Hi,
On my old phone (Nexus 5, stock rooted android Marshmallow) i had it so that at 23:30 the do not disturb mode activated, leaving no sound at all. At 6:00 AM, the dont disturb would turn to the do not disturb where all priority apps make sound.
Because this never worked i forgot about it, until i got my new S7.
After installing the backup from my google account, the S7 does actually turn off all sounds at 23:30, so it has recovered that part of the settings correctly, but here comes the tricky part:
The rule (23:30-6:00 do not disturb) is in the phone, but there's no way to turn it off! There is no apart tab for 'automatic rules', Just the one schedule (which isn't even turned on).
Every night when im watching a movie or even youtube videos or somehing the sound suddenly turns off, and i have to manually disable and re-enable the do not disturb mode to get my sound back.
Any ideas?

Hi all.
I would like to know if there is an app to switch on/off your windows phone automatically. I miss it when i changed from Blackberry to WP. For example i often forget to switch off my phone at night so this app would be very useful for me.
Thanks

I guess it is not a problem to write the aplication witch is able to turn of your phone. But how the hell could aplication turn ON the phone back, if it is tourtned off. For example try to turn on your PC with some kind of application. I guess you get the point.
Of course i get it, even if i'm not a developer. It would be great to have just an auto-switching off app. However, don't know how, blackberry has got it.
I would be really pleased if someone wrote this app to switch off the phone.
thanks again
I actually don't think blackberries turn off completely until the battery is either completely dead or removed. I know when a blackberry is "off" it still has the ability to turn back on when an alarm is going off so I would assume that it just goes into a low power standby state. However, when you turn off Windows Phone, it's off.
This should be posted @ [email protected] section.
I didn't do that because i must write 10 post before writing in that section
Actually, my PC will turn on at a given time, but I don't believe these phones can do the same. Also, if it does turn off at a certain time, you would not be able to have it plugged into a charger. When WP is plugged in, it automatically turns on. I believe that's a hardware design.
Reboot App Perhaps???
I DONT KNOW ABOUT A SHUT DOWN APP BUT HERE IS A REBOOT... PRE-MANGO
If you have pre-Mango (pre-7712+) you can use the attached .xap, its an app that was developed by someone here at the forums... I changed the icon for the start screen but that is all...
For shutdown, just hold the pwr button at this time... sorry... jejeje
I think what he's looking for (as I am) is a version of Phone Alarm or Pocket Phone Zen. They automatically turn things like WIFI, BT, Phone, etc. on or off at preset times. PA can also do that when plugged into a charger so BT will turn on when the phone's in the car holder for hands free. I haven't been able find anything in the Marketplace.
For restart phone on Mango try that app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333740
I use for shut off/on power button.
In Blackberry when you press the power button off it does not get really turned off. Its in sleep mode which actually just closes the user state but the kernel keeps ticking and thats the reason any app in background hooked to kernel can turn it on which is actually waking it up from sleep.
Moreover in sleep mode everything used to get shut off i.e call it airplane mode. So if somebody can make a WP app which can just turn on and turn off the airplane mode, it should work for you.
Have a look at Phone Alarm for WM 6.x It is able to do so much more. Things I would like to see in an app for WP7 are:
scheduled on/off of WIFI, BT, phone, GPS, data connection.
scheduled sync of email at longer intervals like every 6 hours (WP7 max is 2 -not everyone has a data flatrate.)
Scheduled and location based volume adjustment. (quiet at home, loud in the car, etc.)
BT, GPS auto-on if charging ("Car" profile if charging, see next point)
Profiles that can be changed with one click. (for example "Meeting" profile turns off sound, reduces display brightness, turns off WIFI, turns on BT etc.)
doesn't have to be cost free but does need to be bug free

I am trying to find out if there is a Night Mode for the SW2? I often spend nights away from home on business. I need to look at my watch during the night sometimes to check if it's time to catch an early flight. Is there anyway to switch on a Night Mode that stops the watch vibrating and stops the screen automatically lighting up with notifications?
I know I can turn off vibrate and bluetooth manually, but then I don't get notifications stored, and I have to remember to turn them back on when I want normal operation.
It would be nice to have Alarm notifications operate normally (light and vibrate), whilst other notifications come through, but don't light ot vibrate.
Anyone have any suggestions please?
Disable Bluetooth on the smartphone, it's easier.
You can set also a scheduled profile on the phone that at night turns off the Bluetooth and at morning turns it on.

