[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nelee02:
Great.. I was talking about the Odin one click.. I cant open iy on my computer and there is not a option to extract the file. Was my phone supposed to be in download mode, hooked up before I started the downloading the link?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ZionZR2:
What File Explorer / File Manager do you recommend to find and edit the shutter.ogg file?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
If you're rooted, I can save you so much time lol. But if your stock, use the Odin 1 click run it as administrator.

If your rooted, just go to system/crs(I think, something similarly named), and then open the file named features with a text editor, and a line will say camera sound options enabled. It should say something like >false<. Just replace false with true, then save and then exit and reboot and the option will appear in your camera
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rando991:
It is system/csc/features.xml. I had to copy this file to the sd card, edit it and then make the system rw enabled, and then paste the edited file over the existing file...then reboot. Four some reason my text editor would lock up when trying to open the one in csc. Likewise you could save the copied file to a pc and edit it there too, then copy it back to your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhill110:
Wow. Something so easy can become so difficult.

Es explorer works fine. Go into it's settings and make sure you have file settings and root settings checked properly (self explanatory) change permissions of framework.xml to rw r r. Edit file, save, reboot and viola!

It will also make a backup of the file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ZionZR2:
This method worked perfectly for me. Thanks!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhill110:
Glad I could help.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Katz916:
If I do a hard reset to my phone, will I have to add this again?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhill110:
I believe so. Update to MB1 rewrites the file so hard reset probably does also.

+ on ES Explorer! Thanks for the tip...so much better than Root Explorer, which I just dumped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
i did billard 412's one click on my unrooted sprint gs3 and it all seemed to be fine, but then i noticed the wifi toggle was greyed out and wouldn't stay in the "on" position. it just kept saying "Turning on..." but didn't do anything. after a while, i ended up doing a factory reset but still have the same issue.

does anyone have any thoughts on this? thanks, i'd really appreciate any help. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] runninwithscissors:
Thank you billard: same scenario as goldenbrown.

On a positive note... camera shutter now has an on/off toggle! I guess it robbed the functionality of the WiFi toggle though... (jk) the toggle can be slid to 'on' but immediately slides back to 'off"

After running the one-click successfully I allowed the phone to reboot and received errors "android.process.acore has stopped" "android.process.media has stopped" email has stopped.... I performed a factory reset and the shutter option stuck :) but the WiFi issue emerged.

On another note: I thought it'd be a good idea to set Call Forwarding on so I could explore the phone w/o that possible interruption but that option is not on my Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII?!

Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] runninwithscissors:
Oops about call forwarding

Sprint still uses dial codes for Call-Forwarding so that option is moot

I decided to run the one-click again and this time it went completely without a hitch, camera shutter option is there, with the exception of the Wi-Fi slider still sliding back. I read the Samsung sprint PDF and it says that by default wi-fi is off and that "The On/Off slider displays ON when Wi-Fi is active" All my other wireless connections are fine and I see 6+ others.

Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] runninwithscissors:
All good w/Sprint OTA

About 2 seconds from using M.Skippen's SII Universal toolkit to revert, gratefully Sprint sent an OTA @ 157.*MB installed it and WiFi slider/toggle works plus the Camera shutter fix is still in place.

Device info shows 4.1.2 but it's Sprint's fix and just an update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Thanks for the update and glad to hear it's working again for you :good:

I went ahead and got rooted with billard412's help, and wifi toggle is back in business!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] runninwithscissors:
Great

:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Crooked Rain:
Does anyone have a working link to billard's toggle? The current link doesn't work anymore.

Edit: Nevermind. He posted an updated version on Android Central.

Unfortunately, new members can't post outside links.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Download goo manager and search billiard412, you will find it there
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Crooked Rain:
Ended up talking to billard412 on google talk and he got me all sorted out. Awesome guy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Thought I'd let everyone know before I pass out that I now have separate versions of the toggle add for both LJ7 MB1 and MD4 to do away with the conflicts that caused issues for some. Also note the the new format is much smaller and way faster which means

THE 16GB + 32GB STORAGE CAPACITY HAVE THEIR OWN FILE. CHOOSING INCORRECTLY WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. Some of the files are password protected for safety. Some of them are not so until I get around to doing that please don't be stupid as I'm not taking the blame for u not paying attention.

IF YOU OWN A 16GB MODEL GO HERE

IF YOU OWN A 32GB MODEL GO HERE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] twig49:
Wow, 11 pages for this.

