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.
Just to pile on, I also have this issue with some apps. I managed to get Substack and Instagram working, but Reddit is still a no-go as is the NYT. Very frustrating.
Im also not getting notifications for a lot of apps on my s25 Ultra. I went into a Samsung store and wasted over 2 hours just for the employees to tell me they dont know what they issue is and that their adivce is to return the phone and get a new one. Since i bought the phone online instead of in the store, the employees told me they couldnt even help me with the return. i had to contact samsung support to get the return set up and buy the new phone. when i contacted samsung support to get this whole return/new purchase set up, i asked "if the new phone also has issues with notifications, can i get a refund and get back the phone i traded-in to get the s25 ultra" and they said no. so now im stuck with a brand new phone that has issues with something as basic as notifications and even if i return the phone, i do not get my old phone back and lose money cause my old phone is gone. samsung really **bleep**ed up with this one.
Similar issue for me,. no matter what I do, I do not get the whats app notification when someone is calling me on whats app, when the screen is dark/locked. I have to unlock the screen then I can see who is calling and answer it, soooooo frustrating!
