The Motorola forum links don't seem to work -- do you have to be logged in to even read the site?

^^ I believe that is the file my brother emailed me. "Enforced Stream Silencer". Works without root. Opening the .apk it just gives you one option. Check the box and your camera will silence. Presumably if you want it back, run it again and un-check it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
The easiest way to do this is if you use root explorer to change /system/build.prop in text editor near the bottom find ro.media.capture.shuttertone=0 and change it to =1 you can then select wether you want the shuttertone on or off in the settings of your camera, requires a reboot
[Motorola Photon 4G] mykeyvee:
turn off camera shutter sound on the motorola photon

this works for unrooted phones.

you have to first set your phone to allow third party applications to be installed by going to menu settings, applications, then check the box that says "unknown sources". then open the app when it downloads and simply check the only box available within the app, and you're done. enjoy silent picture taking! sounds creepy, but i just hate the factory sounds. this wasn't my app btw, just found it and thought i'd share.
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
There is an soup for this that doesn't require root just search shutter sound in the app store
[Motorola Photon 4G] 37325:
The path for me , is : /system/media/audio/ui .

Works for me on a SGS II rooted ICS 4.0.3 :)

Using CameraZOOM FX.
[Motorola Photon 4G] wvmtnhigh:
Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jayman007:
on my sgs2 running ics I have deleted the said file and still the sound plays.

On GB I was able to silent it no probs but after upgrading to ICS I can't kill the shutter sound. Of course my phone is rooted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] prab2112:
Well Thnx a lot works for me! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Locane:
For others - if deleting that file didn't work:

I have a Galaxy S3, and my camera sound still played even after using a rooted file explorer to delete the cameraclick.ogg file.

I had to delete shutter.ogg too.

Hopefully that will save someone some frustration.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mattjw1978:
Shutter.ogg DID IT!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Saeen:
I've a person who wants me to trade Galaxy SL with my Xperia x10i GB. Im loving x10i but more ram of SL is making me greedy for multi tasking. I m heavy multi tasking person and it means alot to me. I m fine but not satisfied with x10i multi tasking as I get only 50mb ram left behind. Is it good to trade? Please suggest your ideas.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kmilof:
do it, i've changed my x10 for a i9000.

really worth it. it just a better phone overall
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Saeen:
Ok specification wise its better but can you tell about how it is better like in what aspects especially in multitasking?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PartyVirginX10:
I owned x10 for a while but after warranty repair was unable to repair it, they replaced it with T9000, I must say that Galaxy S is by far the better phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Saeen:
Thanks guys :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DummyPLUG:
I will keep the x10i, the ram increase not enough for heavy multitasking, and the x10 firmware is much more smooth and stable, I got fc on some games, but my wife x10 never got a problem. the only adv. is my i9000 got a better cam,but dunno if this is the same for the SL
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DummyPLUG:
and people, he is talking a SL, which is totally different from the 9000
[Galaxy S I9000 General] punpun214:
I'm using the SL right now but I also have a i9000 ..get the sl.. I find that it is much smoother than the x10..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Saeen:
X10i free's 109mb - 70mb most of time and its good at multitasking while the i9003 SL leaves around say 200mb, how could it be at that I'm just becoming happy even thinking of this.

BTW guys, my deal is ruined as the guy I was swapping had the phone bought from India and it has less value than the one bought from here (Saudi Arabia). Of course cause of the warranty he was keeping covers India only. :(

First off, a note: yes we're still working on Caravel (and another game).

Now to the fun stuff:

We created an "exciting" new app this summer to help us out in calculations needed for some projects we are running.

The version attached to this post logs all score to a private special XDA scoreboard, and we would love to hear some feedback!

The description:

WARNING: This application is only for those among us who dare to risk it all to achieve eternal glory.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, install this application unless you are willing to explore the very edge of your abilities.

Muster every grain of courage you have before starting this application, as only pure dare, strength and dexterity will stand between you and the abyss.

Simply put, we want you to throw your phone as high as you are physically capable of!

This simple, yet devious, goal statement will challenge you, your friends and those unwise enough to challenge you!

