Hello! I recently made the switch from Apple and purchased the S26 Ultra, and so far Iโm really enjoying it. That said, there are still a few things Iโm having trouble adjusting to.
At work, I like to keep my phone mounted in front of my keyboard so that when a notification comes in, I can quickly glance over and see whether itโs something I need to respond to. On my Samsung, though, I only hear the default notification chime and the screen doesnโt wake up. Itโs a bit frustrating having to manually turn on the screen every time just to see what the notification was.
On my iPhone, notifications worked a little differently. Apps would typically use their own default notification sounds if they had one, instead of the phoneโs generic tone, which made it much easier to tell what type of notification I was receivingโalmost like the default tone was reserved mainly for text messages.
Iโm hoping someone might have some helpful tipsโmaybe a setting I missed or an app that could help with this. Iโve already enabled lock screen notification cards, but that doesnโt help much if the screen itself doesnโt light up.
I'm having this same problem. Also won't notify me on my lock screen like my s23+ did. Spent 2 hours on the phone with Samsung tonight to later be told by them "this feature was removed when our s25 phones came out." Returning my s26+ and going back to my s23+. Waste of time and money.
