Hey,
I had to buy a new phone (P10 VTR-L29) in Japan and I have an japanese SIM card. Japanese phones and SIM cards always make the shutter sound. By rooting my phone and by flashing a magisk module, I could delete the shutter sound for whatsapp and other apps. But the stock camera still makes the sound. Is there a way to disable it? There is no option in the camera app to turn off the shutter sound.
Thanks!
Go to settings o f the camera app then scroll down find the mute settig then enable it.

Like I already said: "There is no option in the camera app to turn off the shutter sound."
There should be mute in the settings (drag from right in camera app).
I haven't yet rooted this phone so can't be sure but there should be somewhere in "system/media/audio/ui" to find the camera .ogg files and either rename so you can easily put them back or delete. I would just rename to play safe camera_click.ogg.backup or something (for all camera sounds).
Obviously remember to backup before fiddling in /system

In the attachments is a screenshot of my settings.
I also replaced the system/media/audio/ui files by flashing a magisk module. It worked to some extent. Snapchat, whatsapp and so on won't make a sound, but the stock camera app still makes a sound.
So I am guessing that Huawei hardcoded this setting into the stock camera app if you bought it in Japan.
Maybe someone can extract their stock camera app so I can install it on my phone?

Don't think I am using any different font, I am using Text style default but theme Skyline and Oreo Emoji.

I wouldn't imagine be hardcoded into apk. If you are rooted there is no reason I can see you not being able to turn it off. I would try changing all the sounds off manually rather than through module in case is slightly different names or something, only verified working for Lineage.
Also I think you can change the camera names in build.prop
As I say I haven't rooted this so can't be sure where it is, what it's called or indeed even if there is something there.

Just turn the volume down before you launch the camera app - the volume control controls the zoom level when the camera is launched.

Close, but not quite. /system/media/audio/ui/Shutter_01.ogg is the one. Thanks for the hint, wouldn't have found it so quickly without it.
Thank you
Without rooting, how can I silent the shuttle sound from taking camera and video? Silencing the phone is not working for me.
thanks!
but where is the focus sound? you know when the camera does auto-focus it makes sound.

go into settings, sound and tap volume and set the media volume to 0, see if that works for you.

I think there are some sounds within the camera.apk itself, I think that might be one of them.

Line wasn't in my build.prop. Added it, rebooted, didn't add any options to the settings menu. Took a picture while volume was on silent, still had shutter click noise.

Try this camera.apk!
I've removed the sound, but not tested yet.
Now it should be fully silenced.
Edit:
Tried it, got FC. I'll take a closer look later!
Edit 2:
If you also want to look for this, the audio files are in camera.apk/res/raw

Hi Army92,
Any luck with the FC?
Thanks!
guys.. this works for me and I've only rooted the phone..
Start the camera
Turn the volume right down to 0 via the volume rocker button.
Now there is no click or focus noise at all...
Hi guys,
My Galaxy phone is rooted and I deleted some of the .ogg sound files in the SYSTEM/MEDIA/AUDIO/UI folder, but the camera still makes a clicking sound when taking a photo
Any ideas how to solve this? I want it permanately gone, not just turning down the phone volume
thx

Which ones did you delete and did you restart your phone afterwards? By deleting camera_click and camera_click_short you shouldn't have the sound file anymore so restarting should fix the problem.
Ah, I did delete those, but I still get that "focus beep" how can I get rid of that?

That sound is actually kept inside the APK and you can't remove it without modifying the APK.
You can rename it instead of deleting it in case something goes wrong. The two files should be in system/media/audio/ui 'camera_click.ogg' and camera_focus.ogg'. :victory:
Anyone know how to turn off the camera launch sound ?
Had a quick look around and can't find any way to do it.
Not talking about the shutter sound, it's the noise that it makes when you press the dedicated camera key to launch the camera app.
So that would be no then?

Maybe you can't do it in the Sony stock ROM, if you've rooted your Z1 though you can probably locate the audio file and delete it, or modify the apk file that calls the audio file and delete the line that actually plays the audio file.

Probably would work but find it incredible that such an intrusive noise like this can't be switch off. Currently the only way to stop it is to turn the volume down on the phone.

I just received my device and I'll have a look for you. I can't provide an easy way to disable the sound though since I'm not that good with smali or whatever. But I can probably locate the audio file and tell you about it. Other than that, wait for the custom roms.
Perhaps it can be replaced by a quieter shorter sound, the current noise is the electronic equivalent of Dom Joly shouting 'I'M USING MY CAMERA'.

