[DEFINITIVE]Sony Ericsson K700i Thread

[dunkster]

Anyone know if there is a way to turn off the annoying sound that plays when you take a picture? cheers. Loving the phone so far, got some good bluejacks with it yesterday as well.

[Elmo]

theres no setting to turn it off

but if your on r2c

goto profiles and edit meeting or one of the other ones and put all sounds as mute

it will mute shutter sound (sounds more like a clap)

but u have to putinto that profile if u want shutter sound to be silent

in new firmwares you cant even do that

its law i think

to stop people taking photos of things they shouldnt without people knowin

[dunkster]

i understand the reason, but the sound is reeeaally annoying me. its not like digi cams make a noise, so why outlaw that.

Because you can tell if someone is trying to take a picture of someone with a camera but its not as easy to tell with a phone.

[dunkster]

fair enough, i still think its silly.

[+John Teacake MVC]

Think of the Peadophiles then its not that silly.

[dunkster]

no it aint that silly, just sad that its come to this.

Put it on silent... Press and hold c or #

[+John Teacake MVC]

Yeah true but its something that had to be done with the incorportation of camera into phones.

[Sporkguy]

I'm sure there will eventually be a way to mute it, but yes, for now we have to put up with it :/

Strange, It works on my k700 and all the ones Ive used. Are you definately putting it to silent? Does the mute icon appear? Is your k700 branded, *possibly* the brander has messed it up.

[dunkster]

So i put it on silent, and then take a pic normally? It is definately on silent. It has minimal branding (o2) and i dont think theyve really changed anything.

It's all down to the firmware. Obviously the phones you have used have the older firmware, which was ridden with bugs in my experience. Newer FWs don't have the ability to disable the shutter noise, annoyingly.

[dunkster]

:( oh well. I'll just have to live with it then

Im using R2L, the latest available on the online update for original firmware...

[Elmo]

r2aa is the newest one that has been realeased

but they withdrew it from se online update

but its still on total multiserver

[Sporkguy]

Yeah I'm on R2AA (de-branded my orange phone using totalmultiserver)

I'll confirm for you right now, that its impossible to mute it on R2AA

It's not the battery's fault unfortunately, otherwise yes we'd be handing out new batteries to all our k700i customers.

You CAN have a firmware update, however, you'll need to go to an official service centre. Vodafone usually handle all official SE service updates, so if you can convince the bloke at your local VF Service Centre to upgrade your phone, then good luck ;)

[+John Teacake MVC]

Look on my very first post theres a Postal Address, Post your phone away with a note saying you want the firmware updating.

[Sporkguy]

Quick update.

I've just ordered a new fascia for my k700i, it's a black one, with the retaining screen area staying silver as it was originally. I'll post pics once i've fitted it... looks sweet by the preview :D

and ok so it's not official, but we'll see what the quality is like.

[dunkster]

cool, where you order it from?

[Sporkguy]

eBay mate.
