I discovered shortly after getting the S5 on the 11th that I couldn't disable the shutter sound. Come to find out, that option is available on AT&T S5 phones. Any ideas why they can and we can't, least till some ROMs pop up?
Try this - it worked for my s3:
Check the file system\csc\feature.xml and edit this line to true
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
You may have to change permissions on the file too.

Thanks for the help! Looks like I have a reason to root it now so I have access to that. :highfive:
I'll report back, thanks!
If you just turn the system volume all the way down the camera shutter sound is gone.

Took longer than I thought, stupid ES Explorer apparently won't let you R/W in the system even with root explorer. Did just like you said, only difference was the shutter sound option on S5 which was false, so I made it true.
Quick google and found this ES Explorer does let you R/W so figured I'd share as well.

....and the screenshot for proof. Thanks again!
This worked for me. I did have to reboot for the shutter sound option to become visible in the menu.

agreed...just put your phone in vibrate or silent mode and there is no sound to begin with
I prefer the modifying the features files to have the option to turn the shutter sound on or off, just like the AT&T phones comes STOCK

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.
Hello..newb at android but all of a sudden one day the following sounds stopped working:
Lock/unlock
Camera
Button press
I did attempt to trouble shoot by looking in the "UI" folder and see all the sound
files are there currently and made sure all the regular settings were enabled too.
Any ideas? Thx in advance...
reboot maybe also check if your media volume is turned up through settings>sound>volume.
I've battery pulled and all that..no luck

Think I will figure out how to factory reset and restore
to back up if it will work.
Proper steps:
-enter recovery via CWM
-factory reset
-the re-enter CWM
-and restore to back up I created???
Have you checked to make sure you have it turned on in Settings/Sounds, down at the bottom Screen lock sounds.
Yeah, still won't work.

Hi all,
I've been a member for a while, but this is my first post in a while.
I recently changed my Motorola Atrix to a Samsung Skyrocket. I love the phone, however I am having a little problem. The Skyrocket will not make noise or vibrate for notifications (such as text, or email, facebook, twitter, etc) but will play ringtone for phonecalls. When I restart the phone, it will work maybe for a day, but after that, it stops working again. Sometimes after receiving a call the notifications will start working again. I've checked the volume settings, and the notifications and ringtone settings, and everything like that... it's all normal. Any suggestions? I've been searching in the forums, and other sites as well, but dont seem to find anything.
The phone is rooted, but that's about it, stock rom. I also did a master reset on the phone as well.
I was using go sms but deleted it and the notifications still go silent.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks!
Hopefully someone here can help ya. I still have not found a solution
Ome thing I never really thought of was trying an Odin restore back to stock...a full clean slate. If that doesn't fix it then definitely a defective phone

That's what I did this morning. So far it's working perfectly, hopefully it will keep working.
Thanks for the reply!
I installed Go SMS again and seems to be working. What I did notice this time around, is that when I was setting up the notifications for the Facebook app, I noticed the option to choose from the Android System ringtones or from Go SMS. Maybe I had it set up to choose ringtones from Go SMS. Seems to be working fine now.
The notification volume and incoming call volume are seperated. The notification sometimes changes somehow idk how. If you want the incoming and notification to be the same download MySettings. The open the app up and click and hold the ringer icon then itll come up with volume settings. Check the box that says use incoming and notification sound together

The notification and call volume are the same. It has been the case ever since ICS and the only way to over come the issue is to use a custom rom, even rooting doesn't do anything to over come it.
I always sleep with phone on silent but I have started missing important unknown calls and was thinking that I should just keep my notifications silent when sleeping. So how do I do that on a nexus? Well I can't lol. Even if I select silent ring tone for notifications in the settings some apps like whatsapp have their own notification tone setting and will over ride whatever you have selected in settings. So basically I need to change the setting for every app everyday lol.
Now with iOS 6 even iPhone gives you higher control over notifications than stock Android. In the day of increased push services and what not a smartphone really needs to offer robust control over all this.

"Stock" on a SIII would mean TouchWiz, wouldn't it?
He means completely stock Android.

He already said that making the phone silent made him lose important calls. He sure doesn't want it to be switched off
I used an app called volume control in the past to control notification and ring tone volumes individually. There's a free version on the play store. Give it a try

Solution to every problem out there. Go spend that $6. It's totally worth it.
I think a much bigger problem with vanilla android is the lack of a T9 dialer. This is one of the most useful and important features on a phone for me and i don't think there's any way to fix this without a custom ROM.
I wish google would just add this and get it over with. I see no reason why they haven't already done so.
i have no idea if the stock from has this feature but im running paranoidandroind 2.54 on my gnex and there is a option to link ringtone and notifications together or have them separate. But even before using this rom i remember when you go to setting->sounds->Volume you can change ring and notifications separately.

I agree; Android definitely needs better sound/LED notification controls. For an OS so heavily invested in "personalization," it certainly lacks any here But oh wait, the Android fanboys and Google nuthuggers say its fine, so I guess it must be, right?

there's ton of apps that let you "personalize" sounds and led notifications if you just look for them in the play store not to mention the countless roms that include these features. no need to start insulting people because of your ignorance.

You can get t9 with third party dialor you don't need custom rom or even root for that. I use touch pal contacts its a brilliant app and you can theme it as well. The best thing about android is that you can change default system apps.
And people I have used several profile applications but all of them are riddled with bugs. The more powerful an app is the more bugs it seems to have. And some of those bugs can be so severe its not even funny. Like one of these apps "profile scheduler" would sometimes disconnect my network after a phone call lol wut.
However of course I am not giving up I am searching for apps that can unlink the notification and ring tone volume and seems like some of the devs have been able to do it now.
I am rooted btw so I will look into the recommendations put forward by a few posters.

Because Samsung was never stupid enough to link the notification and ring tone volume. Bleh android oem's can be good at times lol.
I am also amazed at the blocking mode in jelly bean galaxy S3. I would like to see Samsung add profiles to blocking mode but in any case it trumps every other phone in terms of the sheer control it gives you. I have realised it really is better for such critical features to be built in instead of using an "app".

I love the New Droid Maxx, however randomly when I get an SMS the vibrate and audio notifications stop working. I still get the screen notification tho. I reboot and it starts working properly again. I originally had my general notification to none for audio and thought that was the problem, I put a standard notification back on and it still does not solve issue. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Yes! I thought the same thing but in reality it was actually making a beep (the same sound when increasing or decreasing ringer volume). Luckily my problem went away for the most part. Paired with the notification volume not being synced to the ringer volume I was missing lots of things.

I didn't think about the BT being a possible cause, I was using the "Sleep" mode in the "Assist" app. once I disabled that function, it seems to have fixed my issue of the notification going to silent, randomly.

did gravity box work... i tried it, have the "link" box checked, but when i adjust ringer volume, the notification vol does not change.
EDIT: Nevermind, it does work. It just doesnt show the matching level for the notifications. Thanks!
There's the option to un link them. Never seen the option to link them. How do you do this?
I tried the unlink just to see if using that then disabling it would somehow do something. It just made my volume panel not have icons.
Edit : disregard. Check next post. Sorry!
