Hi all,
Recently got my phone back after a camera failure repair and ever since the red LED light keeps coming on whenever my fingers go anywhere near the heart rate monitor/flash window on the back (which is frequent with how I hold the phone)
Does anyone know what's going on with it and how I can stop it?
I've disabled S Health in the hope that this would have some effect but it doesn't and I can't find anywhere in the settings to change this.
Thanks
Lorraine

Does it come up when you have the camera open? If so, there's an option to use that as the camera trigger. That might be why it's flashing.

There's a known issue between Google Fit and the Heart Rate sensor on the S5 after it's been updated to Lollipop. Don't know if it's an issue with Google Fit or the carrier's ROM, but it's there.
