It stops the camera sound on my VZ Note 3 4.4.2 NC4. But even after exiting the camera app, all categories of sound are muted. And if I go to Settings -> Sound -> Volume to restore them (Music, Ringtone, Noticifcations, and System), as soon as I hit the Home button to back out of Settings, it re-mutes everything again. So there's something wrong here.

What I really don't get is why deleting the .ogg files that contain the camera sounds (in /system/media/audio/ui/ ) does not work. I used that trick on my S3 and Note 2 and it worked fine there. But even renaming camera_click.ogg, and Camera_click_short.ogg on the Note 3 has no effect. You still get the shutter sound. Apparently, the N3 ignores those files.

So where the heck is the camera finding the files to play??? I poked around in /data/data/com.sec.android.app.camera/ but didn't see anything obvious. The app itself is in /system/app/SamsungCamera2.apk. This is really starting to annoy me. There's got to be a pony in here somewhere!

[time passes...]

UPDATE

OK, I think I found the pony. If you unzip the apk, you will find all the camera sound ogg files in res/raw. That directory is full of .ogg files. So I'll bet if one could replace those files with silent files and recompile the apk, that would fix this irritation once and for all. Any thoughts on that?
[Android Apps and Games] Michele31415:
Hmm - even though I turned the app off and then uninstalled it, I'm now getting some serious CPU drainage. I notice a process called IndexService is running constantly and using between 50% and 80% of the CPU. What's that all about? I used to have excellent battery life. Now it's draining fast.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
if you uninstalled it then it shouldnt affect your battery life.

your battery drain is not the cause of Camera Mute. Camera Mute is just a set of rules implemented using Tasker.
[Android Apps and Games] Michele31415:
Thanks - apparently this was just a coincidence. Yesterday I also downloaded a large number of photos onto the SD card from my PC. TUrns out IndexService has something to do with S-Suggest. Since I never use the latter, I figured I didn't need the former. I just froze both of those and the battery drain problem was solved.

But now I'm wondering if I understand Camera Mute correctly. It mutes the camera alright, but it mutes everything else too even after I exit the camera app. And whenever I try to re-enable the volume, it gets disabled again as soon as I exit Settings. Am I supposed to open the Camera Mute app again and turn it off every time I'm done taking pictures?
[Android Apps and Games] Michele31415:
It occurs to me that perhaps the simplest solution to this problem would be to just use the camera app from the Note 2 in the Note 3. I'm wondering if that will cause any problems though. They both have the same display name, "Camera" and the same package name - com.sec.android.app.camera, but the N2 version's apk is called SamsungCamera while the N3's is called SamsungCamera2. The N2's camera can be silenced by renaming its sound files, while the N3's cannot.

Also, these apps live in /system/app/ rather than /data/app/.

So the question is, will it work if I just install SamsungCamera.apk from the Note 2 on the Note 3, or will I break something important? Or should I just start a new thread?
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Camera Mute is not a 100% solution, but it works on some phones.

You dont have to re-enable the volume. But you do have to click "Set Default Volume Levels" first before using Camera Mute.

Set Default Volume Levels reads your existing volume settings so that after you exit Camera Mute it restores your original volume levels (smart right?)

Anyways, I haven't updated the app for a while because the program got deleted when my phone crashed.

I have to re-write the whole app again in order to improve it..

anyways it might be a while since im still working on updating my other app, Auto Data
[Android Apps and Games] Michele31415:
Ah ha. Indeed, I had not done any "Set Defaults" and they were all zero. I changed them to my usual settings and enabled the app.

I think the confusion came in because if you do Settings -> Sound -> Volume, all four sliders (Music, Ringtone, Notications, and System) show zero. But if you do Volume up -> Gear icon, you see the four sliders there (Ringtone, Media, Notifications, System) are in fact set correctly. Which makes me wonder what the sliders in the Settings panel do. Go figure.

In any case, it looks like the Camera Mute app does work after all. I still don't know why renaming the sound files in system/media/audio/ui/ doesn't work.

Works but it keeps the sound off for the phone even when it's disabled.

I have verizon Galaxy s4. SCH-1545 running Android 4.4.2. I have the developer options enabled.

It does the mute job, but if it's enabled it turns the sound off for the entire phone. And when I disable it, I have to manually change the volumes from setting > my device > sound >volumes.

The affected settings are music, video games and pother media, and system volumes. They're completely off. Ring tones and notification volumes are unaffected.

Can you help me out on how to restore the volume automatically after disabling the app?

Does not work on Galaxy Grand Neo GT-9060

Hi Glen,

Sorry to chill the atmosphere, but the app does not work on my Galaxy Grand Neo (GT-I9060), which seems to be one of the hardest devices to mute (and to root) :(

I tried everything, changed every parameter, switched my phone from Sound to Mute (and vice versa), tried the Stock Camera app but also others (including Camera ZOOM FX, Silent Camera...), the sound is still there.

So far, only "Silent Camera" (a basic camera app) seems to mute my device.

Any idea to make Camera Mute to work on this model?

Thanks!

Thank you for your reaction. Unfortunately that didn't help me, but I finally found a working way to silence my shutter sound. In case anyone wanted to know:

- Root your device

- Use Root Explorer (or an app like that)

- Go to system/csc

- Make sure you can edit the file (read write and not read only - Root Explorer can fix the permissions for you for this file)

- Open customer.xml

- Edit customer.xml

- Search till you find:

<Multimedia>

<Camera>

<Quality>high</Quality>

<ShutterSound>on</ShutterSound>

</Camera>

</Multimedia>

- Change "on" to "off"

- Save customer.xml

- Reboot phone

- Now in vibrate or silent mode you wont hear the shutter sound

Thanks, this is working on my Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE SM-G313F.

