Can't get Do Not Disturb to block cslls

[NewArtDroid]

I want to block calls weekdays from 8 - 12 from everyone. Settings are in those pictures, but I am still getting calls.

This webpage should help explain it more...

Just to clarify, you want your ringtone to be silent or you want your calls to be blocked completely?

So, is the ringer still audible when you are getting calls in that timeframe?

Not sure if I understood that. web page. Basically, from 8 - 12 on weekdays, I would like no ringtone, no vibration on calls. Even better if it goes straight to voice mail.

What I am saying is if you want the call blocked entirely?

Meaning:

No ringtone
No vibration
No call history
No notification on screen.

I'm uncertain if this will work as you want but... from what I'm reading/seeing... it'll be up to you to test since I don't want mine off ever.

This probably has no control over call history ( nor anything to do with when things are sent to voicemail AFAIK )

Settings -> Sound & Notifications -> Do Not Disturb

Select Automatic Rules
Create a new rule by selecting Add rule and name it as you want
Select Time Rule
Under Days, select the days you want the rule to be active
Set the Start time and End times
On the Do not disturb setting... select Total silence

Make certain the rule is actually turned on ( upper right corner switch )


Give that a shot... if it doesn't work... then Do Not Disturb doesn't do as you are wanting and you'll need to look at other possible options.

Here is a basic overview of the settings but doesn't give too many specific examples https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/108956/p/1449,9582

I'm ok with it in call history. Just no notification. Basically, I'm in conference calls for work and my wife often randomly calls or accidentally calls for no reason.

I tried creating the rule. I had done this beforehand, but Priority Only. Now I changes to Total Silence. Let us see how it works.

So doesn't look like it worked. Here are screen shots but I am still getting calls

Under Priority Only Allows...you have "Selected callers" chosen.

Are the Selected callers the only ones that are coming through?

Or are you still receiving calls from everyone in that time frame?

Also repeat callers is turned on (ring if somebody calls twice in 15 minutes) - so if somebody calls back a second time in less than 15 minutes, it will ring.
