Hi All,

Im opening this topic because i havent seen a good enough thread regarding this subject.

My issue is the shutter sound/noise on the K850 and the fact that you cannot turn it off.

I have seen one review where the guy had a setting "off" on his camera shutter sounds menu. However on my K850 there is only Sounds 1 - 4 but no OFF option.

The shutter sounds are really annoying! and i cant find any way of turning it off, even with the phone in silent mode the shutter still sounds!

With the old K700 you was able to get a program to edit the phone structure and delete or edit the shutter sound, however those programs do not work with the K850.

Any one know of ANY way of sliencing this annoying feature? Possbily a firmware version that allows the OFF mode?

If it helps, i am on o2 UK with firmware version: R1CA029

Help?

your only choice at present is to use davinci to change the firmware to another CDA. This costs 10 euros.

read Sainty's posts in this thread which gives the same generic firmware I used and which can turn the camera sound off

I was reading that thread, didnt know it allowed you to turn the camera shutter off.

Great news!

So to confirm you used davnici to flash your phone to:

K850i R1CA029 CID52 K850 1201-9794 CUSTOMIZED UK/ BLUE WESTERN-EUROPE

And then you can use the SEUS to update to the latest firmware v37?
