I have absolutely no idea if I'm right about this, so this is pure speculation...but Google may have "hard-coded" a shutter sound to the camera due to security concerns about people taking surreptitious photos. In other words, we're all stuck listening to stupid shutters sounds now because a few criminals and perverts behave badly and the powers-that-be think the best solution is assume that the entire population consists of criminals and must therefore be treated as such...
...but I ***readily admit*** that I could be completely wrong about that. I have only looked at the camera UI a tiny bit so far, and that was before 1.5 anyway, so I'm really not up to speed on the current camera UI at all. I only mention it because I have heard of similar measures in other cases: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h414/show http://www.thetechherald.com/article.php/200905/2860/Camera-phone-predators-targeted-in-shutter-sound-bill http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/01/congress-gets-bill-to-make-cell-phone-cameras-go-click.ars --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
