Has anyone else noticed every now and then the screen will light up as if it thinks a call or text or something is coming but then nothing does? Its not that often it just confuses me sometimes bc I'm not sure if its just something Im not receiving? just curious

I get this every now and again myself, but I think it has something to do with roaming. Do you often roam where this happens?

My Mogal did that all the time. Not sure why.

Roaming (or switching back to EV) causes this. Bluetooth on (trying to connect to headset) also causes this.

It really sucks because of the battery drain and inadvertant pocket calling. I have not found a good solution yet.

A solution to pocket calling is easy. S2U2 or some other locking software.

But as to the turning on when roaming/bluetooth. I haven't found anything that will solve that. If anyone knows, share the wealth =)

I see this sometimes as well. I think I've tracked it down to Exchange and Active Sync. Of your YMMV, but in my case, I have several rules setup that will move an incoming email from my Inbox to a subfolder. When this happens, I've noticed sometimes my light will start flashing on my phone like I had a new email, but when I look, there is nothing there.

What made me assume this is causing the light to come on on my mobile is that I have seen this happen in Outlook, where an email comes in, sits in my inbox for a split second, and then the client side rule kicks in and moves the email.

HTH

Happens to me all the time while the phone is sitting on the desk in front of me. No active data connection, no roaming(phone isn't moving), no nothing, but the screen will still wake up now and then. No idea why but it's annoying..
