Hah, didn't read that part.

Apple isn't going downhill from here. Geez people. How soon we forget that apple has had these issues since Steve was alive. Just because he is gone doesn't mean that apple is getting worse. Not everything is perfect and the rest of everything made by apple works just as good, if not better, than some other devices. Most everything that is. They still have work to do.

I read the news article and checked my phone to see if the DND sign was there... and it wasn't...

Failed to turn on at my scheduled 1AM PST here. We'll see if it'll turn itself off automatically in the morning...

Mine worked just fine here in Western Australia

I had this issue on my iPhone 5, iPhone 4 and iPad Mini this morning here in Germany. Turned it off manually now.

i actually turned off the "do not disturb" last nights so my kids in America could call me. However this morning at 11 AM I see the crescent moon in the top even though I'm set to not be disturbed between 10:30 PM and 7 AM. Hopefully they get this fixed soon. I thought maybe the phone was on California time, but it is set to the Rome TimeZone and my clock is correct.

That's 2 consecutive times within 3 minutes...

You got an S3 running iOS 6!? Well it is a step in the right direction!

;0)

Oh the humanity what will we ever do?!?!

[funandblindness]

This is why people were fired.

Just tried to randomly set another time to see if the DND feature is working, it's not so therefore we will have to wait for a software update by Apple which obviously will take forever!!! HNY Folks :-)

Breaking news! iOS source code revealed! Explains all stupid bugs that should not even relate to the current year! Would have killed thousands of people at the end of 1999!

if(currentYear == 2012){
automaticallyDisableDoNotDisturb = true;
}else{
automaticallyDisableDoNotDisturb = false;
print("Looks like it's time to get a new phone buddy!");
beginHardwareMeltdown();
};

I don't think you understand the meaning of "'Do Not Disturb' not shutting off".

iOS knows from you drunk dialling your ex, your questionable and off-horizontal photos, erratic GPS co-ordinates and (unusually) poor spelling that you have a hangover. If DND has not deactivated, it's because you have something to be ashamed of and it's letting you sleep it off.

I had this problem this morning. I have my DND set from 00:00 to 07:00
I managed to work around the 'issue' by changing my schedule to 23:59 to 07:00 - hey presto, problem eliminated.

Right, thanks for clearing this up for us.

Mine happily came out of Do Not Disturb.

[MyRomeo]

Mine worked as normal, I know, got woke up by a text message at 8am uk time!

My iphone 5 turned on DND last night at 11:30 NYE and turned DNd off when I woke up this morning

Tried that, then set a quiet time just for 10mins and it did NOT go into DND!

As I mentioned before I think it's a software fix by Apple that is needed.

[Schmitty11]

Mine did not turn off at 7am as scheduled to.

[shortcrust]

I missed a couple of calls this morning because of this. No big deal for me but it's depressing to see the usual cultish dismissal of the problem.

Yes, it's getting pretty ridiculous that they have glitches like this over and over. You could almost say that Apple devices messing up on times is, ironically, getting to be like clockwork....

[TC400]

I didn't turn it off I did get some texts but they didn't wake me up lol.
