New S25 Ultra - Notifications not working

[Squeaky369]

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.

Thank you for the reply. I hope all works out regardless of your choice to wait r return the phone.

Do you resolved it? 

[Squeaky369]

Nope. No resolution or even a glimmer of hope.

I'm having the same issues. Upgraded from my 23U to the 25U. It seems like the past few upgrades I've done with Samsung has a lot of issues. I'm really kind of getting tired of all of these update issues I just want a phone that works. I'm not getting any of the notifications on my 25u. But when I look at my 23U that is still connected to the wi-fi, all of the notifications are on that phone. Absolute garbage.

I decided to take it a step further and called support, they transferred me up the line a few times and the last person was like: "You filled out the feedback on the app? That's really all we can do this time."

Useless.

[JohnSheppard]

Absolutely useless.
Samsung seems to care less and less lately. It's really irritating

I'm getting most of my notifications once i unlock the phone. This is infuriating. Come on samsung. These are basics.

Yeah, some of them (random) do fire when the phone is locked and the screen is off, but most of them only arrive when I turn on and unlock the phone.

I am having the same issues just went from a s22 to the s25 ultra I'm not getting discord, or Gmail notifications. They still work on my 22... going to give it a few days if not I'm returning the 25 and going back to the 22 what a joke

I was having the same issue. Managed to fix it by deleting all Gmail app data, then reconfiguring the app from scratch.

I also disabled/re-enabled Gmail beforehand, but I don't think that did anything.

Once I did the Clear Data then reconfigured, I received a bunch of old notifications in one go, then started receiving new ones as new emails came in. Notification dots for the Gmail app started working too, which was nice.
