Bug Description
I am running a Meizu Pro 5 with Ubuntu version 15.04 r14.
Problem description: About once a week, on a seemingly random time/date, the phone will vibrate and turn on the rear flash. While the vibrating stops after a few seconds, the flash remains on until the phone is powered off. Turning off the display does not disable the flash's light.
This behaviour happens with the default settings and with the vibrate feature disabled for calls & messages. Notifications are turned off for all apps, apart from system settings.
The phone indicates no missed calls or messages and there are no new notifications when the vibrate/flash event occurs. The battery still has plenty of charge and the phone is not plugged in. There are no automatic crash reports filed during these events.
This vibrate & flash event happens about once a week, so far always between the hours of 2:00am and 7:30am. This means the phone wakes me up in the middle of the night about once a week for no apparent reason.
Expected behaviour: Unless a call or message is coming in, the phone should remain silent during the night.
Further information and tests can be provided upon request.

This happened to me a few times indeed, unfortunately I've no idea how to reproduce that or what's causing it.
One thing for sure is that unity8 isn't. It also seems to be hardware-specific, no other device has done that.
When this happens to you again, will you please post the contents of /var/log/syslog and the output from:
$ adb shell /system/bin/logcat
Maybe it will shed some light...
