I have a feeling that the answer is no, but do any of you know of a way to get rid of the persistent notification icon that sits on the top left of the notification bar, when you turn on Blocking Mode? It's like a circle with a horizontal bar in it.
I get the rationale for this persistent icon, but my preference would be to get rid of it, while still using the Blocking Mode. At minimum, I would be fine with the icon appearing during the times when Blocking Mode is active (I have it set between 11PM and 6AM), but don't want to live with the icon all day...
On a side note... It's funny but I tried the iphone 5 for a few months, and there would be minor annoyances. Whenever I came across a question, I would search Google, and the general response by iphone users would be "Why would you want to do that?" or a long reprimand on why you shouldn't do that certain activity. I remember call blocking was one. Being able to add ringtones without connecting to a computer was another. There were several. The iphone community is crazy! Very protective of the cult, and shocked that you would question a limitation. I even remember one post asking why anybody should want a phone larger than 3.5 inches, when that's definitely the optimal size...
Conversely, the android community is fantastic, by and large. If the answer is no, that's fine. But at least I don't get a 10 minute lecture on my gall at asking such a question... And android users, in general, seem more open to customization, individualization and investigation, never a bad thing...
