Phone goes into Do Not Disturb mode on its own - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

I'm having issues, my phone goes into "Do Not Disturb" mode on it's own. I think it has something to do with the Android wear connection to my watch. I've reset the watch and checked to make sure it isn't set to turn on that mode. But still at random times my phone goes quiet. Curious to hear if anyone has had the same issue or a cure. Thanks!

yes i have the same issue with pixel xl & Huawei watch 🤔

I have the same issue as well. It also happens on calls.

It's a new feature in 7.1.1

You have to disable the automatic rules that are created in settings. I just deleted all the premade ones in there and my issue went away.

I have an Android Wear watch and have the same problem. Are you saying the deleting the built-in Weekend, Weeknight, and Event rules fixed it for you?

I have done this too and my phone goes into DnD mode when I make or take phone calls. It becomes an issue when I get off the phone about 50% of the time it stays in DnD mode and I have to manually turn DnD mode off. Anyone found a work around for this yet?

I posted this to fix it. Its a hidden menu https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/how-to-off-disturb-section-using-volume-t3598695

Has anyone solved this? My Pixel XL keeps turning DND on when I've manually turned it off. I do not use a smart watch or any other accessory. And I have already deleted the single Automatic Rule which I programmed (my phone didn't come with any pre-installed rules). I'm a doctor and keep missing super-important phone calls because my phone isn't ringing. (It's sitting in a cradle on my desk, charging -- so I know I'm not accidentally hitting the volume down button.)
Thanks!

The only sure fire way, if you're sure it's not an app you installed or setting you set, is to factory reset including wiping system OR flashing stock via fastboot. I mean technically if you had the time and you didn't wanna do all that you could boot the phone into safe mode, then wait and see if it does the same thing. If it doesn't , you know it's an app you have installed.

If muted there will be a bell with a slash on it. Slide down while on the watch face to mute/unmute.
Airplane mode, say "OK Google, Settings" or tap the face, slide up, second from the last, third from the top.
I had to do a reset and it fixed itself. I think the issue was going out of range multiple times with the htc one m8. I had this same issue with my sony smartwatch 2. It would just eventually not connect anymore and would have to repair. With this watch it had a false connect even though I would unpair it thru the settings and set up the watch in the android wear app. It still didn't do anything. A reset of the watch would fix the issue with the resetup of the watch. I think this is an issue. If the device goes out of range multiple times with a connect and disconnect it eventually stops connecting then reports a false connect.

I've woken up to this problem this morning as well. Airplane mode is not on.. It's not Muted. Just doesn't work. Did a reset on the watch.. still nothing. Phone is a Note 3
Edit* Power cycled my phone and now they work again.. weird
Also, make sure under settings->security on the phone that you have notification access enabled for wear.

The Moto 360 doesn't make noise. On my phone, notifications still act the same with the sound and what not. The watch face for me turns on and vibrates. I have an LG G3
Just had to reset again cause it stopped receiving notifications but showed connected.

When you lose connection with your 360, if you open the Wear app on your phone, does it still say connected? If so, try and reconnect with Android Wear to your 360, does it not reconnect? (This is happening to me)
Try reconnecting on Wear, your 360 may say that you've lost connection (Cloud with a slash icon). Try reconnecting again from the Wear app, if that doesn't work, try repairing your 360, that should work. (4/5 times it works for me)
Resetting does seem to work as well, I did it yesterday and went 16 hours without a disconnect, previous day was 7 in 6 hours. But this morning I walked away from my 360 with my phone and lost connection and it started disconnecting again.
Q: What ROM are you using with your One?
Just got mine today and it's disconnected twice on me already. Although it says its connected I don't get notifications. Hope we can get some insight into this.

Butt Dialing Sister

Purchase an OP3 for my sister when they were 1st released. For some reason, her phone frequently butt calls me. I can never get a straight answer from her what she is doing when it happens, but today she said her phone was just sitting in her purse. Can anybody think of what feature/setting/option she may have toggled on or off that is causing this? I believe she is on unrooted stock 3.2.7. Thanks

Turn on the pocket mode and probably ask her to put a password on her phone.

