I've disable tracking in silent mode. However, although I have set manually my phone to priority mode, I notice in the morning that it has been set to 'Alarms Only'

It is vital that I am able to take calls in priority mode so can you advise how to stop this happening please.

Also, would be useful to have options to automatically turn on DND when tracking starts, including a choice of DND type.

I am using Nexus 6P on stock 6.0

Thanks,
Stuart

Just to add that I didn't play a lullaby either which does result in this mode if you have the auto turn down option on. Again, it would be usefull if this could silence to a selectable DND mode and/or only silence media volume, leaving DND mode alone. As it is, lullabies are unuseable for me as I need to receive calls

I've tried replicating but it doesn't always seem to switch to Alarms onll, just some of the time.

Another observation when starting tracking, a quick test shows that if I have tracking in silent mode enabled, if DND is disabled, it will switch it to Alarms Only DND mode but if DND is set to Priority Only, it leaves it alone. Not tried this for a real life full night test.

The important thing is, I need a 100% reliable way of leaving phone in priority DND mode. I don't have that confidence yet.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

It appears to be down to the Play Alarm In Silent Mode setting, although the behaviour doesn't seem logical.

With it enabled & phone already set to priority only, when the alarm sounds, Do not disturb is disabled, then once stopped, it Toggles to Alarm only mode.

If I disable the play alarm in silent mode option & DND is set to priority only, the alarm plays fine & the DND mode remains on priority mode throughout.

So I do have a workaround at least, but a bit confusing.

Still would like to have the silencing Lullaby to reduce just media volume & not notification volume too.

I see in another discussion, lollypop didn't allow SAA to turn on silent mode so something must have changed in Marshmallow.

Hello,

please note that Lollipop make it impossible for apps to enable silent mode any more. In addition silent mode makes even alarms to be silent.

So we do maximum we can on L. To wake you up we disable the silent mode prior starting the alarm, but L does not allow us to re-enable silent mode after the alarm if finished.

You can consider disabling the option "Play alarm in silent mode" - this will keep your mode silent but alarms won't be heart..

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
