Since I updated my iPhone 5 to IOS 8 (and 8.2) when I try to open Control Center from my locked screen, the display goes black but what i tried to open (calculator, camera or timer) is running in the back and the phone does not freeze, but if I want to access either of those, I have tu punch in my password and then open the app.
This thing does not happen on my wife's iPhone 5 or my iPad Air.
Any help ?
iPhone 5, iOS 8

I really hope that the OP has figured this out in the three years since they posted.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Did you check Settings>Control Center>Access on Lock Screen and make sure it's set to ON?
Thank you for your reply.
I forgot to mention that I already did reset the iPhone several times, and I also re installed everything from scratch and nothing happened.

Thank you for you reply.
I forgot to mention that I did check all the configurations and they are all OK, don't know what's going on.

Just a note:
I had the same thing on my 5S. I went to Settings>Control Center>Access on Lock Screen and it was on. I turned it off and back on and CC worked fine after that.
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I did that a already, and I tried it again after I read your message.
The only way I have found to get rid of the problem, is to remove the password and letting no password on.
Weird huh ?
Thaks for you all. Reseting and changing the "access on lock screen" worked for my iPhone 5.
I have exactly the same problem. It can't bypass the security code. Only the flash light works from the Access control. Did you find a solution?

Finally! This worked, when nothing else did.
