On my old Droid Turbo, I could set up multiple do not disturb times on a single day.  I see no way to do this on my new galaxy s9 plus.

I worked with a tech support person yesterday and they put in an

enhancement request for me.

I did some digging and found an "out of the box" option that's sure to let you set up multiple DNDs. Using an app Activity Launcher from the PlayStore allows you to set up multiple. Let us know your results. 
The first 2 minutes here shows you how. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoUcC3510YA

This phone is very highly rated.  I do not know if this is a galaxy feature that was missed, or an Android feature that was not carried forward.  Personally, I believe this should be within the phones capabilities and I should NOT have to add an app to get this capability.  As I posted originally, this was available on an older phone from a different manufacturer in an older Android O/S.  (Android 6.0.1)  This phone is running Android 8.0.0. I am hoping the enhancement request gets this feature into the phone.  thank you for your time in working on this question.

Open the link from the community site and not the email notification of the post.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Saw the video. Looked at the activity launcher. Did NOT like what it said when you started it up so I removed it. Not really a good plan. Something about it could cause problems with the phone. (lost contacts etc.)

I understand the importance of setting your device up to the way you want it. Especially with the Do Not Disturb feature, having your alone time for important tasks are very important. I found an excellent way to set up the do not disturb feature the way you would like it.

 

1. Go to Settings

2. Tap Sound and Vibrations

3. Tap Do not Disturb 

4. Tab the switch to Turn on as scheduled 

5. Then click turn on as scheduled

6. Once you are in this option, you will see the days and times you would like the Do Not Disturb to start and end.

 

Please let us know if you need any additional assistance.

This only allows a single setting. I can set every day for night time dnd,

but cannot add a schedule for during the day. I see no way to do this.

I need to have two additional scheduled times every Sunday from

10:40am-12:30pm, and 5:45pm-7:30pm.

RFMODINE,

 

This may simply be a limitation of the feature that the phone offers. For additional scheduling options or features you can also look for other 3rd party applications within the Google Play Store that may better suit your needs. https://play.google.com/store?hl=en.

This capability was available in android 6.0.1, and a Verizon person I

spoke with today confirmed it was working on her galaxy phone as well and

it is android version 7.x. not sure why it is not in 8.0

Thank you for visiting our customer forums, RFMODINE. Sorry to hear about any trouble with setting up your Do Not Disturb feature. Have you tried setting custom exceptions?

Doesn't work. There currently is no method to set the schedules I need. I

can only set a single schedule on given days. I need multiple schedules on

specific days as noted. This appears to have been omitted in this version

of the o/s.

I've arrived at that same conclusion, RFMODINE. Without the assistance of a third party app, only one DND can be set.

Thank you so much for reaching out to us today about your Galaxy S9. I want to make sure that I understand your question. Are you looking for the phone to go into do not disturb automatically at specific times?

I want to be able to put my phone in do not disturb mode automatically as

follows:

Every day of the week 9:30pm-6:00am next day

Additionally

On Sunday 10:30am-12:15pm

And

5:50pm-7:15pm

At this time, this is not possible with this phone. I could do this with my

previous phone, a Motorola droid turbo. A samsung tech took control of my

phone last night and determined this is currently not possible, but said he

would put an enhancement request in for me.
