I do believe that their isnt a way to get rid of the sound but i may be wrong
and newest firmware is the problem is believe enforcing some law here or there so they dont get sued or something
Take a look their if your unsure ask them they are well clued up on their.
btw, as far as i was aware phone flashing and firmware upgrading can only be done by the manufacturer themselves
and to get the hidden menu up its
>*<<*<*
and on some netowrks they wont let use your your own mp3s as ringtones, thankfully not mine!
whilst the video makes a gnetle beep and thats it, scary really
no i have a k700i
and silent doesnt work, since i dont like using ringtones, they all sound stupid, and i cant think of any good intros to songs
ive tried all the options
Hold down the # button and the silent mode will step in. The phone won't make any KA-CHE noises, then.
There isn't a specific option for turnin jus the camera noise off, tho.
EDIT: i know this is an old topic but i did a search for my new phone...
I have an unlocked k700i from tmob and just tried that, it doesnt work. Ive trawled the web and their is only ONE way to stop the very annoying KA-CHA sound... by flashing your phone to different firmware.
How fucking annoying though. Even the t610 could be put in silent and it didnt make a sound :rolleyes:
This sound.... Its noisier than you'd think when your holding it up taking a picture.
I turned it off on my 6230 straight away cos it sounded fucking stupid.
The k700i is the most ballsed up phone in history, so I can't explain why some phones work the "cheat" on silent mode and others do not.
What do you mean by that ?
I'm just curious
It had major issues, namely with the O2 network - people aren't receiving mms/sms sent from a k700i or sent to a k700i and people are still being charged. This is a known problem but O2 haven't bothered informing people.
Secondly, the original batch were buggy with their firmware. For example, delay's regarding menu navigation, poor screen resolution, poor battery life, the camera was naff too. a lot of people have problems whereby in a call, there's a delay before you hear anything (so they could have said "hello" a lot before you realised they'd answered).
The quickshare badge on the front of the phone will come off - loads of people round here have been telling me about it; and mine came off too.
The phone chassis is so flimsey it scratches easily.
The value of the phone has depreciated rapidly.
Yeah i knew about that, caught it on watchdog couple of weeks back, did a lot of searching for info on it.
Certainly ive not had anything like that except for the poor battery life and the delay in a call, although it was only teh once so far, but havent had many calls on it yet.
I picked up mine for a good price all-be-it it was second hand, does have a good scratch in it on the back but thats it. Was looking on ebay for a new housing but wont bother with doing that atm now.
I actually notived the poor battery life in my phone as well. Was a bit disappointed over that, but I do still love it. Have no other problems with it.
Yes it has an ugly sound when taking a picture, but that don't really bother me.
How often do you have to charge your phone atm ? Im having to charge mine almost everyday, it can go for about 2 days but by then it has such a tiny amount it starts warning me theirs not much life left in it.... with mine it really is quite bad i need a new battery i think
Since I do use my phone quite a bit I find I have to charge it nearly every day. Though I like to have the battery go dead completely and leave it off sometimes, hoping that would also help. But compared to my other phones, I do find myself needing to charge it more than usual.
Its actually true ( supposedly ) that if you let your battery drain to teh point where the phone turns itself off and give it a full charge, from time to time, you can increase battery life, probably not by much, although with all the phones ive had bar this one so far that theory has certainly worked for me
A new battery won't fix the problem with the k700i - firmware updating will.
The Car Phone Warehouse or a Sony Center should be able to do that for you.
I tend to charge my phone every night if I use it because it can drop from green to red in a few minutes when in a call (see my above point about not having a real time display). I like to leave it to die every few months - saves electricity for one and it's better for the phone cycle.
As for orange..I'm not sure. I suppose so, bar the O2 messaging problem I outlined
