Hallelujay I finally figured out Android DOES has an alternative to Blackberry's "Bedside Mode" for muting random shit

It took me FOREVER to find it.

On my OLD Blackberrys running BB7 and older, I could set it so that whenever it's plugged in it shows the clock (not importsnt) which automatically mutes EVERYTHING except for phonecalls and alarms (very important).

On my Blackberry Z30 I couldn't make it do that when plugged in, but a quick swipe on the lock screen launched Bedside Mode.

On my DTEK50, nada.

I have been using Meeting Mode, but a) that made most calender events mute my phone, even simple reminders i made but never bothered to unmark as "busy" and b) had a recurring "sleep" event that clogged up my calendar.

Finally figured out that I can set Priority Mode to activate during certain hours on certain days, and mute everything except alarms and phonecalls. In retrospect it was pretty obvious, But I have been looking for something else and didn't realize i didn't have to go through a five-step process every night to use Priority Mode.
