I've got a head scratcher for you. I'm having some issues with Gmail that nobody seems to be able to resolve. I was doing something on my brother's phone, and I noticed that when he got an incoming email there was no notification sound and there was no notification in the status bar. I have worked with tech support for Verizon and Samsung and they could not resolve it. Samsung initially told me that it had something to do with an update. They referred me to "U Break Fix" . When I called them they're like we don't deal with software issues we deal with hardware. I went into the Verizon store, and it was there that the guy discovered that it was happening on my phone as well as my brother's. They've reset all my notification settings. They've made sure that all the appropriate notification settings are set so that these things will happen, yet they don't happen. I've also noticed that in the notifications, like when you scroll down from the top of your phone and you get all the notifications that you've got, it doesn't appear there either. The email will be in my inbox but there'll be no notification anywhere, and no notification sound. It's only my phone, my tablet and his phone that are having these issues. Everyone else I talk to who has Gmail is not having an issue. I want occasion, I rebooted the phone and then sent an email from my Yahoo to my Gmail and everything worked fine. But only that one time. Same with his phone. I have uninstalled the updates for the Gmail app. I've reset all permissions for apps. I am completely at a loss and very frustrated.
