I've had this phone for a couple of days. I have gone through the settings and turned off the vibration feature BUT every so often it starts a spontaneous vibrating cycle. I checked and double checked all settings and that feature is turned off. When it happens I activate the phones main screen to see what is happening but nothing is. HELP! Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

When you turn the "Vibrate Effect" off and the "Vibrate Level" to off, does it still vibrate when you press a key? I'm thinking that it's either that the phone thinks a key has been pressed while in your pocket, or that you have an unanswered message or event and it's periodically vibrating to remind you. you don't have your master volume set to "Vibrate" do you?

Let me know.

Hello:
I'm on my 3rd touch now - Just had a "flash" at the alltel store. On the way home the vibrating happened again. Did several "hard resets" but no good.
All of my vibrate settings are OFF.
When this happenes there appears a phone icon and 2 arrows at the top of the screen as if it is getting an update?

I called alltel yesterday and they are sending out my 4th LG touch 8575

What could be the problem?

This is your 4th Touch?? Wow what bad luck, I've had good luck with the ones I have here, I really apologize.
You're right, the two horizontal arrows indicate an attempt at "Data Communication" so for some reason your Choc Touch wants to connect to the network. Whether the Phone is going nuts or something on the network side is happening, it's causing this issue... I tend to think there is an issue with the phone since the Vibration is happening.

Let us know what happens.
