How to Troubleshoot the Flashlight on a Motorola

Our phones increasingly offer us better features, not only when we analyze their technical specifications, but also when we analyze all the functions they have to make our lives better and more comfortable. This is the case of Motorola mobiles , and their gestures to turn on the flashlight thanks to Moto actions .

This is a gesture that we have already talked about previously, with which we can turn on the flashlight at any time, however inappropriate it may be, something we can do with a simple turn of the wrist. But it is not the first time, nor will it be the last, in which this gesture does not work as we expect.

Doesn’t the flashlight turn on when you want?

The Moto actions of Motorola mobiles offer us the possibility of having a simple gesture, a turn of the wrist, to turn on the flashlight. This logically makes the use of it much easier, especially in those unusual situations in which there is little light and we have a busy hand. In addition, to be able to activate it in the quick shortcuts we will have to unlock the phone and in general take more time to turn it on.

Therefore, it is an excellent solution that it is activated with a simple gesture. Now, there are times when for some reason, as so often happens in the computer world, this gesture stops working and the flashlight does not turn on when we wait. Well, if this is happening to you in your case, it is best that you do what we tell you below, since the problem will probably be with the Moto Actions app.

Clean the app completely

This gesture is carried out thanks to the action of another application , such as the Moto actions, which is the one that includes all those utilities with a Motorola phone that allow not only to turn on the flashlight in this way, but to silence with gestures and many others things.

Therefore, what we are going to have to do so that everything returns to normal is to restart this app , which although it is apparently running correctly, nothing is further from reality. So do the following:

  • Enter the phone settings
  • Access to “see all applications”
  • Enter the “Moto” app
  • Click on “Force stop”
  • Now go into “Storage and cache”
  • Click on the “Clear cache” button

Now restart the phone forcibly, pressing the power button for at least 10 seconds . Once you restart the phone, the gesture of turning on the flashlight should work normally in any situation.
