[Q] Sound when quick opening camera

Hey guys. stupid question.
If I start the camera by pressing its button or from the lockscreen i hear a stupid loud sound when its ready.
How can i get rid of that?
Greetz

It's a legality thing if I'm not remembering wrong. For the environment to have a chance to react to creeps taking photos when they shouldn't.
I remember it from a thread on SGS3 forum I think. The shutter sound was there even if phone was muted. Only way to stop it was removing the shutter sound file and for that root was needed, or a repackaged firmware.
I think it's a good thing even if it can be annoying for some.

But I don't get this Sound when I just open camera from homescreen and I can deactivate the shutter Sound

Just rename the corresponding wav file then.

The sound file used in this case is located in the SemcCameraUI.all file, so you can't just delete it I guess. Plus it's odexed, if that makes any difference...

The sound is not in the folder neither it is in any of the folders before. I couldn't find it somewhere but the sound is still really annoying...

not in my folder either...
This is really annoying - I guess rooting is the only way to get rid of this sound?
Find that hard to believe, but if someone could confirm I'd be grateful.

Workarounds:
Put the phone in silent, vibrate, or stick in the headset or connect a Bluetooth headset

If you have xposed framework you can download module that disables this sound

What do you use the gear mostly for?

For all you gear owners out there, after months of using it, would you still recommend it? I'm sure a lot of people are still on the fence about spending 300 dollars for a watch
What are your top 3 uses for your gear?

1. Making sure I hear all my text messages with my custom ring tone. (& and sometimes answering with a custom pre-made template)
2. making sure I hear it ring on an incoming call (with another custom ring tone.)
3, Answering as a speakerphone when a call comes in while I'm driving.
These are the thing I bought it for & it works super. All the other things like weather etc, are just icing on the cake.
Yes, I would buy it again (I bought it on the day it came out) and have recommended it to friends

Does it get annoying having to flick your wrist everytime to check your watch? Or did the recent updates improve everything?

I only got my gear 2 days ago, but I don't understand the wrist flicking thing. My watch turns on when I bring it up into a position to look at it. No flicking required. I think it is great. I can't wait for the update for the notifications. Still deciding if the custom ROM is the way to go. I haven't seen yet if the NULL ROM affects battery life.
To answer op:
1)Notifications
2)time and weather
3)media control
4) shopping checklist. Currently via evernote but I am hoping for google keep app in the future.
5) I would like a qr code / barcode scanner.

1. Picking up chicks (all though not as successful as using glass haha)
2. Notifications
3. Quick access apps
Null_ rom makes it a million times more useful

What can you do with null rom? I read the page but since I don't have a gear yet am not sure what everything does.
The whole notification for Gmail, SMS, calendar fb and Whatsapp are now displayed thanks to the update right?
Is it possible to sideload Google keep?

Yes, you can sideload anything - even with stock rom. Latest firmware+gear manager means you get notifications from all apps on phone
By using null, you get more of a stock android experience instead of a small/limited menu system from stock touchwiz launcher
Null_ offers stock plus everything in the features list. And if you don't like it, just flash back to stock - simple
Let's just say that I've been testing out a Nexus 5 and because of null, will be returning back to my s4 and the compatibility with gear

1) Time
2) Weather
3) Notifications (I almost never hear or feel my phone notifications.)
4) Phone Calls (Making calls when my hands are doing other things, driving, eating, typing, gaming, etc.)
5) Showing off
It does so much more than my old watch!
And yes, Null_ will make it much more useful, but I did EVERYTHING (root and flash ROM) last night before bed so IDK. Battery seems to be unchanged.

Checking your phone while viewing a notification with ur watch will automatically open the app /message on your phone right?

If you are not on a custom ROM I believe that's what it does. I can't remember. With Null_ you can read the message and it gives you the option to open on the phone. I believe it gives you the option either way. I am trying to remember because I was on US stock version (Not sure about the number) then flashed UK version (V700XXUAMK7) but was on it for like 5 minutes before flashing Null_.

Close. null_ has no effect on the notifications - they behave as they do in stock. Some apps show full notifications and no need to view on device, but option is there

I've not tried. It requires internet access though so would need to setup Bluetooth tethering

Oh true. I just watched a video and yea it's the same. Since I went from US version to UK version then Null_. I wasn't on the UK version long enough to notice the notifications. That's why I thought Null_ made this possible. This isn't the case for those not on the updated UK version. Before flashing the UK version my Gear would only show who it came from and the option to view on device.

6)media control (cool if you got some bluetooth speakers)

Turn it off there.

Thank you brother! Also how about the hard nav buttons. They just dont get disabled when I'm playing videos. Any idea on that?

Check the individual video player app's settings. Like MX player I think you can disable the back button (and maybe others) to prevent disrupting video playback.

Some people reported not being able to see obb folder on the XT1254 . Even i have the same problem/ They said they could see it whilst the phone was connected to the PC. But i cannot see it on the pc as well. Need to transfer a couple of games ,.how do i do that?

You could use SSHDroid and filezilla to transfer your game saves.

Adding custom notification sounds

I can add ringtones but can't see a way to add notification sounds.

Add them to the "notifications" folder within your phone. I have been doing this for years since I like to use the same ringtones and notifications no matter what phone.

No, plugin your phone into your PC, browse the phone and look for a Notifications folder.

I know where the notifications folder is and can browse to it with es file explorer. It's a read only folder so it won't let you copy anything in there unless you have root access.

Plug it into your PC, set the phone into MTP mode (not ptp mode) and copy the files from your PC to phone. This is what I do, it won't let me upload a screen shot from my settings otherwise I would be able to show you mine.

You're right. Doh!
I'm fairly new to Android and tried adding it in the system folder which is write protected.
Another question. Is there a way to not make the ringtones I've added show up in the music app? I only want my albums to show up and not random ringtones and notifications.

No rooting needed!

Just got a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and I was bummed that I could not add my own notification tones. Then I found this forum and am I glad that I did because now I can add my own notifications by connecting my phone to my laptop and transferring the tones to the Notifications folder! Most awesome thing ever! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

I don't know if it works but a .nomedia file in the folder might keep it hidden

I choose the notification sound that i want from a file in https://superfiles.co/download/F3M13Lta/Google-Pixel-4a-Ringtones.zip. Than i use a program called Audacity and "amplify" the notification sound that i use to -10dB and copy that one to my phone and use it, thank you very much.

OK if you want the same level all the time but that's more of a bandaid.

Yes i agree, but in relation to the ringtone sound level it makes it more convinient. You can even adjust the level by using multiple files. But did google already "fixed" this since version Kit Kat?

Try Sound Profile by Corcanoe in Play Store.
Ready for Android 12.
