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.

I have exactly the same problem. i bought the phone few days ago and at the very beginning I was receiving notifications. Since yesterday I get none. I did everything, I’ve checked the notifications, the apps, I even restored the phone at the faculty setting but nothing has changed. Plus, when I go to “notification pop-up style” there is no button as I’ve seen in many videos to turn it on or off. I really don’t know what to do.

Try input these adb commands by adding 4 processes whitelist from entering doze.

adb shell dumpsys deviceidle whitelist +com.android.systemui

adb shell dumpsys deviceidle whitelist +com.android.vending

adb shell dumpsys deviceidle whitelist +com.google.android.gsf

adb shell dumpsys deviceidle whitelist +com.google.android.gms

Try this, you can still keep adaptive power saving on but some apps may delay max 15 mins, if you want real time notification just put those apps to never auto sleep. 

Goto settings , app, show system app, search "Google Services Framework" , app battery usage , change to Unrestricted.
