Anyone one else notice this? When on silent mode my phone will randomly vibrate.


This happens 3-5 times today already.


Any suggestions or does apple need to come up with a bug fix?


Thanks,

Solved: The pulse is from AirDrop wich as default has pulse on.

go to settings-sounds-find AirDrop in the list. click on it and turn vibrate off(none) and notificationsounds also none.


Opgelost: Het geluid komt van AirDrop die standaard pulse aan heeft staan.

ga naar instellingen-geluiden- vindt in de lijst AirDrop, klik erop en zet trillen en meldingstonen uit.

I have the same problem here, but the time is fixed at 1:30 am every day, I can't find the reason! It's driving me crazy! 6s iOS10.2

Then you will have to find the app that is creating an alarm at 1:30 am every day. If you actually watch it at that time a notification will be posted by the app. So you don't have to wait up just switch the date and time to manual and set the time to 1:25 am.

Hello,


I have had a friend have this problem. I don’t know if any of you have figured it your problem out yet but I may have a solution. Do you remember the sound it plays? If so, go into settings, go to “sounds”, then scroll down to “New Mail”, and play that sound. Is it the same sound? If so then that is what that sound is! Your phone makes that specific sound every time you receive a new email in your Mail app. If you no longer want the sound to play then swipe the New Mail button to off. I hope this solves you problem. If this does not fix it, go through each of the sounds and see if there is the similar sound. Good luck everyone.

Hi

Go to iCloud make sure iCloud back up is on Then backup now over your

Then go to settings down to reset Restore iPhone back to factory settings.

Set back up over your wifi when it asks if you want to use iCloud backup Say yes to get your apps and data back this will get rid of any bugs.

Later go to i books download ios 11 user guide & iPhone 8 guide both are free.

Cheers

Same for me. iOS8 on iPhone 5. I went through all my notifications to make sure I don't have one that set to only sound with no notification center or no lock screen notice and no badge but I couldn't find any. Plus I did an upgrade from my previous version so all my settings should have been the same since iOS7. Its gotta be a bug. It's so freaking annoying!
