The video calling app doesn’t seem to play too nicely with Android 12 as growing complaints over on the Duo help forums have led to a community post from Google addressing the problems (via XDA Developers): One annoyance is that this persists even after attempting to clear the app cache and re-installing the Duo app from the Play Store. This audio bug stops when the person ends the call and re-opens Google Duo. It seems that when calling many people are having audio issues whereby they can hear the person at the other end of the line but they cannot be heard. A prominent issue that some have encountered is an audio bug in Google Duo, which luckily is set to be resolved soon.

If you need any further help to fix android flashlight, do let us know in the comments below.Android 12 might be the biggest update to the OS for some time, and it appears it has had a knock-on effect with issues and problems cementing a rocky start to life for the update. If your Android flashlight is still not working, then it’s probably a hardware issue (which is very rare).

The above solutions should fix Android flashlight if it was a software issue. Once reset, you’ll have to set up your phone again. Your Android phone will restart and the whole reset process should take 5-10 minutes.

There are hundreds of flashlight apps available on the play store, but I’ll recommend you to give Flashlight Android app a try. If the flashlight isn’t working from the notification bar button, then using a third-party app may fix it. You’ll have to again manage all your preferences after this process. Note: If you have custom app permissions and disabled unrequired apps, then all of your settings will get reset. Confirming the prompt will reset your app preferences.

App preferences include app permissions, disabled apps, and default apps, etc. There is also a possibility you might have tweaked app preferences in a wrong way that may cause the flashlight to stop working. Just uninstall recently installed apps one-by-one and find the culprit. If the flashlight starts working in the safe mode, then some recently installed app must be interfering with it.

Once inside safe mode, turn on the flashlight from both the notification bar button and the camera app. There is no single way to access safe mode on Android, you can check this guide to find the exact method required to access safe mode on your Android device. If a particular app is preventing the flashlight from working, then it should work in the safe mode. Similar to other operating systems, Android also has a safe mode that prevents third-party software from interfering with the phone processes. Note: This process will reset all your camera app settings, so you will have to adjust them again as you prefer. This will reset your camera app, which may fix flashlight not working issue as well.
