Mystery bumping vibration, cycle repeating intermittently - General Questions and Answers

Hi, What's a good way to see what app is creating a pattern of alert vibration. Not sure what's causing it but when it starts it will bump about every second for a couple minutes.
Any way to find out what's causing it?

Screen turns on by itself.

Hey all. My Skyrocket seems to be turning the screen on by itself at random intervals. Sometimes it will turn itself off by the screen timeout set at 30 seconds but sometimes I will have to manually turn the screen off. Sometimes after turning the screen off when I go to bed I wake up in the morning to see my phones screen on. I believe an app is causing this to happen but I am trying to figure out which one it is. Instead of wiping clean and never finding the culprit I want to spend some time digging. I caught the phone in the act just recently and grabbed the logs. It happened right around 1:30am. Please see attachment for log.
I looked over the log but did not see anything obvious. Maybe someone with more knowledge can take a peek at the log and find something of value.
Thanks!
I guess I should also mention my Skyrocket is rooted with stock rom and kernel running 2.3.5.

[Q] Has your phone ever slept through a text message, call or other notification?

On occasions when the phone is sleeping, it will not alert me of a text message until I've turned the screen on. No LED is flashed and often the alert sound is delayed until the phone is woken as well. Looking at the battery graph there will be no "awake" line during that period though the message will have a properly aged time stamp. Now I think the same thing happened with a missed voice call which is quite disconcerting.
I wonder how many people are experiencing this and might think the LED notification is not working properly, which is a common complaint. I've tried clearing the cache for Hangouts and Dialer and am waiting to see results but this was not happening on a consistent basis.
I got this several times now with WhatsApp but only noticed with one contact (not using Whatsapp very often).
It occurs to me it has something to do with the phone going to sleep but I am not sure.
I don't have whatsapp greenified but turned off "Keep Awake" in AppOps, maybe this was causing the issue. Turned it off now and now I have to wait for someone texting me
I'm stock unrooted, unless it's a glitch with my network then I think it would be an Android bug.
Normally I'd notice this when I woke up and checked my phone, but one time in particular I was having a text conversation with someone expecting a reply back. I turned off the screen. 20mins later I turn the screen on and the message arrives at that moment however the time stamp indicated it was from 15 minutes earlier.

What's the sleep time that you set in display options under settings?

I've always had it at 1 minute time out. Do you think that might be related to the notifications?
I've noticed it happening a lot today. It seems the message might get through eventually just with varried degrees of delay. I would try a phone reset but I don't think it's going to help.

Make sleep time after 10 minutes and observe your device!
I guess this will solve out the issue
It's because of proximity sensor which dims out the display on your nexus

strange alert - cannot be stopped

https://www.dropbox.com/s/n26hxz8bm2dvb92/2015-10-15 15.45.16.mp4?dl=0
The above video shows how my Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910G, 5.0.1, unrooted, original) has for the last 2 months or so occasionally played an alert (audible only), which cannot be stopped.
No notification or other indication shows what app or service causes this alert, it is NOT happening at times that
a calendar or such should trigger but happens out of the blue.
I have tried stopping each and every APP, (terninate from 'usage timelines pro')
It is even impossible to turn of the sound (from the sound icon in the notification/settings), it just goes on,
The only remedy I have found is to restart the phone.
Does anyone here recognize this sound and can tell me what causes this?

It sounds like the timer expiration notice. Check in your clock app.
Yes it does, but I have no timer alerts set. Is there any way another app can set such timer alerts? Next time this happens (it's infrequent, thnank god, but when it happens it does so at themost inconvenient times , I'll check the clock app... Thanks.
Other suggestions still welcoms

Persistent, barely audible series of 5 beep tones @ random

I've just noticed in the last day or two that my phone is putting out a series of five beep tones, randomly. The phone sits on the desk most of the time, and my apartment is pretty quiet, so the problem is noticeable, although I'm not yet terminally annoyed if I can figure out some solution to turn this off.
I saw some old posts on the web indicating that this might be attributable to the "OK Google" standby, but I can't figure out how to turn off or permanently dump the OK Google thing. Actually, I'm not even sure that's what causing the issue, but the phone is otherwise off while it sits on the desk.
I presume this is not something that"s never been seen before, so if anybody on this forum has something to add to the discussion I would be extremely interested in reading it. Many thanks, Enzo.

Second hand delay in always on mode

Today i notice that the second hand in all watch faces are delayed some seconds from time to time. When you wake the watch you see the second hand jumping serval seconds forward. Any way to solve this?
Same problem here. Sometimes theres a delay of 10+minutes and i have just enough time to realise thats not the time before it catches up. Frustrating when i need to simply glance at the time. Also on the "tachymeter" watch face I use the stopwatch function, however the stopwatch starts then stops showing the time recording, showing 0:00.97 every time. If i press stop, it tells me the true time I was trying to measure, But sometimes I'd like to see how the time progresses, For example if I need to countdown something. Is my watch too full of crap? Do i need to delete files???
