I am using Moto Z force but with galaxy s3 it happened too.
I activated the moto that put my phone in do not disturb mode when I flip down the phone, but as soon I flip the phone start vibrating intermittently and do not stop till I turn the phone, the weirder is that before I flipped I turn off the sound and vibration manually, and when I picked back the vibration is on and the sound is a little active.
I already tried to turn off all administration privileges and many permissions. I already uninstalled many apps and nothing. I was not able to uninstall google play services.
And now it vibrates when face up too sometimes, it's a hell.
