You have a lot of work to do. You’re on a deadline. You’re stressing out because people are constantly dropping by your desk saying hi, how you’re doing because you’re in a computer lab. You need to block everybody out. What do you do? Slap on some headphones and tape this sign onto your back. That should do the trick. You can work without any interruption now. More »
We’ve highlighted commercials for mobile phones from Samsung, Nokia and Apple in the past, but a new ad Apple is pushing out starting on January 1st is completely ironic considering how the feature they decided to highlight in their latest commercial is currently not working properly.
The latest commercial for the iPhone 5 highlights iOS 6′s Do Not Disturb mode, which, when it’s working, allows you to have only important phone calls come through within a certain time frame. It also allows your phone to ring if you receive multiple calls back-to-back, but other than those two instances, your iPhone will remain silent for the time frame you choose.
As of now, the feature is still buggy for some iOS 6 users, to which Apple responded with “just wait until January 7th and it’ll start working correctly again.” For the time being, Do Not Disturb users should keep an eye on their phone before going to bed and after waking up to ensure your dreams where you’re playing table tennis with the Williams sisters goes on without a hitch.

We’re one day into the new year and folks running iOS 6 on their iPhones have had their lives turned completely upside down if they’re regular users of its Do Not Disturb feature. It seems when we moved from the old and tired year of 2012 into the new and happening 2013, a bug in the feature didn’t automatically turn itself off, leaving many of us ignoring important texts and phone calls longer than we intended to.
The bug was acknowledged by Apple today and have announced a fix that translates to “this will start working after January 7, 2013.”
Symptoms
After January 1st, 2013, Do Not Disturb mode stays on past its scheduled end time.
Resolution
Do Not Disturb scheduling feature will resume normal functionality after January 7, 2013. Before this date, you should manually turn the Do Not Disturb feature on or off. To turn off the scheduling feature, tap Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb and switch Scheduled to Off.
If you’ve experienced this bug with your Do Not Disturb feature, we recommend you keep an eye on your iPhone for the next couple of days as we’re sure your long lost love, a billionaire looking to get rid of some cash and David Hasselhoff will all be calling in the next couple of days.
