Do not disturb ( for Android 5.0 or later )

"Do not disturb", a new setting interface in Android 5.0 (Lollipop), decides whether there are sounds when calls and notifications arrive. No matter which preference you set for interruption, you will have all notifications seen on your screen for incoming calls or other events.

Note: This knowledge only applies to devices upgraded to Android 5.0.

 

Selecting different modes of Do not disturb

1. Select your preferred mode in "Settings" -> "Do not disturb" -> "When calls and notifications arrive".

      

 

2. Or, pressing volume down or up key for several times to switch to different modes.

      

 

    Also, when in one mode, select another mode directly or tap gear icon to access settings for Do not disturb.
