I have driving mode disabled within the toggles, but the dame thing kept showing up whenever it connects to my car's Bluetooth.
How can I disable driving mode for good?
So I have a Galaxy S5 with Android 5.0 Lollipop (OTA update came a week ago).
I need to keep the phone completely silenced during the night except for the alarm which has to wake me up in the morning. While the phone was running Android 4.4 I used the Blocking mode which I could set to affect incoming calls and notifications but not the alarms.
Now that Android 5 is there and TouchWiz has been updated, there is no Blocking mode anymore. I can choose to allow priority interruptions only or no interruptions at all. If I select no interruptions, the alarm doesn't sound at all.
If I select priority interruptions and check only 'Events and reminders' I kinda get what I need, but not quite. Incoming calls, SMS, WhatsApp and Facebook are muted and the alarms sound just like they should. However, Viber and Skype do not get muted. This means that I should manually sign out of skype and/or kill it in order to have peace from the app.
So what should I do? I want to easily silence the phone and keep everything muted except for the alarms. I want to do this quickly - with one touch. Going into priority notifications mode and then manually signing out of apps is no way to go.
Any help would be appreciated
Bump for this, searching for solution....

My fiance's GS5 upgraded last night and her alarm never went off this morning... I woke her up and told her - she saw her phone's alarm going off on the screen with no sound. She didn't change any of her alarm settings before/after upgrading so this is a FAIL on Samsung's end in my opinion.
I realise that this is a lollipop feature, but I believe that Nexus ROMs let you pick which applications are priority (to disable Skype notifications, for example), which doesn't seem possible on the S5.
HTC seem to have kept their silent profile for the M8 lollipop update - lucky them!

Select priority interruptions and turn off data/internet. There's a toggle for that in the notification panel.
Or better yet, put phone in airplane mode with blocking mode off. That's what I do.
Airplane mode seems like the easiest solution for your problem.
Use the Do Not Disturb app. Perfect replacement for Blocking Mode.
If you disable "Events and reminders", does it do what you want? You still get alarms with that unticked.

No, with that unticked I do not get any alarms.
Airplane mode is a possible workaround, but not perfect, because the risk of forgetting to switch back to normal mode is high. Furthermore, I enjoy reading my missed notification first thing in the morning... Going to give that do not disturb app a go
Long story short, this is a major fail for the new firmware. I don't know if it is a Lollipop issue or a less than perfect Touch Wiz implementation of the new Lillipop notifications concept...

That's strange, I still get alarms. There's even a message at the bottom of the interruptions page that says alarms are always considered priority.
I also still get all the notifications, just no sounds for them (I run in priority mode most of the day), so I can still catch up on notifications.
I'm running version BNL9 but not sure if that makes a difference.

Huh, I guess you could forget however I don't see how since there's an airplane icon instead of the signal bars.
Has the problem been fixed on Android M?
Since my upgrade to Lollipop all my notifications are silent despite the fact that my sound setting is on, my notifications volume is 100%, my general Notification Melody is "On Time" and my Allow Interruptions setting is allow all the interruptions. My device, a SM-N910F, is NOT rooted.
I get all the notifications with no problem but they do not play any sound.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Hello to all..
I would like to mention that i come from a nexus 6p, and last week i bought the a1. When i was in android 8.1 on the nexus and had the phone set in priority mode the phone calls from whatapp where blocked. Now that i have the a1 in android 8 in priority mode the whatapp calls pass through. Is this a android 8 bug?
Furthermore when i arrange the system ui shortcut to enable priority mode with the volume keys the phone goes to alarms only and not priority mode. is this normal?
thnks
This just recently started occurring, literally all notifications play the set notification sound regardless of being in silent or vibrate, This is the first Samsung One UI device I've owned and I'm hoping it's just some ridiculous added setting or modification Samsung has added that means I've to go through an additional step to simply set the phone to mute/vibrate. Anyone else experienced/experiencing this, got any fix for this because it's becoming annoying. The only thing that seems to follow the set mode is phone calls.
