Hey, i want to turn off the camera shutter sound when you make a picture or a video but i dont have this option in my settings (cause its not allowed in my country). I have the unikernel and have root. I DONT WANT TO USE ANOTHER CAMERA APP!!! So i navigated to /system/media/audio/ui and i clicked every audio file and i deleted all the sounds that had to do with the camera app and now it doesnt make any sounds when i make a picture or a video ONLY WHEN I MAKE A SELFIE WITH THE FRONT CAM IT STILL MAKES THE SHUTTER SOUND, BUT THE SOUND ISNT IN THE DIRECTORY!!! I only have this problem on the frontside cam when i make a picture!! What can i do to remove the shutter sound for the front cam???
Im on 5.1.1 and i have the unikernel stock and i have a sm-g920f
have you tried CSC expert?. I think it has the option to turn it off. Its in the playstore.
Thank you very much!! i changed the value and deleted the app after reboot and its still in the menu this way i didnt need to change the others.xml file manually

Hi NZnewbie
FYI, I've successfully used CSC Expert for enabling the shutter sound menu option for my Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920I (Aust.) exactly as you have prescribed (Lollipop v5.1.1)
Many thanks.
Hi TheKingOfQueens
Thanks for asking the question.
I too changed the audio files believed to be obvious (via: /system/media/audio/ui )
Cam_Start.ogg
Cam_Stop.ogg
camera_click.ogg
Shutter.ogg
Shutter_multiple.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
................by adding ".bak" file extension at the end and "******_" at the start of the file names.
I didn't delete them.
Immediately, the shutter sound for the REAR camera SEEMED to stop.....but on RARE occasions the shutter sound would occur.
Unfortunately, camera shutter sound for rear BURST SHOTS always happened and I can confirm the same for the FRONT CAMERA shutter sound (I was unaware of this one until you mentioned).
Weird........
CSC Expert is the way to go once and for all!
Many thanks.
The developer deserves a medal or some recognition to encourage him to hopefully continue his good work.
Regardless, I would be interested to know WHY the camera was still making the the numerous shutter sounds even after the renaming of the audio files (pre-implementing CSC Expert).
You know you could just put your phone on silent right?

Sure and funny enough I discusssed it today with a friend but the "Shutter sound" camera menu option only mutes camera sounds whilst providing full "alert" audio for everything else.
"Volume down" also achieves this but taking photos of recent neighbourhood events would make this a chore.
Shame I didn't know about this CSC fix earleir.
Hello guyz
i recently updated my moto g 3gen to marshmallow 6.0 but i don't know somehow there's no option to disable camera shutter sound in the given app. Wheareas in lollipop there was no such issues plus there i had an option to disable shutter sound.
Sound is really annoying.
Is this issue with me or every moto 3gen user is facing it ?
If not then please provide any solution on how to disable this sound.
Thanks
Nitesh
It must be yours because I have the sound option, I just checked and it works. It's the next to last setting on the bottom between the location and twist settings. Maybe try uninstalling any updates for the camera and updating it again.

Different regions have different options to disable the camera shutter sound, mainly due to local laws. If you can't disable your shutter sound, your country (or one that you region ROM also covers) probably made it illegal to disable the shutter sound, so Moto disabled it. I have seen several reports of this off and on since Marshmallow started rolling out. I know the US Retail version you can still disable the shutter sound, but I think one of the Asia variants you cannot anymore, possibly another one or two variants as well.
Assuming you have cleared data on the camera app and tried again, this is probably the case.
Rename camera.ogg

go to /system/media/audio/ui/ and look for cameraXXXX.ogg and either rename it or cut and paste it somewhere else. no more click
Hi guys, I have the Mi5s Plus and updated it to the MIUI Global 8.5.2.0 version recently.
While it never used to do this, but since updating it, I can't turn my camera shutter sounds off. There used to be an option in the camera menu, but it has disappeared. The camera shutter sound is now overly loud and obnoxious. Is there any way to turn it off? I thought about flashing the rom and installing MIUI 9 but as I am not familiar with that process, I rather not. Especially as I don't know if it will solve the issue or not.
I´m running miui 9 and there is an option to mute shutter sound..
I believe you are using Android 7.0 Nougat right? If you use MIUI Global Rom using Android 7.0, you need to change your locale into different country, not South Korea, for muting camera shutter sound. Due to Android 7.0 Nougat's characteristics, if your locale is set as South Korea, you cannot mute your camera shutter sound due to South Korean regulation & law. Please select U.S. or another countries.
Hi,
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S8+.
If I try to play music via bluetooth to my speakers, the volume is very very low. The settings are on max and media volume sync can't be enabled.
I tried playing music with my Samsung Galaxy S7Edge and the volume was completely normal and very loud with nothing changed on the speakers.
I also tried this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/low-bluetooth-volume-car-fix-t3595530 with no result.
My BT speakers: https://www.trust.com/en/product/19367-tytan-2-1-subwoofer-speaker-set-with-bluetooth-black
My S8+:
Android 8.0.0
Stock
Knox triggered: 0
Never did any manual flash. Always just updated it.
Are there common reasons for this or good fixes? Or is it just a software bug?
Thanks for your time!

It's oreo, they messed up the volume and everything audio on oreo, no fix right now I'm going to make a topic to see if it's possible to downgrade back to nougat.
Not just an Oreo thing. I've had the same issue with the Bluetooth in my car as well.

