After the recent iOS upgrade, my iPhone flashes every time I receive a text message, and I can't find a way to turn it off. I checked the setting but there are no options where I can disable it from flashing. It is very annoying.

This is a feature introduced with the iOS 5 update.
Accessibility improvements:
- Option to light LED flash on incoming calls and alerts for iPhone 4S and iPhone 4
- Custom vibration patterns for incoming calls on iPhone
- New interface for using iOS with mobility-impairment input devices
- Option to speak a selection of text
- Custom element labeling for VoiceOver
You can change the setting in Settings -> General -> Accessibility options:

1Why is the L-----+----R slider filled in on the left hand side? This makes no sense.... Commented Jan 23, 2013 at 19:55

@adolfgarlic Hey, that's a really interesting question! I never thought about that. My guess is that it's probably easier to instantly grasp where the dot it. Without the blue line you only have a whiteishgrey circle on a whiteishgrey background. You should post this as a question on ux.stackexchange.com. (ux <-> user experience). If you don't want to, I will ;)– gentmattCommented Jan 24, 2013 at 10:50

Also why do you have to press on the slider buttons (like the custom vib and LED flash ones) this confused the carp out of me when I first got an iphone trying to slide the darn things over... Commented Jan 25, 2013 at 13:10
