Adrian & DAP team~
Here's how Cordova is handling the Windows limitations on vibration
length. Rather than throw an error, if the vibration time is less than 1,
the device vibrates for a length of 1. If the vibration time is 5000 or
more, the time is truncated to 5000.
This is documented within the vibration plugin docs:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-vibration/blob/master/doc/index.md
Please let me know if you see any issues with the documentation,

The Windows Phone behaviour is documented in MSDN:

The API throws an exception for out of range arguments. It sounds like you
are not catching
the exception?