To top it off, I think she has "Proximity Wake" also turned on. That will really cause issues in a purse...LOL

Haha yes. Its a useful feature if your phone is usually on a desk otherwise it can be pretty annoying feature.
Sent from my OnePlus3 using XDA Labs
I just ran a styrofoam cup over my phone with proximity wake enabled and it woke up my phone, so depending on if it's stored during commuting around like pocket or purse, it's quite likely that's the culprit. Other user's suggestions would be a good call
Well, I tried the solutions recommended here but they did not work.
To recap,
1. Turned on Pocket Mode
2. Turned off Proximity Wake
These two setting did not solve problem. Any other suggestions to keep OP3 from Butt dialing?

Do Not Disturb Mode Malfunction

Hey all! Anyone have an issue after hanging up from a call where the DND mode literally glitches on and off on and off.... Several times a second...
The icon just repeatedly flashes in my notification bar. Either rebooting the device or using my Asus Zen Watch 2 to turn DND off will cut it out. Anyone else see this type of issue?
Its been reset several times. Also now running Pure Nexus. It occurs on both stock and custom rom.
I know the "Server Unavailable" error when placing a call or answering is a known issue on these devices. This one tho I have not seen anything about it.
Thanks for any help guys!
same issue
Im having the same issue but im running a Nexus 6P 7.1.1 Dec Update and an ASUS Zenwatch 3

Have you noticed any difference while leaving the watch disconnected or powered off?
I didn't have the DND flashing on and off, but it would go into DND mode after almost every call. Someone suggested deleting the three default DND profiles in settings and that fixed it for me.

Screen won't turn on for incoming calls

Hi. I bought the Note 8 (Verizon) last week, and everything seemed fine, but then 2 days ago the screen simply won't turn on when I have an incoming call. The phone rings, but the screen won't come on. I have to unlock the phone, and swipe down the notification bar just to answer the call. I've googled around but can't find an answer to this issue for this particular phone. Any suggestions/ideas?
Maybe give a factory reset a go.

I was actually forced to do a hard reset this morning. The phone would NOT come on, no matter what I tried, couldn't even go into Safe Mode. Problem still persists. I'm actually thinking of exchanging it since I'm within the 14 day period.

Hard reset....As in power off and on right? Try booting into recovery mode and deleting cache and data.

3 Factory Resets later, booting into Safe Mode, not downloading ANYTHING else, same scenario. Verizon is shipping a replacement to my house, I should have it by Tuesday. The Tech at the Verizon Store actually called my phone so I could show him the lack of screen activation. He said he's never seen this before either.
FIGURED IT OUT! Settings--Display&Lights--Turn off double tap to wake-up to solve issue! ...
This was set somehow, I disabled that and now my phone properly lights up for calls and I can actually answer them.

Another way to fix this is to call yourself on another phone while your Note 8 screen is on. When the call comes in, don't answer but slide down the notification bar and you will see your call. Adjust notifications to not block/be silent.

I went into Settings, Display, but nothing about double tap to wake-up. Samsung runs on AMOLED and that function is on other screens like Sony Xperias.
I do notice another thing going into Notifications settings and I see that the Phone app is Muted. I don't know how to get out of it.
The solution is the person who posted above. You call yourself, and swipe to unblock Silence notifications for your phone app. It's weird how it was set that way, but that's the best solution!
How do I unmute phone call notifications?
Thanks! My incomimg calls now appear on my screen!
I tired the unblock silence notifications and that still has not fixed it as well as a hard reset. Anyone else got any suggestions?
Thanks

Fix to dark screen on incoming call
Step 1: call youself
Step 2: swipe down on notification bar to view the call(usually how you would answer while dealing with this issue)
Step 3: swipe the call to the right and click the setting wheel.
Step 4: select "do not hide notifications"
Step 5: test call after doing this with the screen off, its should work.

