Do Not Disturb Function not working on new iPod on iOS 8

[DinoF]

So have just set up my sons iPod for his Xmas present however I cannot get the Do Not Disturb function to work properly? 

I have the 'Manual' option set to 'off' so that I can schedule a time for it to come on, however, when I then set the scheduled time, when that time comes around , the 'Manual' option ALSO turns itself on as well???

i just can't seem to set a scheduled time for it to come on, WITHOUT having  the 'Manual' option also coming on (this is how it is set up on my iPad 2 - I have scheduled times for it to come on with the 'Manual' option turned off).

Is the iOS up to date? Try turning the iPod on & off again then try again the procedure you wish to,do as it may need a wake up

Does the little half moon symbol show on the notification bar?

Hi DinoF

Take a look through the Apple Help Pages. 

Do Not Disturb Help Pages.

Unfortunately, Do Not Disturb (Scheduled) is just not working for me. 

It is a brand new current gen iPod Touch (literally opened up this morning!) on iOS 8.1.2. 

Whenever I set a scheduled time for Do Not Disturb to activate, when that time comes around, it does indeed activate and also shows the half moon icon, HOWEVER, it ALSO activates the 'Manual' switch to 'On', at the same time.  This means that when the scheduled time for Do Not Disturb to de-activate comes around, it does NOT de-activate because the 'Manual' switch was turned on as well????

My other son's current gen iPod Touch (still on iOS 7) does not do this so why does the iPod on iOS 8 not work correctly???

Morning @DinoF

I've just tested this on my iP6+.

DND activated at the time I set and De Activated again at the time set. I'm on iOS 8 on the iP6+

So I don't see it being an iOS 8 bug !

A conundrum.

Does it work ok on your iPhone 6 ?

[DinoF]

.....yep, works fine on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 6 - both on iOS 8.1.2.

It's not a massive issue I guess but just weird that it chooses to also switch on the Manual setting as well?!!

hmmm.

When you get your iPhone 6 booked in perhaos ask a Genius 😄

Is the iPod linked to any other devices using the same ID?
