Why does my iphone w/ ios7 vibrates randomly when unlocked?

I have iphone 4 with the new ios 7 installed. This never happened before installing ios7. Whenever I unlock the phone, using my passcode, sometimes (50%) it vibrates. I didn't get a new email, no new notification, no notification I havnt checked, no new messages. it vibrates with ringer on or on silent. I looked every setting and there is no setting that I can turn on or off vibration when unlocking. Any thoughts? Thanks.

iPhone 4, iOS 7

Hi,


Mine does a bit odd thing. It rumbles when I have a call. Incoming or outgoing dont matter. It does not rumble for a full cycle as would when receiving msg, but for a tenth of a sec.

Annoying. Just wondering anyone has similar problems?

Was factory resetted, restarted, downgraded ect. Nothing helps.


Any idea folks?


iPhone 5S 16GB on O2. (Also there is no 3G coverage when I am having a call. But my friend has for ex. )

Just bumping this, anyone from Apple got anything to say? Ever since the 7 update my iphone has turned from a tool into a puzzle. They release updates constantly yet troublesome issues are not addressed, just colours of icons. Fed up with apple now, this is my last iphone - EVER. Cannot wait to release myself from their buggy customer ignorant clutches. Anyone know a good smart phone that works?

Hello, I'm having the same buzz/page flip sound too (iPhone 4, iOS7) and it's driving me nuts.


For me it seems to happen between 10:10 and 10:20 every single morning. I hope some one at apple addresses this soon. :/ I'm starting to consider trading my phone in for one with iOS6 still installed so I don't have to deal with all these obnoxious "quirks".

yup - I've figured out it was the mail app too - sepcifically my Yahoo account. It vibrates (only vibrates, does not wake the phone/turn on the screen) everytime I receive an email to that account, even though I have all notficiations turned off for that account under System->Notifications.


I've just tried changing it from Push to Manual under Settings->Mail->Fetch New Data; we'll see if that works.

This is fine for me since I don't use this account frequently and don't care to receive push notifications from it...
