Stupid Camera sound..

So there's no way to get the camera sound to stop without rooting, well I am using root explorer how do I find the file with the sound? And can I just delete it or will renaming it work as well?

You can turn the camera sound off, its easy and you do so in the camera settings. Just open the camera, click on the gear and then scroll to shutter sound and turn off and no more camera sound.

Hehe, the only times I've noticed the snap sound on the camera bother me are..

A. at the office when I'm trying to snap a picture of something

B. trying to snap a picture of my girlfriend changing.. :/

But yeah, if you drag the notification down and click the sound button, over to vibrate, it'll get rid of the sound temporarily until you return to full sound mode.. Otherwise, like stated above, it is in the camera settings..

:) happy snapping

Have no idea which version of the phone you peeps are using but someone just told us all what to do.
I have the AT&T version and if you go into the camera app and select the "Gear" icon in the upper left...............the menu that appears can be scrolled! Use your finger and scroll UP...not down.............tons of other options will appear :)

Sorry...............i do indeed have it on my AT&T S3.

Good example why we should have separate forums or at least the ability to say which carrier we are on !!........... I got home at 6pm and had over 700 (that's correct....700+) postings to go thru of which maybe 5 had a make on the thread title. Wish the "boys" could see this side of the tracks :(

I see no option for silent shutter on a Verizon s3.

Nope it's not on VZW. Now Idgara about the shutter sound but why in the blue hell are there so many changes between carriers? No 4g toggle on VZW does P*** me off, but it's draining battery for no reason and I don't live/work in a 4g area. Even the tech people at the carriers phone emulators are incorrect if they try to walk you through something. Love the phone, but man someone screwed the pooch IMO with all these unnecessary differences.
