    My Z10 is sitting on my desk plugged into a PC via USB with the screen off. On the hour, the screen will briefly show the lock screen and then go black again. I'm curious what is causing this? Is that a feature?

    I think it has to be. I noticed mine does this as well but only when plugged in. My guess is its a feature kind of like Apple's computers announcing the time every hour in that robotic female voice. Ours is justa brief flash of the screen so its enough to get our attention but not be annoying.

    Just pull down the shade, and it won't do that.

    That's a good point, but doesn't bedside mode disable notifications?

    Bedside mode doesnt disable notifications. It still brings in notifications but it doesn't vibrate or make a noise or anything. I usually go bedside mode between 12:00a.m. ands 1:00.a.m and I will wake up around 10:00a.m an all the texts from my friends are there.

    Mine does that when I have it plugged into the playbooks charger, but not the charger that came with it.

    It doesn't disable your radios so you will still get all of your messages etc, but it does disable notifications; as you said it doesn't notify you (vibrate, ring, etc) when they come in just a technicality lol

    I noticed this too at night, when plugged into the charger that came with it. It was slightly annoying because it kept waking me up. Haven't noticed it lately though.

    I think if it's every 10 or so minutes that it's when the charging kicks in and when the charging ceases.
