constituent States of the USA or any other country that is divided into states.
No, it's no joke. In some cultures it may be taken as serious affront to take a picture of anybody, or their property, without their knowledge or permission. In the Western world the German-speaking countries are noted for this, which is why you will find almost no Google Street View coverage there and probably never will.
From the website of Austrian radio station OE24:
Translation:
The second article I linked to, in the English translation, also explains that the person who applied for the permission was doing so in the interest of legal due diligence. It's unclear to me that anyone had ever officially suggested that a licensing system for this should have been set up.
The underlying legal principle is essentially that the right of non-involved third parties not to have themselves or their belongings photographed trumps the supposedly legitimate utility of camera footage in the investigation of accidents, because the pursuit and punishment of traffic violators remains the job of law enforcement, not private citizens.
So...you wanted to snap a few pictures on your phone without bystanders being aware? And without even the sensible precaution of wishing to protect yourself in case you're accused of causing an accident by tailgating the car in front of you? Ha! While Austria's laws don't apply elsewhere, some other countries do have shutter silencing bans, so phones that disable or omit the silencing feature are increasingly the norm.
However, I found that Chris' fix in post #10 worked fine. I was surprised because in the past I've always had to root my phone and make a small adjustment to a couple of system files. I just got the S5 last week, and I'm rooted now, but I couldn't find the files I usually rename or edit.

Re: How dod I turn off the S5's camera's shutter 'click'?
It can still be a law even if it only requires the OEM or service provider to make silencing difficult, but not impossible. Remember that Microsoft case in the EU which centered on the fact that MS was shipping copies of Windows in which IExplorer was the default browser. AFAIK there was nothing in the software that prevented anyone from installing and using some other browser, but MS still lost the case.

I have found that I sometimes have to open up the volume settings again, even if I already made the changes, in order that this solution will continue to work.

For those wondering exactly how you do install apps outside of Play Store, it goes like this:
1. Get the .apk file onto your phone--I did it by emailing it to myself, but you should be able to copy it over a USB connection or download it directly onto your device, if you prefer.
2. Go into your device settings and tick the option that lets you install apps from unknown sources. On my device it's Settings=>Security=>Unknown Sources; your exact path might be different if you use the tabbed or tiled display options.
3. Navigate to the .apk file you downloaded, or if you emailed it just open the message and click on the attachment. This step installs the app.
4. Open the Enforced Stream Silencer app and tick the checkbox. Profit!
5. Remember to untick the "Unknown Sources" box from Step 2.

I installed this on my S5 last night, and so far it's worked like a charm, and that even though I'm already rooted and had already renamed the ogg files, which hadn't really worked.

It is there. You have to scroll down in your settings. It is the box above "Reset Settings". I have a Verizon S5 also.
