You didn't provide any details of what your are doing and what is not working but it is working in our release build, 591.
The vibrate generates a sound in the simulator and vibrates the phone. The Accelerator1 sample app demonstrates system.vibrate.

I used "system.vibrate()" on the latest 2011.591 build and when I put my app on my phone the app kept crashing at the point when it was supposed to vibrate. I went back removed the one line that had "system.vibrate()", put it back on my phone and the app doesn't crash anymore. Help???
Im using android 2.2 on my phone

Yes, to vibrate is giving malfunction. In the previous version to compile the same application, had no problem. Now generates the closing of the request.

Sorry, but we did change something in Build 591 that would cause system.vibrate to stop working. We removed the Aandroid.permission.VIBRATE from the Android manifest. This means you must add this yourself to the build.settings file. I've update this API page with that information.
