That's not a bug, its a feature, long pressing the home button while on the lock screen turns it on, doing it again turns it off.

I have the home key disabled to turn the flashlight on but it still turns on and doesn't turn off at all until I turn the phone off
Freeze it in Titanium BackUp for now
I freezed it and that worked thanks

You have to be on the lock screen...and there is a separate option from the one your looking at.

tried searching various places and could only find apps that turn the screen off, but nothing that would turn it back on.
is it possible to have the screen respond to touch while completely off? or is setting the brightness super low the only way to do it?
thanks.
Why would you need/want an app to do this?
saves the battery and power button.

Yes, I use the App called: "Lock Screen"
Well, it only works to lock and shut off the screen...hopefully giving your power button a longer life time!
Just my two cents, but it seems to me that in order for the touch screen to be responsive when it's off, it would technically have to be on...right? Which would waste the battery.... I don't think the power button on the Fire is so fragile that you need an app to turn it on when it's off. If you're rooted though, you should try "button savior" in the market. It basically has virtual "home" "back" and "power" buttons.
So when my phone is locked, the home button turns the screen on. This is fine, I often use it to check the time and such. However, to turn the screen back off I have to hit the power button.
Wondering if there's a way to set the phone so that the home button turns OFF the screen too (when phone is locked)? Possible?
Now, I'm no developer, but I'd have to say not possible. Unless someone can script an app to only work when the phone is in lock mode, but that just seems doubtful.

Same situation as you, found the answer in another forum.
Ive been using this app to turn off the screen by the proximity sensor, so far working great.

you can try a custom rom to get it

It is possible when you giving up actual home button function.
Then you have to enable on-screen navigation bar, instead of hardware physical button.
This thread is over 2 years old guys. Also, if you run AOSP, double tap the status bar to turn the display off. Works on SlimKat, should be like that on CM too.

So a few days ago my phone went full retard on me for some reason and I had to fully reroot, bootloader unlock and recovery.
Anyway before all that happened the back button light on the phone stopped turning on, while the home and recent apps button still turn on. The button per se still works, but the light doesn't turn on, any help or ideas?
Try this app out... Maybe you can force it on?? Or at least turn the other lights off so it doesn't look like you have a burned out backlight all the time

Hi there
I was trying to turn on camera flash to use it as flashlight. However, i can turn it on but unfortunately not turn it off completely.
Power Toggles and Notification App (paid one, can't remember the name exactly) seem to turn it on but not turn it off completely. I tried turning off using ADB but no help.
Any app or anything that is working for you ?
Please share
Try the "Tiny Flashlight" app's widget.
Also the Power Toggle for Flashlight from Clean n Tweaked ROM works for me

When you press on the bulb for a little longer you can even turn on strobe mode.
Hey Guys,
I'm on ViperS 5.1.0 and tried this Quick Flashlight thing. Push Power button while Screen off to turn Flashlight on.. Didnt work for me.
Have someone tried this?
and..
I use Buttons Notification for 2 apps. The Buttons blinks for one minute. It's OK. But "Button Blink" won't let the phone fall asleep as long as you have deleted the Notification.
Hope you know what i mean..
edit: cleared notifications and wakelock still remains.. Doing restart right now......
You have to hold down the power button. As soon as you let go of the power button, the flash light goes off.
