Like most cellphones the Samsung Blackjack has a built in camera shutter sound that goes off every time you snap a picture. It's easy to get around this feature though if you want to be able to take pictures silently. First make sure your phone is unlocked. Next grab a copy of this wave file and s
ave it your computer as camera_shutter_1.snd . Using Active Sync with your Samsung Blackjack hooked up to your computer, copy this file over to the Windows directory on your phone. If you are in the right location it will ask you if you want to replace the existing file. Once this file is replaced there should no longer be any sound when you take a picture. If this does not work for you try restarting the phone and also make sure you have "Shutter 1" selected as your Shutter sound in the camera application (Menu->Options->Camera). In the same menu also remember to set the Sound for Zoom and Brightness to "Off".

Thanks.. But I ran the unlock on the computer sucessfully but I still can not save over the old file or delete the old file. Still states that I don't have permission. Any ideas... I may try reg change to see if that works.
Sorry for the additional comments... when i did the reg edit it showed the value as being correct for unlocking it... .any help would be great.
Thanks.
The file is in ROM. There is no way to delete it, move it, overwrite it, etc. I don't know how any of you got this to work.
You can place it on an sd card and then use resco explorer to move it to windows.
Just letting everyone know, a federal law was passed some time in 2007 requiring all camera phones sold in the United States to make an audible sound when taking a photo or video.
The law applies to all models introduced or redesigned after January 1, 2008.
The law does NOT prohibit owners from disabling the sound following purchase. But this does not legalize photography where already banned.
Already, in the US, photography of some government buildings, airports, rail stations, mass transit vehicles, bridges, tunnels, schools, places of retail, and museums is banned or restricted. Additionally, private property owners can set their own regulations. And filming one's private parts ("upskirting" and "downblousing") is banned in all 50 states.
Law enforcement and security personnel are now more alert than ever regarding the illegal use of camera phones, and are stepping up arrests for violations, some of that may result in long prison sentences.
These laws are not posted everywhere, so it is the responsibility of the camera phone's owner to know the law.