As you may have noticed, this app is not supported by either marketing or donations!

Instead the phone will accept calculations to help us solve problems related to the AI and Cryptography fields.

These will only take place when your phone is recharging and not in use. It will stop the instant you start using it again. So under no circumstances will you be inconvenienced by this.

You have our thanks in advance for helping our project!

Eg.: An excellent drinking-game; Height measurement tool; Reflexes; Throwing app

In essence, this app will measure how high you have thrown your phone and allow you to challenge others, achieve achievements, and maintain a global scorelist.

Keep in mind that you should really try to minimize the amount of spin in a throw, as the program cannot handle the added noise.

Features we couldn't include due to restrictions (but are ready, code-wise):

- Camera recording of throw	(Minimum ASDK 2.3 for some semblance of stability)

- Rotation detection and compensation	(Not fast enough / inaccurate)
[Android Apps and Games] Phaze13:
BrickJoke = Throwing Phone, I can't tell if this is a joke post or not. Drinking and throwing phones. Letting your drunk friends throw your phone to see who wins = you lose. :confused:

Anybody trying this?
[Android Apps and Games] :
I think its a joke, send it to one of your friends n they will try n throw their phone the furthest distance, itll damage their phone lmao good one

It was a study project for us on Signal processing on the accelerometer.

We did some research on trying to detect whether a phone is in freefall when it is spinning by trying to extrapolate 3 vs 2 vectors from the accelerometer using the compass etc.

In the end it worked relatively well, and now it's a small experiment on distributed calculations, made free in a fun app (challenges / achievements and all) to see how popular it could become.

So far 2 people have made it on the XDA highscore list (download the apk from the first post, I'll make an secret option in the market version later on).
[Android Apps and Games] methius:
For shame good sirs, a maximum of only ~2 meters so far? tsk!
[Android Apps and Games] methius:
Seriously guys! Apparently there are idiots out there who have already broken the 10+m barrier! :D
[Android Apps and Games] methius:
Congrats on achieving 5+m!

At the moment we're trying to add camera recording to the application, and should have it done in a couple of days!
[Android Apps and Games] methius:
We updated the program now to have some more extensive signal processing on the fall detection. If you guys could help out by benchmarking and telling is if the numbers are off, you would be helping us out a lot!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boodafli:
if you're running the rooted stock dj11, then you have to unroot, apply the update, and then use superoneclick to re-root the new stock ec02 rom. alternately, you can hit the dev section, and snag a rooted ec02, which is flashable via heimdall. but your updates won't ever work with root. so you always have to unroot, and then apply the update, and then reroot.

also, if you used z4root to root, trust me when i say, it won't work for ec02. you have to use superoneclick, and you have to make sure you have the right drivers installed on the computer, or it stalls out.

I took the battery out and i tried again to power on, but the led is blinking. I tried to enter bootloader( vol down+ power button) but nothing happed. When i connect it to pc the computer recognize something. I don`t know linux, so i don`t know any commands. When i connect it to charge led stays on for a few seconds then stars blinking.

[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Had something strange happen today. I was streaming a video through the Netflix app for a little over an hour while I had my x2 plugged into my Motorola car charger. It never missed a beat or locked up or skipped or rebooted but it did get pretty hot in my hand. So much so that I removed the vzw silicone case I had on it. Finished the movie just fine. Later on, as I was putting it in a pocket, I saw some silver down in the external speaker on the back. Looks like the black plastic film beneath the speaker screen bubbled & melted slightly, although it still sounds just fine. Could it have gotten that hot w/o shutting down? Should I be worried?
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
As long as everything is still working correctly I wouldn't worry. But it wouldn't hurt to give verizon a call and tell them what happened, that way they can make a note of it in your account and if you suffer a future malfunction it will probably be easier to get a replacement out of them.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Sounds like a plan, thanks. Ever hear of anything like it happening?
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
Never heard of a phone getting so hot that the speaker melted lol.

