Mine started doing it when I updated the os. I have been going in the profile options and turning off the LED on everything (expect BBM, texts ect). It seems not to do it much anymore. How this helps.

I think RIM should not allow apps to flash the red blinky unless the user specifically approves the app for red blinky!! I love my BB, but this "feature" drives me nuts.
