Storm Randomly Vibrates

I don't have any of my sound profiles (phone, SMS etc) set up to vibrate but 3-4 times a day, my Storm randomly vibrates. This is either in or out of the holster.

There's no screen message, no rings..no nothing afterwards. No big deal but it's strange. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Good question...not sure..it always takes me by suprise and I don't think to note down the time. Random I think though. BTW, my alarm is turned off also

I have the same problem. It started with .99, different times everyday and usually when its in the holster. I don't have weatherbug.

TwitterBerry does this too if you leave it open. There's no on-screen notification, it just buzzes at you - though, it'll make a noise as well if you've got your sound on (it sounds like you do).

Mine does it too and I noticed that it is when weatherbug is updating. A little annoying, but tolerable.

I had the same problem. It was weatherbug alerts. Everytime I upgrade, I have to deselect weatherbug alerts in the profile. I was very happy to figure it out b/c it really annoyed me.

It could be the 'phantom' vibrations are now infecting the Storms. My 7250 and 8830 did the same thing - no app generating it; just random vibrations.

I have noticed that mine does this now and again, perhaps 3-4 times a week. I do have capture it but i dont have any pic of my screen in my picture file after vibration, i did have weather bug installed but have deleted it and still get the random vibrations, doesnt really bother me just seems strange
