system.vibrate() question

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi all,

Is there a way, using system.vibrate() or any other method, that I can force a device to vibrate, even if the user’s current settings don’t indicate that a vibration is called for? I know that sounds confusing, so let me explain: testing on my device, if I call system.vibrate(), it only works if the phone is muted (in my settings, I have vibration turned on when the phone is on silent)…however, if the phone is not muted, system.vibrate() does nothing (I have vibrations turned off for sounds when my phone is not muted).

Is there any way to get around this?

Thanks!

Hi Logan, unfortunately the system.vibrate() function is bound by the limitations placed on it by the parent OS … [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 18059 reply_id: 69041[/import]
