Turning off the click noise?

[noodle15]

I saw a video that a guy turned off the clicking noise on the storm 2, when he was using the screen no noise at all, how do you do this? is it easy?

I would like this also. The clicking is annoying in a meeting.

yep, its possible to do

requires some voiding of the warranty to do it

That's an old video from before the phone hit the market....

Damn to bad there is not a option, I am a S1 owner and if that was possible with an easy click, then I would be even more sold to buying

Care to explain ?

You have to modify the phone physically. Its a physical noise.

well obviously....
I have no qualms about voiding a warranty.... make with the instructions already

I think if you run a search you will find it in the forum, I remember seeing it at one point.

I am guessing that eventually it may become an option "Stealth Mode." Ha ha ha, but I'm surprise that no one has created some 3rd party app that can stop the electronic click (I guess it's too embedded into the software).

RIM if you're listening, "Stealth Mode" was my idea!

BT did a nice little write up over at The BlackBerry Zone

There's no way you would be able to stop the clicking noise with software. The sound your hearing is the screen going up and down when you click it therefore its a hardware thing. Now if in the future RIM put a feature in the OS that enabled you to switch b/w clicking the screen and using it like a normal touch screen device that would solve your problem. But the sound doesn't really bother me and you knew it made the sound when ya bought it.

Wrong. Notice that when you hit the lock/power button, the screen gets stiff and does not move? that is software.. The screen is completely software controlled. Look at BOLT and Opera... They do not use the click at all.. so it is possible that someone could make and app that does not require clicking, however, RIM would have to implement that into the OS to make it OS wide, instead of just one app.

Basically, the only way to get the phone to not have to click, is if RIM codes an option for that into the OS. Which is probably unlikely. Who knows... I am sure you can screw around with the engineering screen on the S2 and change the numbers for the screen force, and make it so you just have to touch the screen for it to register as a click..
