My Iphone4 vibrates by itself. Anyone know why this is the case? It makes so little noise. It doesn't vibrate all the times. Maybe once in every one hour? Please help...
I just also realized that it is downloading data. I turned off my push notification. So, dunno why..
 
Do you have it checking e-mail every hour? Sometimes it is not so obvious when it vibrates for new e-mail.
 
Could be email.... I am going to check, but my gmail is not set up to be push email. I thought.
 
Its probably an app that runs in the background. I find that when my phone vibrates and it wasnt one of the major 3: email, phone, sms - then it was probably me IM client (trillian) on the 3rd page.

i scroll over there and voila.

sometimes the push notifications just dont pop up and it leaves you with a vibration and no idea where it came from
 
Turn your volume on and you'll likely know the source the next time the alert goes off.