I do know that the 3g radio in the x2 is like a mini furnace, and was the likely culprit. Wifi keeps the temperature much lower. And the tegra2 has a operational temperature of 26.6° - 158° F. Which it pretty hot, although I'm not sure when the self preservation shut down kicks in, I'd guess around 150° F. So it can get really hot before it will shut down on it's own.

Anyways, like I said before it was *probably* because you were on 3g and using so much data constantly. Now that you know you can try to minimize those situations, or give the radio a break every 30 minutes or so. And use wifi whenever possible.

Cheers
[Motorola Droid X2] BelacNongaw:
They do get hot, and keep in mind when these phones are engineered they aren't designed with cases in mind. The aluminum battery cover for example is designed to help dissipate heat from the phone. These cases don't allow the phone to dissipate as designed. They are fine for the most part...but so many heavy users are complaining about overheating with their cases. I'd call and see if Verizon would be willing to do something, and then try without a case.

Also...the weaker the signal you are getting the hotter that 3g radio will get. As mentioned above, if wifi is available it will help tremendously.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Update: According to vzw, this thing should shut down before any physical damage occurs to anything. Must have an issue with the phone so they are sending a replacement.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheMavic:
+1. Once the temp reaches a certain point it will go into "cooldown" which basically turns your phone off.

I also agree with the 3G being a mini furnace.

It's an nVidia SoC you are dealing with. They always make chips that run hot.
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
Yeah nvidia tend to run a little hot, mine for example runs in the 105-115° F range on wifi, any phone I've had with a TI would rarely go over 100° F.

Sent from OH MY GOD IS THAT A SQUIRREL!
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
I guess their point is that it should've gone into cooldown before anything actually melted. The fact that it was charging too should not have made a difference.
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
I agree it should have shutdown, but I don't have a point of comparison. Yours is the highest temp I've heard of.

I wouldn't complain about a new phone though, especially after it was subjected to high temperatures like that. Reliability becomes a crap-shoot after something like that.

[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
My thoughts exactly.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
I Have Extremely Poor Service -95 To -115 dBm And The Highest I've Seen Is 65° C. By That Point I Knew Something Was Wrong When I Thought My Hand Was Going To Burst Into Flames. I Use A SETCpu Profile For The CPU And Battery Temperatures. I Don't Trust Verizon Saying They Have A Safety Feature For It When I Know My Computers CPU Hits 70° C It Has A Shutdown Feature To Save It.
[Motorola Triumph] zurui:
If I deleted the sounds off of the phone, I'd get some weird side effects... the startup would play some random sound, and the shutdown would end up rebooting instead of shutting down, so I made mp3's with just silence. They are attached below.

the two paths are:

/hidden/data/Power-on sound/VMU_Power_up.mp3

/system/media/audio/ui/VMU_Power_Down_48_24.mp3
[Motorola Triumph] mr2011:
For those not inclined to mess with system files, you can also download Silent Boot from the Market. Not at all trying to offend OP, thank you for sharing this :)
[Motorola Triumph] zurui:
ive never tried silent boot since i heard it doesnt work for shutdown... or there was some trick with silencing your phone first before shutting down then turning the ringer back on when you boot back up
[Motorola Triumph] Etegral:
What the Silent Boot app does is just turn the phone to silent mode when you turn it off, and then turns off silent mode once you boot into Android again. This works fine, unless you do not shutdown properly (phone freezes, battery pulled), in which case the sounds will still play.
[Motorola Triumph] damageinc55:
Thanks for this. Worked great.
[Motorola Triumph] medmansri:
Thanks for this! Now i can use my phone is silence... ahh.

On the same note, can we delete or alter the power up and power off animation too?

