Help Blocking mode not working

[baccalynnwv]

When using blocking mode the only thing it blocks are calls. I have it set to block calls and all notifications. But all of the notifications still come through - games, text, etc. Any tips or ideas?

I had that problem once. I rebooted the phone and afterward, blocking mode worked properly.

Some apps like games and SMS have their on setting for notification that is not handled by the S3's notifications. You may have to turn them off in the appropriate apps.

Alternately, you can turn off app data syncing through the "sync" toggle available when you pull down the notification bar. Just don't forget to turn it back on!
