Random Vibrations? [Help]

I keep having random vibrations every few minutes, usually 2 quick short vibrations but sometimes there are 3-4. There are no visual alerts to go along with the vibrations and I am pretty confused. It has been doing this for about 24 hours now at least.

I tried disabling many of my widgets/apps that I know cause vibrations but no results yet. I have also restarted the phone and it seems the vibrations start right away after reboot (but that could be a start-up vibration if there is one). Anyone have any ideas or know how I could create a log of apps calling the vibration feature?

Thanks,
Scincidae
 
Check and make sure all of your apps have a tone set not just vibrate.. Twitter would be one to look at if you have it..

I don't have Twitter. The apps I do have that can vibrate are..
- Astrid (Todo app, but no tasks in it right now)
- Facebook (I have it for a long interval update and no vibrations)
- Handcent (All SMS read)
- SportsTap (At 15 minute intervals and they show up in alerts)
- Pure Messenger Widget (Linked to Handcent)
- AudioControl widget (Vibrates on tap but I have it set to sound on)

All my other apps are (don't think they would vibrate and/or havent set them up)..
- Battery Widget
- CoinFlip (Installed after vibrations started)
- ASTRO
- Dolphin Browser
- Facebook Sync
- GameBoid
- JuicePlotter
- Music junk (Installed after vibrations started)
- Pandora
- QuickUninstall
- Robo Defense
- Shazam (Installed after vibrations started)
- SMS AutoReply
- YouMail (Installed after vibrations started)

Any ideas?

(also turned off all email syncing)
