- ChrisySeeker of the WayWell we can see what's on your mind, QuIcKsIlV3r!
I don't think there's a camera mute app yet for the Torch. Here's a discussion http://forums.crackberry.com/f35/cam...9800-a-535837/.
I use QuickLaunch but that's doesn't seem to work on Torch. I'm sure it's being worked on.
There's many reasons to want to mute the shutter sound, besides it just being plain obnoxious sounding. I can assure you, I don't take "upskirt" pics. There are no laws against muting the shutter sound. Almost al dumbphones have this option.

You're making an assumption about someone you don't know and are showing more of how *you* think. My first thought is taking a pic in a quiet place, like a museum.
I don't think "the majority of people asking to mute...is for perverted reasons." I think you may be projecting here.
If fact there are NO threads on CrackBerry by anyone asking for a camera mute app because they want to take upskirt pics. So I'm not sure what you are basing your assumption on. It's just false.

Cool thanks, hopefully something comes out soon?
I guess I'll just have to make a voicemail call and then take a picture for now.01-02-11 07:01 PMLike 0 -

How about a restaurant? Do you really want to hear people's camera's making noise as they shoot pictures of their friends. Honestly I cannot believe the stupidity of people today. I have an idea, why don't we require people to announce there presence loudly whenever they may encounter another person who may not know anyone else is around. That should solve all of society's woes.
On another subject, had the OP searched, they would have spared us the rehash of this subject.01-02-11 09:44 PMLike 0 - See this is the idiotic mindset of people today. Most cameras today make no sound. In the past we used to use rangefinder cameras like Leicas when we wanted less noise than a DSLR made. The reasons for that are simple, not to annoy people in public settings like a theater. Let's say you are watching your child in a school play and you want to take a picture. Now let's say a hundred parents are watching their children and want to take a picture. Let's now imagine the cacophony produced by a hundred phones snapping pictures.

There is no third party app or natively to turn off the shutter sound.01-03-11 09:06 AMLike 0 -
To the OP...I used to use this free camera mute app on my 9700. If I can locate that same app I'll come back and post a link to it.01-03-11 10:03 AMLike 0 - I'm pretty sure the camera flash will be just as disruptive in the instance's you stated. The camera shutter sound is barely inaudible, the flash on the other hand is annoying but the camera takes horrible pictures without it, yet no one complains about the flash. Every time there is a flash someone looks.

How dare you make perverted photography synonymous with this post without anything suggesting that was the purpose. i hope you know how ignorant you come off. im not trying to bash or anything but your post was way out of place.

I am a facility manager and take pictures of electronic items in the office to post online, in forums, for feedback on repairs. In the past I had to find a camera and get the photo from the Micro card. Now I do it all with the phone much faster. The down side is the camera noise is a distraction to coworkers.

- The perverted comment was a bit over the top, as has been covered many times, there are legitimate reasons for muting the camera, however there are some countries, such as Japan, who do require by law that camera enabled devices make some sort of noise when a photo is captured by them, and this is why BlackBerries (along with Android devices, iPhones, WP7 devices and even dumb phones) make a noise when a photo is captured.
The call to voicemail option should do just fine for most people, even though it is partially inconvenient, and I'm sure in time an app will be released to allow the camera to be muted.01-04-11 03:13 AMLike 0
