[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Ok not sure if it will work, can you try to restart our phone or maybe download a new copy? Maybe it got corrupted?

I haven't heard anyone report this yet.

From what i know it will only say not installed due to the following reasons

1) Its already installed

2) Its already installed in ROM

3) Conflict with package name (although I doubt this)

4) Corrupt APK file

5) No permission to install APK files.

[Android Apps and Games] xyltha:
very strange. I had to roll back to a restore and the app no longer works on my LG G2 at&t rooted with twrp and a modified Korean base Rom. I can absolutely guarantee it was silent at first because I tested it in the condition where I needed it to be silent and it was and no other method of silencing it would work.

No idea why restoring from a backup, that had your app installed already, would cause the app to break. I will uninstall and reinstall to see if that makes any difference, then I will do the "fix" you mention. Sorry about the earlier post and that it was, for whatever reason not reliable.

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Ok, this is what likely happened. The shutter is silent when the phone is in silent mode whether your app is enabled or not. So when I tested the app before I must have had the phone on silent mode and assumed that silent mode wouldn't keep the shutter sound silent. Then an hour ago when I needed it to be silent I had the volume on but the app active and it had no effect and the sound triggered.

While it is possible that the app did work prior to my restore as mentioned in the previous post of mine, I can't guarantee anything about the app working on the LG G2 at&t.

Lastly, putting the phone into silent mode, at least on the modified stock Rom I'm using, will turn off the shutter sound. YMMV. Sorry about the confusion.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
If you can send me the APK file of the LG G2's stock camera I will update the app for compatibility. Instructions on how to send me the file is on the 1st post.

Update: 11/03/2013

New version will be out soon. I can't do anything about the beep sound when your phone unmutes, however I can delay it. I have updated the program (soon to be released) now it has a counter. You will have the option to change the seconds on when the phone unmutes. Its the only workaround I can think of right now. Would anyone be interested in that feature? Example I have the counter set to 5seconds, so after you exit the camera app, it will take 5 seconds before you will hear that beep sound.

[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
new version 1.4 is posted on the OP.

I added the option to delay the sound (small beep) when you exit the camera application.

Small Beep is the default sound that android makes when you enable / disable sound.

I know its not a complete fix but yea it should work.

You can now delay the sound, the numbers are in seconds. Maximum is 600 seconds (10mins).

Please note, if you delay the sound, your phone will be in mute, not only media volume but also system volume.

I did this because Lenovo phones uses system volume, while Samsung phones uses media volume for the camera shutter sound.

Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Does anyone have a preferred Camera Application that they want to mute? So far I've tried a few camera apps on the playstore that doesn't have mute option and I can get some of them to work with Camera Mute.

Sent from my SM-N9005 with Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
okay here's a quick update on LG G2.

It seems that LG has modified the their ROM that removes the ability to silent the camera shutter.

Upon further testing it seems that if you disable the system sounds, ringer sounds, media sounds or silent the phone, shutter sound will still exist.

So unless your unit silents the camera shutter when you silent the system sounds then there is no way Camera Mute can mute your shutter sound.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Hi, after checking up on this, Tasker does require google framework service.

So unless you can get google framework service on your phone then you wont be able to install Camera Mute or any of Tasker's KID apps.

bug report

Hi,

The app works on my N9005 and I have noticed something. I have touch sounds off. When I exit from the camera app, the touch sound is turned on. I then turned off touch sounds, went to camera app (stock), exit and the touch sound is on again. Tried a few times with the same result.

Hope you can look into it. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Hi, thanks for your reply. If you mean the small beeping sound that you hear when you exit the camera then yes, there is a sound that you will hear. Its not a bug but its a known issue.

As posted on the the 1st post..

I am working on a new version and im still testing it. around 80% of the time the sound no longer plays, im still trying to figure out why there's a remaining 20%.
[Android Apps and Games] dax51:
Hi,

Its not the small beeping sound when exiting the camera. Its the sound that is played whenever you touch the screen. It is the check box under Settings -> Sound -> Touch sounds. I have it off but it is turned on whenever I exit the camera.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Oh right.