Phone calls on lock screen

I've been smashing my head over this to no avail. Prior to side loading 8.1, when my phone rang the caller and swipe up/down would appear on the lock screen, now it rings, but nothing on the lock screen till I wake it with the fingerprint sensor. Did I miss something? Was this changed? I've been through the settings and still can't see anywhere that I missed. This a security feature so no one can see who's calling till you hit the sensor? Any feed back would be appreciated.
I agree surprised more are not annoyed...lol
Doublecore said:
Well it seems it's only happening when connected to Bluetooth. I hadn't noticed since I'm connected to my headset all day at work. Disconnected from Bluetooth and had my wife call me...screen popped right on. So it's another Bluetooth bug I guess.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tested incoming phone calls with and without bluetooth, and came to the same result. Since it's very annoying for the screen to not turn on, I ended up making a macro with Macrodroid to turn the screen on when a call comes in. This workaround will be sufficient for me until Google fixes the bug.
I posted on this same issue last week. It's the last update to Google Phone app that broke this. I don't have the time to report it to them...so hopefully it gets fixed!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/google-phone-update-bug-t3718424
*Edit- To fix(?), uninstall the phone app and it will remove the update. Should work then. Of course you won't be able to use Duo for video calling within the dialer...but I couldn't care less about that.
I just had this happen yesterday. Here is a work around with Tasker and Secure Task to wake screen on incoming call.
Import it in Profiles tab in Tasker and make sure you have Secure Task and have it configured with adb.

This may be related to the Proximity Sensor bug introduced with 8.1. Do you have a screen protector on your device? Does it cover the PS?
Nope.. No protector on phone at all.

It started for me on the Google Phone update to version 15 on Dec. 14th. I never had this issue on 8.1 that I did the OTA sideload when I got my phone on Dec. 4.
My proximity sensor is fine. Even with always on display, AOD goes off in pocket and turns back on when I pull it out. On a phone call the screen blanks when I put it to my ear and wakes when I pull it away from my head.
Yep -- I just ran into the problem today as well. I've got 8.1.0 on my Pixel 2 XL, and I get this behavior (display not waking up for incoming call) when connected via Bluetooth -- to my car, headphones (Sennheiser PXC 550) or to my Jabra Speak 710 BT speakerphone.
I considered trying Drupe or Truecaller, but then I read that packet sniffing tests show them sending your contacts data off their servers...so I think I'll wait for a fix from Google. Really annoying. There are a couple of threads on this in Google's product forums / Pixel User Community:

So far, Google doesn't appear to be weighing in with any useful commentary. The only "fix" for now seems to be "uninstalling" the phone app (which just reverts back to the OEM installed version) and then not accepting updates to the app. But I've read that this can spin up other issues.

Thanks. If this issue goes on much longer, I'll probably try that. Oddly enough, despite having played with custom Android ROMs and modding over the years, I never used Tasker -- concerned that having the add'l service(s) running in the background around the clock would be more of a battery drain.
I updated my phone app yesterday, and the screen lights up again upon receiving a phone call. I disabled the macro that I made in Macrodroid just to make sure.

Thanks for the info. My phone app updated too, so I'll disable the Tasker profile and see if it lights up without it for me too.
Is there a xposed module to disable the stupid proximity sensor? I'm having some issues with it. It does not wake my screen up when I pull it away from my face.

I can confirm V16 fixes the phone app and resolves this issue. It's being rolled out gradually, in waves. If you don't see the update on the Play Store, you can download it from APKmirror. Start here:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/
My issue is the exact opposite..
I answer a call on my bluetooth headset while the phone is in my pocket and buttons start being pressed so I have to take the phone out to lock the screen.
Any quick fixes on this issue?
I'm late to the party, but I fixed this on a Pixel 2 XL in our household. In the system's app settings I force stopped the phone app and cleared the app cache, then I disabled the "Flip to Shhh" feature in the phone app settings. If that fix works for you, please leave a reply so we can validate.