Okay I found the audio file for you, didn't do it last night because of other things.
It's located here: /system/app/SemcCameraUI.apk/res/raw/start_up_notifier.wav
I assume you can delete it and you shouldn't have the start up sound anymore. The problem at the moment is that unlocking the bootloader breaks the camera, and I don't feel like breaking my camera to try and see if it works.
Just to be save, make sure you backup your "SemcCameraUI.apk" file before modifying it and if things don't do as planned, put it back.
you dont have to unlock the bootloader to delete that file, root is enough.

That's totally true, but you can't modify the odexed apk file. You first have to deodex it, delete it, then odex it again and see if it works.. speaking of which I can give it a shot. Will report back later!
DU Hellooooo00ooo,
Well, Hi there good people of XDA.
Using my S4 active for a good 2 months now (minus the month away fo replacement, water damage) but I'm getting really annoyed with the camera shutter and filming sound.
Looked on the whole internetz but could only find tips that didn't work.
So here's what I tried:
>> Phone needs to be rooted! > Downlaod "Note 2 hidden settings" from the market and disable shutter sound.
This works and is the quickest and most easy way to do it. You need to be rooted though!
>> "If the phone is rooted... goto root > system > media > ui
Under ui , rename the files shutter.ogg to anything eg shutter_no.ogg
do the same for camera...
Reboot....
Voila!!!! No camera sounds..."
This works when used with a ROOT explorer who can get W/R permissions
>>"If you want to remove it completely, try this app. It worked on all my previous phones.
https://sites.google.com/site/enforcedstreamsilencer/
You're welcome."
This didn't help either. (could install and use it but didn't change a thing)
>> "Click on the settings icon. Press it again for a window to pop up. Then select the most right tab and scroll down, you should see the shutter sound option. It should be second to last on the list."
This option isn't even there on my (unbranded) S4 active. (seems to be not available in some countries due to privacy stuff)
>> "If you are rooted, you can change the settings to give you the prompt on the menu. The file is root/system/csc/feature.xml. Change the "false" in the shuttersoundmenu line to "true". It will put the option on the camera settings menu."
This didn't work because when I tried to change the false to true it didn't let me save it.
So my question here:
Is there any other way to get rid of this shutter sound?
And if not. Am I doing something wrong with the file changing?
Thanks for any help in advance!

You need to use a root file-explorer and then mount the /system folder as RW - the options to do this should be in whatever root explorer you choose to use. Remember to remount back as read-only when you're done deleting, for security.
If you install the Xposed framework and then the Wanam Xposed module it'll offer the ability to shut off that/those sound(s) for you, as well as add a whole bunch of other functionality too. Highly recommended for such tweaks because it's easily reversible courtesy of a checkbox...

Xposed framework. Heard that was a tricky thing to do with the active.. Or am I wrong?
will test the RW thing tonight. Will let you know how it went

Xposed framework works fine for me on the i9295, but then it's a bit overkill for just disabling the shutter sound - if that's all you want to do, just use the file-delete method. I used ES File Explorer to remount the /system folder and make the change, and have had to redo it after every update of course.

i think you can just turn off the sound from the camera settings, no need to be going into system files

That is unfortunately not true - Samsung is one of the companies that choose not to give the end user the choice to break the law.
Yes, in some countries it is apparently illegal to turn off the shutter sound, due to rampant upskirt picture taking and so on.

Really - although I should of course only speak for the Active since that's the device I own, I've heard repeatedly that Samsung owners have problems with this. Perhaps some devices are excluded - alas the international S4 Active is not.
Edit: I checked, and that option does indeed exist on certain versions of the S4 - not most of them, and not the S4 Active however, or at least not the international version. I'm guessing you have a regular S4 by the endline of your post - please note that this is the forum for the S4 Active, a completely different device.
Guys guys guys,
The shutter sound setting is there depending on country and their laws on those things.
At my S4 Active that option is not there, read the first post where I talk about changing a word from false to true to activate that option. Still didn't work.
The matter is solved for me but if you don't believe that there ISN'T a settings button... here's a screenshot

It's not entirely country-dependant - it's model and provider dependant. Samsung by default apparently removes the setting. A few providers in the US put it back in their custom versions of the phones - on the regular S4.
Don't worry, it's not an argument - I just think it's better if the real info is in the thread when people go searching for ways to fix this "feature".
i just change to silent mode on my s4 active int. version.
No shutter sound.

as mentioned...Note 2 Hidden Settings allows you to set the shutter sound among other settings.
you can download from play store. it requires root though.
Note 2 hidden settings works aswell indeed. will update OP with that option!