Can you try going to "Set Default Volume Levels".

You should see 4 slide bars. Try setting the system volume to 0. See if that fixes it.
[Android Apps and Games] dax51:
Tried but did not work. Set system volume to 0, opened and closed camera app. System volume is turned on (not 0 any more). Strange that it did not work... I expected it to solve the issue. Do you encounter this on your note 3?

Still a nice app as it does mute the camera sound. You might want to look into the issue if you have the time.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Oh okay. I know the problem already. It will be fixed next update.

[Android Apps and Games] ph000:
Yes. I tried various methods of muing sounds. The shutter sound is there with all of them.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Then it seems that your unit is the same with units from France.

Camera Mute depends on Ringertone (for Samsung). If the ringer is off, the camer sound is off.

However, the units from France seems to ignore these rules.

My theory is that, France doesn't permit shutters to be muted so probably Samsung modified the camera app.

other silent camera apps...

Hi Glen,

Thanks for your hard work on this app.

But unfortunately, it is not working on some LG G2... (mine is one of them)

I am not sure about your statement, "It seems that LG has modified the their ROM that removes the ability to silent the camera shutter. "

because other silent camera apps on the play store are working well on my G2.

Just like these apps below...

High-Speed camera

Silent Camera

I would like to send to you my camera.apk and screenshot but because of the limitation of email app,

I couldn't send it... (I will try again..)

I'm hoping that your app will work with our G2 someday...
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Its not the same. Those are 3rd party programs that uses their own camera software. For short, they made their own camera software.

Camera Mute uses the same stock camera. It just mutes your phone in order to silent the shutter sound.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Posted the update today that should fix this problem
[Android Apps and Games] g.b.a.:
Yes I know... Thanks for clarification...

I just hope that there's still a way for this app to work on LG G2...
[Android Apps and Games] blanco360:
Installed today on my N9005, however it has a problem in the fact that it keeps muting other applications too. I can't nail down exactly what causes it, as it seems to be random - but it is taking the system volume down to 0 for no apparent reason...

Also a few suggestions:

If the phone is already in silent mode when the camera is run, your app will put it back into normal mode after - it should leave it as silent.

Default volumes - why does it need this? Can't it just toggle the silent on/off? What if I changed the volume but didn't update the defaults, which will it change back to?

I've had to disable it for now, but I hope an update will sort it - as it really is very useful :) Great work!
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
It will mute your other applications as well since it mutes your phone when you are inside the camera application.

If you exit the camera application it should restore all your volume.

Default volumes, be sure to set them.

For example, if you have your ringer volume to 10%, when you go inside your camera application it will make it to 0%, if you exit camera application it should restore it to 10%. If you dont set it, it will set it to another value, I cant remember which value I set it to (LOL).. I think 50%

Basically in layman terms, default volumes are the volume settings of your phone prior to using Camera Mute.

Its just a way for Camera Mute to store and remember your volume settings so that it can restore them. (smart right? :good:)
[Android Apps and Games] yyz123:
The only possible way is to root the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] blanco360:
Sorry, what I mean is, it's muting the phone not when I'm using the camera, but other apps! Randomly in Play store for example.

With volumes, I use different volumes at different times, so there is no default. My suggestion is to die the current volumes before it mutes, then just to restore back to then after :)

[Android Apps and Games] cj182:
It works on Nexus 5 - But it is also activate when opening "Settings"! So if im going to settings, it mutes the sound and restore it to the default volume that was saved. The problem is: When the phone is silenced and I just change something in the settings and I go back, it restores the volume to default!

Maybe it has something to do with android 4.4?

I'm using Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 and it works ... camera mutes when the default camera app is launched and when exit, the sound comes back on. However there's 2 problem:

2) After it mutes and come back on, the "ringtone" comes back on but the "media" sound does not. It remains muted.

Is there a way to confirm that the app has loaded?

It certainly doesn't seem to have silenced the camera shutter sound
