How does one get rid of Do Not Disturb in their Prime?

I'm not aware that the Prime has such a function. I use my iPhone in the car frequently and have never had that happen. What exactly do you see/hear when that happens?

 

I just checked. You must have set your iPhone to activate its Do Not Disturb function automatically when it connects to the car Bluetooth.

it is an iPhone feature not a Prime one. It is not enabled by default so you must have turned it on.

 

My Motorola Droid (Android) must be quite unusual in that the manufacturer has thoughtfully provided it with an "OFF" switch! (…works wonders for saving the battery!)

 

I noticed the other day that when I tried long pressing the home button to use Siri to voice dial my wife while driving (specifically, while waiting at a traffic light) that it didn't work. I got a microphone on the 11.6" display along with a cancel button and Siri on the phone just sat there listening but not responding. This always used to work. I also have DND set to manual and didn't set it, so something has changed. I haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet, but I hope to. Not being able to voice dial isn't a forward move in the safety realm.

 

That's what happens with mine most of the time. I've pretty much given up on using voice dialing, but if you find a solution I'd like to hear about it.

 

I decided to investigate this a bit further. There is an option under Settings / Siri & Search called "Allow Siri When Locked." That was turned off on my iPhone, and whenever the phone was locked it would exhibit that hung-voice-assistant response. But when I turned that option on, I can now access Siri via the steering-wheel button even if the phone is locked. I think this particular option may have been added in IOS 13, but I'm not entirely sure of that.

 

BINGO!!!
That was it. It works now with the home button and the phone pickup button on the steering wheel. Didn't work with either before. Interesting that I could long press the home button to voice dial when not connected to the car but couldn't do it when the phone was connected. I assumed the phone would read my thumbprint either way. Guess not.
Anyway, thanks for discovering and sharing that, Jon.

 

That does seem odd. Maybe the logic is that the Home button won't both unlock and activate Siri on a single press, but why only if connected? The ways of Apple are indeed mysterious!
