The Camera LED Flash on my Xperia PLAY flickers intermittently. Various online forums showed that many people are experiencing the same problem with their Xperia phones as well. They manage to narrow down the problem to a link between the 3G network and the LED flash.

I have found a reliable method of reproducing the problem without third party applications. This video shows the steps required to reproduce the problem.

The first part of this video shows my attempt to reproduce the symptom twice, reliably.
Then starting at 1:31, a full Factory Reset is performed.
This is to prove that the flickering symptom is not caused by any third party applications.
The Factory Reset ends at 4:58.
I then performed the same steps to show that the problem persists.

Stuffs needed to reproduce this problem:
1) Xperia PLAY phone
2) Latest firmware (Android 2.3.4)
3) MicroSD Card (Inserted)
4) SIM Card (Inserted) with active HSPA connection

I hope Sony would provide a fix for this.
