I was just wondering for anyone using this phone. How can I disable the sound on my camera when taking a picture? It makes a shutter sound and it's annoying. I can't find it in sounds and notifications. The video option does the same, except it makes a beep type sound the moment I press record, then everyone knows I'm recording lol. I'd prefer to just turn those sounds off somehow.
If I put my phone on silent mode, it still makes those sounds when using the camera.
Anyone have any ideas how to turn them off, or if it will be ok to delete the .wav file or whatever type it is? I don't know where that will be though.
Windows Mobile 6.0 if that helps.
Thanks.

I thought I had seen this discussed but can't find it.
When my phone rings the volume starts out low then increaes, is there a way to disable this and have it start at full volume?
I think it is melody? I believe that is the type of ring it is.
Huh?
It doesn't matter what I set the ringtone to. All the ringtones do the same thing for me

I'd be interested in a fix for this also. I've done a little searching, but haven't been able to find anything other than it being related to a bug on other phones with a "quiet ring on pick-up" (or something like that) setting, which this phone doesn't seem to have...
Basically, the phone rings quietly for about a second at first then quickly jumps to a louder volume.
Yes I have this as well. It does not serve any useful function since you couldn't possibly answer before it gets loud.
I'm new to the android OS , so I'm going slow on tweaks but I had the same problem on a previous WinMo phone , the Samsung Omnia II and it drove me crazy. Eventually someone found out all you had to do was edit the registry and change a key from initial ring volume from 3 to 5 and it worked. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in the captivates db's there's a equivalent setting . Hope this helps and I'll post if I find the setting.
I hate this feature as well and want to disable it.
Anything new on this? It is driving me crazy!!
It seems to be a trend with Samsung phones...
I had an Eternity and it did this, which drove me crazy.
I also had a Sync, which is a flip-phone. It did not do this if the phone was closed but if the phone was in the open position before the call came in then this would happen.
I think it may be a Samsung "feature" in order to protect your hearing or something if you had the phone close to your head and a call came in. That's all that I can think of.. It's very annoying and I don't like it at all. It really makes me think this is probably intentional considering each Samsung I've had did the exact same thing. I haven't gotten a Captivate yet but I plan to, and it's very disappointing to see that it suffers from this as well.
Has there been any fix to this yet? ?

If you have never used the phone, why do you reply?
The volume will always start low no matter what ringtone you use. It is another stupid, unchangeable setting that Captivate has (much like the separate brightness setting for browser).
HTC has the opposite and more reasonable settting: volume starts loud and becomes low when you pick up the phone. You can disable it if you don't like.
I may be the only person who likes this behavior. If I forget to put it on vibrate mode during class, and it starts to go off, I can quickly hit the volume rocker (without taking it out of my pocket) before it disturbs the class.
would be cool to have a fix for this
Well, any fix yet? It pisses me off :[
I too find this super annoying....anyone have any success in changing it so it starts off at full volume?
I see the Perception 10 has:
Modified Phone.apk (no ascending ring)
I haven't tried P10, can anyone confirm there is not ascending ring?
just bumping this up!
I have perception 10 and mine seems to still have ascending ring. Maybe there's a setting I missed but I don't think so.

It is indeed beyond annoying.
I got a LG P500 a few days ago and this ringing thing is pissing me the hell off.. any fix yet?
Hi,
i own a HTC Desire and i am currently using the latest Redux Rom.
I am happy with the stock Camera App (the one from aosp, i think).
Except one thing: i hate that sound, thats playing when you take a picture.
I hate having to turn my media volume down and there is no option to disable that sound.
I would like to delete that soundfile. (or replace it with a silent one).
Where can i find that file? Is it inside the apk? can i delete it from the apk?
Thanks
Using silent mode is not an option?
you mean the phone wide silent mode?
No thats not a option, thats pain.
I want to start the camera app and make a photo.
Not check if my phone is silent, turn it silent if its not, start the camera app, take a photo and end up in silent mode.
I never want that sound, so why disable it using silent mode?
Got it!
Just delete /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg

Thanks! Also trying to get rid of the sound when it focuses, none of em in that folder is the one I'm trying to remove though. Any idea where I can find the auto focus sound?
Mainly an issue I found using 4.0.4. When muting media volume completely, the phone still makes a shutter noise unless you put it on silent mode.
Is there anyway to just disable it altogether by editing system files or whatnot? Or an app or something that can do it? Or reassigning the sound to something less attention grabbing? I usually take picture of slides during class time and it would be annoying for my phone to keep making shutter noises every two seconds for the slides I need.
Thanks!
If you have a headphone jack plugged into it, even if the wires are cut. I belive it silences everything. You can try that. Otherwise CyanogenMod roms have that option built into them. I'm sure plenty of other roms do too.
I'm running AOKP and if it's on silent there's no shutter noise.. I think
just delete the shutter and recording .ogg files.
located in /system/media/audio/ui

