After a restart the flash still did not work, however it did work on my flashlight widget.

Even though no one encountered this problem, I thought I'd leave the solution that worked for me in case any people are Googling to get here:

The support tech had me reset the phone by taking the battery out. That did not work.

Then they had me go to Settings, Apps, All Apps, Camera.

In the camera app section, press "Clear Data".

This fixed it.

Thank You So Much.. It works!:D

My flash works until it takes a picture. It works on the widget and everything, even works while focusing the camera. When it is done focusing it just dies. I tried anything from restarting it to clearing the apps data but it just wont fix itself. Any ideas please...

Hi there, so are we talking about the same galaxy s5? I don't see any APPS/ALL APPS. There's application manager but even there there is no ALL APPS?

The Application Manager is the same as Settings>Apps. Depending on the phone and OS version, you might see different categories (like User Installed, System, Disabled, All Apps), or you might just see one list. If you don't see Camera, tap Menu and look for a Show System option.