EDIT:

Actually, the start-up sound is still there, while the shut down is silent. What could be wrong? I've put everything in the correct place.
[Motorola Triumph] damageinc55:
Did you just rename the old files .old? I did this and it still played my start up sound. Once I moved the .old file elsewhere, it no longer played the sounds.
[Motorola Triumph] medmansri:
Thanks. Moving the old file did the trick. Now its truly silent.
[Motorola Triumph] davidfig:
Unable to rename is Astro filemanager

So did you do this with adb or a file manager. I do have root, but didn't work.
[Motorola Triumph] idbl_fanatic:
I did it with file manager
[Motorola Triumph] davidfig:
I get permission denied. I also used ADB GUI and got permission denied. I have a rooted MT. I cannot su in the adb shell.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Triumph] davidfig:
Ok so using ES File Explorer with root enabled I was able to replace shutdown. But when I try to replace startup sound it fails. What more can I do.
[Motorola Triumph] medmansri:
I've used ES file explorer
[Motorola Triumph] davidfig:
Read-only file system

When I try to do anything with /system/media/audio/ui/VMU_Power_Down_48_24.mp3 It says failed, Read-only file system.

Do I have the correct directory?
[Motorola Triumph] damageinc55:
I had no problems using Root Explorer
[Motorola Triumph] submicron:
I used ES File Explorer and it worked after I created a subdirectory /old and moved the original file there. Oddly, with the original file in the original location, even with a change of file type from mp3 to bak, it was still being read at startup, even with the replacement mp3 file in the same directory. I had to move the bak file to a subdirectory to keep it from playing.

Thanks for making the files!! Silence is bliss!
[Motorola Triumph] Genesis3:
I just overwrote it -

AFTER

saving the originals into a directory on my SD card in case I wanted them back at some point in the future.

Used ES file explorer in root mode, mounted the system directories writeable - no problems.

16GB Storage.

512 Ram.

And the gesture area has been improved

[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Hi, I think i bricked my P970... ;(

I was on V10a with CWM installed. I tried to update my phone to V10b via FOTA in the main menu. Phone downloaded firmware update (approx. 7MB) and rebooted into CWM recovery. It stuck there. Tried to reboot, wipe data, but it still loops into CWM recovery.

Finally i tried emergency restore via LG Update. Whole update process looked fine until reboot.

After that I'm stuck on grey screen saying Firmware Update, After firmware update phone will reboot, blah blah blah, with empty progress bar. Nothing happens... Sometimes there's blue screen (kernel panic?).

Is there any chance to revive this phone? Please help...
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Go to the P970 Firmwares Flashing thread and read it with calm. Use method 1 tutorial to flash a newer version, from 10B (the ota update) to 11B.

Good luck. :)

I'm trying this right now. Will post if it succeeded.
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Tried V11B, reboot, grey screen "Firmware Update" and then blue screen with green writings. I think I'm totally screwed up... ;(

EDIT: Sorry for double-posting...
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
:S I just did it 5 minutes ago with 11B because I bricked mine, and eventually succeeded. It must have broken really hard... You'll have to visit LG center I guess...

Sorry :)
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
I was upgrading from V10a Orange PL to V10b Orange PL (with fixed root exploit).

After I bricked it, I was trying with KDZ FW UPD with every version: Orange V10a, V10b, V10b EUR Open, V10c, V11b and there's always this grey screen saying "Internal firmware upgrade. Phone will restart after firmware upgrade (from Polish) with empty progress bar with flashing buttons? Don't know what to do...
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I've never seen that screen. It has to do with the FOTA, which I think you should have never done if you were rooted. I'm sorry, but it looks like you will have to deliver it to the store if anyone else can help you.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Yes it's my stupid mistake, i was updating via FOTA with rooted phone. :(

It's too bad that OB doesn't have key combination for recovery. I think there's nothing else but trying to return it to my operator. I hope they'll fix it on the warranty...
[LG Optimus Black] nunogil:
Hey man have you tried to take the battery off sd card off everything off and connected the phone to pc via usb thile pressing vol up button? It should appear S/W Upgrading screen.
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Yes I did. I'm always flashing with method 1 (UncleCacker's), without battery, SD card and SIM. I also tried emergency restore via LG Updater but nothing helps.

EDIT:

I gave up... Phone is at my local store now, waiting for warranty repair...

EDIT2:

Phone was repaired at LG repair center. They replaced motherboard from AORPTL (Orange PL) with simlock to APOLTL (Open Europe Poland) without simlock so i have luck. :)

Received my phone in the end of August.
