Anyone know how to turn off the horrible sounds the camera makes, even when the phone is on silent?  I saw three different shutter sounds, but no OFF setting.

Thanks,
~Trish

this is intentionally done by phone companies due to privacy issues

Okay so I finally got around to checking this out.  (I have a 6 month old son) anyways I was able to turn off the shutter sound.

I did so by using TKFileExplorer same app used to install apps onto the phone.

I went into Registry
then uploaded camsettings.ini to the computer from the phone
then I opened the file with notepad

In the file there is (ShutterSound=1)
the sounds are
0
1
2
these are the settings to make the stock shutters sounds 0=1, 1=2, and 2=3
so I changed the number to 3 which doesnt have a sound and saved the file
so the file should appear as so (see attached pics)
Then you just delete the old camsetting.ini that is on the phone(you might want to make a back up file just in case)
and upload the one you just adjusted for no shutter sound
The settings in camera will now show nothing in the shutter sound spot it will just be blank.

I do still get a beep when the auto focus lets you know its ready but its way better then the loud sound that wakes my child up when I'm trying to take pictures while he is sleeping!

Also the video start sound is gone but the video end sound is still there

Why does mine said .txt and not .ini

I don't know did you try it with the TXT file?

I think there are a few variables in these phones due to them maybe being built in different locations possibly.  I know that my current phone and the one I exchanged had slight differences so maybe it just how your phone is.  You did go into the registry folder right?  there are quiet a few files in there all of mine are .ini tho

No problem I'll let you know if I figure out a way to silence the video end sound to because that one is extra annoying

Just got a behold 4ish days ago and love it minus the locked screen issue.... it is starting to wear on me and im debating taking it back and getting a curve. I've searched the web for a few days now and it looks like this problem can't be fixed? is this true?
