Howdy!

Received my new S25 Ultra yesterday, set it up via SmartSwitch. Everything transferred correctly but none of my notifications are working. 
 
Zero.
 
I have gone though forum postings that other people have posted looking for solutions and most of those has been DND or a routine turned on blocking notifications. 
 
Things I've checked:
 
  • Do Not Disturb is TURNED OFF.
  • No Modes or Routines are running (there aren't any setup).
  • Sound is on.
  • Vibrate is on.
  • No icons or app badges show up on the top.
  • The apps that I am testing with I have confirmed that notifications are turned on.
  • All the options are selected for the notification options (Lock Screen, App icon badge, Notification pop-up).
  • This happens if the phone is sleeping or awake.
  • My old phone is still using Wi-Fi and notifications work fine on that one (other than messages and phone cause that's tied to the SIM). Turning off the old phone and waiting a few minutes and trying on the new phone, same thing happens.
  • If I open the offending app, I can see the unread messages.
Other than wiping the phone, skipping the SmartSwitch and starting from scratch, I am not sure how to move forward.
 
Thanks.

I noticed it took about 36 hrs before my Alexa notifications started.

I recently changed my phone from S23 Ultra to S25 Ultra. Now I amreceiving gmail notifications on S23 Ultra but not on S25 Ultra. In app settings battery usage is set to unrestricted, notification setting in gmail app is active.
Anyone knows what might be the issue?

My s25 ultra is making the same noise for every apps notification. For example, a Facebook message, text message, ring doorbell, Gmail, outlook, WhatsApp all make the exact same sound for notification. It's awful and if it doesn't get fixed ASAP I'll be returning my phone. For as much as these phones cost they really need to work out the bugs before releasing them.
I spike with 2 different Samsung people on chat who both told me that was impossible and they have no reports of notification issues šŸ™„, so I went to an authorized repair shop and they told me its a Samsung software issue that requires an update to be released.

I switched from s24 ultra to 25 ultra and I am having the same issue. I get some notifications, but not all. Apparently there is a system update soon weighing in at 24 GB. Maybe it will fix the issue.
