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!

Here's what I found that works for me: clearing the app data, force close the app, reopen the app. When you open the app again it will immediately ask if you want to allow notifications. Click Allow.

I did it for Chat and YouTube and they are both working now. I remember I had this same issue years ago from when I was still flashing roms and doing the above steps fixed it.

I'm not a dev and I don't know anything from anything but my theory is that not only is the local data "stuck" but so is the data on the server side.

sadly only way how to solve is to have watch, in my case Watch Ultra, all app notifications are there without any issues. Truly believe that Samsung gonna handle this and fix it with further (January) update

Cannot enable push notifications in apps. I get a message saying operation failed or cannot perform action at this time. It will not let me move the slider to enable. Yes notifications are turned on for these apps. Any ideas?

I got my S25 ultra yesterday and after doing a clean install, no smart switch, I noticed I was not  getting any gmail notifications. After trying various things with power settings I found  this thread. Have tried everything in here and I seem to now be at the stage that I will get the first notification and then no further ones. I have ticked the option for it to notify for all emails, but still not working. One odd thing I found though, is when its on a charger, it all works perfectly. Sent loads of emails and not one failure. Once I take it of the charger, one email notification and then nothing until I unlock the phone. I have a watch & connected, but that seems to only get the same notifications as the phone.
