Do not disturb during call

Have a great idea? We'd love to hear it! Want to share the story of how Fongo is saving you money? This is the place to do it!

Do not disturb during call

Post by alexkillby »

I really wish the app on Android would turn on the do not disturb function while engaged in a Fongo call. There's nothing more annoying than notification sounds and vibrations while you have the handset pressed right up to your ear. I'm certain the Android API has a hook available for applications to do just this.

They seemed to have implemented this. Not sure if it was there when you posted but there's a setting in the app called "Mute Other Notifications While On Call".

Yup! I'm not sure if it was an Android change or a Fongo app change, but I now only hear a quiet "bing" in my ear when other notifications come in rather than the vibration and loudspeaker notification sound. I had seen that option in the settings menu in the past too but didn't seem to do anything in my case.
