[Galaxy S 5 General] Hippie459MN:
Well, I can tell you this worked perfect in MM 6.0.1. There is no features.xml file but was added to the others.xml file and worked perfect! The shutter sound was really loud in MM. :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] yogesh.kalyana:

wow this is a developer website forum and this is what i find !

even for a simple thing you guys start coding

if you want to disable shutter sound just simply turn the phone to silent mode

and no shutter sound

you guys deserve a blast
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hippie459MN:
Why when I can just add that line of code, taking all of 2 minutes, and then just turn the shutter sound off completely and not have to turn my volume up and down all the time and put my whole phone into silent mode just to take a picture? And also have the option in the setting to turn it back on it I so choose too. If you dont like it and would rather do it another way, no need to make fun of people for not doing it your way. Just move along and do your own thing.
[Galaxy S 5 General] yogesh.kalyana:
yeah add a line of code and add line a extra work i am not blaming anymore for being extra smart or extra stupid , i know i am not a crackpot trying to showoff here but when there is an easily available solution that could be achieved without extra struggle and not utilizing it is kind of exemplary on how a person wants to be .therefore i dont know why this thread was created thats all

Mute Camera Pro

Hi,

I have a rooted SM-G906k and followed ALL instructions exactly but to no avail, the shutter option appears in the menu but I couldn't toggle it to (off), it just stayed (on).

It appeared that I can't disable the shutter sound because my phone is a Korean model which shutter sound can't be disabled, but I found an application in Google Store that solved the problem and it really disabled the shutter sound even without having to modify (others.xml).

Just install (Mute Camera Pro), and click (Per App), then click (Choose app to mute, and select the camera from list. Now whenever you open your camera, the shutter sound will be muted automatically.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikebzh44:
Hello.

I'm running Android 4.4.4 and I'm wondering if using developper's options to switch from Dalvik to ART for the engine is a good idea.

Is it risky ? Shall I lost my data and / or apps ? Or it shall be transparent and my apps will just take some extra time to load at first execution (time for ART to compile app) ?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisbo4:
As long as your ROM supports it, you shouldn't have any problems. Switching to ART will not wipe your app data.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mademos:
It will take some space. Mine was about 600 but don't take my word for it. First boot will indeed take some time.

Last negative: Not all apps work on ART. Check Play Store description for compatibility. If nothing is noted, it's generally a hit and miss (with more miss the older an app gets)

But

For those apps that do work (and app compatibility has greatly increased since the runtime was introduced), ART is much, much better than dalvik in every measurable aspect.

I've even heard it can make pancakes, and from what I've seen myself, I can't really reject the notion outright.

If, however, you were unfortunate enough to pick the 8 GB model (I did, and I still have night terrors about it), you may wish to forego ART since every bit and byte count..

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] CJNYC:
Good morning!

Over the last week, the battery life on my JASJAM has become totally miserable. I'm just barely getting over the 12-hour mark most days, and this is with very little use, mostly just receiving emails on my desk while I'm sitting at work. The only programs running are ActiveSync and Outlook, as I use Microsoft Direct-Push with my company's Exchange server. I am always connected to 3G in New York City.

Now, this might be due to the usual crappy Cingular 3G issues in New York City. Before this ROM upgrade, in some parts of the city, my phone would constantly turn on as the network was creating some wacky reactions with the phone. Since going to the Cingular-inspired radio ROM, the screen stays off but I have no idea what's going on behind the scenes.

Anyway, do you think my battery problems are ROM related, network related or something else? BTW, I've tried two different batteries and they've both had similar run-down characteristics.

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sphings:
Mine was last loaded 3 days ago and has more than 60% left.

But i've used the phone just some times and only 4 or 45 phone calls.

And NO UMTS!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] hollywood:
This is a problem that I have talked about before on other forums. Using 3G on the tytn will shorten your battery life about half compared to using edge. I dont use my tytn for much (a few calls, msn for chatting and email and some browsing) and I can't get more than 10 hours on a charge. When I change it to edge I can get over 24 hours.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] CJNYC:
Hollywood...

Believe me, I feel your pain. I'm using an extended 1500mah battery right now (which doesn't quite fit perfectly but close enough) and I think it should be good for about 17 hours according to the current calculation with UMTS always connected. That's enough to get me through 1 day, but it's pushing it. Do you think the next HTC rom might show improvements in battery life?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
hey CNJYC, slightly OT but did you get the Seidio battery or the one from Lionbattery.com?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] CJNYC:
Sleuth255...

I have the Mugen 1500mah version from Lionbattery.com. It is every so slightly thick which causes the battery cover to bow out maybe a millimeter or two in the middle, really not much at all. I will not go with anything larger that requires a new battery cover, as this defeats the purpose of such a nice, small device. Instead, I carry a spare or two when I'm traveling. Do you know anything about the Seidio battery?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
Yeah, it has the same problem. I have a Seidio. I was wondering if the Lion battery fit a bit better.

