Is there any way to mute the snapshot noise for when you take a picture? I've had too many embarrassing moments where I was supposed to be in a quiet setting and then people all hear me take a picture. Help?
At this time, there is no way to disable the sound effect. I am quite sure that RIM did this on purpose to prevent the "upskirt" types from having too much fun.
Searching helps eliminate the flooding of the boards with redundant threads. Always search before you start a new thread.
As you've learned, there is no way to turn off the shutter sound. You can, however, take a picture during a call and avoid the sound. If you make a call to say, your voicemail, then push the camera button, your phone will ask if you want to continue the call and go to the camera screen. If you select "yes", you will be able to take pictures without the sound.
I will probably sound like an ***** but here goes... where is the search function? I have been thinking it would be so much easier if I could just search.
Use the search function to avoid "redundant" threads? Where's the fun in that? Might get a bit boring reading nothing but old threads, waiting for a new development to post a brand new, unsearched thread on. ;-)

Its in the menu bar near the top of the screen. Its right next to New Posts.
If you click on the Search Forums tab, it will give you the search box. Enjoy!!
lol i just try to cover the speaker with my finger to the best of my ability when i take pictures in class/on the bus/ on the train. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Yeah, a forum with no new threads would be boring, but on the same note, a forum with constant repeats of the same threads over and over again is annoying.
so u mean to say that even though it is starting to warm up, and there will be plenty of shirtless men outside jogging, playing basketball and what have you, i cannot take pics of them to look at all day without them knowing??
I have to agree with D-Town. The search function here leaves a LOT to be desired. It rarely pulls up even half the threads that contain specified keywords.
That said, sure, ppl should try and find an already existing thread to answer their question, but its not like a requirement. A forum can be as redundant as its moderators allow it to be.
Finally, who's to say when I should or shouldn't be able to snap a pic with my phone? Certainly not the company I gave my hard earned cash for their device. They have no right to dictate my photographic motivations, and should recognize such and just have a silent option. I don't like the sound. That's why I don't want it there, not because I'm doing anything "bad".
So, RIM and forum post Nazis...get over yourselves.
