Hello all,
Since updating my Note 10+ to (1 October) and my S6 to (1 September) updates, Call & text on other devices has stopped working. I tried removing the S6 and re-adding it. When I remove it on my phone, it disables the option on the S6 and re-adds it when I enable the option on the S6 so that bit seems fine.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I am actually having the same problem but I didn't even think that it might be because of the update, I just thought it randomly stopped working or stopped because of something that I did lol. I have the wifi Tab S6 and an unlocked Note10+. I have noticed that the only time it actually works is if both devices are connected to the same wifi, and even that is hit or miss. I have the "use mobile network" selected on my Note and it still doesn't work right. K hope an update is released soon.

My S4 will not auto-connect to my Subaru Impreza 2013. It requires that I press the connection 4+ times for it to connect, even then it will randomly drop out. I've read where it is mentioned to ensure that the connect with all visible devices is checked (it is), but the way I read the option is that it should be visible to devices it has paired with regardless of whether that box is checked.
Another problem I have had is with navigation. Sometimes it will not reroute or if I leave the navigation app to look at a message, or answer a call it will start to crash the navigation. I have tried killing the app and restarting (super cool if there is traffic...) but it will continue to act oddly for several minutes.
I'm pretty sure the issue is with the S4, I exchanged my old S4 with another and continued to have the same problems, even though my Nexus4 had no issues.

Any idea? (Sorry if bumps are uncool)
Has anyone encountered this problem? After a few minutes of my screen being off, i do not receive ANY notifications for incoming messages (e.g. Hangouts, Whats App,...etc). As soon as I wake up the phone again, I am flooded with pending notifications (some of which are hours late)
The problem is not limited to my phone; as 2 of my other friends are facing the exact same issue on their units.
I am referring to the Galaxy S6 Edge.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue ?
[[Update]] seems this problem is with all lollipop phones. At least where I'm at. I can confirm that the M9, Nexus 5, and Nexus 6 all demonstrate the same behavior.
Bump! Problem still exists. Hoping for someone to shed some light

Anything installed? Like Greenify, or battery saving apps?
Nothing. Stock and straight of the box.
Do you have any battery saving options on?
None. Its has no power saving nor blocking mode activated.
yep. Just got my AT&T 64g edge. with screen off I get no notifications for Gmail, Hangouts, Text or mms. turn screen on and everything suddenly shows up. fresh out of the box, no powersavings or anything on..
I'm seeing the issue on my regular at&t s6. any solutions ?
You do not get the blinking LED notification? Or are you guys expecting an Ambient notification?
In some cases the notification arrives late or in some cases not at all. no LED notification, no sound notification .. nothing!
I'm not sure why this hasn't bubbled up yet .. its quite a serious problem. My old s4 on 4.4.2 handles push notifications like a champ.
Sadly it this issue did bubble up earlyier as this thread was started on the 2nd... about half the time if my screen has been off for a bit I get nothing, and then when I wake it up I get multiple email, text and google hangouts notifications...

Same problem for me -push notifications work intermittently under lollipop - had same problem with my moto x 2014 and now has started with the edge.
I didn't have this issue with my M8, I have it with the S6E though..
Have same problem here. Sometimes works with no issues, sometimes get 4 notifications once the screen is turned on.
Started noticing this as well. Turn my screen on and I will get notifications from email, whatsapp, groupme and a few other apps.
turn off wi-fi
this happens to me on my s6 edge (t-mobile variant) when I have wifi on and am connected to a wifi network.
turn off wifi --> perfect notification behavior
I assume this is a software issue and not a hardware one. I guess Sammy needs to push a fix for this.
I have the same problem, i have been pulling my hair looking for a fix. Brand new s6 edge att model here doing the same thing.
The only solution is to use other email apps other than gmail and it works fine. I'm certain it is a software bug however my wife has an S4 with lolipop and no issues so I'm concerned a bit but now that I have seen this thread it is clear I'm not the only one.
The issue on my phone resolved itself. No firmware updates or anything. Go figure
Hi all,
I'm experciencing a weird problem since my Samsung Note 4 received the october security update. The wifi picto keeps blinking, going from grey to light green to full green and back to grey (all the time). in the wifi-settings, the wifi toggle keeps going left-right and looking for networks when turning to the right (on). This causes battery usage... I sent my phone in for repair, they replaced it with a new motherboard, but no luck. If I do a factory reset, no problems, but after restoring apps and accounts and installing the security update, the problem reoccurs... Someone experiencing the same problem ? It's a coincidence or not, my mothers Samsung S5 is having the same problem since the update, but even worse, she can't even connect trough wifi sometimes...
problem solved. Google activated "scan wifi even when location is off" with the update. That gives apps permission to scan for wifi-networks even with location turned off... All the info from users they can get, they'll get it !
Hi All I have the Mate 20 Pro and absolutely loving it apart from the below problem.
WiFi keeps dropping out. It's definitely nothing to do with the wireless router as all other devices working perfectly and my previous SAMSUNG S7 never had any issues they only started when I got this new phone.
Unfortunately its causing serious issues for me as I can't get data connection downstairs and rely on WiFi.
I've read others have problems and apparently Hawai cut corners with the WiFi and put a poor quality device inside?
Is there anything that can be done or is this definitely a hardware problem and something I just have to live with I. E. Not being able to use it on WiFi?
It shows full bars on the WiFi status symbol top left but will connect one minute and the next minute can't even load a new page, Facebook comments, or will just pause and start spinning on a video.
Bump!! Same problems! My Galaxy S7 and S8 always worked flawless with notifications and internet connection switching between wifi and 4G. Mate 20 pro drops out. Now also remembering my old Ascend Mate 7 did the same. Huawei problem, but is there a solution?
I have tried various settings in the wireless and developer settings no luck. I cant seem to find the usual android settings to keep wifi on always...
Did you guys check under Settings/Battery/More battery Settings if "Stay connected when device sleeps" is ON?
Pretty stupid to hide it there (Samsung had it in the right place under WiFi settings) but whatever.
My Wifi NEVER disconnects at home or work and I DO get emails even if the app is set to pull every 30 min (so it wakes up properly and pulls data). Plus unlike my old S7Edge, WiFi reported power drain is always below 1%...so negligible.
I've noticed Youtube keeps losing connection when using Chromecast

