Apple's Do Not Disturb feature is now fixed, just like that
0. phoneArena posted on 07 Jan 2013, 13:40
What do you know, the Do Not Disturb feature of iOS has just fixed itself, just like Apple foresaw. For those who don't remember, iOS users started complaining about a problem with the DND feature after New Year's Eve. The thing is that DND has a Schedule option which allows the user to set a time when the feature should automatically turn on and off...

On Android I use a profile app that tells me on the home screen which mode it is in.
I'd be very careful with this feature come December 31, 2013.

I was wondering about this bug resurfacing some time later. If the issue is with the first week of a year, I would expect that by then, some iOS update before then would have this fix in it. For a bug that lasts one week, it is likely that trying to put out a bug fix within a week's time frame for a bug that only lasts one week is not worth the effort and risk of possibly introducing new bugs.

NO, IT IS NOT FIXED!
Turn back the date in your phone, any date before January 7th and you will se that it is not fixed.

Maybe you won't do that but it is the fact that it is not fixed, the bug is still here...

Mine worked flawlessly this morning. Marty next Saturday nite do not disturb is sending u back to the future. I installed a flux capacitor on my iPhone so when I go back in time to the 5th of January do not disturb will still work, as long I have some plutonium and 1.1 jiggawatts of electricity.

Seems that this bug is painful subject for you, blame Apple not me. ;)

No it's painful for the droiders that r trolling this article trying to dis apple users who really don't care. I get a kick out of it though.

So, 7 days of important missed calls does not matter? If they figured out the problem, why wouldn't they fix it? 3 days of missed calls would have been better than 7.

This is an Apple/iOS thread and I only see Fandroids. Instead of complaining about something that's already fixed itself. Why not complaing something that's still not fixed and bricking S3s left and right?

Could've sworn Samsung released an update that fixes that, with an apology. apple would've told me I'm using it wrong and the phone is operating exactly as it should.

As am I. Droiders hang out on apple threads so much. It shows that's they care more than they say.

Been fixed already by an update. They also replaced any dead S3 and note 2 including rooted phones. They didnt just sit around and do nothing. They actually handled the situation perfectly and its been proven to have been a software issue. So, this makes your point stupid.

No it really does invalidate his point. This...really is not debatable. How you fail to grasp that is astounding. It's like denying that water is wet, your denial is that freaking stupid.

Google should have taken the same step as Apple with their "December missing calender", just wait until December 2012 is over. Then a month later, Walla!!.. fixed we're in January 2013, we do not need that month anymore. Problem fixed!! Apple gangnam style.

Droiders don't mention android problems, cuz they're too busy on apple articles secretly lusting for an iOS device.

It's not that they're not mentioning them, they just fixed them and went above and beyond by including rooted phones. If this is regarding the S3

How long is it taking Samsung to fix their bug that's killing S3s?
14. lolioslol (banned) posted on 07 Jan 2013, 14:37 6 1
You don't pay attention very well do you? They've already released a patch for the UK days ago, and they are replacing the (VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF) affected units no questions asked. As an apple fan, you should be familiar with the concept of software glitches/bugs. How is apple maps treating you?
19. Ninetysix posted on 07 Jan 2013, 14:46 0 9
BRB moving to the UK to fix my S3's bug. The apple issue is already fixed whereas millions of S3 users are still counting down on when their S3 will just die.
I don't use Apple maps thanks. Besides, they have an option like downloading and using Google maps. They are not stuck with it you know? Does the S3 users have an option other than moving the the UK? LOL.

You're right, I forgot the world revolves around you and you alone. I also find it funny that for someone who supposedly owns an S3 you sure like to sh*t all over it.

I'm sorry but Samsung's new firmware did not fix the issue.

I just read the ONE person to claim their phone still died. I just wanted to point at that, that ONE person was using modified software... I only bothered to read the 2nd link and I had to search for it. Some people had doubts, but none have experienced anything else except problems with their modified software.

Would Apple warranty Jailbroken iPhones? Samsung warrantied rooted phones!
18. tedkord posted on 07 Jan 2013, 14:46 1 4
I wonder what the issue was in the code? The fact that Apple could tell last week that it would work after Jan. 7th indicates they knew what was wrong.
Its been well over a decade since I did any programming (maybe two), but I can't imagined what would cause it to malfunction on specific dates.

The bug has not corrected itself on my iPhone yet...as of 17:23 January 7.

Probably because you're a troll, no one likes or respects you, and you have all the class and appeal of a wet fart.
Just a hunch.

Well Thanx for your appraisal. And actually I have the appeal of two wet farts...so your hunch is close LMAOOOOO!!! Gonna thumb u up too for that fine hunch

Apple got the publicity for it's DND feature without any effort. And that's why it happened in the first place. If not for the 'bug' how many of us would have thought that this is a 'great feature' and needs attention?
