Hello,
Is there any way to make some applications to bypass DND mode and work normally even when DND is enabled?
On my previous phone i could for example select Instagram video calls to bypass DND mode , now there is no such option.
I guess its due to the different android version but is there a way?
Thanks in advance for your help
I haven't found such option in the settings, but you might do a workaround with Tasker (intercept selected notifications, turn off DND, push custom notification with sound, turn DND on again).

I have googled and searched the forum, but I don't seem to find a right answer for this. All I want to do is when I put my phone on silence mode. I will still receive vibrate notification for emails and texts.
I tried to download the tools from the market and played with the setting for hours. I still cannot get it to work.
Someone please help!
so you want it to make no sounds ?
you don't need any fancy tools>>
just settings > sound> general> silent mode
and settings > sound> general>vibration> only when not in silent mode
you can probably get most behaviors by messing with those 2 settings combined with phone ringtone and notification rintone you should be able to make it do whatever you want without any other software
if you just want to kill the phone ringer but leave notification vibrations
then vibration only in silent mode
turn off silent mode
and set the phone ringtone to silent
and turn down the volume all the way

Thanks but it is not working for me. I still can't get vibration for emails or texts... I don't think it's a hardware defect.. but it is not working for me....
Hi,
Blocking mode allows a few settings. I can set it to block incoming calls, turn off notifications, and turn off the alarm and timer. I can also add contacts to be let through, even when blocking mode is turned on. I was wondering if there is a way to exclude specified apps from blocking mode.
My wife has a pretty specific need. She want to enable blocking mode, while leaving alarms and timers enabled. The problem is, she doesn't want to use the stock timer, because she doesn't like the ringtone that it uses and she wants to specify her own. She uses a separate timer app.
Questions:
1. Is there any way to specify the ringtone used for the default timer app?
2. Is there a way to specify applications that can ignore blocking mode?
3. Is there an app that mimics blocking mode, but allows applications to bypass it?
Thanks
Has anyone noticed that Whatsapp seems to override the "Do Not Disturb" aka DND settings?
I keep getting popups even though I have "Alarms only" DND activated. I do not get sounds but only the popup which activates the screen and lights up the room.
I also noticed that if I set settings-->notifications-->whatsapp notification to Level -1 (as in no notifications) I still get popups, usually the second msg from the same person activates the popup and screen lights up.
I also tested my wife's phone Mi5 with RR nougat as well and same occurs with her phone so it is not a phone thingy but rather a broken DND by android/LOS or RR bug.
Could someone test this with their phone and with another rom perhaps?
Steps to reproduce:
1. Set phone to DND (alarms only) and check that Whatsapp does not override dnd settings (settings-->notifications-->whatsapp)
2. Turn screen off and use another phone to send whatsapp messages (from 1 to several).
3. Check if you get popup messages from whatsapp.

Am I the only one using DND and whatsapp here?
Hello. I had this issue as well, perhaps it is indeed a problem with DND and heads up notifications, as I was surprised when I activated DND and still got WhatsApp notifications.
You can always disable notifications per app, but that's not a proper solution. On the other hand there is an option in Settings->Sound->Do not disturb, which allows you to customize certain aspects like what should it block. That was the solution for me, there is an option to block all visual disturbances with screen on or off, however this may be an option not available in the stock ROM (I'm using Dirty Unicorns, curious name, awesome ROM). Still look for the option in your settings :victory:

Cheers mate for the reply.
Unfortunately I have that setting already enabled, so all visual disturbances should be blocked when screen is off. But if that setting works for you in DU, then perhaps my Z2 RR has a bug and as well Mi5's RR.
I bet this is not a ROM issue but rather WA or Android issue cos the same thing happens with RR, AEX and iirc AICP.
Hi Guys,
How to activate the silent mode in the 5t? I am looking for complete silent mode like we have in Samsung phones. I am able to reduce noise level but it cannot be reduced fully. I am looking for silent mode+vibration for calls.
Thanks
Over volume button You have slider to switch sound profiles, test it in all 3 states. You can also set own settings in there.

Have tried the DND button but a. it disables all the vibration and b. it does not solve the purpose of silent for every call, sms, notification etc and vibration for them all. Never thought such a simple setting would be missing.
I'm using "Ringer Modes - Quick Tile" to get the mode like Samsung
Just slide the switch on the left side of the phone (right above the volume buttons) all the way up. That's the vibrate only mode.
If you switch it to the middle you get Do Not Disturb mode and all the way down is normal mode. The switch work the exact same way as the silent/vibrate mode of all other phones.
When activating DND mode, the menu with the 3 options (until next alarm, during X hours or until it's deactivated) is not displayed. DND mode is activated and you must deactivate it manually. Is there any way to fix it so the menu with the 3 options is displayed?
Regards
