Anyone know how to disable the camera noises? I tried an app called silent snap but it didnt work? Also anyone got some advise on how to get the best out of the camera - settings that get us better images? For a 5mp camera ive been pretty disappointed with the camera results!
As I know, change your volume to silence , there will be no Camera sounds. Try that.
You can delete or rename the file /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg to get rid of the shutter sound...but you'll still get that beep sound when you focus.
So the best solution is probably to use the silent or vibrate profiles.
To silence the camera (including the focus beep!) I use Sound Manager from the Market. I set System Volume to the lowest. All other phone sounds that I care about work fine under this setting. I set it up to schedule zero system volume at 8AM every day. That way if the setting "falls off", it will fix itself regularly.
I bought camera360 pro..and I am happy with it
Attached the sample.. it captured with lomo cyan effect directly from milestone using camera360pro app

I think he's not talking about sounds! He means the "noise" of the picture, like the red pixels in night photos....

I was referring to the camera start and shutter sound. I was also hoping that people might post any settings they use to get the best out of their pictures

Worked for other things on my phone, but didn't not effect the focus beep at all. I have heard it is intentionally built to not be able to be disabled. It's quite loud too. Most be something in the OS or camera operating system that could disable it though.
Androidiani's open recovery has a hack to disable camera shutter sound.

Noise from high ISO shots are usually a problem with the sensor. You can use one of the alternative camera apps out there that might use less compression, but in the end noise from dark photos comes from the fact that this is:
a) a tiny sensor
b) a terrible sensor
c) the camera just isn't built for low light shots.
some software out there like Adobe Lightroom or Apple Aperture or even Noise Ninja are excellent at noise reduction. That's pretty much all you can do. As a dSLR shooter, I know I have to push ISOs sometimes and just hope for the best....
This is a magisk module to turn off camera & video shutter sound while taking photo or recording video. Works with magisk v14.0+
Tested with LineageOS 14.1
But should work with all Custom/Stock ROMs
How to activate?
Flash from magisk manager app v5.3+
Or
Flash from custom recovery like TWRP
How to deactivate?
From magisk manager..
Download:
Download from attachments..
Enjoy!

Because shutter sound is annoying.
Sorry if my question is dumb, but my phone already has no shutter sound when i turn down the volume. How is this different?

That's turning off of all voice/noise(DND or silent) from your phone while this module selectively disables shutter sounds irrespective of DND or no DND.
Thanks.
Some countries like South Korea make it necessary for phones to make loud shutter sounds, regardless of DND or sound settings. It's quite annoying having to go delete system files every update. Thanks again!
For those of us with the unlocked Note 9, and have noticed that there is no option to turn off camera shutter sound, there is an easy way. Using Good Lock 2018 with the Routines plugin you can set the camera app to launch with system sound at 0. That super loud clack sound had to go. I believe you can also use the Sound Assistant to set individual app sound levels which would permanently set camera to system sound 0 also. Just an FYI.

This is a great idea! How do you automatically change the volume setting back to how it was or on once done with the camera app?

If you use the Routines plugin in Good Lock 2018 it will switch to no system volume then immediately back. It's critical that you use either Routines or some other automated system because the alarm won't sound. In Routines click the +, name your routine, click add condition, choose Launch an Application, then click the underline, choose Camera, then click Add Action, choose Sound Mode, then click the underline, then you can choose volume levels for all sound types(Media, Notification, System, and Ringtone. System is the one you set to 0. Then save and it will switch to 0 then back every time you use the camera.

And why would you want to do this: making a picture without the "clicking"-sound?
Upskirt and stalker pictures with ninja stealth. Joking aside, it is annoying. It is like skeuomorphistic design but with sound. I can understand the legality I some countries but at least let us change the sound.
You can simply change your volume settings to mute or vibrate, that disables the camera sound temporarily if needed. Just use your volume rocker or select mute/vibrate in your quick toggles.

I did this and my issue is once you exit the app, the Ringtone volume does not revert to previous setting (full volume).
I put together a little app that mutes the camera sounds for my own use if you want to give it a try? Basically, all it does is, when you launch the camera the system sound drops to 0, then when you exit the camera it goes back up to what it was originally set to, much the same as previously mentioned.
Download, install, go to your app drawer and look for Camera muted, click on it once (nothing will launch), this will set your system volume to 0, reset your system volume to what you want. From now on everytime you launch the camera it should automatically do what I mentioned at the beginning.

On a side note, if you want the camera sounds back, just uninstall the app.
padlad, I've tried to check your app, but it doesn't start at all. Also I get no error messages whatsoever. Are you still working on the app? The phone is from a local carrier.
Edit: Also on the "Why in the 1st place? - As a long term DSLR user, this sound is just offensive to the community. They should've thought/asked better prior mimicking it this way.

Try this one, same as above but when you 'click' the app a flash message will pop up. No need to reset your system volume manually. Install, 'click' or 'open' camera mute (you should only need to do it once), then open the stock camera and it should be silent when you use it, If shutter sounds are still present, close the camera app and reopen it, the shutter sounds should now be silent. Good luck :good:

Thank you but.... the pop-up says says sounds should be disabled, yet the camera app works and sounds as before. Should I reboot after the install?
And I haven't had updates in around a week, but I doubt it that they will remove the sounds from Samsung for the EU. It's about laws, not user preference.
Is your app SoC related? Because mine runs the Exynos.
For now the only good option is to lover or mute the System sounds from the settings menu.

Try opening the camera app again and trying. I've noticed when first installed, and enabled, the camera app still makes the shutter sounds, but when you exit the camera app and then launch it again the shutter sounds are silent (that's for the updated app I posted) .
Yep, still not working. Not after restarting, not after closing and opening app.
If you use Automagic, then this flow seems to work:

If you turn System Volume down, it also disables the shutter sound, and it doesn't effect alarms or ringtones.
I don't see any mods yet which would remove the camera shutter sound. Also I miss the in-built call recorder option. Can I get them anywhere?

