Blocking Mode

Blocking Mode on the Samaung Note II (And I'm sure on any phone running 4.1 and up) is a great little feature that I use when I am working a split shift at work and want to take a nap between. Here is what it says at the top when you open the feature in your settings. "When this mode is enabled, notifications for selected features will be disabled. You will only recive notifications of incoming calls from people on your allowed list." Then you have a features list, where you can disable incoming calls, notrifications, alarm and timer and disable the LED indecator. Then you can set the time of ay you want to have blocked your choice is "Always" or you can set it for a period of time like I do. Mine is set for from 8am to 4pm right now. So while its turned on I will not recieve and notifications in that time frame. You can also "Allow certain contacts to get through even when the blocking mode is on. Your choices are:None, All Contacts, Favorites or custom. Try this out when you are going to a meeting, when you get done all you have to do to turn it off/check notifications is pull your status bar down, tap on blocking mode and it will take you to the settings and there you can disable it. Also your notifications will show as well. Hope this helps you out some. Ken USCC Customer Crew Member.
