I recently found this resolved a similar problem that I had.. I use HideCallerID to block my number to numbers not in my contact list. I found that this had changed to block numbers IN my contact list. When I corrected this the torch and flash started working properly. Weird!!

SOLVED :) I use HideCallerID to block my number to numbers not in my contact list. I found that this had changed to block numbers IN my contact list. When I corrected this the torch and flash started working properly. Weird!!

Thanks for this. Neither option resolved the problem. :- The torch did work briefly a week or so ago but it would not switch off. When I then restarted the phone it did not switch on again. I assume there is a conflict with another app but I can't determine which one!!

My s5 mini has recently updated to Marshmallow (Android 6.0.1). Since then the flash for the camera does not work and the torch widget also does not work. I have exhausted solutions found on line apart from carrying out a factory reset which I am reluctant to do. Any suggestions welcome!
