Stuck in "Do not disturb"/silent mode

Help Fairphone 2
10

Same started for me yesterday. Maybe it was related to adding a contact with a ‘No ringtone’ setting.
I could not get out of it - the workaround with the short rule was not working for me.
Luckily after pressing the ‘Volume down’ button and immediately disabling silent mode, then raising the volume with the slider, I’m out of this mode.
I will watch if this is recurring…

Should this be added to the bugtracker and does anyone know how to do that?

Just create an account in the bugtracker and (after first searching if it has already been reported) create an issue report there.
Please come back and post a link the report here then.

I ran into the same issue today, I have not modified the OS and I am on the official Fairphone OS. I reported the issue to the bug tracker: https://bugtracker.fairphone.com/project/fairphone-fairphone-os-android-6/issue/70

Thanks for adding it to bugtracker! I think that’s really good!
I just wouldn’t see severity as “major” (but more as “minor”) as it’s easy to solve when you know how to and as it seems to happen very rarely (at least for me only once and according to this thread for others also rarely).

Update: Developers at Fairphone “rejected” the issue, there will not be a fix by Fairphone as long as the Fairphone is running android 6. The reason for the rejection is, that this would be a “generic” and rare Bug directly in the Android codebase that affects other devices but never got fixed by Google. Rick from Fairphone supplied thus link:
https://support.google.com/nexus/forum/AAAANseOu18LX962Qnx2Do/?hl=en

Please use the workaround above, which worked for me.

Well I have just updated to the latest software and now have this bug too. Quite irritating.
I also suffer from the “do not disturb until next alarm” not available at the end of the month bug (!)

Hi,

I’ve been using the “do not disturb” mode almost every night for more than a year.
I’m using Fairphone Open, and the problem appeared for the first time with 17.09.3 and is still a problem in 17.10.1

mav’s workaround works for me:

I tried that suggestion. Didn’t help. Why is this post closed?

Have you tried @mav 's suggestion or my workaround from post 3?

I experienced this bug too: simply adding rule and modifying the time of this new rule (as suggested above) was not sufficient enough. Luckily re-doing this (create a rule and modifying time) in #dic:safemode helped to remove this stuck notification.

same here - thank you soo much for this nice little workaround

After my alarm woke me this morning, I suddenly can’t disable the “Do not disturb” setting om my phone, and can’t enable ringtones and such.
When I try to push the button, nothing happens, and it keeps to stay in “Do not disturb (only alarms)” setting.
I hope someone can help.

Reboot dosen’t help

I was stuck in “Alarms only” mode and the workaround worked for me.
Is this bug being solved for the next update?
Thanks.

Not for Android 6, apparently, but Android 7 is coming.

Hi,

I had the same problem this morning and the workaround worked for me as well!

Best regards!

I just had the same problem, and found the workaround helpful. However, I hope there will be a more permanent fix.

I expect it to be fixed in Nougat, but we won´t know until it is available.