Sad how important such a small thing can become for users and yet Sprint chooses to hide behind "proposed" legislation making such a sound mandatory and un changable on new devices due to federal privacy issues. Meanwhile, even though the iphone has the ability to turn the sound off, the iphone is under complete control of Apple thus making it exempt? ... from the Sprint line up and they continue to sell it ? .... Uhhh, what about privacy, and all that other rhetoric being spewed in reference to the S3 ?

Hypocrisy knows no bounds ..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
And if the iPhone doesn't contradict them enough there is an HTC phone (can't think which one) that just got an ota that reenabled the on off shutter sound option. Hmmm.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Go Hard or Go Home:
First, thank you billard412 for all this great work.

I have an EVO LTE and my wife has the G3, so all this is new to me. She hates the camera sound also. I think my EVO had an update that forced the camera sounds then was removed in the next update. I do have a couple, hopefully easy, questions:

How do I determine if she has a 16gb or 32gb model?

I'm assuming the goo.im link I want is the "Windows Cam Toggle". How do I know if I want to use the "LJ7" or "MB1" file? Again, I'd assume the MB1 file because it says ODIN OC in it.

Thanks again for all your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Well for the "LJ7" versus "MB1" files, thats just the build number

Go to Settings > About Phone > And read the last three characters under baseband. Thats your build number, and just download the file that matches that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
ITs most likely the 16gb but to figure out which one for sure go into settings>storage and under the Device memory look at "Total Space". The 16gb model will have about 11-12gb or total space and the 32gb will have around 26-27gb of total space. TO find out wheather its mb1 or lj7 look in settings>about device and under "build number" the last 3 digits will be mb1 or lj7

and yes you want the windows one. Found out that the other ones probably wont work on this s3 :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmark27:
Billard, would this be possible to do on the Epic 4G Touch? Kobridge has a tweak over here that will silence the camera for those with root and a custom recovery. I want to silence my wife's camera but don't want to root it (well, don't versus won't because she'll cut my balls off). I think because it involves silencing so many different .ogg files, I bet it wouldn't work. If not, it'd be worth a $15 donation if you could get it to work. I'm sure that you'd be a hero to those folks too and get more donations too.

Just thought I'd ask. And thank you for all that you do for us!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Silencing the ogg files by deleting/renaming them is the half assed way of doing it. The right way (and how my oc does it) is to change one word in a single line of text in a configuration file that adds the toggle so you can choose on demand. With that said I can most likely make it happen on the e4gt. And if you happened to read what was posted before I altered this post then disregard it. I forgot to turn my brilliant on when I wrote it. .

And I have to add that a custom recovery wouldnt be required for this just root for all of about two minutes. But i understand women logic mixed with a threat to ones balls is nothing to fck around with so as of now I say expect something tonight and make sure the phone has the latest ota as that will be a requirement
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmark27:
I've got her on GB27 stock, no root. FYI, for your genius/brilliant. The latest OTA was FL24, the latest leak (and forthcoming rumored OTA) was GB27.

billard412,

I love the fact that you were able to come up with a one click work around not having a choice to turn on or off the shutter sound on the Sprint Samsung GS3. I went through the steps for adding the shutter on/off option and had no problems except for one. After running the 16gb_L710_CAM_TOGGLE-ODIN-OC.exe since I have the 16GB version my Mobile Data was disabled and every time I tried to enable it, I would receive a message that said something like I did not have a sim card installed to enable the Mobile Data. After that I flashed 4.1.1 back onto the phone and the Mobile Data could be selected again. Running 4.1.2 now I was wondering if anyone else had run across this problem or if there was another fix for it.

SPH-L710

4.1.2

L710VPBMB1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Yes this problem had occurred before but I've only seen it with people using the wrong version. Did you by chance flash the one for lj7 while on mb1 because that for sure would've done it

---------- Post added at 03:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 AM ----------

