Why? Do you want to make (silent) pictures in toilets or public showers?
NO, this is NOT possible and even prohibited in some countries! I don't think there will be an update to enable this!
By the way: you know this forum has a SEARCH-function? If you had used it, you probably found that there was already a thread about this!

hell, yes ! How did you know my intention
Actually, I want to take pictures without the shutter sound. I can't disclose my purpose here.
Thanks for pointing me to the correct thread. I hadn't searched for the thread but I've gone through all the forums under "Gear 2" and didn't see that one. sorry...
Btw, I don't care if it is prohibited or not. There are too many prohibited things which we find a hole to un-prohibit on this forum. Shutter sound is not an exception.
ps. : Don't worry I am not interested in your nude pictures in the toilet. but if I was, I wouldn't use Gear 2. There are smaller devices for that purpose.
I found a camera app in the SDK sample apps. Maybe I can check that and remove shutter sound if possible...

WHY the hell do you CARE why people want it to be muted? The same reason you want vibrate as I told you before. There are time when it's quiet and you don't want to hear a shutter sound.
For example photographing a sleeping baby. Not sutter sound needed and wanted.
Any suggestions? I am looking as well.
I tried to compile the camera sample app in the Tizen wearable SDK.
unfortunately, I couldn't compile.
open to any ideas...

I just built it and ran it on the emulator with no issues. It did you use my laptop camera for the emulator.
If it built, but you couldn't transfer it, it's probably a permission/signature issue.

There is now an easy way to disable camera shutter sound:

Rooting:
Instructions
Here are some instructions on how to Load into Odin and flash your device with the downloaded firmware
Download Odin 3.09, and extract it to its own folder
Download the rootfs.img file from the above links
Put your Gear 2 device into download mode
Launch Odin
Connect Smart watch to your PC
Make sure the settings are the default ones ie Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time selected
Select the AP Button
Navigate to where you downloaded the file and select it
Click on Start
Wait for it to finish.
In order to activate root you need the sdb.exe from Tizen-SDK, or equivalent file depending on your OS.

That program is actually very nice and I'd prefer it over screencast to make videos. However, my tutorial is based on how to control the phone from the pc as well as view it from the pc and I don't believe that program offers remote control of the phone. Thanks again for the link though! I may need to make a video for that as well!
Thanks man! These vids rock! One question, I use Ubuntu, as far as flashing Cognition, are there any changes that need to be made in the proccess?
Oops, that was actually not the one I meant. Even though it is pretty nice app. Have you tried this on? http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/

No muting yet. I went through the manual too. I even tried muting the sounds (in general) and it still noisy. I guess another thing still in the works.
Nope: in most countries it's prohibited to have NO shutter-sound!
So: this won't be implemented in future updates!

Really? I didn't know that.
Me 2
Sprint did the same thing with their phones. I read it hasn't passed congress yet (this was a year or two ago, haven't done research since), but Sprint was the only carrier at the time pushing camera sounds to all users. They however couldn't make changes to the iPhone so they did not push this change to them.
I'm betting we will need to wait until someone roots the watch until the sound will be removed...

That's not true, put your phone on vibrate or silent and take a picture. You can also disable to sound on certain carriers like T-Mobile.

I remember on the s2 you couldn't turn shutter off but later we got an update to do it. Hopefully we get one cuz shutter is loud. Or hopefully someone roots this gear 2 and I'm sure we will be able to do that.

Read it just fine sir, no offence intended. This, however, isn't true in my experience, even still, it definitely doesn't mean it won't be included as a future update.

First line, no, maybe some countries...if such a law. But easy fix, install other camera software that can disable shutter sound. Also already built into Android camera.
Second line, probably true like the first Galaxy Gear. But hopefully there'll be a mod for it like on the first.
I hope this is addressed shortly. I need to be able to take pictures of lecture notes on the board (and the professor doesn't mind, so long as it is silent), however with the shutter sound, I can't, as it would be seen as a disruption. If I start taking pictures with this thing, I would most definitely be asked to leave.
I must say that Tizen was a very poor choice on Samsung's part. No apps exist (can't so much as use Twitter), and we can't do anything. It's quite frustrating.

Yeah, really need the ability to turn off the shutter sound. I tunred all shutter sound off on all my devices. At least the ability to low the sound.
I have finally built the app but when I try to install with sdb.exe I get an error.
anyone else who can try ?

have not tried this on the watch, but...
$ sdb shell

copy screen.xwd to somewhere that you can work with it, use a program like gimp (and i'm sure many others) to convert the xwd image to png or something.

ive compiled a .bat file for anyone who wants to browse their gear in windows like an explorer, with out the limitations of instant browsing or editing inside tizen sdk and without having any changes made sticking by accident
but first you need to put sdb.exe into the folder sdb at C:\sdb
the .bat will then proceed to pull your gears filesytem to the sdb folder, maintaining the correct heirarchy
CAUTION WHEN MAKING CHANGES
NOT FOR NOOBS
any changes made wont be save on the device
if you want them saved
you will need to push them back to the relevant folders on the gear
and reboot

Hi,
With tizen 3.0.0.2 I started to monitor battery usage and it looks like Music player is pretty much up there consuming my battery. I never actually use music player so not sure why it consumes battery. Is there any way to stop it permanently or disable it somehow?
Thanks.

I second this, I've also noticed that half the time when my watch wakes it's now on the media player and not the watch face. Even when no media was playing. Cannot figure out how to stop that from happening yet.. but as soon as I have enough time to figure it out I will share it here
1.
It seems only affected T-Mobile SM-R765T with latest Firmware R765TUVU3CRD2
2.
We could try to identify if these are settings problem...
Or inside this Firmware is buggy Music Player App
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76472181&postcount=21
Maybe somebody here who is willing to identify problem...
Maybe workaround could be to replace this app, by older Version...

i did the following and so far, it seems to help but NOT sure if it will stick:
- force stop the app (music Player)
- clear cache on Gear S plugin, Gear IconX,
Gear
- restarted Gear and my phone (Note 8)
Battery still sucks. was far better on 3.0.0.1
**UPDATE 5/11/18** Did not help, still comes back, but not as often as it did.

While I still have not had time to look into this further, my guess is the only fix would be in the Gear app on our phone, notifications, and make sure we turn off notifications for whatever is causing this (not sure what the specific app would be as I am not wearing my watch right now so I cannot pull up the list of apps that I allow to send notifications to the watch)
That's the fix I intend to explore first, if you can check this for us, you may solve it now. Or maybe not lol

I switched back to the Samsung Galaxy S9 from a LG V30. It did it with the V30 and it's doing it with the S9. I have even switched my Gear S3 music player to the watch instead but it still pops up. I rest my watch Saturday morning when I connected it to my new S9. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the mufic player on the phone cause I had the LG stock music player on the V30, I also user Poweramp. I think it is a software glitch.

I agree it is a bad update, this is why I called it a POSSIBLE workaround. It kept that stupid popup away all day yesterday(13+ hrs). It popped up this am, when my watch went standalone. So I reconnected to my Note 8 and cleared the cache again. C'mon Samsung FIX THIS!!!

Yeah I've had this same issue as well. Going to install samsung music and hope it will resolve the issue. Even though it's annoying af with the media player popping up, my battery life is FAR better on this update than it has been in ages. I get 2..almost 3 days of use now, where in the past I only got 1 day. Hope we find a fix to this though.
