iPhone do not disturb bug

iPhone Do Not Disturb (DND) bug will fix itself automatically on January 7 according to Apple. The bug had stopped the service from functioning normally as the new year set in and the schedules of the iPhone users were disturbed. The DND service allows the users to set time periods for which they can choose not to receive calls or limit calls.

The DND bug plaguing iPhone users has instigated many developers to find the reason for this situation. Many developers have come up with explanations suggesting that the problem lies with the Unix codebase and the DND timing system. Reports from other tests suggest that the problem would re-appear every year, but the date of the fix would be different.

Announcing the automatic fix, a support document from Apple read, “Do Not Disturb scheduling feature will resume normal functionality after January 7, 2013. Before this date, you should manually turn the Do Not Disturb feature on or off.” Some avenues suggested users to change the date and check the correctness of the statement, which yielded positive results.

Apple is reported to be working on a fix, so that the bug does not re-appear in the coming years. The California giant is reported to be working on iOS 7, which might be the solution to the present problem. iPhone 5S release rumours have also been circulating in the technological market.

The DND bug for iPhone surfaced at the time Apple released an advertisement promoting the feature. The ad features tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams losing to a user at a table tennis rally in a dream sequence.
