Why does my phone randomly vibrate?

[scribbles395]

My phone randomly vibrates without any notifications or apps running. It only happens when the screen is off. and yes I know about the feature which vibrate if you have a notification once you touch the phone.

Where do you enable that feature?

I was gonna post a thread about this issue earlier today lol. Mine vibrates when ever I touch it. If it sits on the dresser or in my pocket for a bit and I go to grasp it, it will vibrate. I don't touch any buttons yet and it vibrates. I'm wondering if it's the smart stay feature using the camera to see movement.

Mine randomly vibrates when I enable USB3 mode to move large files. It vibrates for a second at the start of the transfer and a few times (when different files are moving).

I know there is a feature when u pick up your phone, and there is some kind of notification waiting for you, the phone will vibrate. This is a feature that is built in to TouchWiz. There should be a setting to turn it off, but cant remember right now off the top of my head.

Use task manager

Press menu, go to task manager, RAM, clear memory.

That worked for me. It closes 9 programs.

:laugh:

Hey All,
All you have to do is ....
Go to TASK MANAGER app,
Go to the Downloaded tab from Task Manager
UNinstall Playstore.


That's all!

Vibrating due to Account Sync (Loop?)

For anyone still wondering:
It is because the phone is syncing up for some reason it doesn't stop syncing (Looping?)...
Best way around it:
Settings->Accounts and sync->Background Data/Auto Sync Turn Those off!
After a restart it should stop vibrating and get quite alot faster.

Sidenote:
Samsung Galaxy Pocket (GT-S5300) is the phone i that had the issues and got fixed this way.

FINAL SOLUTION!!!!
Please ignore all of the comments above and below, except for what MYFRED and mr08022001 Pydro said. That is the solution. Simply uninstall or delete Google Play Services, and do not reinstall ever again. This is what was causing the constant vibrating on the phone. Plus it also rendered useless the Play Store app, so no applications could be installed or updated. I thought I had lost my phone due to the constant vibrating. But MYFRED helped me save it. Thanks mate, you are a genius. Alfred