Alright scratch that looks like you used the right one according to the filename. Did you at all by chance have a modem or firmware not updated to mb1. Only ask as that's what causes the issue. The new ones I have up cause the flash count to be raised.however it is automatically reset before your phone reboots. If your firmware (your modem more specifically) is not the same as the file that resets the count it will cause the partitioning to go partially out of alignment until you fix it. You did it by downgrading however flashing a modem by itself using Odin will also correct this. Nothing actually goes wrong with the radio the phone is just unable to see the part of it containing the imei and network info hence causing no signal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spyder1979:
Is there is a direct link to the one click that is specific to my GS3. When I did the one click that disabled the Mobile Data, it was running 4.1.2 and the band build was L710VPBMB1 and build number JZO54K.L710VPBMB1. Also I ran the one click SPRINT_SIII-CAMERA_SOUND_TOGGLE (MB1 UPDATE).exe and it soft brick my GS3 and I had to flash 4.1.1 recovery. Will anything in goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr link help with the camera toggle problem? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Message me on google talk and i can guide you through it. In short run the file to silence it again and if you lose mobile data again download this http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390377242061701400 and extract to your desktop. Boot into download mode, Load the file called NON-HLOS.bin into the phone slot and click start just like with the one click. Itll reboot and it'll be fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spyder1979:
Thanks. I got it to work. The problem was that when I originally tried the one click I tried the SPRINT_SIII-CAMERA_SOUND_TOGGLE (MB1 UPDATE)-ODIN_OC.exe , which soft brick the SG3 even though I was on MB1, then I flashed it with the most current stock ROM I could find which was 4.1.1. Then I tried the 16gb_L710_CAM_TOGGLE-ODIN-OCexe. After that the Mobile Data was disabled. Now what I did this time was try the 16gb_L710_CAM_TOGGLE-ODIN-OCexe after I updated the phone to Sprints 4.1.2. Now everything works and I have the shutter on/off toggle. One question I do have though, whenever Sprint or Samsung decide to put out 4.2 or skipping that and going to 5.0 key lime pie, would I have to redo this flash with an updated file from you or will it stick even through future updates?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
It depends on weather or not they care enough to overwrite it. Most likely will stick. It did for the people who used it on lj7 then updated to mb1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spyder1979:
Thanks for your help. Hopefully they will not mess with it. However if they do screw with it with the next or future OTA's would you be willing to have updates to keep bypassing this choice by Sprint? Also do you know of any other one click mods or any other kind of mods that can be done to to stock GS3? Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmark27:
Hey Billard, as you probably know since you're part of SXTP the MC3 leak is up. Just reporting that the shutter sound MOD does NOT stick through this update. Let me know if you want me to test anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gijoecam:
I'm running a rooted stock Sprint GS3. I installed ES File Explorer, navigated to the file, opened it using ES Note Editor, changed >false< to >true<, but when I attempt to save the change, I get the error message, "Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved."

What am I missing?

Nevermind... I missed one of the check-boxes in ES File Editor to mount the file system as writeable... Thought I checked the box, but I must have double-tapped it. Works fine now! Thanks a million!!

Typed too quickly while the phone was still rebooting... the change took in the file, but the menu still doesn't give me the option to toggle the sound, and the shutter still makes its annoying sound. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gijoecam:
I also ran the 16gb _L710_CAM_TOGGLE ODIN one-click you posted earlier... It appears the install took successfully, it rebooted, scrolled through a bunch of stuff at the bottom of the screen, then rebooted into the launcher. When it came up, I'm still not showing the toggle for the shutter sound and the shutter still makes a sound.

Did I screw something up?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] HashTagHell:
I just started using Snap Camera in the Play Store and it allows shutter mute.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Sorry to the people with issues. Probably an error on my part. Got new ones based on the new mc3 leak coming so hang in there. .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcasas6969:
I was able to get the toggle in camera settings by changing the xml file and also changing permissions to rw-r-r. I can now turn shutter on or off. I'm on the mc3 update rooted
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hansdg1:
I've tried this but I can't get it to work. Has anyone else with MC3 been able to get it to work?

EDIT: Well I ended up getting it to work finally. It could be one of two things.

First I went to build.prop and added a line (because mine didn't have it already) . (source: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-galaxy-s-iii-rooting-roms-hacks/189791-how-turn-off-your-shutter-sound-2-minutes-4.html#post2664828

Second it might have been that I was just stupid and forgot to switch from the camcorder settings to the camera settings. (There is no 'Shutter Sound' option in the camcorder settings)

I just signed up for this forum so that I can say thanks to billard412. After wasting an hour trying 3rd party camera apps that all still clicked, I found this thread and I used the small .exe for my mb1 and it worked perfectly in minutes. Good stuff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spyder1979:
I had ran the 16gb _L710_CAM_TOGGLE ODIN one-click you posted when I was on MB1 and it work flawlessly. However I had a problem where I had to do a factory reset and then my SG3 upgraded to MD4. I was wondering if the 16gb _L710_CAM_TOGGLE ODIN one-click you posted for MB1 would work even with the upgrade or is there another one click that will do the job with the MD4 upgrade?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmark27:
Won't work as far as I know. Waiting for an updated Odin. Billard will get to it at some point.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] droyal:
If rooted just go to system/media/audio/ui and delete the shutter sound.ogg file. I did it today myself using Root Explorer and it works just fine after a reboot. Remember to do a back up just in case