Many thanks TMI. The simplest solutions are often the best
One more question please... Do I need an app for schedulng this (Blocking Mode doesn't seem to control Bluetooth). And, if so, does anyone recommend a simple app for scheduling bluetooth on/off?
Thank you.
There are many free profile scheduling apps on the Play Store
Some examples:

Hi there,
the last coupe of weeks I have the following problem.
At night I have a scheduled 'Do Not Disturb' from 00 am to 6 am. When DND is to disabled at 6 am it stays in Silent Mode , the speaker icon is greyed out and has a diagonal line over it.
I completely disabled DND and re-enabled it, the first night everything went well but this morning, once again, the phone stays muted after DND is turned off automatically.
Anybody else with such a problem and/or a solution?
I know I can try safe mode and some other things but first of all I want o reach out for other user having or knowing this problem.
Well, DND is not the problem. The phone keeps going to a mute state randomly.
I can start removing apps (I removed the ones that can do something on the volume and the mute state but no help).
Are there no apps that can monitor the phone's behavior so I can find out on that way which app is causing the troubles.
Or is there another way to find the culprit without resetting the phone or uninstall apps one-by-one?
Confirmed: after DND the phone keeps in mute state randomly. G965FXXU8DTC5 firmware.
I use my phone with medium power save mode. I will try to use with optimized power save mode.
I manage DND with Bixby Routines. I will try to magage DND with Samsung Routines.
Hi,
I received my Asus rog phone 5 just over a week ago, but I am having issues with DnD. I have 2 schedules. 1 is from 20.30 to 5.40 for work and another is 21.00 to 9.00 for the weekend. Both were originally transferred over from my Samsung note 9. The problem is that DnD will start at the chosen times, but for some reason that I can't work out, it will just turn off. When I go back into DnD settings the schedule are there but DnD will not turn on. DnD will sometimes put the sound mode back to normal and recently it is going into vibrate. There is no warning, the icon for DnD will just turn off and no other problem will jump up from the phone. It just turns off. I do run sleep cycle but having that on or off doesn't have any effect on what DnD does.
I thought there might be issues with the transfer from my Samsung so I deleted all schedules and set them up again. Same issue. There is no exact time that I can tell when DnD turns off, but my Fitbit normally warns me around 21.00 that it is time to wind down. But Fitbit isn't the problem as I have seen DnD off before 21.00. I'm normally in bed before 21.00 so it's very annoying to be woken up my notifications when I'm almost sleep.
I've even tried digital wellness sleep schedule and the same thing happens. It turns the whole bedtime mode to off.
Last night I setup DnD to turn off only when I select it and turned off all schedules, but this morning when I woke DnD was off.
My phone has all the latest updates.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I noticed this on my S22U XSA updated to one UI5.1. Sleep mode (designed to turn off notifications, etc) turns on an alarm at the end of sleep mode.
Even if I change sleep mode to tell it not turn on an alarm, the next day, it is back with an alarm on.
Does anyone else use sleep mode who has seen this?
Does anyone know how to provide feedback to Samsung?
Well...I experienced the same and this on both the S21 ultra and the S22 ultra since the update to UI5.1
Been playing around with it and it seems that the sleep mode triggers it.
I have now do not disturb activated and sleep deactivated.
So in effect do not disturb does the same as sleep mode that all notifications, calls etc are blocked unless you allowed different. At the end do not disturb goes off without an alarm. I have it set for the full week including weekend,
I have not really understood the idea of this sleep mode except that it has more options than a simple alarm.
I couldn't turn off the alarm today ... Pressed so many times and nothing happened.
Had to unlock and exit the app.
I discovered this by accident the other day, super irritating "feature" imo - I already have an alarm set (which, through the magic of Tasker and intents, triggers my Home Assistant server to do a bunch of other stuff) and I figured "sleep mode" would be more like DND, but nope. Sleep Mode got disabled reeaaall quick.
