But at some point, your kids need to sleep, and a brightly-lit room is not the best environment for that. One solution is to use a simple nightlight. As a matter of fact, it’s such a popular solution that manufacturers often build them into other household products. For example, there are many HEPA filters that come with built-in night lights.

    To use the flashlight, open the Quick settings panel by swiping down from the top of the screen using two fingers. Next, tap the Flashlight icon to turn the light on or off.

    Samsung galaxy s8 won't turn on but red light is on?
    darrick_torp
    about 2 years ago
    If you see a red light, your battery is fully discharged. If the red light is flashing, there isn't enough power to turn on. Charge your phone for at least 30 minutes before restarting. If you don't see a battery icon or red light after you plug in your phone, the issue could be with your screen.

    Why is the green light flashing on my samsung galaxy?
    trent
    about 2 years ago
    This is normal and to be expected. The proximity sensor has a number of functions including turning off the screen during a call to avoid accidental touches or when your phone detects that your face or ear is close to the screen when making or receiving a call.
