Random vibrate?

[tsekh501]

Does anyone have this problem?

My phone would vibrate randomly. Very short vibration, kind of like haptic feedback when typing on the keyboard. Not very often, but once or twice every few days (that I have noticed). There would be no notification or led blink, and I don't think I have turned off any sort of notification beside vibrating for any app...

Usually sound plays when my phone is dying, maybe you have it on vibrate so its a small vibrate to let you know that power saving has come on? I have no idea, just poking in the dark here.

I happen to have a similar issue. Don't know if it relates but mine happens to vibrate when pushing the volume buttons. Strange habit of mine, pushing the buttons of my phone when it is in my pocket.
Don't know if this helps you in any way but thought I would mention it

If you press and hold the volume down button, the phone will silent itself and turn itself into "vibrate mode", but that's not the case here.

Maybe but I'm not sure. I remember a few days ago I simply had my phone laying flat on my desk when I was working. It vibrated so I picked it up to check for message, only to find that it vibrated for nothing. There was nothing on the notification bar (there would be a triangle with ! if power saving is on). Weird

It doesn't do that when locked

Put me down for a "me too". I'm getting the random vibrations once or twice a day (that I notice, at least). I had the same thing happen, too, that you described -- my phone was on my desk at work and then randomly did a short "half-vibrate" -- but there were no notifications or any reason it should have vibrated. Must be a bug...

Then your vibrate is not random.

Is it in your pocket or in your hand when it vibrates? I have heard of this strange phenomenon where you get these phantom vibrations on your leg where your phone would be resting against your leg in your pocket, but when you check your phone, there wouldn't be any messages. It used to happen to me all the time after I got a phone that would vibrate with incoming calls/messages, lol. It sometimes still happens, but not as much anymore. The human mind is so fascinating!

Edit, sorry, i didn't see the post where you had said that it was on your desk.

It's weird... After I posted it here, I have never experienced any random vibrate anymore.

I've had it but only while using go launcher. Uninstalled it and never had it again.

Hrm, i'm just curious now if this is only me or some others are experiencing this too. Recently I flashed HyperSensation CM7 rom and I'm using FauxClock's kernel. Before my phone would not vibrate when I put it in silent or vibrate mode. All of a sudden yesterday after I rebooted a few times, the vibrate started to work in both vibrate and silent mode. Now it won't stop vibrating for no reason. It's a double vibrate, and sometimes I would receive at least 3-4 vibrates in consecutive times. I check my phone, my notification LED does not light up, I don't have any messages coming in, there are no Facebook notifcations, I don't have any e-mail's coming in.

Also whenever I reboot my phone and it finishes rebooting and shows me my lockscreen, it vibrates 2-3 times of the same doulbe vibrate rhythm. Does anyone know where I messed up while I was playing with my settings? My phone does vibrate when it's on loud when I receive messages or calls or other functions like my alarms. It just didn't vibrate before when I put it in silent/vibrate mode. Now it won't stop vibrating and this has been going on for 14 hours. I'm going nuts!
