you can try turning the phone to silent mode by holding down the # key until the message says silent mode is enabled. If that doesn't work then the phones file system will need hacking to enable silent camera shutter.

or flashing with a different variant of the firmware (such as that which is in your sisters phone) that allows silent mode using a service like davinci or wotan

@belial: do what max_wedge said. turn your phone into silent mode. if this does not work you should check the firmware version, customization, etc. to see if both are the same. this is a firmware issue for sure. you will have to do what masseur said to solve this
cheers

I flashed my phone to latest unbranded firmware, in Generic Australian Trade custom pack, and shutter still not silent. The only choice in firmware custom pack is the country/region, so I would have to find a region where shutter silencing is still legal (in Australia it's illegal to produce a camera phone with ability to silence the shutter)
I'd like to keep the region to Australia (though I suppose it doesn't really matter as long as I've got the english language). So I'll probably give the cmz_config hack a go, since after you've installed the modified cmz_config (using davinci), you can modify the File System without needing to use davinci any further.

you get the sound, even if it's in silent mode, for legal reasons. so you may change your firmware and customization.

As was described in another Esato thread, if you take the picture while in a phone call, the shutter sound is almost silent, it's re-directed to the earphone/headset, at least on my K800i with R1JG001. I believe this is a bug, actually, the programmer did not expect the user to use the camera while in a call, an that may be corrected in newer FW releases. |

actually it's been this way since K700 or earlier. So I doubt it's a bug. I heard somewhere that it's to protect hearing (so the shutter doesn't go off in your ear). On K750 it had a thunderous shutter noise, so that would make sense.
Also, there is no sound in the earpiece when you take a photo this way (I just tested on my K800) What you are hearing is the actuall physical shutter sound (on K750, which doesn't have a physical shutter, there is no sound at all) .

Interesting... As I was testing this on my K800i, I did hear a tiny shutter sound, and I just guessed that it came from the speaker, and did not check it any further, but it might as weel have been the real shutter sound, or maybe the xenon flash that made the noise. |

in the k800 there is an option if there is no shutter sound

Nope, at least not in mine. It is possible to choose between a couple of different shutter sounds, but it cannot be turned off. This may be related to different variants in different markets. Mine is a generic north europe version. |
