Default Vibrate doesn't stop

On 2 occasions my Galaxy W has vibrated after receiveing a text or Gmail Chat and the vibration has not stopped.
Although I can operate the phone (accessing menus, apps etc) normally the vibration continues until I re-boot it.

I wonder if anyone else has had this problem.

It happened on ver 2.3.5 and also since I upgraded to 2.3.6 so that is not a cure.

I have the same problem.

I am on my 2nd galaxy w after returning my first 1 that started vibrating continuously after 2 weeks. The 'new' one has also started doing it after just 3 days!

Does anyone know if there is a fix or if I am better off just returning it?

Coincidentally, my wife got the same phone at the same time and has had no problems!

I had the same problem after installing Tweetdeck. Uninstalled it and hasn't happened since - time will tell if that was the answer
