Attachment: patch to make vibrate work when screen is off

It's a hack to make vibrate work when screen is off.

I'm not so sure why we need to make vibrate work but didn't explain what it vibrates for on screen?

we have achieved our aim by using this patch!

I am not sure that i understood what you said "I'm not so sure why we need to make vibrate work but didn't explain what it vibrates for on screen?"
Maybe Bug1150842 could explain why we need this feature.

thank you !

This patch will only be a workaround. We will think of a formal solution if we have strong requirement in the future.
