yo, is there a way on w800 (or k750i) to record conversations without the phone sending beeps down the line to the person youre talking to? i've tried putting it into silent mode and it doesnt work... still beeps every 20 seconds

prob not b/c its illegal to record someone with out them knowing.. x.x only way is to edit the firmware..

Posted by mo*dman
it was the same with turning off shutter sound tho right, and they did that?

Posted by Yellow-Snow

You make a phonecall (preferably to a free one), then open the lens during the call.

Silent call recording can't be done without messing with the firmware, but when I tried it yesterday I just told the person on the other end that my battery was low.

Is there a specific reason that you don't want this to happen?

@ jenbones... you can take silent pictures by selecting the silent mode in your SE

@goner - its not that simple for everyone. in some cases - depending on where you purchase your phone, it can be in silent mode and still make the shutter sound when taking the pic.

@jenbones, it has been discussed here before, but i dont have the direct link :-\ sorry. someone may be able to give it to you.

Hi, I have a w800 (it was a d750 but i've flash it) and now if I set the phone to silence mode the camera does NOT make any sounds and also when I'm recording a call there are no "beeps" at every 20 seconds down the line - the firmware version is R1L002 Eu1 .. hope it will help you somehow .. see davinci's website for flashing phones ..

Hey u guys here is the overview of this whole conversation that i already know.
If u Hold Down the hach button (bottom right corner), and it shows the text SILENT MODE ON.. then everything goes silent....
taking picturs
making a video
recording someones conversation while talking on the phone
audio recordings
reciving calls
transfering files between other devices (computer or other cells) via Bluetooth or infrared etc
...EVERYTHING

If u HAVE the latest Firmware R1BC002 (that can be downloaded from Sony Ericsson website).
but i think u can still do this with other Firmwares too (i hope)

seus wont update my phone i still have R1AAOO8
why doest orange just let me update?

The reason some phones cant take photos silently (even when the phone is on 'Silent') is it is illegal in most countries to have a photo taking device that doesn't make a noise. On UK Firmware, you can take silent photos but not, for example, on Hong Kong firmware

ok ive been reading around and it looks as if the w810 still doesnt turn of shutter sounds in silent mode, but w800 can (also the k750)
i just ordered my w810 so i cant confirm this, can anyone else?

Posted by Derfel
As it has been said many times: In some countries it is illegal to record / take photos etc secretly. So in those countries the phone will make somekind of sound even in silent mode. If some pervert wants to take silent photos etc then the only smart way is to flash the phone to another region. I personally can not understand all this fuzz about taking photos or recording a phone call secretly.

Posted by Derfel
Seems that there is another easy way to remove camera shutter sound. Recorder beeps maybe too. Check the thread: FAR plugin for internal file system access using DCU-60. Found there also atleast one good reason to remove the camera sounds, not all are perverts afterall

Posted by riksun
u can use FAR to modify cunstom.xml then u can take silent pics in silent profile.
<camera>
<suppress-camera-sound>true</suppress-camera-
~~~was "false" here
sound>
</camera>
