How To Disable Camera Sound On Your Nokia

By - Vaibhav Sharma On 13 July 2009 127 Comments

I am sure all of you at some point or the other have wanted to turn of the camera/shutter sound while taking pictures or videos for a variety of reasons. While on a handful of product codes you can simply turn of the ‘Warning Tones’ from the profiles menu to silence the camera tone, on most handsets that tip doesn’t work.

How To Disable Camera Sound On Your Nokia

Enter this exceedingly small patch (under 1KB) that you can install to get rid of the annoying sound. There is no need to ‘hack’ your phone for this to work.

  • Install it and turn off the ‘Warning tones’ from the profiles menu. (If the warning tones are already set to off, then turn them on and then off).
  • If the camera sound is still not off, restart the phone once.

I have tested it on my N97 and E75, but the patch should work on other devices too. Enjoy.

  • shanghai said:

    E71 user: I got the mute-camera.sis from symbian website, received an email 2 hrs later to confirm my intention to let them sign it, i gave them my phones serial number (the *#06# thing) and received another email with the download link to the signed mute-camera.sis file. Then…

    … I simply used Nokia PC Suite and dragged and dropped that .sis file to the phone, it confiemrd to be installed, accepted, good…

    … but the shutter still made noise, even re-start the phone, going to silent mode, switch warning tone on and off, – it still made noise…

    Back to PC Suite again: do not use the drag and drop function but go to “install applications”, go to the folder where you stored the signed mute-camera.sis file, select it, click on the arrow to start installation, the phone will ask you “install application?…” and tell it “continue”. It installed quickly, no troubles, I tried, and it worked in general mode with warning tones off. To test it I turned warning tones on and it made noise again, turned warning tones off and the shutter shut up again ;-)

    summary: I’m a happy owner of a “quite cam E71″ since ten minutes and want to let you know about it. Special thanks to Symbian but this talking about three whatever zip files is confusing people, just tell others to let them get the .sis file signed by you, everything is fine…

  • PR Singh said:

    Hi,

    Pls let me know the link from which i can download the mute-camrea.sis file. Bcos, i too hv a e63, d camera sound annoys me. Pls dude!!

    Cheers!

  • Babul said:

    thanks man ! it worked. i got it signed 4m symbian signed page. its much simpler(and in english !).

  • Joe Gabby said:

    The red light is annoying while taking close-up. It make everything red. I found a patch call “ccam” which can disable both the shutter sound and the red light but only for old model nokia phone. It does not work for N97! We hope that some white knight will appear to solve this problem shortly ! As I always take picture for small object. The red light make every picture with red tone. I hate the red light!

  • DonAeinis said:

    Succesfully disabled! I’ve never had any phone with the ability to turn off the camera sound since N70. Now to turn the red recording light. Anyone know how?

    Works fine on my E52

  • MY said:

    The trick works on my Nokia5530 after restarting it. Sweet!

    Well, here’s my question: Before installation, there is a warning message saying “The application is for developmental use. Resume its installation might harm your phone”. I didn’t memorise the exact words but more or less those were the key words.

    So, is it really harmful?

  • altered said:

    I can’t install this app. It says that the certificate is invalid, has expired. I just signed the app now using symbian opensign.