For all those following this thread that want a silent camera on MD4, A) Billard is working on it, but B) you can try this and it worked for me (thanks for the help BILLARD): EDIT: I DID THIS ON A 16GB MODEL WITHOUT ISSUE

#1. Download both the CAM TOGGLE FOR MB1 and then also SPH-L710_MD4_1130792_Modem from here

#2. Flash the Cam Toggle first through ODIN. After reboot, you will not have any sounds (anywhere) and you will also have no Cell Signal. OH NOES!

#3. Go back into ODIN and flash the MODEM you downloaded. You can use any modem you want. You can use the EXE files like I have directed above, or you can use modem.bin in the PDA slot of ODIN. Eitherway works and I tested both ways.

#4. after reboot, you should be all set. Sounds and Signal will be back. The Camera Shutter Toggle will be there, you can use the Camera on a phone call as well. Finally, the counter will not be tripped, your phone won't be rooted and the device status still says "Normal".

Win, win, win, all around. Obviously, if any of this fails for you, you might want to download the STOCK_NODATA from that SXTP link above for backup. You can always flash that and get everything back to normal without futzing up your data and setups.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Thanks mmark27 for covering that. Happy to announce(sry for the delay), MD4 is UP!

I just did the one click for the shutter toggle on my 16gb SGS3. Worked perfectly, thanks again Billard412. Great work once again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikesDroid:
To disable shutter sound you can edit /system/csc/feature.xml and change CscFeature_Camera_shuttersoundmenu from "false" to "true. Reboot after and you will see the feature in the settings menu in your camera :D

You also need to edit the build.prop forced shutter sound line from 1 to 0 or even with the toggle switched to "off" the sound still plays.

Negative. It still works by just enabling the toggle. Speaking from personal experience on 100% stock rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Not on mine. That's how I found that stupid forced audio line in build.prop. It overrides the camera toggle setting, for a long time I just kept commenting out the ogg files then found that stupid line in build.prop and bingo toggle started working.

I have found between the s2 s3 and n2 that the extra line in the build.prop is dependent on the build. Some builds have it others dont. The newest md4 build for the s3 does not have it. Same with the current gb27 build for the s2. It doesnt have it. Whereas the newest n2 build DOES have that stupid line in it but most of the older builds didnt
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Ahh that would be why. All the builds I've used the toggle on had it. I actually hadn't seen a build without it yet, didn't even know someone was nice enough to remove that garbage. They snuck that crap in there and it took me forever to figure out that's why my toggle wasn't doing crap when I switched it.

I used to use a 3rd party camera app before my note 2, so didn't need to add the toggle. Now the note 2 does everything the 3rd party apps I used did plus some. The only thing it's missing is photosphere but I keep the hacked 4.2 camera installed for when I wanna use that. I used to use FV-5 Camera Pro or Camera Advanced Pro for the longest time cuz all the stock cameras were lax on features.

Lmao my thoughts exactly. Sprint acts like(on the sprint.com community forums) they are so generous because they give u the opportunity to root and disable it. But then sneek crap like this in it. Guess we got a friend at Sammy/sprint somewhere who leaves it out to make it easier lol xD
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Sprint's reasoning for even excluding the toggle was ridiculous. They quoted a law that never passed, and even if it had passed the sound only had to be able to be turned on in public it didn't have to be forced. Same with the state laws that were passed, it only has to be enabled in public, not private or not private events in public places. Someone in Sprint's legal department seems to have reading comprehension problems, or power of control issues. :thumbdown: I mean if I really wanted to spy on someone I wouldn't use my GPS enabled cellphone and camera. I'd just go spend a cpl hundred dollars on a good quality pen camera and no one would ever know I could even take pics with it. For ~$250 you can buy a fully functional Mont Blanc knockoff with 32gb storage and an 8mp 0 shutterlag video/still camera with click to connect bluetooth sharing on the spy gear sites. We use them for work in our SIU department when investigating fraud since the party under investigation won't even know their being recorded or photographed.