After ur post and continious using of 1.16 radio on mu HTC TyTN for a week now i also feeling that the radio seems drain battry fast....the situation is that i generelly receive/made 10-15 call a day of total 1 hour or so duration....30-40 min of game play and may be more less 10-20 min of chatting and browsing in my tytn and i can get upto 2 days easily with 20-30 % of battry life left in gsm 900 mode ooo and always pushmail activated and of avarage 8-10 e-mail receiving and sending...

but after 1.16 radio i thnk i can go upto 1.5 days with same battry left and the senerio is the same regerding my usage pattern....and most of all before that the battry used to discharged 10% overnight at maximum when i was sleeping with 2-3 mail receiving through pushmail and of course no other use...but now it seems im loosing 20% on same time period...

i think i need to do some more testing regarding this battry life probs...any other feedback is really wanted...

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] CJNYC:
Sajib...

Thanks for your posting. The 25% reduction since going to the 1.16 ROM that you reported is basically exactly the reduction I'm seeing here on 3G in NYC. Everything else about the ROM is better, especially how it handles weak signals and not forcing the screen on, but if I can't get a full day out of it I will probably downgrade. I'm just holding out for a new HTC ROM, but I'm not sure I can wait any longer.

Any other experiences with the 1.16 Radio ROM?

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] nelsonlye:
I have some problem... Dunno is because of 1.16 Radio ROM or my application. But i did Hard Reset & Install bk the Application that i use previously. The problem still same...

Let say i didn't touch my phone (Button) for about 30min and more. The phone will like go to Searching Mode.....wat i did is turn to FLIGHT MODE, then OFF the FLIGHT MODE. Then the phone only will get the service provider. After that it's ok. ...

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingrion88:
If any developer that I know of from Xperia Z, it will definitely be [MENTION=3911109]pabx[/MENTION] first to release Android L.

He was the first to bring KitKat over to Z in just a matter of days. In fact, it was not with some unusable build either. A full usable rom for daily driver.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navin2max:
Android L = Awesome Xperia Z !

Yes..!!!:good::good:

I totally agree with Android L being ported to Xperia Z....!!! It's much better than any software till now...

Here are the reasons;

Key Features:

Improved Notifications

Project Volta: Improved Battery Life (Needed for Xperia Z, due to battery drain issue in Kit Kat)

Google Fit...Competition for Apple's Healthkit

Better Web Integration

Runs on ART extension , (support for 64bit systems), (Dalvik is being ditched).

Since RAM usage will be less, and apps usage and loading time will be faster...

So lets wait for CM, PAC, Carbon...or some other developer till then...

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
I don't expect Sony to update Xperia Z to 5.0 - we will probably hear "you already received 3 updates, that's it folks".

IMO it shouldn't be about how many versions you receive - it should be about a timeframe. If your phone doesn't receive updates after 1,5 years, then maybe you should stop making new phones every 6 months if you can't manage to update them - and look at other companies like HTC, Samsung ( yes... ) or perhaps Apple who offers iOS8 to a 4,5 years old iPhone 4S.

Does my post sound like I'm angry with Sony ? Good, because I am...

KitKat was a disappointment. Been waiting almost a year and received nearly no new features apart from UI redesign which doesn't really matter to me anyway and tons of bugs, battery woes etc. To be honest - every single release had some kind of problems, especially with battery life...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerickjohn:
KitKat's battery drain was not Sony's fault however. It was Google and Google Services, as with a previous version I cannot recall. Those kind of things are out of their reach since it varies from phone to phone with its version. I do agree however that there are some "kinks" that need to be remedied. I cannot understand why they refuse to unify most builds so they run similar applications. Like for example the stock KitKat apps (like Messaging and Settings) on my Z are totally different from Z2's stock apps running KitKat

Do it! you think that somebody of us will beg you to stop? or sony CEO will appear and give you android 100?

Just stop complaining kid, if you have enought money for an other phone just to have a better toy to play with, feel free and buy it, we don't care. And in 6 months you will complain again for a new update that roll out, and with a new Brand that won't provide it to you.

I bought xperia Z because I was fine on how it was, it had everything i needed and I liked it. Why you bought it if you have to cry? Or yo mean it was good until something new came out? that is so illogical. stop looking to the neighbour's grass and just be happy whit what you have.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
Maybe it is all on purpose. Bugs, bugs and bugs but redesign UI and everybody is happy at the moment they upgrade it's firmware. And than, bitterness strike.

Maybe Sony wanna make XZ more and more buggy so it's users can look forward to Z2 or Z3, because XZ is still very capable of doing practically anything and is still strong and better phone than most 2014 mid-rangers and all Xperia non-Z models.

