When you phone doesn't vibrate in your pocket but you're 100% positive it did

Then you check and there's nothing.

Well I just got that. To the point I stopped what I was doing and spent a few seconds trying to get the phone out of my pocket (jeans and sitting down means difficult) - then I realised it's on my desk and my muscle / leg / mind was just imagining it.

It was so real! I know other people get this - Do you? Read somewhere that it's a proper, recognised physiological phenomena but I can't be bothered to find the link. Oh, and my phone's vibrating.

i used to get htis all the time

but I tend to just keep my phone on silent these days. instead I get phantom flashes from the alert light.

Sounds like you had a stretch reflex

Don't really get muscle sensations that feel like 'real' things so often. Sometimes I can't get to sleep because I feel like my guts will fall out
Good times in Brain City.

i reckon

a bored intern at Apple wrote it into the firmware code. I always get this with my iphone.

gosh yes

I get it all the time. I keep it in my pocket so I don't have to faff about taking it out of my bag.

vibrate but with the banners etc switched off

Happens when I'm driving sometimes,

although it's probably just the vibration of the car.

Once or twice I've been convinced my phone's buzzing then realised it's not even in my pocket.
