Question Flip to Shh not working?

[groston]

IMO, the setting ‘Flip to Shh’ is one of the most important settings on a phone and it worked exactly as expected on my old Pixel 3. However, on my new OnePlus 12, I have set the setting ‘Slip to mute incoming calls’; but today, for the second time, a spam call came in while the phone was flipped, yet it rang. What the BLEEP is going on???

I've never heard it called Flip to Shh. At first I thought it was an acronym for something. Anyway, this seems like a feature I use on my Sammy which is flip to silence. I don't know if it stays silent when face down but it will go silent if flipped. I put your question in Google and got this response.

The 'Flip to mute incoming calls' feature on the OnePlus 12 (running OxygenOS) works differently than the 'Flip to Shhh' gesture on a Pixel 3, which is likely causing your issues. While the Pixel 3 uses a deep integration with Do Not Disturb (DND) to turn off sounds, the OnePlus feature is generally designed to mute an active, ringing call rather than prevent it from ringing entirely.

It went on to talk about what the possible causes might be, read more here, and ended with the advice to set-up and use DND instead to get the experience you enjoyed before. I know what you're thinking DND is going to be a pain to enable and disable but you should have a quick setting's toggle for DND, where you could just pull the notification shade down and tap to enable or disable.

Let us know if this helps.

I could be wrong....but isn't a universal bypass for DND is a phone call coming in rapid succession goes through?

You are correct. DND can be bypassed with 2 calls in 15 minutes, but it also looks like it may need to be enabled, at least on my Sammy this is not the default value. The reason I think it has to be enabled is because I never use DND and it was off when I looked. Again, just for me, I don't see any adjustments for this to increase the number of calls needed or any way to adjust the duration.

To the OP, is this setting on or off for you, or do you even have this option? I also didn't associate this setting with the OP's incident because the OP referred to this call as a Spam call, but I haven't known them to call with that frequency. To the OP, was it really Spam or was it just an annoyance call that may have called multiple times?

I could be wrong, but isn't "Flip To Shhh" a Pixel exclusive?

As @VidJunky pointed out, the setting you have works different than "Flip To Shhh" on Pixel devices ... you have to flip the phone face down while it's actively ringing for it to silence that particular incoming call. "Flip To Shhh" enables Do Not Disturb once the phone is placed face down and deactivates DND once the phone is picked up.
You may have to use a third party app, like a Tasker type app, to duplicate the "Flip To Shhh" feature.

Samsung has this feature as well.

I'm not surprised ... Samsung devices are usually chock full 'o features LOL

All: Thanks for the replies. I did not realize that 'Flip to Shh' was a Pixel-only app. Seems so basic/useful that I cannot imagine why every phone doesn't have it.

Just to check: The Tasker app has been mentioned. Is this https://tasker.joaoapps.com/ it?

Yes, that looks to be it.

Yeah and it looks like they are still doing the 7 day trial. There's a bit of a learning curve since Tasker can do sooooo much but there are several places online where you can look for profiles that others have created or get help with creating your own profiles. Taskerwiki, the Tasker threads here and at DXA , there's a Reddit for Tasker too.
