Um, can't you just put it on vibrate or silent and save yourself $3.95???? Just a thought.

What it does exactly is lower the sound of the shutter. If you listen closely you can still hear it.

It shows that this may not be compatible with CDMA XX30, has anyone had success with it on an 8130 or 8330?

I call my voice mail and turn the volume all the way down, then take a pic. No shutter tone ;-)

Actually, this doesn't work that well. If I call my voicemail and turn my volume all the way down, I can't hear a shutter tone. With the BerryAnnoying software, I can still hear a slight shutter tone. I kind of want my money back now =/

Hello and thank you all for your comments and e-mails. I am pleased to hear many of you are enjoying all of these applications. BerryAnnoying specifically aims to resolve a long desired ability by many users to mute the camera shutter sound by offering a convenient and extremely simple to use application. All you have to do is replace your camera convenience key with BerryAnnoying and you never even know you are using it.

It is true that a very slight shutter sound can still be heard, but because there is no lesser volume than what BerryAnnoying uses (RIM calls it "mute" even) and because I feel the sound is so faint you'd really have to be holding the phone next to your ear or in area of very unusual silence, I felt comfortable describing BerryAnnoying as effectively muting the sound. I think most people will find that even in quiet places such as libraries, meetings, etc that they will not hear the sound.

At $3.95, or cheaper than many themes, I really wanted to make this very useful application available to almost anyone. Plus, if you have multiple phones, you are free to install it on the devices you own. I apologize that I did not make this as clear earlier. Please feel free to contact me via Crackberry or the support link anytime.

Thanx a77boy. Your cure really works. Have a Corona on me!

Just letting everyone know that you can put your phone on standby by simply holding the mute key. Then, you hit the mute key again to bring it back.

Thats exactly the problem I have - my sleeping 6 month-old...that shutter is a killer...of course, I discovered the voice mail trick about a month ago.

The warning rings true for cdma users, at least sprint. Oh well, can still use the old voicemail trick without problems. Cdma users, you need not download, it will not work. Thanks for the app though.

Oh no! Now most pervs are going like this feature.

I have a Blackbery Curve 8330 through Alltel, and BerryAnnoying does not work on my phone.

Does this work with the blackberry storm???

I agree with annoyedcrackberryuser(unverified)...WHY does everyone try to make this about being a perv...at a wedding..a recital..at work..in church..the movies (previews)..taking pics with a clicking noise is rude and annoying and I don't feel like having everyone look at me and my g/f take a picture because they hear the noise... END of story..everyone isn't trying to take dirty pictures... I question the people who keep making those comments.

I'm going to purchase a Crackberry Curve 8300 CDMA phone when it's released on Metro PCS in the spring. I don't want a shutter sound simply because it's annoying and I think it's my right to mute the sound if I want to.

On an old CDMA phone I had, I was able to get rid of the shutter sound by using BitPim and uploading a modded camerasound.dat file to the phone. Does anyone have anything like this for the Crackberry?

Thanks.

Never knew about the Voicemail trick - tidy!

Voicemail trick worked great!

Confirmed using a BB Torch running OS v6.0.4.45

Put phone on "Silent". Not Vibrate but Silent, then dial Voicemail and hit Mute. Either on-screen Mute, or top-right Mute key.

While Mute will turn off the Shutter sound, if the phone is NOT on Silent you'll still hear an audible tone as the phone dials the Voicemail system. Having the phone on Silent silences this "dialing Voicemail" tone.

Press the Torch's sidebutton to activate the Camera, then hit OK to confirm "Continue Call & Exit to Camera".

You can now take photos without annoying the rest of the audience, waking the baby, scaring the dog, or alerting your far-too-cute children that “I’m taking photos of you being cute & adorable!” which always results in them stopping whatever cute thing they’re doing and either mugging for the camera (nowhere near as cute) or standing there motionless (not cute at all).

If you find it distracting you may also want to turn off the LED Flash.
