"Do Not Disturb" Malfunction in iOS 6 on 3GS

Do Not Disturb was enabled, scheduled and on. Only Favorites were allowed to get through. But, I just received an incoming call from a telephone number that's *not* in my Favorites, but which *is* from a Contact. So, what feature that should have been checked wasn't? Or is Do Not Disturb just coporate, beta salesware?

Hey: I found the answer! Do Not Disturb is corporate, beta salesware with no useful features! Wow. I've gotten really good at answering my own questions about Apple's product-less products.

  • Does anybody know how the "Do not disturb" button on iOS 6 will work?

    I understand you will still be receiving calls, messages, etc and your iPhone will remain silent and you will be able to see your messages later, but if I set the DND timer for an especific time like everyday at 10pm, will it activate next day at 10 pm like the night before or do I have to set the timer again? thanks in advance.

    Turn on Do Not Disturb to suppress all incoming calls and notifications. Enable it manually or schedule a recurring time. Or allow calls from your favorites or specific contact groups.

  • Not able to update IOS 5 on 3gs baseband 06.15.00

    i want to upgrade to IOS 5 but not able to do so with baseband 06.15.00.

    You're phone is jailbroken?  You're on your own. Jailbroken devices can't be discussed here. 
    By the way, this is one of the potential problems caused by jailbreaking.

  • TS4510 I just updated to IOS 6.1 and the Do Not Disturb stays on all the time, now what? It had been fixed a while ago.

    Mid January, I noticed my Do NOt Disturb was working again, turning off during the day. Now, I just updated to IOS 6.1 and it's on all the time, is this going to get fixed?
    thanks, Susan

    You have no make sure that the "Silence" setting is on always.
    To do that follow:
    Settings > Do Not Disturb > Silence > Always

    No one here would have any way of knowing.  Apple rarely announces plans for future updates.

  • After the most recent iOS update, notification center doesn't show messages from people who are on "do not disturb mode". Anyone know how to fix it?

    Originally, even if I had some messages on the "do not disturb" mode, I would still be able to preview them in the notification center. After the latest update about a week or so ago, the only messages that appear are the ones that aren't on "do not disturb". I've tried taking them all off the DND mode and turning it back on, messed with the settings, even turned my phone off and on, but nothing is working.
    Any ideas?

    Follow-up to my earlier post that iPhone 6 Bluetooth not working correctly.  I purchased a Jawbone MiniJambox to use as a speaker phone in my office.  Everyone in our company thinks they are the best.  However, it is experiencing the same issues as with all my other Bluetooth headsets.  Everything works except cannot answer or hang up calls pushing the buttons on the Bluetooth devices.  The Bluetooth patio speakers in our courtyard also have the same issue.  However, my colleagues using iPhone 5 and 5s who did not update to iOS8 are using all Bluetooth devices without any issues.  Apple says it is a problem with my Bluetooth device.  Come on Apple.... This makes 7 different Bluetooth devices with different manufacturers.  You cannot possibly believe the problem is with the Bluetooth devices when iOS7 works perfectly fine...
    On another issue, my iPhone 5s worked perfectly fine in my vehicle entertainment center connected via USB.  The vehicle entertainment center had complete control of my iPhone and iTunes.  However, now I plug in my new iPhone 6 and it no longer communicates with my vehicle entertainment center.  Again when I called Apple, they said my vehicle entertainment center needed a firmware update.  Are you kidding me...  That is a bunch of BS...!!!

  • Do Not Disturb not muting notifications for group messages in iOS 8

    I have Do Not Disturb enabled for a particular group conversation. It mutes sounds for that conversation, but doesn't suppress notifications. This seems contrary to the "Mute notifications for this conversation." description under the setting. Am I misinterpreting how this feature is intended to work?

    If in fact all it is supposed to do is turn the sound off but you still get notifications, that is massively stupid. You know, I absolutely love Apple products and I hate to say this, but Apple is completely losing me. They need to get this right and use their brains. If I'm a part of a group text and there are texts coming in every 30 seconds, it helps me 10% to mute the sound, but 90% to just get rid of all the notifications so I can check in on that text when I feel like it. Hello!!??

  • IOS 6 do not disturb, repeated calls feature implemented badly

    I tested the "do not disturb" feature. Apparently, it hangs up an incoming call almost immediately. This renders the "repeated calls" portion of the "do not disturb" feature almost useless. This is because a caller is most likely to call a second time almost immediately if the first call gets terminated so quickly. Apple should allow the caller to continue to hear the ringing tone while keeping the callee's iPhone silent.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • IOS 6: Do Not Disturb and Clock app

    Hi all,
    Does the Do Not Disturb feature stop the default Clock app from sounding an alarm?
    Thanks in advance!

    DND apparently means "do not disturb me with phone calls or notifications". Alarms are viewed as being so important, they sound even with DND on and even with your Mute switch on silent.
    I don't know of any way to keep alarms from sounding except turning the phone off. Be careful when you're at the library or an important lecture or a symphony concert.
    And by the way, if DND is turned ON and your phone is not locked (for example, you're running a travel clock app all night) phone calls and notifications will come thru and are NOT silenced. DND only works when the phone is locked with the screen off. Some people think that's great; others feel it needs improvement.

  • Do Not Disturb!!! Totally stopped disturbing me!!!!

    For last two day, the Do Not Disturb feature in Schedule Mode is malfunctioning on my iPhone5 with iOS 6.0.2 (10A551).

  • Schedule DO NOT DISTURB differently on certain days.

    I go to college and DO NOT DISTURB is a god send as I can schedule it to work during class time.  However, I do not attend class EVERY day and my schedule varies day to day.
    Is there a way (or a way in the works (HINT HINT APPLE)) of being able to schedule the Do Not Disturb feature based on my schedule?  FOR EXAMPLE:
    Monday/Wednesday, I have classes from 8am to 4pm.  So I want it active 8-4.  BUT, I want it to reactivate on Tuesdays from 11am to 2:15pm for my classes.  I want DND deactivated Thursday-Sunday.
    Right now, the only way I can do this is to manually turn it on and off each time.  Before someone calls me lazy, it is far from laziness.  It allows me to have one less thing to worry about.  It allows me to focus on academics and not if I remembered to turn my phone on and off.
    Interestingly, alarm clocks on ipads have this feature.  I have multiple alarms set for different days at different times so I never need to reset my alarm or remember to turn it on.
    If DND doesn't do this (and wont do it), can anyone steer me in the direction on an App that does?????
    I am an apple lover but I have noticed the last year or so, they have been sending out half minded, half finished apps and products.  Maybe DND should be iOS 7 app with the added features and not iOS 6 with such limitations!
    Anyhow, any help with be appreciated!
