1119361 - [FfOs2.0][user story] App overides system setting-vibrate

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[ttest11]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; ALCATELOneTouch6015X; rv:32.0) Gecko/32.0 Firefox/32.0
Build ID: 20141212160145

Steps to reproduce:

6015x device with Firefox os 2.0 and the app "MultiFlash" from Market Place. Vibration is turned off in system settings.


Actual results:

When turning on or off the light in the app the device is vibrating. 


Expected results:

No vibrating at all. I was a little surprised, how a small app can "override" the system setting.

Additional info: there is only 1 app permission for all (flashlight AND vibrating). The Os setting vibration off and giving this app the permission results in flashing and vibrating phone.

That's not exactly right -- no app permission is required to use the Vibration API. That API is available to all web content without requesting special permission.
