Bricked app after strobe activation #33

Via Google Play review:

"Avoid the interval (strobe,) all together. I tried to use it and the app was stuck strobing and not reacting or changing to any input, I couldn't even turn it off. Nothing would make it stop except straight up deleting the app from my phone. Whoever makes this app you need to look at that cause it was incredibly frustrating and headache inducing, should be what phones come with. [...]"

What I think is happening is it is bogging down the flashlight API and it causes a delay that happens when cascading amounts of requests are sent so I did it on my phone and what happened was is basically the UI would lag a little bit and I think that their phone just has less performance so it wasn't able to keep up with all the requests for quickly turning the flashlight on and off and it caused the strobing as you mentioned from the review. Just a FYI this was transcribed by my voice because I am currently in the car.

In Version 2.2.0 I've changed the input limits.
Can you guys check again if the issue still persists?

Much better! Device doesn't have the same lag as 2.1.1! Thank you @cyb3rko!
