Annoying mobile phone

[XLD]

Every now and then, my mobile springs into life “chiming” away for about 30 seconds, usually about 3am🤬🤬🤬🤬. When I look at the screen it says “ Backing up”.

Is there any way I can shut it up? I have “Do not disturb” on from 11 pm to 8am btw.

What mobile is it as the steps to silence the notification will be different if it is Apple or Android

You can mute the 'notificatons' volume within settings.

If you go to settings, notifications you will see recent notifications.  If you tap on the annoying one from the night you can then modify the alert so it is either off or silent.

That will fix the OP's problem.

 

Also available as a wider solution is "Do not disturb" under notifications. This has a number of options including muting to a schedule to avoid all night time notifications, and fine tuning like still allowing the phone to ring, or allowing it to ring for a limited number of callers only.

Definitely settings will sort it, maybe a google search for that alert may find it too. 

 

It will probably go if you leave your mobile in the canal overnight, plenty can testify to that plan.

Mine is not annoying. It has helped me earned 100s of £ks over the years. 

 

Or maybe you consider earning money annoying....

Only when somebody else is doing it.

The annoyance stems from other people's phobile mones: for example, if I'm on a train or 'bus journey and am contentedly enjoying my book, I'm constantly distracted by the chorus of bleeps, chimes, burbles and caterwauls emanating from the devices of inconsiderate fellow passengers.

Oh sorry, I missed that. My revised answer would be that there are adjustable settings within "do not disturb" to allow or disallow individual functions. It would be necessary to remove any that have previously been explicitly added to those given permission.

I don’t mind the phones so much, it’s those bluetooth earpieces. Time was if someone was walking along on their own, gesticulating and having a one-sided conversation, it was nailed on they were a fruitloop and best avoided. Now you have to see if they’ve got a plastic toothbrush wedged in their lughole to decide what sort of head-the-ball they are.

 

And why is it folk can’t just hold a phone to there head anymore, they have to have it on speaker and walk along holding it like a piece of toast they’re about to bite!?!

No. I consider being woken up unnecessarily, at 3am annoying. Don't you?

[Mike Hurley]

If do not disturb does not work then turn off wifi and/or mobile data, it cant back up then.

Yes, but I wrote that post in reply to Athy's assertion that all mobiles are annoying....

Not so.

Annoyance is in the eye of the beholder - Mrs @1st ade keeps her mobile turned off unless she's walking the dog - then spends all evening moaning as my phone pings to itself.... right up to the ping that is our grandson "Nan, I've got an interview tomorrow, can you lend me the bus fare" when it becomes "it's a good job your phone was on"

They probably had an apostrophe in it, innit! 

 

"C'est la vie", perhaps...

 

Athy will no. He does French!

If you had a mobile phone you could listen to audio books using headphones, which would isolate you from all of the annoying noises emanating from others mobile phones... 😉😉
