Do not disturb mode enabled during calls

[Vooki]

It has been some days that when I try to call someone, do not disturb mood goes on and when the call finishes it goes off itself. I restarted the device(xperia xz) and went through the settings but still the same. Does any know what is wrong??

The "Do Not Disturb" on calls is an intended feature added by Google in 7.1.1, and it's NOT a bug from Sony side. Google received a lot of feedback from people who do not want their phones to buzz on their heads while calling. But they seem to be not aware that some other people WANT THEIR PHONES TO BUZZ, so they didn't add a toggle to deactivate this feature, yet.

There's a thread on Google Code about it here:

Are you serious ? People are "OK" with them going into DO NOT DISTURB mode when placing or receiving the call ?

For me, I'm indifferent. It causes me no harm and on the other hand, I can live without it.

Hi @Hunaid786,

As @Quester pointed out, this is how it's supposed to work, its not a bug.

You can still turn Do Not Disturb off during the call if you drag the status bar downwards, then tap Do not disturb.

This needs to be done during every single phone call, unfortunately. Is this technically disabling call waiting during a call?!

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry for the late reply, I have been out of office.

@Redaz5, There is no setting to disable this. If you want to disable it you will have to do during the call by dragging down the quick settings menu and tapping on icon for the do not disturb mode.

@Mad_Sharon, I'm afraid that I don't quite understand what you mean. I'm afraid that there is no setting in the phone to disable this since this is Android feature.

@MaheshK, that must be very frustrating. Do you have do not disturb enabled in your phone prior to making / receiving the phone call? It will only remove do not disturb if it wasn't active before the call, otherwise it will revert back to the sound mode that was previously active.

If you could test and see if there is any change when you aren't using your SBH54, I would appreciate it, thanks in advance.

@babyJ, Do you mean that it still visible in the status bar of the phone even if you have disabled it during the call? If that is correct, what does it show in the quick settings menu of the phone?

@Mopar5120, I just tested this out and you still receive the sound when you have call waiting activated, so that feature is not turned off even if the phone is in do not disturb mode during the call.

I will make sure to forward the feedback from all of you regarding this feature internally. However I can't make any promises that this will be changed.
