Has anyone had the same problem I'm experiencing on the K750i.
When I switch it on and use the camera, the button on the side of the phone to take the pic's should have a flashing light under it. For the first 5 or 6 uses of the camera the light doesn't come on under the button, then suddenly it does.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Try switching your K750i off then on again and check, I'd appreciate it.

Possibly a software glitch? I don't think i've read any posts concerning this problem before.

W800i - when I switch the camera on, the button light flashes 5 times, then never seems to do anything else. Switch camera off and back on, and it flashes, but I've never seen it light at any other time.

It's normal for the light to only flash a few times when it does come on, but mine doesn't even do that the first 5 or 6 times I use the camera.

Any idea's?

sounds faulty. Another thread mentions this same thing, he got the phone fixed, apparently it was faulty.

This is really starting to bug me now, dunno why so much.
If I switch the phone off then on and slide the lens cover back, the first 6 times the light under the button doesn't come on. After that it does and is fine thereafter.

Surely that isn't a fault because if it was it wouldn't work at all right?

Well all the K750's I've seen have flashed every single time you open the shutter.

If it's designed to flash EVERY time you open the shutter but doesn't, then it's faulty.

It is certainly possible, intermittant faults are one of the joys of electronic repair work mate

I've just been to the shop and I was shown another 2 brand new K750i's and neither of them had the light come on immediately - again it took at least 3 or 4 goes to get it to work.

Sooooo, wtf!?

dunno, maybe it's a weakness that only some camera's have?

On the same subject but not: How do I disable the light? Expose the innards of the phone and bend the led bulb off or what?