Yesterday I compared for couple of hours Z2 on 4.4.2 with my XZ 4.4.2. UI Smoothness is basically the same. WiFi/3G surfing the same, talk quality the same. Photo and 1080 video quality has very small improvement on XZ2. OK, sound quality, battery and screen are way better, but for common users like me, transition to XZ2 is freaking waste of money, except for battery duration. I switched in May 2013 form HTC Desire to Xperia Z and that cost me 100 EUR. Now, July 2014, transition form XZ to XZ2 would cost me 250 EUR. For what? Better AnTuTu benchmark score :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joejoe23:
Then you should get the g3 ? I think the g3 is a better upgrade than the z2 . Different ui , higher res , bigger screen but smaller size than the z2 . Getting a z2 or z1 for upgrade is like getting a slightly bigger screen size with more power .
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zed011:
... how was that a complaint? I am simply stating I am selling it if they announce the exclusion in their update roadmap. How you come up with all these impressions of me being a whiner is beyond me. I do have money to buy any phone really but I don't mind keeping the Z a little longer.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deniel:
Was that relevant for the topic? just do it. it's full of people complaining. if Android L wasn't going to come out, you think your phone was horrible? if yes, why people bought it? if no, why the hell you want android L?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zed011:
Why wouldn't anyone not want android L? It's a major speed improvement with ART and the Z while it is a good phone is not a speed demon. You can't help but realize people are curious to see how fast this thing would be with L. Can you blame people for wanting ART since no Sony device has ART right now? I don't think so. You sound rather defensive of Sony to be honest. However, if Samsung updates S4 to Android L (It's likely they will) then there is merit in noting Sony's decisions seeing how both devices came out around the same time with the Z being 2-3 months earlier.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deniel:
So for curiosity you sell a phone and buy a new one. wow.

And once again, if your phone is fine like this, why sell it? This is consumism and a bit being spoiled, only because somebody else got a"better one".

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Damn. Stop arguing about this guys.

Aren't we all here in the first place because we like the latest tech or the latest software for our devices?

If anyone wants to sell a device that's now a couple of generations behind to ensure that they get the latest version of Android, then that's their business. It's not like the phone only released 3 months ago. The support from Sony has been great, but there's nothing wrong with moving on if that support stops.

Better to actually take action if you're not happy than just sit here whining about Sony like some people do. ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoxx3m:
You're absolutley right man. We got several updates for our phone and that's great. We cannot expect lifetime support from Sony, they have their own policy and that's it. If somebody wants move on better device good luck, It's their own decision. :good:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDroid8:
I don't think the Z will get Android L, or 5.0 or whatever you want to call it. We'll have Cyanogenmod and other ROMs but not official ones from Sony - I wonder what their plan will be, seeing as the stock Android look seems quite integral to the experience now. Will OEM skins be as prevalent after this? I know Google hates them.

Regardless, I think we've been quite lucky with updates. We started on 4.1.2 or something right? Late to the party for all the update but we got them anyway... And they've been almost completely bug free, for me anyway.

How have comparable phones like the One M7 been with updates? Do they have tools like flashtool and stuff available to them, along with the multitude of cross-dev stuff? My cousin has an M7 and only got his KitKat update relatively recently.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
And was any of your posts ( calling somebody a kid just because you doesn't agree with his reasons etc. ) actually relevant to the topic ? Not really.

Why the hell does he want Android L ? Maybe because all major KitKat releases for Xperia Z are ridden with bugs ? Maybe because of the new, attractive features and interface that even older devices will get ? There's plenty of reasons to want an update, and you know it - otherwise you wouldn't be here - on software development oriented website...

Honestly, it's really hard not to notice this trend of immediately attacking and silencing anyone who dares not to be happy with any, even slightest detail about their device...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeroed:
Sadly guys, this is how it goes, We won't get any L (if we get any at all), before the next flagship device Sony produces. Sad but true. God bless AOSP. They should atleast make the kernel and drivers available if that lazy to do for the system itself. Take an example: we did not get the 4.4.2 before the Z2 came out. Their marketing stuff is really pissing me off. Bring the hardware, or the software. You cant do both Sony. Exclusive to the new flagship policy sux. Plus it took them 8 months to release that sluggish half baked 4.4.2 update. It will take 'em the same time to release L if they ever release it for our device. So i don't even think we will see it official from Sony. But yeah, no bad feelings, just learn your lesson next time when you buy. What stops them from releasing 4.4.4 for our XZ? Nothing, exept they dont earn money for it. We already bought the device. With or without updates, they have our money right? They don't care.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X10_minipro:
Not only commenting to you, but to all who only complains.

Do you even know what a happy customer means for a company? Do you seriously think they are like: "Hey, all these people both are devices so let's just f*ck them over and just hope that they'll choose us again next time."

A happy customer is a good customer, and I'm pretty sure that Sony both agrees and strives to get happy customers.
