Question

Why is my iphone 4S camera light constantly on?

Jan 8, 2015 2:35AM PST

The camera (flashlight) light on my phone never shuts off, I turn my phone off and back on and it still is on, what can I try to get it to stop?

Also, try turning on/off the auto-lock function, on smaller increments (either one or two minutes).

Sorry, this question might be ridiculous but where is the (or what is) the on/off auto-lock function?

Scrolling down a little, you should see 'Auto-Lock'
