Dear all,
I have a pretty old Samsung - J6 dual sim. I'm in the UK.
I have a constantly tormenting issue, which I've had literally for years. Every time I want to log in to a financial account online (on a computer, not on the phone) I have to wait to get an OTC (one-time code) sent. About 50% of the time I don't get the notification... unless I turn off the phone and turn it back on again.
This doesn't appear to be specific to the financial institution concerned (although possibly some seem worse than others). Sometimes it seems just to depend on the day, i.e. luck. But I think the phone is the main culprit. I've had (like many Samsung users) many years of problems with notifications for incoming emails not bleeping as configured to do... But this question is about messages (SMS) specifically (and the bleeping of the notification as configured).
Are there any apps out there which specifically, and very stupidly, simply do a loop internally, say once a minute, just to look to see whether a new message has arrived (and then issue some notification, which I can hopefully configure to make a bleep)? My theory is that these SMSs have in fact arrived somewhere in the phone, but that Samsung's system is too incompetent to spot it.
Also I am thinking possibly of getting a new Samsung dual sim, maybe an A-something. Anyone with any knowledge of how different newer Samsung models do with notifications (for incoming emails and SMS) got any recommendations? I mean, have they improved? (from my searching I have seen mixed reports!)
