Flash goes off when receiving texts

Another thing I have noticed - sometimes when I receive a text, the camera flash goes off
Anyone else have this issue?

@martin,
The LED-on-message is a feature that can be enabled/disabled in Settings/General/Accessibility.
However, if you don't have this feature enabled, there's a bug in your phone...
This is the feature description, taken from the latest iPhone User Guide:
If you can’t hear the sounds that announce incoming calls and other alerts, you can have iPhone flash its LED (next to the camera lens on the back of the iPhone). This works only when iPhone is locked or asleep. Available for iPhone 4 or later.
Turn on LED Flash for Alerts: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > LED Flash for Alerts.

  • Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification?

    I have an iphone 4s.  Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification?  I keep it next to my bed at night and keep thinking there is lightning when something comes thru.  LOL

    Go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn LED Flas for Alerts to Off.

  • T5i EOS rebel - spark/buzzing sound when flash goes off!

    Hi everyone, I just got my T5i and it makes a really strange spark sound when the built in flash goes off. Is this a faulty camera?

    No, that's not a problem or fault with the camera.
    That's normal. It's a very short duration, partial power flash that the camera fires before the full power flash, to measure the distance to subject and amount of light needed by the flash when it fires. A "pre-flash", if you will.

  • Flash goes off randomly

    My iphone flash goes off randomly. Not the flash alert for texts and calls. Just randomly. It will stay on. I have to hit phone to make it go off. I read online it's probably a short in the phone. What should I do? Will apple fix it?

    Yah, I'm sure it would. I found the answer a nano second later:

  • My camera flash goes off without me using the camera?

    While using my Galaxy S-4 once in awhile the camera flash goes off while reviewing my emails or during something other than using the camera Has anybody have the same problem over the past month?
    pb1945

    I haven't seen it reported on the S4, but several S3 users mentioned it after the latest update that phone received.  You might try going to Settings > Accessibility > Flash notification ... if the box is checked, uncheck it.  If it isn't checked, check it and then uncheck it.  I'd suggest then restarting the phone.

  • My screen goes blank when receiving or making calls.

    My screen goes blank when receiving or making calls.  Cannot get back to the tiles window until the other party hangs up.

    Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info, then select Power from the left hand column of the System Profiler. Copy and paste the Battery Information back here.

  • When FT is full screen, camera goes off when swiping to a different app

    When FT is full screen, camera goes off when swipping to a different app or the desktop. This is frustrating to the other person. We were having a discussion and I said I wouls look it up and when I swipped to Safari, the camera went off. It makes the other person think the connection has been lost. Anywhere to report issues like this to Apple?

    In reading other threads, I found a few that recommend a hard reset to solve the issue.  I have tried it, and thus far haven't expereienced the problem again.  Hopefully that's it then

  • My iphone 3g running ios 4.2.1 goes off when it is idle

    i need help,
    My iphone 3g running ios 4.2.1 goes off when it is idle and i have to reboot it before it starts work.
    it does not go off when it plays music..... or plugged into the PC.

    It's likely running slow because of iOS4, not because of apps being open.  Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    If still a problem restore from your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    You'll most likely need to restore as new to get it running as good as it can.  A 3G will never run as good on iOS4 as it did on iOS3.

    Chances are you saved the file as a jpg -- which does not support transparency.
    Save the file as a psd or tiff and see if that solves the problem.

  • My display goes off when Battery being charged on Acer E5-511 after upgrading to Windows 10

    I upgraded my window 8.1  to Window 10 on Acer E5-511 machine yesterday.  I notice that when I switch on power to charge its battery, a beep sounds and display goes off. when power is again switched off the display comes back with a beep again.  However, when the machine battery  is allowed to charge for some time, either it goes to hibernation mode or stops working since display does not come back even after switching off the power supply.  This peculiar problem did not existed when I had used this Notebook with windows 8.1 for past eight months.   Can any one help me to solve this problem as i am being forced to charge the battery only when Notebook is not powered on.
