@scapevlocity
do you also have the ORANGE version or is it on the unbranded too??
and someone know where to find firmwares
edit:
I found out that there are to states of LED's flashes:
1. Normal - (when * is pressed in cameraview)
2. Extra Bright - Just before the picture is taken..
Well, when i toggle between video/foto (step3 TS), it seems that suddenly the LEDs stay in state 2 instead of state 1, and after that it'll flash on/off...

i have a w810i and i have the same fault. I have even tried going through to organiser and tools menu to turn the light on and it still flashes on that aswell as both modes on camera. I previously owned two other w810i's and they had the same fault. These two had to be sent back due to two buttons. the walkman and the right direction button, just stopped working so watch out for that aswell.
Cheers guys

mine just starts flashing on and off out of the blue. doesn't happen all the time, but it's kind of annoying still.
no new firmware yet. mine is unbranded, FW R4CF002.

okay, so basically this is a major bug which should definetely be solved in an upcoming firmware.. Someone should report this to SE, if they haven't found out yet...
If all w810i's have this bug, then it would be useless to bring it back to the shop to get a new one....
the pain is unbearable -Need New Firmware!! :|:|:|

@ doming , i just tested this on my w800 , as you requested in the w800 thread , i didn't noticed any malfunction , so it must be a problem for the w810 only .

Same for me. Got my 810 last thursday, and noticed this happening when i was seeing what it could do. I'll be patient and wait for a new firmware, cos its not the end of the world to me.

Apparently its not a bug. Both my sim free W810 and my grilfriends 02 branded W810 have this led flashing problem.
Apparently it happens to let you know that the extra light is not needed from the flash as there is enough light already.
This came from

when I contacted them.
Strangly though. When we use ours in low light or darkness the light does flash but stays on after a while.
