I have a huge amount of traffic on my BB, avaraging 1 message every 5 min. Some times when the traffic are low, i see a phantom LED blinking but by the time I check the phone, nothing
Anyone else has the same proble, ??
Google Phantom vibrations and BlackBerry, this type of thing is a common phenomena. Its quite entertaining when you have been going through it for years haha.
Thanks for the validation on this. I get this all the time and sometimes a message comes in and I see my BB blinking before it actually IS blinking, but lots of times out of the corner of my eye while sitting at my desk working I see that LED flash, so I stop and pick up my phone and there is nothing there.
I get phantom vibrations too. Feel and hear those all the time.
I have received the phantom LED blinks too, but once I installed the Advance OS and LED, I love being able to turn of the LED if I know nothing is there.
Phantom vibrations on the other hand I have never had since the BB vibrate is so dang long and hard.
Ah yes...the ghost vibrate and LED. But it only happens when you are bored and just sitting there doing nothing........................................... ..freaky stuff
It's REALLY bad when sometimes I think I even hear my alerts going off! Also, there's this one part in a song I have on a playlist that I SWEAR I can hear notifier lightspeed very faintly at one part, like someone forgot to silence their phone in the studio during the recording! I'm not even currently using a BB, but every time I hear that my hand instinctively goes to my pocket!

I think I find that funnier than it actually is lol
5 years and 7 BlackBerrys in and I still find the whole phantom vibration / LED thing to be complete and utter nonsense.
The phantom vibration may actually be real. On very few occasions I actually experienced a Bold rattling up and down on a desk - but no LED and no message. I put it down as a software glitch activating the vibrate.
See, mine can USUALLY be chalked up to understandable circumstances. A phantom vibration could be chalked up to my phone being in my pocket while in the car and I run over a rough piece of road. A phantom LED could be chalked up to a brief glare on my phone.
I've seen this occassionally out of the corner of my eye, but I just put it down to light reflecting/catching the LED area giving the illusion of the LED flash - which in reality looks nothing like the real LED flash at all.
I have had both. A lot of the time the "phantom" LED is really just the sun or a shadow reflecting off the gloss of the screen and making a bringht light in the corner of your eye - much like when you're sitting in a sunny room and the sun reflects of your watch super bright.
Also I've come to realize that a lot of devices have red LEDs on them - cell chargers, power strips, radios, etc. So often I'll see another LED blinking out of the corner of my eye and assume its my blackberry.
