New Mi9/MIUI 12 bug where camera and torch keeps turning on by itself repeatedly

[carlocrighton]

This bug occurs day to day while the phone is sitting on the table.
Its frequent, random and [my theory...] may be triggerd by Bluetooth signals and/or app permissions.
Upgrade to MIUI 12.0 did not solve it.

Is it possible that you have the turn flashlight on gesture and you are double clicking the power button? Is it happening only in pocket or while in use? Whereas for your theory just turn off BT and for the other one check on a clean install. This is all assuming you are using xiaomi.eu custom ROM and not stock since this forum is for the custom ROM. For stock seek support on the Global Xiaomi forum.

Can confirm, flashlight turns on by itself even when phone is laying on table.
I think it's related to ai button.
I had camera gesture on it (double press). Removed that gesture and camera pop-ups are gone.
Flashlight (long press) haven't tried to disable it.

Thank you so much @Iguaan and kudos. You solved it for me, I had spent a lot of time in forums trying to id this issue over the last 9 mths. Much appreciated.

Worked also by disabling flashlight gesture? Haven't still tried it myself.
