Vibra service - maemo.org

Hello,

I would like to make the phone vibrate, preferably just a short impulse.
I haven't found anything substantial on how to do this. Any idea which DBus interface to use?

Hey,

have a look at the DBus API of MCE. This should do the job.

Cheers Daniel

Thanks, for future reference:

Code:

Nokia-N900-42-11:~# dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_vibrator_pattern_activate string:'PatternTouchscreen'

That should make it vibrate?
There's something wrong or it is just my device that is not vibrating?

Thanks!

the touchscreen pattern is really weak...try out for example 'PatternChatAndEmail'. Maybe you just missed the vibra before

Forget about it.. that is right....
But remember that the general setting override whatever u do in this interface.

Look in /etc/mce/mce.ini

PS: I just tried "PatternIncomingCall" (out of the blue) and now my phone vibrates nonstop!

I did

Code:

Nokia-N900-42-11:~# dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_vibrator_disable

to stop it.. but.. if I enable.. the shaking continues..
LOL!
PatternIncomingCall never ends. To stop it, send:

Code:

dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.

Code:

dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.

does not stop the vibrating for me.

It just prints an error:

Code:

# dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.
