Flashlight app for 640?

[Stevebez]

Hey everyone! I picked up a Lumia 640 (not XL), and I absolutely dig it, but I can't seem to find a flashlight app that works. Please help!

this is the best for WP8 (imo): Flashlight 10 https://forums.windowscentral.com/e...2Fflashlight-10%2F9wzdncrdng7f&token=POT3W9SX


edit:
In Windows 10 it's available in quick setting, but I don't recommend to upgrade to W10M Insider if you using it on your main device or you don't have enough patience, because W10 is still have a lot of lag and bug.

In W10M it's standard.

Just wait for W10M as flashlight is in the drop down action center - along with a lot of other new goodies.

By the way, somebody had noticed that flashlight won't work when you are charging the phone battery. So keep that in mind if you check out different flashlight apps.

Flashlight XT. It's simple and doesn't require your microphone.

I second Flashlight XT. Coming from Android I don't appreciate using apps that openly request access to other areas of the device that aren't necessary for the one function you are looking for. You don't need access to my contacts, calendar, microphone, etc. - you are a bloody flashlight. Just shine.

Thanks everyone, especially Diamond67! I was plugged in while I was trying flashlight apps, which was the problem!

P.S. How do you quote on this forum? EDIT: nevermind, the button was gone, but now it is back.

Torch Pro works on my 640. It shows as a paid app but if you read the description they say the free trial lasts forever and you only have to pay if you want to support them.

You gotta check this one out. It's the coolest flashlight app in the Store.
And you can blow it to turn it off :evil:

You're welcome! And AFAIK this feature is not mentioned in the official Operations Manual (surprise...). Maybe it should be, in order to avoid confusion...? :smile:
