Description
This flashlight application enables you to quickly toggle the led light on your phone using the power button. When long pressing the power button in the lock screen, the torch will start burning. This application also works perfectly together with the quick toggles on your device.
Important: If your device automatically disables apps if they aren't used for sometime, you have to disable this for Power Torch.
Features: * Switch on/off the camera flash from the lock screen using the power button * Switch on/off the camera flash from the settings * Has multiple torch modes: Flashlight or Strobe * Shows a notification when the torch is burning * Turn torch off using the notification * Contains a widget that can be used to toggle the torch * Has haptic feedback when toggling the torch, option that can be configured * Torch can go out after timeout, default after 2 minutes, setting can be changed * Background services have been written so they don't use extra battery * Material design * No unneeded permissions * No Ads
How to use: * In the lock screen, long press the power button to toggle the flashlight. * Blacklist this application from the task killer (if you use any)
Permissions: * NO internet or camera permissions, this app proves that this is possible! * VIBRATE: to do a small vibration when the torch is toggled * RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: to be able to start the service that detects the power press when the device starts
There is an option inside the application to send me feedback.
Recent changes: Version 3.2.1 (2018/10/27) + Second long press power button when logged in now toggles the torch * Safeguard application active is now faster This application depends on API's that are depreciated since android 8.0. The play store might not allow newer updates of this application for this reason. Unless some rules are relaxed, this might be the last update we can provide for Power Torch :-(

Works with Note 4 This is a simple little app that actually does what it's supposed to. It'll turn on/off the flash from the lockscreen by long pressing the power button.
★★★★★
Love it Really good app. Long press power button to turn torch on from lockscreen is really handy.
★★★★★
Works just as it says. Very convenient! If you use a Pixel/Pixel XL long pressing the power button is how you bring up the Power Off/Restart menu. When on the lock screen you now get the flashlight function instead of that menu BUT when your screen is unlocked you still get that other Power menu. So it doesn't really take away anything.
★★☆☆☆
Works once after opening the app, then lock the phone. Doesn't work again until app ran again. Checked background services and it's there but still doesn't turn LED on. Verdict: useless!
★★☆☆☆
Problems with Droid Turbo Causes phone & power button to become unresponsive. Causes the gesture activation of camera to show "camera busy..." error. Love the idea, wish it worked.
★★☆☆☆
Turns on randomly This is s great idea. But it constantly turns on at random, when the power button is never touched. Very annoying!