Few suggestions: I would like the app to remember the sound settings (volume levels) before the camera was started. Now your app mutes the phone while the camera app is active, but then returns to preset volume levels, not to those used before taking a photo. Also, if I had the phone set in mute in the first place, then after taking a photo the phone resumes to loud settings.

Are you root and have you got a custom recovery installed?

If you are you might want to drain your battery, then charge it fully; to remove your battery stats (in CWM). That might help.

If its just your charger not charging your phone, that might indicate that youre charger isnt working, have you got another usb cable? try charging it while its connected to the pc to make sure the AC adapter itsself isnt broken.

"Flashing to Straight Talk" can vary, depending on how you want to go about it... Straight Talk has two types of service, CDMA and GSM, both of which will work on the Rezound to a varying degree.

The CDMA mode is as [MENTION=2479397]mjones73[/MENTION] mentioned, and it required a donor phone to clone the ESN/MEID from to be activated. This will use Verizon service in 3G mode, which is kind of slow (about 600kbps in my area at best) but it will work. The practice of ESN cloning is... umm... questionable though technically possible.

The GSM mode requires a stockish global mode ROM, and a T-Mobile or AT&T SIM card from Straight Talk... Voice and SMS will work out of the box, MMS and data require a little tweaking. There are a few guides out there but [MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION] is working on a guide to get AT&T 4G on the Rezound... yes, I said 4G! I believe he also has/had 3G working on T-Mobile service with Straight Talk as well. Be patient, those guides will be coming soon, I know he is working on them and they should be ready soon.

4G/LTE may be possible on an StraightTalk AT&T SIM, [MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION] keeps saying he has it working and will be putting out this step-by-step guide, but so far it seems just like a vaporous apparition. :p
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:

to answer all the confusion....the htc vigor (rezound) has all the bands to support it...they are just locked by default in the nv....its alot of hex coding and as i do get 4g i also noticed a few errors....like it confusing certain roms to default and do a weird lock and defaults back to cdma only after a few hours of usage on 4g....the reason for its delay on release is kitkat development

As far as gsm goes I didn't even hafta do anything I just popped in my sim card to stock and I could do calls texts yes both sending and receiving (but this is on T-Mobile gsm which should be similar) I haven't found a ROM yet (I'm on PAC man right now) that I can't get everything working on it without too much trouble (I don't have a data plan but I can get MMS to work which works through data)

[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
no the highest you will get currently is 3g....however i am working on the NV edits (which is required to even get the 3g in the first place) to get full 4g which is only obtainable via the att micro sim and micro sim to normal sim adapter....also you will have to edit the apn settings to get data....same would go if you were to flash it....which just getting a sim is cheaper

Is it illegal to flash the Rezound, or any Verizon phone for that matter, to straight talk?

sent from HTC One M8
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
No... why would you think that?

Now, if you do something like cloning a MEID/IMEI number, that might fall into a different category, but "flashing" a Rezound to Straight Talk (or most other carrier) involves little more then enabling some of the features and changing a few settings in the phone that are hidden, disabled, or limited by the default carrier.
[HTC Rezound] Uncleheff:
I think part of the steps to flash the Rezound to get 3g coverage is to have a donor phone and clone it. So you're saying the cloning part would be illegal? What if you own the donor phone and the Rezound outright?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
So, you mean move it to Straight Talk CDMA service, not GSM? Different ballgame... ESN/MEID cloning for fraudulent purposes is clearly illegal, doing it yourself for devices you own is a very grey area, the law isn't as cut and dry, if you Google the question of ESN cloning you will find widely varied answers but nothing cut and dry.

I know people who have done it successfully for exactly the purpose and situation you describe and haven't had an issue, but at the same time if Straight Talk/PagePlus or whoever decided to push it, they could say you are performing fraud and possibly violating their terms of service as well since the device ESN is not just a radio identifier, it also is assigned by the manufacturer and registered with a specific device and specific capabilities.

All in all, its your call...no where have I seen this discussion come a black and white answer.

The difference with using SIMs between devices and ESN swapping is clear though and ruled not illegal as the capabilities and service are tied to the SIM and not the not the device itself, as although carriers may require the devices IMEI number for provisioning their services and prevention of fraudulent activities.
[HTC Rezound] Uncleheff:
I have a friend that wants me to help them get a Verizon phone working on straight talk and I want to make sure I'm not about to unknowingly do something illegal. That's why all the questions. Thanks for the help. Next question.....if the phone has gsm settings they could just switch to that for service and everything is legal? Also what kind of data speeds can be expected? 2g, 3g, or 4g (yea right!!!)?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
As I said, the legality is questionable... Its not black and white.

The Rezound is a Global Phone and has GSM capabilities to an extent... 2G/Edge is possible on all US GSM carriers, 3G/HSPA is possible on AT&T based networks with a compatible ROM. 4G/HSPA+ is marginally possible with a LOT of modding, [MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION] is kind of the master here on that. 4G/LTE is not possible on any non-VZW carrier.

That being said, the Rezound's GSM radios are not tuned for US carriers, so signal strength and data performance suffer.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
its lega las the rezound comes even with stock latest update with unlocked gsm capabilities...you just have to make certain edits to get the 3g to work...i used an att based sim for straight talk and was able to get really good 3g with the proper modifications to build.prop, ril, and nv edits
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
When I said the legality is questionable, I meant using ESN/MEID cloning to switch it to another CDMA carrier.

GSM SIM swapping between phones is completely legal, and done often.
[HTC Rezound] Uncleheff:
How complicated are theses edits? I have no experience with doing build. My experience is strictly with rooting. I've rooted 2 Rezounds, a droid x2, LG Lucid, and my Nexus 7 (2012). Custom roms on the Nexus 7 and Rezound plus the Rezound is s-off.
