How do you guys deal with iPhone, iPad and Mac ringing at the same time? (Continuity)

[bigchrisfgb]

Well I don't have an iPad (I had one but I had no use for it) so my calls and texts only go through to my MBP. They key thin here is that my MBP is only on when I'm using it, so it never makes a noise when I don't want it too or don't need it too. I would imagine that it's a bit more of a problem for iPad users who will have the iPad turned on and lying around the house somewhere.

I love this feature. The only annoying part of it is when you answer the call while being in front of your Mac, and the Mac continues to ring for a second or so. I wish it would recognize right when you picked up the phone, but there's definitely lag.

Do you guys get annoyed whenever you get a phone call, message, etc and they all ring on all your devices because of continuity?

If so, what do you guys do?

Set up DND on your iPad and MacBook Pro when you want quiet time......

Oh yeah that is one of the annoying problems when you pick up from a device and continues to ring.

Hopefully they fix this in iOS 9

I think my problem with it, is that the rings don't stop quickly enough, when you've already picked up and your Mac is still blasting the ringtone.

Another thing is missed call, when I've acknowledged the missed call on my iPhone. It should disappear on Mac's Notification Center as well.

YES, YES, YES! Very annoying that you have to acknowledge the missed call on all devices.

I think Apple forgot to figure out the rest of the code for the feature, in that continuity should recognize actions among the devices, not just trigger the action on all devices. If I decline a call on one device, the others should stop ringing.

After the first week of thinking it was a cool feature, I turned it off because it this exact problem was driving me crazy.
