it's crappy, annoying and unwanted. how do i mute it (without putting the phone on vibrate)?
Are you rooted? If so then you'll have to download "root explorer" app (if you don't have it) and then scroll down to SYSTEM, then SCROLL to MEDIA and delete the camera.ogg file (I believe that's the name of it) and the recorder.ogg file (I believe that's the name of it). If I helped please feel free to hit the thanks button.

Do not delete those files right away, try renaming them to something else first. If the camera app still works, then it is safe to delete.
But for me when I renamed the files (in my Nexus S they're in /system/media/audio/ui/ and the file names are camera_click.ogg and VideoRecord.ogg) the camera app cannot start anymore. The error message was weird though -- it says "Cannot connect to camera."
Then I renamed the files back and the camera app works again.
nope. not rooted. just plain ol' stock 2.3.2

You just need a blank sound file to replace it.

Yeah, I think that's the way to go.
If you make your phone silent, I believe the camera makes no shutter sound.

I always delete both files after I download a new rom and the camera works flawlessly. Trust me it works and it's extremely easy.

Why dont you just to to "Vignette"
you could hold the volume down key for 5 seconds before you take a snap

I've tried searching with no luck (maybe I just suck at it). Is there a way to disable or change the "plinking" sound of the volume rocker? It's driving me mad.
I want that too! My device has volume locker up very sensitive,small presure activates it,yet the button seems to work properly.don't have patience to wait for warranty and thank god is the volume up and not down.

This is the one thing that bothers me with my Inspire. When pulling out of it's case I constantly hear the plink sound. I've installed Volume Lock from the market, but that doesn't take care of the sound.
Unfortunately I think we are stuck with this one. I had this minor quibble with my old Desire too. I can confirm there is no option that I know of to disable it.
I guess the location of the volume rocker sound is not device specific, so has anyone found where it is? I want to replace the sound with something else, but I can not find the file location. It's not in /system apparently, or I am looking in the wrong places.
Hi guys
It's 7 mp3 files in /system/media/audio/ui
Download THESE and put them in your ui folder...works for me
It's 7 mp3 files with silence, you can also try deleting them, but I'm not sure what happens
Cheers
That doesn't seem to work for me. I put the files in /system/media/audio/ui via "adb pull" and verify they are there, but that doesn't change anything. Rebooting the phone doesn't help either.
What firmware are you on? I'm using Android 2.3.4 (Cyanogen 7).
I think you mean ADB push, right?? If you used pull, you'd be copying those files from your phone and overwriting those on your PC...
the syntax goes:
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push volume-1.mp3 system/media/audio/ui/volume-1.mp3
adb push volume-2.mp3 system/media/audio/ui/volume-2.mp3
...etc...
But it si possible that CM7 has these sounds elsewhere, so try searching for .wav/.mp3/.ogg file in the ROM...
It is also possible these are packed in some .apk file as a resource...in that case you need to find what .apk file it is, decompile it, replace those sounds, recompile it and push back....
I know I can turn the ringer volume down to silence the shutter sound but...is there a way to permanently disable it?
delete it? any help is much appreciated. thank you!!
You'll have to root your phone, mount the /system partition read/write and delete the sound file that's located at /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
not a problem. now, im assuming that this will just take the picture without the sound...and im also imagining that i wont experience any fc's.
thanks, man, ima nandroid and delete that file.
you don't have to delete it, just rename it, maybe you want the sound back

true.
i made a b/u prior to deletion. a few tests last night and everything worked fine.
I have the strangest problem. I just changed from Honeycomb to ICS on my GT P6800. Using Odin, the flash went smoothly. However, now I hear voice prompts (a nice lady) whenever I edit my Homescreen, open or close a folder. I can nowhere find where to stop these voice prompts. As far as I can hear, they only sound when editing the (one of the) homescreens or opening a folder from a home screen. How do I silence this woman?

Thanks. Talkback is switched off, but the voice prompts remain to sound when opening or closing a folder from one of the homescreens.

SOLVED!!!
In accessibility (settings menu) I switched off an application called NoLed. Probably a bug. Since then the woman silenced! Thanks all!
Thanks for following up with your solution!
Got the silence files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66258646&postcount=13
You DO NEED ROOT but its simple.
There are 6 files that need to change in system/media/audio/ui
af_failure.ogg
af_success.ogg
cam_snap_0.ogg
camera_click.ogg
camstart.ogg
camstop.ogg
With a root file manager (root explorer, etc) rename those 6 files to .old and replace with the files in the zip provided. Then just FIX PERMISSIONS and reboot.
Very nice find.
For those without root, i'll add this: I was playing with a camera app last night that was recommended somewhere, cymera maybe? And in it, it had an option to go silent. I turned all my volumes up outside the app, went in, took a picture, zero sound. So that might be an option for others.

Thx, works good.
I have the T-Mobile variant and if my phone is on silent, there is no shutter sound.
I believe this is a way to silence the shutter sound without having to add the step of muting your phone.

correct
Hmm so I'm trying to figure it out but no luck yet. I have the sounds disabled in camera except one. When you long press the take pic button. It does the multiple shots til you let go, the click sound is there. Any idea which sound file that is?

Unsure when this started or if I just hadn't noticed but went I recently changed the default SMS sound I get a notification when turning off the U11+.
The default notification sound accompanies device shutdown or restart.
Is this a stock feature or have I inadvertantly turned this sound on?
Thoughts or suggestions on how to turn off if it is possible on stock?

Let me check with mine later. Sound could be built-in in boot animation.

@kenosis is right, audio.wav is embedded in a folder named part4 inside the boot animation file located in /system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_U_QCT_2880.zip. i opened the zip on my laptop, renamed the audio.wav file to audio.wav_ copied the updated zip to my U11+, backed up the original hTC_bootup_U_QCT_2880.zip_, pasted the new version in the folder, set permissions and waa-la, no more boot-up sounds!

Thank you for sharing this. This is helpful but not what I am seeking.
The issue with my phone relates to shutting down the device which triggers the default notification sound(not HTC jingle). Is this stock behavior?

whoops! yeah, i totally misunderstood (or misread, lol). definitely not having that issue.
Mine is quiet both on startup and shutdown.
I found what was causing this.
Flick Launcher notification access was turned on - turned off did the trick.
Interesting setting. Not easy to figure out what was causing it.
