Why won't my Flashlight app stop running???

[Bognerman]

Hey all,

I have seen this issue pop up often enough and I have struggled with this issue with my Samsung Galaxy S5 since day one. I have tried multiple flashlight apps but everyone ends up turning itself on and not turning off unless I restart the phone. And, sometimes that doesn't even work.

Has anyone come up with or heard if a solution. It is frustrating because I find having a Flashlight app to be useful. I ended up just uninstalling in my last app and leaving it that way.

Are there any bug fixes or apps that don't cause issues?

Have you tried Torch - Tiny Flashlight?

Hi, what makes that app not take over the phone like the others? Does it get around the bug?

Actually yes, that one failed for me too.

Now that I look, yes, I tried that one. Same problem.
