Set to Do Not Disturb mode according to Calendar

[magistros]

Dear Samsung-ers,

I am trying to find a way to allow my calendar to set the sound mode to Do Not Disturb during an event.

This would be extremely useful because we have plenty of meetings/events during the day.

I looked into the DND settings but nothing related to the calendar.

On the other hand we have paid so much money for this device and it is ridiculous to pay more in order to have another app to do this job.

An thoughts on this?

Hi @magistros, good morning.

Thank you for reaching out! Also for the Agenda-app you can make exceptions when your phone is in the Do Not Disturb-mode. When you go to: Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb > Apps > Add apps > Agenda, and you can choose which notifications come through.

Keep us posted! 

Kind regards,

Martijn

Hoi @martijn,
Bedankt voor uw reactie!
Actually, I want to do the opposite.. I want the agenda app to change the sound mode to Do Not Disturb when I have an appointment.

Our Agenda-app doesn't have this option, but it seems like an interesting option 🤓 In our Samsung Members-app you got the opportunity to send in a suggestion directly to our R&D department, and perhaps this will be added with one of the updates.

Open the Members-app and go to Support, in this section you can send in feedback and suggestions.

Kind regards,

MartijnK, I read that this feature is built into Android but Samsung removes it. Can you tell your R&D department to stop removing it?

[MartijnK]

I can't imagine that my colleagues of the R&D department would remove such a feature. 

You can also make a suggestion to add a new feature for the Agenda-app in the Do Not Disturb-mode.

This help page describes how to configure Android to turn on DND during events. But the setting does not appear on my Galaxy S21. This is consistent with the post I saw that says Samsung has removed it. But perhaps you can direct me to this setting?

The MacroDroid app can be configured to turn DND on and off during events.  Start with "Calendar mute" under Templates. The Event triggers must be configured to use the desired calendar; duplicate them for multiple calendars.

For more information and how to use this, take a look at our site: How do I use the do not disturb feature?

Unfortunately it seems to be true, I'm also looking for that option and it's missing on Samsung devices.

My Lenovo tablet has that, it is also described here

Instead of adding useless features, Samsung should keep the ones that are really great in android...
