Motorola Q - Disabling Camera Shutter Sound??
I've hunted here and on google and I cannot find a way to disable the shutter sound. Has anyone done this on the Q yet?
...
I would like to know how to do this too. But my guess is it cannot be disabled. I noticed that many new phones with cams are locking the shutter sound.

Actually - you can do it - but you have to be a bit creative about it.
One way is to hack the registry and set the camera shutter sound to "*none*" (with asterisks). Lots of people have already done this for the annoying (and deafening) startup sound.
As for me - I don't like messing with the registry- so I did it another way:
If you goto the file manager in your phone (or use the Active Sync 'explore' link - you can expose virtually every sound on the phone and make modifications there.
The key is -while in File Manager - goto "Menu->Options" and enable viewing of hidden files and system files.
After you do this - go to the "Windows" Directory in the File Manager and you will see tons of "*.WAV" files.

Very ****in creative. I like that. Makes way more sense than going into the registry. Don't know why I didnt think of it lol.
...
tried it and the system does not let me change the file name. any thoughts?
...
I am trying to rename the "ShutterSound" file and it will not allow me to. Says files located in ROM cannot be renamed. Please help!
...
I finally got rid of it!!
I downloaded the trail version of Reso Editor to edit the registry.
Once inside the registry go here
Hkey_local_machines/system/pictures/camera/oe m
Then you must re-name the shutter sound to *none* with the astricks.
Then your good to go!
Make sure you just rename the shutter sound.wav to *none* leave everything else the same!

Download Resco editor
go to Hkey_local_machines/system/pictures/camera/oe m
then change the shutter sound to *none* with the astricks instead of shutter sound.wav
yes I did this and it works.

This is just one of the hacks out there, there are others for the Q for instance shutting off that annoying message that says "message Sent" when you send a text message or the start up tune when you boot the phone. there is a big list of available hacks and tweaks at www.freewebs.com/smartq check them out..
