best way... mute the phone aka silent mode.

otherwise, try this...
go to apps drawer (heh heh) --> settings --> sound --> volume
then reduce SYSTEM to 0.

but honestly, i'm not sure what else is affected when system goes to 0. i have this setting and my alarm, notification, call volume, etc is still ok.

this complicated audio setting is one irritation i mentioned earlier...

ok..i'll when my manager not in the office..kekeke

btw...settings can be reached from menu > settings..no need to go apps drawer

then i also dunno leh.. probably only way is to set phone to silent mode, although this i heard for older ROMs, the camera shutter sound is not tied to the phone ringtone, but newer ROMs do.. i.e. this method on older ROMs don't work, newer ROMs works..

i don't really mind the camera shutter sound, but i love the volume keys to focus and snap pics.. and the hack comes with the no sound hack as well.. so.. bonus lor..  thumbup.gif

hahaha... still the same number of keystrokes.

menu --> settings --> audio
applications --> settings --> audio

but your method will be faster if the settings is not on the first page of the apps drawer. anyway, i didn't know about the menu --> settings... now i know... wink.gif

ya... would be good if we could setup some profiles. with my old dumbphone, i could set profiles to enable certain settings, etc... not sure if got such thing or not on sgs2 --> without having to root, etc.

Tuned the system sound to 0. Still there's the shutter sound. After work I'll try the volume ace.

i was wondering whether anyone broke their back cover?

I know i know, they said it's flexible. I was just wondering whether it's real. cuz I never dare to try with my phone.

And mine is white... The surface is different. So I'm not sure whether it's made from the same material.

I don't have the courage to try sad.gif

Wow, the thread is moving soooooo fast. Now I won't be able to trace back who replied on my queries.

Anyway, I just wanna share with you guys what kind of problems I'm having.

1. The Wifi - Sometimes it just doesn't load and I had to disable and enable the wifi. It's like giving it a wake up slap.

2. The camera shutter sound - I've tried setting system sound to 0, installed camera 360 unticked the shutter sound. Didn't help too.

3. Battery drain - I have to charge twice a day. If I do not want to root my phone, is this normal? About 10 minutes ago, I offed my wifi, charged to 99%, and now it's 98%. Can any sifus here help? I wanna know what can I do to make full use of my battery.

That's about it for this moment.
Thank you all.

And one more, I almost forgot. Sometimes when it loads, the screen went blanko, as in a dark screen. Sometimes with the notification bar, sometimes without. Pressed back, sometimes it didn't help. Had to press the power button.

It's when loading the apps. I only remember talkbox it kinda laggy. Widgets??? sorry, kinda new to this phone. I only know widgets are those on the front screen. But are those apps which I put on front screen consider widgets?

1. not happening to me..
2. download the soundless version (yes, completely quiet, not even focus sound).
get rooted, rename the file "Shutter_01.ogg" in /system/media/audio/ui using root explorer.
3. if you have IM programs / whatsapp/ viber / fring / nimbuzz, etc installed, consider freezing / unload them. staying online in wake mode would prevent deep-sleep mode hence eats your batt like biscuits..
*
Is there other way without rooting?

bout 3. I usually don't keep my talkbox on. Just my whatapp on. So if I off my data and wifi, the whatsapp will still eat up my batt?

Tried already. Doesn't work. sad.gif

1. This wifi problem got few solution.
    - try reset your router first, to check the problem is not about the router,
    - (if don't have access to router), change regulatory domain in setting>wifi setting>advanced to 11
    - if dun have regulatory domain in advanced wifi setting, try flash KF1 or KG6(moden ONLY)
    - if still cannot, upgrade to KI4.
    .. I solved my problem by flashing KG6 modem. And after update to KI4, the problem oso gone.

2. dunno
3. KI4 power usage is leaner.
*
Where's the regulatory domain?
in my advanced settings, there's only 1. Wifi Sleep Policy 2. MAC Address 3. Proxy 4. Port 5. IP Adress. Then the rest are IP settings only avaialbe if i tick 'Use static IP'

I'm still very new with this phone. Don't know what is root, kernel, what flashing, kies, etc. >.<

Updates on my problem with my S2, it gets hanged. The screen totally down. Pressed back button but not working. I had to press the middle button to get out and used task manager to end the program. Anyone have this problem too?

Haih..I still can't disable my camera shutter sound. sad.gif So I must do rooting is it??
Will rooting bring me other problems?

have you updated your phone to the latest firmware via Kies?

before you root, please bear in mind that root will void your SME warranty. but, as mentioned by other user, if you are lucky, the SME technician wouldn't bother to check whether your device was rooted or not.

please go through the 1st page of this thread. it will helps a lot..no need to do other research yet coz it will get you confuse. just read all the items in 1st page...

I don't want to root. But what's the use of updating the kies? What's kies btw. lol
Need to root then only can update???

Define superdrain. Give facts not just general statement like this.

Hey, i think you better upgrade siyah kernel to 1.7.2 if you have not. A few people reported the same case on 1.7 where suddenly device hang when using. 1.7.2 suppose to fix that.

I dunno how to update lahhhh...does updating void the warranty?