Look at that post. I tried the force close method and it helped.

Odd, absolutely nothing changed with my BT devices when I went to Oreo.

it's amazing that you can't tell the difference at all, it's very noticeable, i am unable to hear anything when i receive calls in my headset either, this latest oreo update is broken.
found something online, it's something to do with media sync, try connecting the bluethooth device, then go to settings, bluethooth, 3 dots and select media sync, select on and make sure both phone and headphones volume is max and restart phone, anyone notice any difference? i'm testing it now.

Yea that was the first thing I have read about when I started searching for it. I wanted to try it, but it seems like my BT speakers are not compatible with it. It says that it isnt compatible when I try to activate it. Not sure if there is a workaround to make it working.
I don't think this is an Oreo specific problem. I've encountered this bug since marshmallow.
The only way I could get it to reset the volume back to max was when I used crdroid.
The volume would get set very low. I could open the global equaliser via Google music. And the volume would not change.
I would then access the global eq via another music player. Just make a tiny change to any parameters and boom. The volume is now set to the correct level again.
The moment I would use Google music to access the eq the volume would jump down again
My tablet is now on naosp and the volume issue has popped back up.
Doing the same procedure will reset the volume correctly.
It is rather annoying to have to do this.
I don't know what is causing the problem but it looks like the global eq ultimately effects the output volume disabled or enabled

No difference at all with three different devices I connect to. I do have media sync disabled already. Hopefully you get it figured out.
I've done a test on my S8+ now.
I downloaded the latest firmware and flashed it with a complete reset of the phone.

After the flash of it the BT issue is gone. This was done yesterday (4/10/2018). I will report back if the BT issue returns OR in like 2 weeks+ if everything is still fine.
GL everyone
new firmware released by samsung, lets hope this fixes the issue :S, i checked the notes and it does say fix for bluethooth.

do you need root for that though and i never had this issue in nougat, this issue first happened in oreo.
And i have a universal eq setting on a separate app called precise volume which does the same thing.

It dosn't work anyway, still the same, on a good note they have fixed the low volume for incoming calls on my headphones, just the music volume is still crap.
I think my only solution is another set of headphones that support LDAC but they are £300+ lol or to get a Microsoft music player, i have a laptop that even beats what the old volume was on nougat so maybe a Microsoft music player would be a good idea, gonna look around.
It was good while it lasted i guess.

I wasn't rooted before but since then have rooted via magisk systemless root. I can still use pay and bank access etc...
I'm using viper4android now and have also disabled the system EQ.
I have just got connects2 for my car last weekend.
On the odd occasion the volume will drop when opening automate(the driving launcher) which is set to launch playmusic on Bluetooth connection.
But as soon as I swipe down the volume jumps back up.

So you think it's worth rooting and do you notice any difference in audio quality?

Yeah for sure but be aware you might loose functionality on apps like banking and payments.
I use magisk to hide root so I can still use those functionalities.
Make sure you read into it first.
I've had a replacement connects2 module fitted today and all is going well.
Viper4android my EQ is absolutely amazing in comparison to other EQ and in my case the volume issue has been solved.
Actually it's really loud as I was used to the lower level.
Steps I took.
Unlock bootloader ( wiped my tablet)
Flash magisk
Install magisk manager
Added selinux module via magisk manager
Added viper4android via magisk manager
Disable global EQ
Set selinux to permissive
Install viper4android driver. Prompts when opening the app for the first time.
Reboot
And it's all good.
The bug with AutoMate seems to be tied to my maps speed prompting notification voice.
If it does revert to no EQ, I drag down from the top bar and it's back up again
I hope it works for you. Plus you now have a very awesome EQ as a bonus

Try enabling Developer mode (press Build Number 8 times). Then turn on Disable absolute volume. This de-links the phone volume control from the headset's volume control. Now you should be able to increase volume on both independently.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I had two pair of bluetooth headphones. A Cheap pair with volume control and a fancy pair of JBL Frees with no volume control. I could NOT figure out why sometimes the volume was great when they connected and other times it was VERY LOW all the while the cheap pair sounded great when I turned them up. I was at wits end blaming JBL and Samsung when it was a setting for Bluetooth devices.
Thanks again Huyi. Very glad I found this post.
Hi guys is there an app like viper4android that doesnt require root as I'm looking for a bit more volume out of my galaxy buds and just wondering if it was possible
Prefiberly system wide volume so works on all apps ect
Thanks
I assume you already have the hardware volume button turned up all the way. Try Developer options > Disable absolute volume
Also, make sure you are using the proper size tips for your ear canal. With the medium sized tips, I was getting a lot of ambient noise. I switched to the large ones and they block out most ambient noise. If the largest tips don't help, then you may have to search Amazon for specialized tips.
Afaik, there is nothing like V4A for unrooted devices. V4A works its magic by using a special driver that bypasses the default system driver, which is impossible without root access.

Thanks for the reply I've changed to the bigger tips and did make a little difference I've just gone to developer options should the setting be selected on or off as this is my default lol
I've also tried selecting ldac as I've heard its ment to sound better but keeps setting back to default SBC
I have an iphone 11 pro max sat here too just debating which to keep but I think the note is just alot more device lol
Thanks
You want to *disable* absolute volume, so toggle that switch to blue. I have never messed with codecs, so I can't advise you there.
