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 just figured out the S25 Ultra Gmail notification issue. I had to go into the settings , then choose your email address (I have 2 and had to do both) and scroll down to Sync Gmail. Mine was already checked so I unchecked it and rechecked it and now they're working correctly! 1738768151368.jpg

Try turning the notifcations off and then back on.

I had the exact opposite happen after upgrading my Galaxy Watch 7; I was getting notifications for things that were showing as turned off. I switched the notifications on and then off again, and it started blocking them correctly.

Also having notification problems across many apps since doing a smart switch from S23+ to S25+. Old phone still receiving them fine. Also a few app issues with eBay and Microsoft Authenticator, which don't exist on S23+.
