A custom flashlight app on my GS4 lets me turn it on and off by shaking from the lock screen. Super useful since I don't have to look at the screen or press anything more than the power button.
I just press and hold the volume up key while my screen is off to turn on my flashlight. Press volume down to turn it off. I think my method is faster. Just another reason why I choose android.
Do you even own an iPhone? If not, don't talk shit. I always use the volume button to take photos, and it doesn't block the camera lens. It's incredibly useful.
İdiotic iphone problem and buggy solution. They (apple) came with that absurd idea to shoot photos with the volume key (which makes you hold the phone in a way that your hand may probably close the camera lens) but they couldn't figure out a real user friendly to this problem.
It's a video that the title clearly says how to turn it OFF quickly and u expect anything else? Idiots, I always found it annoying too turn this feature off thanks for the tip cnet way quicker
Doing this method requires more concentration, to not open the camera app. If you do, then you'd have to close the app the next time you unlock. Thus you're not actually saving any time.
Just to point out, this isn't a "feature designed by apple". To use the camera app, the flashlight needs to be off in order for the camera's flash feature to work, so since you're "activating the camera", the phone shuts off the flashlight. A bug, or smart coding? Probably the latter, either way at least it doesn't crash the camera app cough cough 😉
My device was permeantly unlock by an expert…he"s Hex_hacker09 @!G

I wish u could ask siri to take it off…
This is stupid. Jailbreak users use activator.
I wonder why it does that?

Kinda make sense, if the flashlight is on, attempting to turn on the camera turns the flashlight off.
Smart.
Wow that area you was in Donald needed some cable management lol!

android have thah for years bulshit iphone
Even faster way that I learned:
Throw it as hard as you can at something else until it breaks.
you need to get out more ….
My One Plus One all you have to do is draw a V in the screen and it turns the flash light on or off… Great…
Should be able to use the volume down to turn off torch.

And this folks is what happens when news networks run out of content.
But you took 50sec of it by watching the video. Even more by typing this message to. Keep up the videos. =-)
Up next on cnet: How to quickly unsubscribe from these stupid videos.
In my android phone i just have to press the lock key and it turns off…
It just turns back on for me.
Hey look! CNET's data center!
50 seconds wasted
Lmbo whyyyy
Thanks Donald. You saved me one second of my life all while wasting a whole minute. LOL!
