Galaxy S5 Camera Flash

The flash has just started coming on when my phone is on standby and flashes for no reason. Does anyone have any ideas why?

Hello There ,
I would be happy to assist you with your Samsung Galaxy S5 camera flash issues. 
There are a few things I would recommend trying:
Do you have Flash notification enabled?
Settings>Personalization>Accessibility>Hearing. Is there a check next to “Flash notification”?
Is your phones software update?
Settings>General>About Device>Software update
Have you cleared cache from the Camera App?
Settings>Application Manager>Camera App.  Force Stop the app, clear cache, reboot the device
Hope this helps!

  • Galaxy S6 Camera flash issue

    Has anyone else experience the camera flash issue that is posted on the web? I'm experiencing it on my Black 64GB version. Never had an issue until I opened the camera app for the first time..It was at night so when I turned the camera off I kept noticing this faint light on the back. I thought it was just the brightness of the yellow of the flash because it is bright, but when I went pitch black, I can still see the faint glow of the camera flash. It will not cut off. I've turned the phone completely off and it still shows....It is definitely draining my battery and it's starting to bother me. Just curious if anyone else noticed. According to the web, samsung is aware and working on a fix for it.

    No problem...No, I was not able to resolve issue. The temporary fix is to
    wipe the phone and then not use flash on your camera or the flashlight; for
    me that defeated the purpose...I just continued to return the phone until I
    received one that doesn't have the issue...took me 2 exchanges but I think
    I've found one that doesn't have that issue.

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Camera Flash and Focus Issues

    I have 2 issues with the Camera on my Note 3:
    1) The camera flash stops working on my Note 3 even when using another application like Flashlight. I need to turn off my phone and turn it back on for it to start working.
    2) The Camera takes a long time to take pictures and the pictures are often out of focus.
    Anyone else have these issues and know a solution?

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to use an off camera flash or remote flashes on a Rebel T5? (This is not a T5I)

    I have a Rebel T5 I just bought a few months ago. I like it as it is a great entry into DSLR. I will be looking at upgrading in a few months. But in the meantime, I just bought a speedlight kit (not Canon) and it came with 2 speedlights and the remote trigger and 2 remote receivers. Is there a way to enable the camera to use off camera flash? i was able to put one of the flashes on as an extrenal flash but I have not been able to figure out how to enable off camera flash.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you Skirball. It did come with a trigger. I must not have had the correct settings. When I first got the set, I put the trigger on the camera and hooked the lights to the receivers and it did not work for me. I thought I needed a special setting. But I must have had the receivers set to camera instead of flash. Once I put it on today, it worked and triggered both flash units. Incase anyone else has this issue, the kit I bought from Amazon is the Altura 2 flash kit that came with 2 speedlghts, the trigger and 2 receivers. I paid $169 for it. But when I hooked them up today and had the receivers set to Flash, they both were triggered when I pressed the shutter button.
    Thank you again.

  • I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    i downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
    If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
    If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

  • Q10 I turn Camera Flash On but it Doesn't work IN ALL MODES

    Q10 I turn Camera Flash On but it Doesn't work IN ALL MODES

    I know, especially stupid that it doesn't work in stabilisation mode as its often that mode used in lower light situations that would benefit from the flash... have no idea why BB doesn't allow US to chose when we want a certain function.
