Iphone 5 randomly vibrates with no notifications in iOS 7.1

My iPhone 5 randomly vibrates with no notifications and no sound ever since the 7.1 update. Has this happened to anyone else?

This happens to me too. Normally when it is off, a few minutes after it turns off it randomly vibrates. I have an iPhone 5 32GB Black.

IPhone 6 randomly vibrating with no notifications or emails

So my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1 randomly vibrates about 10 times a day. The random vibrations have been increasing in the past couple weeks.
I've tried everything I could find online to make it stop doing this. I've checked notification settings and sound (vibrate) setting and made sure NONE of my email accounts are permitted to send vibration notifications.
There are no notifications, and it's not related to text messages or emails. It even vibrate when my mail inbox is empty
Has anyone else encountered this?
How do I stop these terribly annoying and unnecessary vibrates?

Hi ..
Try a reset.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

Why is my iPhone 5S randomly vibrating?

Since getting my new iPhone 5S a few days ago, it has been continually randomly playing a Ding tone like I was getting an incoming e-mail message. I checked all of my apps and their sounds, and the general sounds, and it appeared that the only app that played a Ding tone is my Mail app for my iCloud.com account. I then changed that Ding tone to be None and now it randomly vibrates rather than playing the Ding tone, so I am pretty sure it is related to the Mail app. I have checked several times when I heard that tone to be sure I had not gotten a new e-mail message and that was not the case.
Is there somewhere I have not looked that would be causing this behavior?

Jonathan,
Does this only happen while you a plugged in? If so look at your battery icon, you will probably notice that it is grey. If you wiggle the chord you will see that it goes to green and the lightening bolt appears. When the lightening bolt appears the tone it vibration happens. The reason it happens randomly when you don't wiggle it is because it's getting that connection on its own.
My iPhone 5s just started doing this today. While the phone is unplugged from the USB cable. Attempt a reset on your phone by holding down the power button on the top and the home button on the front together for about 3-5 seconds, the phone should automatically power cycle. In addition attempt to charge with a different chord. If you have a case on your phone that has the flap to cover the charging port when it is unplugged, rove the case to make sure that flap isn't pressing on the charger. Those are the steps that I am following right now. My battery icon is still grey do I continue to search for the next steps. If I find more I will post it here. I hope some of that helps.

Iphone 5 Random Vibrations

I got my new Iphone 5 a couple of weeks ago and have noticed ever since I started using it that it randomly vibrates for no reason at all. It’s the same short vibration you get when you receive a new sms. I have checked every time it happens and theres no new sms, no new calls, no new emails and I have notifications turned off for everything apart from Phone, Messages, Reminders & Calendar. I have tried turning it off and on again, and Ive tried letting it drain down to 0% and recharge but its still happening, and over the last couple of days its happening more frequently.

Why does my iPhone 4s randomly disconnect with airplay?

I have tried using two different wireless routers but no luck. I have my Apple TV hardwired in to my router and when using an iPhone 4s on AirPlay it will randomly stall/disconnect. When this happens the airplay option usually goes away for a bit and then comes back. I have used it over a Motorola wifi with wireless g speeds, then I plugged it in to a wireless n Dlink network, and same issue. I've also tried more than one iPhone, relocated the modem so there is nothing but about 10 feet of air between the modem and the phone, and still have the issue. Interestingly enough, the iPad 2 does fine. Any ideas?

The multi task bar as you call it does not show apps that are running but rather shows recent apps that you have used. These apps do not use bandwidth because they are not running. Check your notifications to see which apps might be sending information because they might be using data. The native apps that came with the phone periodically use data and there is nothing that you can do about that

IPhone 5 randomly vibrates in pulses

I only notice this when I am in bed but every 3 sec- 6min my iphone will vibrate in a quick succession of 1-4 buzzes it will then stop and then 3 sec- 6 min later it will do it again.

I think I figured it out, my power cable has 3 others cords plugged in and sometimes when it buzzes the battery icon changes from charging to blank and it only happens when it's charging. So I think it's because I don't have enought volts to run all 3 cables and it switches on and off.

Cannot view photos in the stream on iPhone 6 but can with my other 4 iOS devices

I just purchased an iPhone 6 and the setup smooth but one thing..photo stream. I can take pictures and they go in the stream and I can view from my other iOS devices but I cannot view photos taken with other devices on the iPhone 6. All use the same iCloud ID.

