Silence Camera Sound?

**dg12** · 04-20-2012, 01:34 PM

I downloaded the upgrade and see absolutely no difference than before!

**RegN** · 04-20-2012, 03:28 PM

I am not sure how different it is but I know with new version if I take one pic it works, If I take 2 or more I can no longer use my phone till I reboot.

they asked for the event log but I cannot get my phone to spit them out.

Doesn't Pressing Alt + LGLG from homescreen bring the event log?

I had the issue with shutup camera, however after updating to the new leak os 7.1.0.402 everything works perfectly. You can now silence the camera and exit the app any way (via bb button/close or just the back button and the phone works on the bold 9900.) Previously on os .342 I was having phone issues (phone would activate speaker and mic would be muted) now everything is perfect. I also found on .342 if you close via BB button/close the app will close properly apose to if you just hit the back button where the app would mess up the phone. In short .402 seems to fix everythin. (At least for me it did.)

Sounds great. I was going to try the leak this afternoon and now will for sure. Will add my results once its done.

**RegN** · 04-21-2012, 03:27 PM

Did not fix it for me. Still same issue. I think this will be up to the devs to fix and get a new build out. or accept defeat but hopefully they won't do that.

Except it doesn't take pictures with the full resolution camera, but screenshots of lower quality, right?
Thats what gives Shutup camera the huge edge at the moment.

I just realised that I am not running the version from app world. I am on vesion 1.0.5 I was given access to this build for testing and had not realised the developer updated to 1.1.1 I tried the app world version and it does not work for we so I went back to the test build I have. I have informed the developer about this, so hopefully a fix will be soon on the way, the build I have does work flawleslly

We are working hard to find a workaround/solution. Thanks for your patience.

**RegN** · 04-22-2012, 12:57 PM

Seem to be a few of these threads around. I have moved to the one in blackberry apps.

ok I thought the new 1.1.1 build was working and it was but all of a sudden, I just got a phone call and could not hear anything. Please devcellent, give us another fix soon.

work around found, after taking silent pictures close app then open it and take a normal sounding picture and then you can hear and talk on the phone again.

**jwang217** · 04-24-2012, 09:50 AM

Actually the developer told me a better workaround: when you're using shut up camera, instead of hitting back or end to get out of the app, just hit the menu and then close. That did it for me.

**RegN** · 04-24-2012, 10:03 AM

Oh well that does work on my phone too. So with that working I can say this app is working well as it needs to. Just happy to not have to pull battery to fix it, so for those times when I hate hearing it I know I can use without grief. I have tested it numerous times at this point and feel pretty good about it.

Amigos!

I have a 9930

I bought:

Silent Camera Pro with Camera Timer - Capture Multiple Pics In One Go
by
Parachute Mobile
(USD) 0.99

Pros: There is no CLICK when you use This app to take pictures.

Pros:

Mute works when you take pictures from within This app instead of the native camera app
Take multiple pictures with a single click
Adjust delay before first shot, delay between shots, and number of shots
App includes zoom function

Cons:

This app shows the viewfinder display and the settings in the same window, so the viewfinder is smaller than full-screen
After clicking a picture (or a single click for a series of pictures), the viewfinder display goes white. You have to exit and re-enter This app to re-activate the viewfinder. That is surprisingly NOT a big problem, just weird.
By taking a picture from within This app, what happens to the Exposure, Flash, Stabilization, and Resolution settings that are available in the native Camera app? I tried, but turning on the flash in the native app has no effect in This app. And This app has no Flash setting -- so unfortunately, there seems to be no way to activate the Flash with This app.
There is no resolution adjustment in this app. .PNG pictures are taken at 640x480, only.

The extra bells and whistles are interesting. But to mute the Shutter Click sound, I didn't intend to lose any capabilities. Being limited to 640x480 and losing the flash is not an equitable trade-off.

Should I try to pursue getting my money back? Well, that's another can of worms...

Can I assume that Any app that claims to silent the Shutter Noise is similarly an entire new camera app instead of something that just silents the click in the native app?

Happy hunting,

There is a app that uses the native camera and all of its features and works perfect to quite the shutter sound. It is not just a screenshot type app. Here's a link. The name is ShutUp Camera and it works perfect.

With ezception to 9930 last time I tried it. It's always been hard if not impossible to silence the shutter sound on CDMA BB's.

Nope, not true at all. Every previous BB I've had has been CDMA on Verizon and QuickLaunch camera mute app worked perfectly every time on every phone.

I bought the ShutUp app. And it helps.

Sometimes it silences the click with the first camera shot, but then the 2nd shot goes Ker-Click, again.

The next time, I got the camera to shut up for a few shots in a row.

I'll see if I can figure out what it wants to keep being silent, dependably.

ciao,

I have a 9930 Os .580 and tried it out for the 2nd time. It does work, but now my headphones won't work! Sonova! Keep trying guys, maybe I'll be able to use it someday!

**SwissCuban** · 09-13-2012, 01:18 PM

Well I have the Bold 9900 and don't know how to get rid of the camera sound, so if anyone knows how to do it, I'd appreciate some advice.

**drew8484** · 09-13-2012, 02:37 PM

I had a 9900, and recently switched to a 9930. I've used Silent Foto Free on both and it works great. Download from App World.

See above. ShutUp camera app. Costs $0.99 but it works and takes full high res pictures - not just lame screenshots of the camera like all the other apps
