LC-2765 Felipe Nascimento de Moura `<felipenmoura@gmail.com>` (archived comment)	Hi. Is there(or there will be) a way I can find out if the device is in silent mode? I mean, I could perform a "bip" sound in my webapp when something happens...but if the user has put his device in "meeting mode", I will just vibrate it instead...is this(or will it be) possible somehow? Regards.	Updated introduction to mention relevance of Notification API, referencing W3C Notification editors draft ( https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/notifications/raw-file/tip/Overview.html ) email summary: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2013Jun/0010.html Revised text: [[ Introduction This section is non-normative. The API is specifically designed to address use cases that require simple tactile feedback only. Use cases requiring more fine-grained control are out of scope for this specification. This API is not meant to be used as a generic notification mechanism. Such use cases may be handled using the Web Notifications [notifications] specification. In addition, determining whether vibration is enabled is out of scope for this specification. ]] http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/vibration/	yes
LC-2764 Paul Cotton `<Paul.Cotton@microsoft.com>` (archived comment)	The [vibration] LC Working Draft [1] includes a normative reference to HTML 5.0 CR [2]. The normative text of the LC WD refers to HTML5 in the following text: 3. Terminology The concepts browsing context<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/browsers.html#browsing-context> and spin the event loop<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/webappapis.html#spin-the-event-loop> are defined in [HTML5<http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-vibration-20130523/#bib-HTML5>]. The two links in the above text do NOT refer to the HTML 5.0 CR but actually refer to the HTML 5.1 nightly build. I recommend you change the links to refer to the HTML5 CR draft OR change the normative reference to HTML 5.1. /paulc HTML WG co-chair [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-vibration-20130523/ [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/ Paul Cotton, Microsoft Canada 17 Eleanor Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2E 6A3 Tel: (425) 705-9596 Fax: (425) 936-7329	Update specification to refer to HTML 5 CR with the two links in the terminology section ('browsing context' and 'spin the event loop') , http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2013May/0063.html	yes
