Help Note2 Waking up/Vibrating EVERY 10 minutes........No notifications.....Very Annoying..... Ideas?!!

I have had my SGN2 for over 2 years but today it started waking up breifly with the screen coming on with vibration. This is very annoying because it happens every 10 minutes like clockwork, but there is no notification and I am unable to tell what is causing it. I have not installed any new Apps recently but it is like something is pinging my phone. I do updates manually to keep anything unwanted from being installed and I don’t trust Google with unlimited access. Just before this started, I tried to update some of my installed apps and before I could update anything I got a message from Google Play with a New HUGE TOS which, of course, I didnt read. I tried udating without agreeing but it would not allow me to do so. I need to know if it is Google Play or if not them, what is accessing my phone without my “known” permission? I know Google wants access to everything on “it’s” phone but I don’t like the idea of giving up my privacy and this would be a deal breaker for me if Google now insist that it can “frisk me” every 10 minutes. Is anyone else having this problem or possibly know how I can find out what exactly is causing these continous unwanted intrusions?
 
I think I found what was causing the problem. Even though I dont use texting or even have a text plan I noticed that I had a spam text message wanting me to reply about a bank account(not mine)and it would cause the phone to come on/vibrate every 10 minutes until the message was deleted