That worked. I just renamed it to whatevername.ext.old instead of renaming it.
Thank you!
Hi All,
First off, I'm not bashing this device. WAY better then others I've used in the past and performance is nice and snappy! I'm really happy that the geniuses here at xdev have come up with some alternative roms to push the envelope for us and this phone. I'm running Lithium 1.2.1 and love it!
The main thing that really irks me about this phone is the complete lack of audio feedback in many areas. On my Dell Streak and Samsung Captivate, when I went into settings, sound, and checked all the boxes under Feedback, IT WORKED. When I change the settings for whatever keyboard I was using (Swype, Go Keyboard, Thumb keyboard, Swiftkey, etc) and enabled sound ON - IT WORKED. When a Bluetooth headset connected - ALL SOUNDS WENT TO THE HEADSET! Notifications, ringtones, screen clicks, screen lock sound - ALL SOUND.
NONE OF THIS WORKS ON THE ATRIX 2. The only notifications that go to the headset is the incoming call alert (but NOT the actual ringtone) - no notifications on anything else ever go out to the headset - only the phone speaker.... Playing music works great, and phone operations work great. ANYTHING ELSE JUST PLAIN DOESN'T WORK AS EXPECTED.
I've been trying to find a good notification system that can announce calls and read my incoming text messages - NONE OF THEM WORK. oh sure, I can initiate a command and the bluetooth mic works but audio feedback DOESN'T. Skyvi, EVA, AVX, Andy, you name it I've tried it. It acts like it did everything but it never makes it to the bluetooth stack. I'll unlock my screen to find one of these voice assistants sitting on a "Do you wish to reply?" after it supposedly announced my message..... I've tried stock 2.3.5, 2.3.6, and every custom rom available but NO DICE. They all act the same - it seems the entire bluetooth audio stack/stream is spotty at best. and AVRCP response is spotty as well. Sometimes I have to hit my PLAY/PAUSE button 3 times to get the sound to come out in my headset... The first push wakes up my phone (which also makes no sense) and I've found that it actually starts playing the file previously selected - BUT NO SOUND. So I have to hit PLAY/PAUSE again (this pauses the silently playing track) and then hit PLAY/PAUSE again - NOW I GET MUSIC. Pausing a playing file is the same. First tap of PLAY/PAUSE wakes up the phone, 2nd tap asserts control of the music player (in this case Google Play Music but I've tried them all) and MAYBE the 3rd tap will actually PAUSE the music! FRUSTRATING!!! Especially if you listen to audio books!!
Don't get me started on the "now it's working, now it isn't" Haptic Feedback!
<stepping off soapbox>
I know most users don't really hit the bluetooth stack hard. Anyone out there seeing the same things as I am? Everything else seems to work flawlessly.
I have the audio problem as well. My haptic feedback works fine. I get notification sounds, when my notifications (fb and twitter) want to work. Everything else is pretty decent. Weird things: if I hold the phone too tight in landscape mode, the screen won't move, at all...
Personally I hate having my phone make noise, so i turn it all off and it's not a problem.

Wow... now there's one I haven't heard before! Mine is in an otterbox case but I'll have to try that....
I get notification sounds from everything... just not over bluetooth... it's frustrating.....

yep, my sound profile is as follows: Ringtone-alert bright but normally only vibrate
notifications- silent
never will my phone make noise for notifications, that's important when you are in school!
My sounds are intermittent. The screen unlock sound never works. Sometimes the plugged in charger sound works, sometimes it doesn't. There is no unplug charger sound. The haptic feedback is so weak I can barely feel it. Making selections in the app drawer never makes a sound. These are all set to ON.
If this thread was intended to be a 'question' you should have posted it in the Q&A Section, otherwise you probably should edit the title of this thread...
I dont think i have any problems with notifications, i prefer my phone to be wuiet all other times

I have similar sound experiences but I use a wired headset and don't care much for all the notifications (switched em off) so its not that big an irk for me.. My sometime-ish wifi on the other hand, THAT'S a different matter

Allright. For the last few days, i've noticed that my Sensation is producing this snap/popping sound after the display turns on. Only when the device hasn't been used for some time. I go to turn the display back on from sleep mode, and after several seconds, it will make this pop sound...
I'm assuming something to do with the capacative touchscreen...?
This is very wierd, and annoying. I'd really like for it to stop doing this.
If you have the technical know-how, open up that phone and take a good look. Clean the contacts, make sure ribbons are secure. That's never a good sign.
UPDATE: Allright, i've noticed that the sound is actually heard when the camera is activated. It sounds like the camera shutter sound. I don't think it's got anything to do with the actual screen itself, anymore. The distinct shutter "pop" is heard.
What could be the reason?
Doesn't the shutter go through a reset cycle or something? I have this happen whenever I close the camera - doesn't seem to be a big deal since it's been going on for the seven months I've owned the phone.

Go to settings/sound and uncheck screen lock sound. Might be what you are referring to.
Nope. That has been disabled the entire time.
I think it might be that STUPID weather sound. You know, the weather app that's in the main menu?
UGH.
i think it makes the sound when i cut it short. Switch to another menu. Might be the speaker popping when turning on to make the sound.
Any way i can disable this garbage. I don't want to hear it every time i turn on my phone.
Stupid weather app...
Y'know, the one that has an animation built into the calender/time?

Click the weather on the widget and then menu and disable animation and sound for it... Might work
