Over the past week or two, I've been experiencing the torch/camera light turning itself on for no apparent reason. This happened after the latest update.
One UI version 3.1 Android 11 Baseband version G988BXXU6DUB5 Kernel 4.19.87-20939239 #1 Fri Feb 5 17:54:48 KST 2021
At first, I thought I was just accidentally swiping down the quick panel and hitting the torch button. So I rearranged the Quick Panel layout so that the Torch button is on the 2nd screen (swiping right) reducing the likelihood of accidental swipe/tap. This did not help at all and I kept wondering maybe it was a hard button accidentally being programmed to turn on the torch. i.e. hold up volume, down volume or power key. None of these turn on the torch.
I did notice the torch would turn on its own while I had it on my hand. Could it be shaking the phone causes this behavior? I'm not sure.
While slipping on shoes one day and holding onto the phone while leaning onto a wall, I noticed it turn itself on again. No shakes. The phone was just within close proximity to the wall in my hand while I was leaning on the wall.
Is anyone else experiencing this or guess as to how it is turning itself on? This mystery has me stumped.
do you have the flashlight on your lock screen on the bottom left? I noticed after the update it has become insanely sensitive and keeps going off for me
I totally missed that bottom left button on the lockscreen. WHY in any reality would anyone want to put a torchlight button on the lockscreen especially if it is prone to be accidentally tapped?!!!
Is there a way to remove that torch button on the bottom left?
That's probably why I never knew it existed! I only looked at the bottom left of the lockscreen when you said there was a torch button there! Haha. Thanks again for pointing out the obvious.
