Problem with flash after update

BrightonCards — Fri, 06 Nov 2015 23:13:44 GMT

Had to update my Z5 yesterday, never like updates always seem to mess something up. This time it is the flash, the light comes on randomly.and cannot be.turned off without a restart. Once happens can not use camera or flashlight both say it is already in use or error and to close before trying but there is no app open. As far as I know only have the two that use it, it is a pain as runs battery down fast, gets hot and if is in jacket not going to know for long time.

This only started after update and phone is only 2weeks old.... Is this a known issue

Try this, reinstall the latest update with PCC, it should smooth things out.

Hi @BrightonCards,

That sounds strange. Before doing a software repair you can also try clearing data for the Camera app, Settings > Apps > All > Camera > Clear data. Restart your device after doing this and see if this behaviour remains or not.
