I leave my phone with the screen off. Every morning between 4:35 and 4:36am the screen quickly flicks on and off.

It's always at this time and it's just for less than a second.

Anyone have any clue why?

I'm rooted with clockwork recovery, but with a stock 4.0.2 rom. I use Go Launcher.

VZBackup is disabled. I have titanium backup, but I don't think I have anything set to automated. I'll doublecheck.

As far as I know though, nothing else I have has any setting for anything scheduled except the built in alarm clock, but that's for around 10am.

Here's the log from that time frame, anything look responsible? I've got a general idea of what's going on, but nothing stands out to me that would be the culprit.

EDIT: I'm too tired, I think this has something to do with it

Code: 
02-16 04:36:01.743 I/power   (187): *** set_screen_state 1
02-16 04:36:01.766 I/WindowManager(187): Lock screen displayed!
What in the world would make that happen?


Here's the log (of everything from that timeframe).