I have no need for a call recorder so I can't help you there but I turn shutter sounds off in camera settings.
You can use Bixby routines to turn off the sound when the camera app is launched. It will disable the shutter sound. When you exit the camera app, the sound will be turned on again.
I guess I'm missing something but why turn off any sounds? Don't all S10 stock cameras have the shutter sound switch in camera settings?

In certain countries laws forbid the shutter sound from being turned off so the phone variants for those countries don't have the option in the camera settings. There are apps that can do it though. My wife has an LG G8 and LG phones don't have a switch to turn it off so she uses No Shutter Sound from the app store and it works great.

I made a post after getting pie update and now, here is an in-depth list of features of android Q in ZMP M1
all phones are not getting the same features
removing screen lock /fingerprint doesn't save you from password after update (at least it didn't work for me ) make a backup of everything in case you need to reset
list of things I'll suggest making a backup
WhatsApp chat
google photos
apps with es file explorer or any such file manager
settings + contacts+ call log+ messages from settings backup
notification led :
I like to turn it off all the rime even when charging but in android Q I couldn't find any way to disable it during charging
i was checking my old post about pie
1. Ambient Display : settings>display>advance>Ambient Display
It works only when you get a notification (its dope would like it being enabled always) though Daydream nowhere to be found.

left earphone to week? there is audio balance in assessability settings
vibratin and haptic feedback in assessability
not the true dark mode in assessability settings dark theme and color inversion options are nearby enough to test what we could have got for dark mode
dark mode doesn't get turn back to a light mode in live wallpaper
assessability volume key shortcut might come in in handy for some but it makes a notification sound
there is charging sound and vibration in sound settings might want to turn it off, I have seen Samsung charging sound but Asus just makes the phone vibrate with a faint sound might scare people who don't know as it's on by default in android q
I am getting the rotate once button in navbar when autorotate is off I am using two-button navigation and a small circle when using gesture
the lockdown option to prevent unlock by any other means now also prevents notification to show can be enabled in display>lock screen display> show lockdown option
in gesture navigation you can swipe up and continue in an app to make it go smaller beyond it should go
to start android it asks for setup screen lock password it is stepping in the right direction but we should have it in kernel/bios as once entered in recovery mode anyone can reset a phone
QR code to share wifi available
still no way to monitor or block devices connected to your hotspot
default Bluetooth name QCOM-BTD Qualcomm's BLE chip?
widgets to settings shortcut there should be system UI tuner after opening it shows this funny warning message

dev options> picture color mode sRGB does this option even work any were?
in dark mode theme when searched in settings there is a white padding
dev options> game driver properties I don't know what it does perhaps boost graphics performance
feature flags section in dev options shows nothing except experimental (edit: these were removed in Q beta 3)
system traces have many options like pre CPU buffer and in the category, it has some tick box options and possibly CPU performance after we stop getting updates
swipe up to recent in any navigation option seem a bit too sensitive
audio seems of though I only watched youtube (Linus tech tips) so far that is without headphones
in dev options audio Bluetooth codec shows APTX HD and other option which might make Bluetooth audio great
in dev options profile HWUI seems new but not sure what it is the bars shown on-screen seems familiar
in dev options adaptive notification priority makes no difference and doesn't have any description but a quick google search shows it is supposed to make low notification priority genital
in dev options apps can be installed in external storage option
in dev options force activities resizable doesn't work in split-screen view but I may be doing something wrong
also I hate the lock icon when unlocking also there is no center icon with face/fingerprint or padlock in lock screen
in dev options wifi entending option might help in office or home to extend wifi if it works
in dev options enable freeform windows doesn't work
in dev options forced desktop scant be tested as no video output but wireless display might allow haven't tested
in dev options I enabled bubble notification will add things that can access it
in dev options auto fill section is too vague and I am not getting what anything does

camera app
in pro mode no shutter speed control option
max iso in pro mode is 1600 like in HMD global camera
auto video encoder is h264
portrait mode has extremely bad edge detection
night mode isn't that good
no fps option for video like 24,25,29.98,30,60 fps etc
no raw support in stock camera app resulting in assumption camera2api isn't enabled by default, though I enabled it in pie and it carried forward maybe so I am not sure.
it is a bit long but if you are reading this then thanks for reading till the end I'll format the whole thing later

Gestures are enabled by Google after December security patch nova / most other launchers work with gestures. You can however use 2 button and 3 button navigation perfectly.
About that dark and black mode difference we don't have an amoled or led display it's an lcd so it won't make difference in battery but kind of personal choice. I like dark more than black.
The thing about wallpaper and dark thing - in android 9 dark/light theme was set by wallpaper color so live wallpapers needed to support color picker api to tell the device to keep light or dark theme. (it was half broken by asus as selecting dark theme should've disabled the api completely, but using pixel default live wallpapers they had that api so dark mode worked with them).
That srgb was being considered by Google they dropped it as it broke a lot of the things.
You can resize top and bottom windows just hold the middle line in centre and drag it where you want to put it. (I use 400 dpi so I get more steps).
It's because that feature is intended towards large screen tablets or foldables and Samsung made their own thing, (the free form window thing).
It's for devs making password manager apps or autofill apps those people need it for debugging, the logging levels are to make reports to find bugs, the max request is how many times in one field the autofill will attempt to fill in credentials. The max visible dataset is if you have multiple accounts to one app (take Gmail as example) so while trying to autofill it lists all of available accounts to show (I'm not an expert in this so I maybe wrong if needed confirm that.
About sound issue it is very real and use some good quality earphones or compare side by side with 060 running device.
