Turning camera shutter sound off

[hiero]

Do you have to root to do this or just have the ability to open the .db file? Thanks.

hmm, I believe you'll have to be rooted as I don't think you'll be able to edit db files unless you're rooted

That sucks! I'll root my S3 one day but for now, I'm happy running it stock. I can't believe how much I've missed TW, lol! Being able to swipe left or right on contacts for messaging or dialing should be normal on android!!!

Couldn't someone with the version of the S3 that has an option to turn off the shutter sound just post up the APK for the camera and then everyone else could install it?

I have no clue if that's how this works but on my Droid X I used to have several camera apps installed. I was running MIUI however and don't know if there is even a way to extract just the Sense camera.

Does not work with Sprint.

So Sprint is the only carrier truly keeping skirt wearing women safe from perverts then?

I am on Telus in Canada and as long as my phone is on Vibrate or Silent the camera focus and shutter sound doesn't go off.

Weird it does it for some but not others...

Just as a side note I am running stock ICS, no roots or hacks

You can use Tasker to silence the phone when opening the camera app and return to the previous volume settings when you close it.

I am on an unlocked international SGS3 on Rogers, and when I pull the volume all the way off to vibrate, no more shutter sound. However, when I do the same thing with my wife's (same model, same carrier), the shutter sound is still heard. The 2 differences with the phone right now are:
I did an update to mine through the software update.
I rooted my SGS3.
I will keep looking and try to find a solution to this and will report back if I find anything.

PS: New to the forum. Hello everyone

There should be an option to turn off the shutter sound in the camera setting. I have it off on mine.

Like the message said, there is currently NO OPTION to turn off the shutter sound on a Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII.

 

[jeebs98]

It is there. When you open the settings in the camera mode you can scroll the options. Scroll down to to the shutter sound in the menu box. What opens up in the menu box is not all the settings.

No, it isn't...

 

[jeebs98]

So maybe all of the US phones have it? (still waiting on my Verizon phone!)

No, not the Sprint US version (build IMM76D.L710VPALG8).

 

[jeebs98]

Some phone makers are not providing the options to mute the camera click sound so as to prevent perverts from taking under-skirt shots, which is good.

You know this for a fact?

I'm on verizon. I just set my ring to vibrate or no sound, then I have no shutter sound.

Sprint doesn't work that way. There is NO way to silence the Sprint GS3.

Just turn the volume down on your phone to vibrate. No shutter sound. Done.

Hello folks,

Just download and install this apk. Confirmed tested and working on Sprint and Verizon S III's. No rooting required. Enjoy!

Root your device, install Root Explorer, navigate to /system/csc/feature.xml (make sure r/w is toggled, long press and open in text editor)

Edit the setting below to true. Reboot, then you will have the option to disable the shutter sound.

true

Probably my biggest pet peeve with this phone so far.

The shutter still sounds in vibrate and silent mode, and it's LOUD.

It's a Sprint phone in the U.S. and there is no option to turn it off in camera settings.

Is there an app that allows you to have control over this?

I agree.