Hi JinnaWinkas,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try these steps first if the Photo Stream on one of your PCs is not updating:
you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Photos will not be able to send or receive updates to My Photo Stream. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your PC, Mac, or iOS devices.
Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, and click the iCloud tile.
In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Make sure that iCloud Photos or Photo Stream is turned on in the iCloud Control Panel. Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

IPhone 4S shuts down with 30% battery life iOS 8.1.1

Last week I updated my iPhone 4S from iOS 7 to iOS 8.1.1. Allthough the battery level is 30%, my iPhone shuts down. I can only start it again by connecting it to a power supply (computer or charger) to get it back to life again. And if it is restarted, the battery level again is 30%. This is very annoying. I regret is very much that I updated the iOS.
Apple please solve this a.s.a.p!

Iphone 5 spontaneously vibrates in silent mode.

When my iphone sits in silent mode, sometimes it spontaneously vibrates with no notification. There's nothing that shows any notification for mail, facebook, twitter etc. Anyone else having this happen to them??

Yes, my sons iPhone 5 has the exact same problem. Sent it to Apple for repair, they sent it back saying they could not find any error. First time I held it, it happened again several times.
The vibration is followed by the "silent" symbol - it believes the phone has been switched to vibration / silent mode. Hope they will fix it in 2nd attempt.

3G iPhone randomly vibrating

WHY does my 3G iPhone randomly vibrate when its clear there is no new text message, email, alert, etc? I've heard this might have something to do with switching or recognizing another network but can't find any discussions confirming it. If it is a network-related notification, can it be turned off? If Apple couldn't even tell us what its for then we obviously don't need the vibrate to alert (or annoy) us.
And no, the vibrate switch is not mistakenly getting turned on and off. This happens even when its not being held and just sitting on the table untouched. It also happens whether the phone is charging or not plugged in at all.

Try to set it up as new device without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt data.

3GS iphone randomly vibrates?

I've had a 3GS iphone for about a year and a half and just last month it has started to randomly vibrate. Whenever I switch it to silent mode I will set my phone down and the bell symbol will continue to pop up as if I'm switching it on and off of silent mode. Every time the symbol pops up it vibrates. Sometimes it will do it five or six times in a row when it's just laying on a table. Does anyone know how I can make it stop? I haven't had any problems with my phone until this.

Sounds like you might have a bad mute switch. It has probably worn out. Might have to go ahead and update or try to get an out of warranty replacement for the phone.

IPhone 4 vibrates with emails

After restoring my iPhone a few weeks ago, I've noticed that it always vibrates when I recieve a new email, which is getting annoying. I've gone into Settings>Sound and turnned off all vibrating with the exception of the Silent section. The problem still occurs.
I want to have vibrating on for when I'm recieving calls and my phone is to silent, but I don't want it to vibrate for emails, texts or other notifications.
Any idea what I can do?

I've reset it several times. The problem still persists. I'm tempted to resotre the whole system again to see if that helps, but I'd rather see if someone has a better solution first

IPhone 3 G randomly vibrating

I am having problems with my IPhone randomly vibrating every few seconds. On the screen you see the sound on and sound off indicator switching back and forth with each random vibration. After the phone is reset, it will stop this for a while but will begin vibrating intermittently again. Any suggestions?

Try a restore to see if it fixes it if not i'd be making an appointment to go see an Apple genius maybe the actually switch is a bit faulty (bad connection?) you could even try wriggling it a little to see if the indicator pops up on the screen without actually properly selecting the option. A few people seem to have problems with this switch breaking off entirely so there is a bit of history with problems with the switch, still i think a genius and your warranty would be your best bet

It seems after the latest software update, my iphone 4 has issues with the phone and voicemail locking up as well as opening random apps. Any thoughts?

Hi clintfromid,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:

Randomly vibrating iPhone 4

Why does my phone randomly vibrate every few hours?
I'm not receiving a text, email, or any kind of notification, and it doesn't matter if my phone is plugged in to anything or not. It will just vibrate once, like if I had just recieved a notification but nothing new pops up. This will happen at basically any time of day and I have no idea why. It keeps making me think I have mail, but nothing actually happened. When I acutally do get mail/text/notification, it buzzes just like normal.

No. The vibrations happen at very random times (like 5:39 in the evening), and my phone only vibrates once whereas what reminders I do have set play a tune as well as vibrate. And they don't happen every day at the same time either.
