How do you unselect the SILENCE feature "Only while iPhone is locked" in Do Not Disturb?

Hi,


I was wondering if anyone knows how to turn off both the "Always" and "Only while iPhone is locked" features under the SILENCE section of Do Not Disturb? I don't want my calls and notifications to be silenced ever, especially when the iPhone is locked. It seems like you have to check either one or the other and can't turn them both off. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.3

Its a good suggestion and I do have previews on FOR SOME things. can't do it on all things as if you do, then when you have GPS - then it HIDES your turn area... i'm getting frustrated with Ix and i"ve had iphones since the beginning but i'm getting ready to pitch this thing as its getting more and more frustrating. any other help would be appreciated as this now is not conducive to business AT ALL as no alerts happen or when it does, it decides which ones it wants to notify me of...

Then something is wrong with your phone. Start by restoring if from a back up and testing. If that doesn't resolve the issue, restore from new and test. If neither of those work, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store to have the phone evaluated.

I think you are wrong. imessage SMS and phone calls : none of those either make a ring nor vibrate nor notify me, ever.

The only workaround i found is to activate emergency bypass on several contacts. I'm investigating this issue with apple, so far no luck.

No, he's not wrong. Either DND is on or there's something wrong with your phone. What you're describing is not normal behavior.


I have DND enabled on a schedule. I have it set to silence Always. When DND is not turned on, I get all my notifications exactly as expected, complete with sound.

Hey ! I hope this helps you because it helped me ! So I was getting soooo frustrated because I’d receive calls and put a whole bunch of alarms ! None that I could ever hear ! I saw a comment on here and went ahead and did it and it worked so go to settings then click sounds and haptics and turn off vibrate on silent and vibrate on ring ! It worked right after I turned that off ! Hope it helps :)
