Have any of you guys had any luck turning off the annoying camera shutter sound with the new firmware (R2L)?
Before I upgraded the phone I could turn it off by selecting the "Meeting" profile, but now I'm stuck with this annoyinh *KRRRRRTCHACK!* sound no matter what I do.
I hope they remedy this in the upcoming firmwares...

Same problem here:( Very annoying! Really hope they gonna fix this issue in the next firmware update.

I have the R2L firmware, and if you put the phone into silent mode, then no sound comes from the shutter mode, so the issue is fixed in R2L.

I think depends on where you live...
HK's R2J and R2L can't turn off the shutter sound

you lucky guyz ... when i switch to the camera it shuts down after 1 second since i've updated to R2L , so i can't use the camera ...

@ChE
If i were you i would take it back to a SE service center. Maybe something went wrong when upgrading.

ChE, I had kinda the same problem after upgrading to R2L.
When turning on camera it went back to main display after 1 second.
Also animation stopped in the middle of a gif animation.
I went back to the service point and complained. They tried a master reset. Reburning the software a few times (Also older versions). No luck!
So they sent the phone to SE and after a week I got a new K700. It had version R2A so they had to upgrade it to R2L.
Upgrade now went OK. So now I have a new phone. All seems fine now.
Good luck!

All I Do is press the "MORE" Button and select Turn ON Silent... That's It No Sound Whatsoever

Yes, but apparently some phones with R2L continue the shutter sound even when in silent mode, that's why so many people complain.

I have a k700i with R2L and without a shutter sound. Don't know how I did it, because I don't know how to turn it on :/

I don't know about the firmware upgrade. Mine is still R2A but the shutter sound turns off when I put it to silent mode.

I have R2L and still its sounds, even if I put it on silent mode

I have no problem with the sound except for the volume of it, its TOO LOUD, if SE would lowered it a bit I would be pleased.

I don't know if it's true, but a Japanese friend of mine said that there was a case in Japan where a school teacher was caught taking pictures with his phone cam of ladies wearing mini-skirts in a quite perverted angle, was sued and was charged a fine of a large amount of cash. If I recall correctly US$1M equivalent. If it's true, this sound may have been intentionally placed in an effort to discourage his disciples to do the same aside from annoying us.

I saw in another forum that you can solve the problem by taking the picture when you are making a call (for example, 1800---in US). I have not tried it out by myself since my firmware is currently R2E011.

Have you tried to turn the volume down (that worked on some R2A units).
Posted by prospect
For R2A unit, you just just put the phone into silent mode and take pictures without a sound.
Posted by seth_redbeta
I have latest firmware and I cant seem to be able to turn the damn sound off. It is a bad sound and very annoying when you want to take pictures!!

Even when you take a picture during a call as I mentioned?

Even if it works, don't you think it's a bit too inconvenient?

Well, it is at least better than not working at all.

Not on all R2A (depends on regional settings).
