iOS 6's 'Do Not Disturb' Not Shutting Off Automatically on New Year's Day

Another simple yet damn annoying cockup from the iOS devs again.

Sloppy.

Did not get the error.

I wonder though if DND does not work occasionally for a small set of users and nobody reports it and its only made the news because of the day that's in it.

Could this just be a "normal" bug?

I've been using DND since it became available and this never happened to me before today 01/01/2013.

I love how we have all this advanced technology but we apparently still can't work out how to make a ****ing clock work properly

Good job alarms override Do Not Disturb!

Yes, Scott Forstall issued Order 66 (kill Do Not Disturb) to all iOS devices in retaliation.

I woke up at around 7:15 local time and noticed my iPhone's DND was still on, but the iPad was off. Not a big deal for me and within 30 minutes of my noticing this, the iPhone's DND went off on its own.

Maybe this bug is what the Mayan calendar really predicted!

Aside from the facts not fitting my case, I consider such an attitude to be that of living in fear of life.

It worked as normal for me
Do not disturb is one of my favourite features
I have mine automatically set between the hours of 22:00 and 7:00

Why can't apple get these simple things right?
It just blows my mind.

Yet another fail. What's going on apple?
Are your programmers that hopeless?

Same here. Worked as expected.

Worked fine on my iPads and iPhones. Set to go into DND mode at 10pm and come off at 7am.

Maybe now we know why Scott Forstall left. Add one more thing to your list to fix, Eddy.

So, the problem with not receiving call and msg notifications in the morning during one of the biggest hangovers is.....?

Software of all kind will always have bugs.

More at 11.

In all seriousness, people here are overreacting about this. It's a small bug.

As an Android fan, I'm more concerned about the Jelly Bean bug where paid apps won't let you stay logged in when you reboot your device. That's an annoying bug.

This DND thing is merely a one off minor annoyance. Calm down.

That's why we activate "repeated calls" or "allow calls from"

Scumbag Apple tried to create more Forever Alone guys this new year Or may be it was helping those who'd have partied hard and you know.. kind of tried to speak to their exes.

Mine is set to come out of DND at 5am.

Its 8:54 now, and no sign if DND.

No sign of issue here

The problem with this bug is that you can't program DND again. You can only turn it off and on manually. If you activate the program option it turns DND on again, regardless your schedule.

I had the issue, so for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be consistent. I have an iPhone 5 (AT&T).

It's just passed 1am on January 2 here in Australia, and my DND has not reactivated tonight, on both my iPhone and iPad. I've had to manually turn it on.

DND was fine on mine as well this morning. I've used the schedule feature since day 1 of it being available. Love it.

Happy New Year everyone!
