Actually, yes, it did seem to work for well, a few HOURS after I got it. Then stopped. No new apps or changes made during that time, too. Worked very briefly I think, then stopped and it went down from there.

see reply below - address two of yours with that one, really.

Well, if they push out a fix that WORKS on Verizon then I'll consider getting another one, but not until I hear back that it's out there and everyone's pushes are working as they should. It was hell taking my Note 5 back to Verizon. They messed up the account and put down I actually got...

Darn... wished that worked for me. The reps helping me with this on the phone tried Outlook, Yahoo... every other mail configuration and none of them worked properly on my two units. Ohhhh welllll. Maybe next time. lol

I didn't bother to get another one. I actually was one of the people who got one of the test Note 5s from Samsung's Ultimate Test drive thing. It did it. But I thought it was just a one-off glitch with that one so I went out and got that one for myself, and it did it, too. Then saw comments...

The reps (Verizon and Samsung alike) tried everything, including what you have listed above and much, much more. When all else failed we reset the phone to factory defaults just in case - nothing worked. Took my phone back yesterday.

Re: Not receiving Gmail push notifications on Galaxy S6 Of the huge list of things the Verizon/Samsung techs had me do to my phone, that was one of the first - to use the pre-installed email app. Worked for about 15 minutes, then stopped working. It's almost as if there's some background...

Tim, yes, in one of my calls to one of the Verizon techs, they had me disable WiFi and try it under LTE with the phone in standby/sleep mode. It actually didn't work for me. They had wondered if maybe it was just an issue with my own router, but it was happening at work on that router too, and...

Re: Not receiving Gmail push notifications on Galaxy S6 Oddly enough it's now 9/2/15 and you posted this "it's being fixed as we speak" comment two months ago. Are we still speaking? Because Samsung hasn't fixed it yet. lol

UPDATE (again - sorry): Sorry.. but wanted to update one last time because in my last post it SEEMED like switching to Yahoo mail fixed the issue. Wound up not - worked fine for an hour or so then off and on and then not at all. Spent more time on tech support ... no answers. Going back to...

I posted this in another thread but just so you will know it's not just you (or your phone), the exact same thing happened on my new Note 5. Same thing, too.. when in standby/sleep nothing - once it finds itself and wakes up, they flood in. Without repeating everything I said in the other...

Well... I am taking my Note 5 back to Verizon tomorrow for this exact reason - and spent HOURS on the phone the past two days with Verizon and Samsung tech reps to try to figure it out. My push emails simply never worked more than a couple of times. I have home security cameras and when they...

UPDATE: Went into one service I use for notifications and put in a Yahoo email address - added the Yahoo mail app to my phone. Every notification came in within seconds.... (SEE UPDATE IN NEXT POST, THOUGH). So it tells me at least, it's not the phone or Android or the carrier - it's...

Well, I bought a Note 5 (Verizon) two days ago and it's doing the exact same thing. Spent a good amount of time with Verizon tech support last night on the phone with someone who did know his stuff overall, but neither of us could figure it out. Went through pretty much every suggestion that's...
