Silence your phone
Switch your phone off, or at least to silent, before you enter, and leave it in your pocket.
A ringing phone breaks the stillness everyone else came for. Turn it off at the door, and keep it away while you are before the Deity. Temples that publish their rules ask for phones to be off or muted, and some do not allow them to be used inside at all.
