    So I'm sitting around the house on this lovely Sunday when my Sprint 8830 starts vibrating and making that super cool sonar sound I use for my message/email notification. But when I attempt to check the message, there's no message to be found! Wrote it off as an anomaly, but then it happened again about 5 minutes later. Message notification, no message. Anybody else ever have this happen? Should I perform an exorcism?

    Also, if I'm using BIS and one of my three configured email accounts stops sending/receiving to and from my BlackBerry, but works otherwise (like from computer to computer), is it likely a problem with BIS or with the email server?

    Thanks!

    Resend your service books.

    Resent my service books. The account in question still doesn't work. BUT, new development: my webmail portal for that account has stopped working now as well. I am aware that they're transitioning this email service to a system powered by Google in a few days, so I'm assuming that's the problem. I'll take it up with them. The phantom message thing still concerns me but it hasn't happened in a while so whatev.

    bumping this thread since I am having the same problem. Multiple battery pulls later it's still giving me a problem. It will vibrate and when i go to check the email/text, nothing is there. No indicator pops up. Anyone?

    Could it possibly be a calander appoinment? Or maybe a PING from a BBM contact?

    lol!

    it wouldn't be scary unless someone who was dead was calling you. and when you answered, they didn't say anything.

    Actually, it would be far creepier if someone who was dead called and they DID say something!

    No luck. No appts on the calendar for today and nothing new with the bb msger. My phone is hour-glassing as well. I did battery pulls, re-sent the service books. Any other ideas?

    Is it "actually" vibrating? I sometimes have my phone in my pocket and I get a phantom ring/vibrate.

    Yeah I get that sometimes but not in this case. I think it was my weatherbug app, so I deleted it and the "ghosts" have gone away for now. I don't understand why it couldve been hourglassing though...
