Phantom spawn alerts?
Has anyone else been getting phantom spawn alerts? I’m standing in an open area, my phone vibrates to indicate a spawn, but I don’t see anything.

Yes; I've also had Pokémon spawn for just long enough to see them appear on my screen, then suddenly they vanish, I don't see ANY Pokémon (on the screen or on the Nearby Pokémon list) for 2-5 minutes. Then I get vibration notifications but nothing shows back up on my screen for another couple minutes.
I can still spin Pokestops and battle gyms at these times (though sometimes it does occur at the same time as a GPS error...), but the Pokémon just vanish.
Yeah, it's been like that for me since the last update (don't think I noticed it before that).
Another bug to add to the list of stuff Niantic need to fix.
I still get that damn dodge bug during raid battles and I hate it when all Pokemon disappear from the screen and I have to wait until the game lets them spawn again (the same issue that FandangoGhandi wrote about).
