Is there an update or new ideas regarding Fairphone’s issue with the camera shutter sound not being able to be turned off. I have a non-rooted FP2 and tried several things - all without any luck. The sound is really annoying in some cases!
Currently, I use Open Camera (opencamera.sourceforge.net) and the option to turn off the sound is not working. The manual pages state that “Shutter sound - Whether to play a sound after taking a photo. (Requires Android 4.2 or higher to disable, and even then isn’t supported on all devices.)”. So this really seems an FP2 issue as far as I understand it.
Unfortunately, similar discussions here were closed without resolution (please search yourself, as I’m not allowed to reference them here due to forum-restrictions for new users).
I’m using Open Camera 1.35 from F-Droid. I wasn’t able to stop the camera shutter sound. Has someone else using Open Camera succeeded with it? What settings do you use?
OK, I just installed it to be able to try. Open Camera 1.35 from FDroid - and I have no shutter sound (out of the box). Have to take that back. My phone was in silent mode and I heard nothing. But after I turned on sound in general I have a shutter sound as well. Though not on my usual camera app (“A better camera”).
