Can you please do a little test?

1. Plug your w10m device in for charging

2. Keep it in the plug (do not plug it off) and turn on the flashlight

3. Did it turn on?

Another bug?...............jeez...

W10m is starting to be more like a zoo of insects rather than a "smart"phone....

Also works fine on my Lumia 650 too.

I wonder if it doesn't work with phones upgraded to W10M or if it's really phone dependent.

Well, need a little more info from Bruno. Not sure what he's running.

Works fine on my Lumia 535DS too.It is a Microsoft branded phone upgraded to W10 from 8.1

 

[BrunoMG]

Lumia 640 DS

 

[BrunoMG]

So basically its an issue in non-x5x models?

But 535DS is not a x5x model. Flashlight is working while charging it.

Nope. I don't have the issue on any of my handsets running W10M - 535, 735 and 830. Maybe its just a 640 issue?

 

[BrunoMG]

Ok....so basically it's a random bug?
Happens in some phones and doesn't in others?....

 

[Reeshabh Ranjan]

It is deliberately made to not turn on the flashlight while charging. Some hardware purpose. Same with me on my Lumia 640. Anyways I jumped to android previous June or something.

 

[kaktus1389]

Works fine on my 950 but I know it didn't work on my 640 XL.

 

[envio]

No problems on my 950.

 

[xandros9]

I haven't used it in months (someone else is using it) but my Lumia 640's LED flash was completely disabled whenever it was plugged in on Windows 10 Mobile.

I smell a 640-only problem.

 

[jeffchapik]

Doesn't work on my 640 either. If I turn on the light first and then plug it in, it turns off. I never noticed this before.