That setting is on yes. Thanks for your reply
Keywords, Call and SMS Message continuity problems and solutions.
Yes it worked flawless at Android 9 at my Tab S5e, then the following happened.
Both my phone and the Tab S5e got a firmware update, the Tab S5e to Android 10. At this time I tried everything to get Call and Message continuity working again. But nothing worked.
* First I removed and disconnected all phones and this tablet from my Samsung Account, I recommend that you too do that first. ( You see after for example a factory reset you get multiple accounts for a same device, so solve this first, remember your password and have your phone reachable for SMS verification for when you connect all devices again.
* Second, I assured nothing was wrong with the home router internet, by factory resetting it. A lot of work, but still didn't work.
* Third, although everything worked for perhaps an hour, it would simply stop.
Now you want to know what in my situation was the cause and actual solution:
*** When I received firmware updates, I also installed the COVID 19 app that is different from country to country, ( Holland here ). This turned out to be the cause.
At day I enable from Google Settings the COVID 19 app tracking over Bluetooth other people that you meet and see in case one has COVID 19.
But this is the solution, at evening I disable in Google Settings the COVID 19 app since I then don't meet people anymore.
It turned out that when in Google Settings the COVID 19 app tracking is enabled, the Call and SMS Message Continuity is simply not working, ( in this country Holland here at least. ).
So the COVID 19 tracking app unfortunately here was the cause, this took me weeks to figure out, I had COVID 19 app tracking over Low Energy Bluetooth simply running all the time.
Conclusion: Follow these instructions if you experience these problems with Call and SMS continuity.
I think the by Google supplied COVID 19 tracking option does something with the phone its identifier and ironically, the time it works fine is equal to the time that a device rotates Bluetooth Keys to other phones from people having the anti corona app installed.
Good luck troubleshooting if it doesn't work.
One more thing, Call and SMS continuity is in advanced settings, but it is named a little different than the English term in this forum though. And if you cannot find it you probably have Verizon firmware that doesn't have it at all.
EDIT: Update at 2020 month 11 day 28, November 28 2020
The following seemed to resolve.
I got a firmware update for Tab S5e with revision: T720XXU1CTK1
I also downloaded in google play store a program that redirects you to the latest google Play Service Framework
I would recommend to update to latest google Play Service Framework.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kyumpany.playservicesupdate
That will only make you sure you have the latest google framework.
You can find it with ' Play Services Update - Update to the latest '
Then you will be getting the official latest google play service framework. Reboot all your devices. And the problem I had and probably others is no more.
It now works again as in the past.
Speculation: I do not have to disable the covid app anymore, it can run fine without the first guide mentioned things. The covid app is part of Google Play Service Framework. But I think the latest firmware update for Tab S5e might also be why it now is finally working.
This procedure took 2 months at least to be sure to be solved. Let us hope something like Covid never happens again.
Pull down the status bar, in the quick toggles you see a little phone icon, by default at the 2nd quick toggle page. Move that quick toggle to first page by rearranging the quick toggles. Every time you connect your tab s5e with wifi you have to reactivate call and message continuity with that quick toggle so you need it manually a lot. Then both calling and sms work flawless. Until you disconnect wifi. If you don't manually quick toggle after connection with wifi you will only receive missed call notice or SMS only.
It's a workaround.
Tab s5e Android 11 came over air. Call and message continuity did no longer work. Did factory reset of Tab s5e. Still didn't work with exception of SMS.
Solution turned out that in the mobile phone my Galaxy S8 something must be done.
It's called Reset Network Settings.
This is what it made it work, had to do this in my Galaxy S8.
Go to your mobile settings menu by sliding down the status bar:
After that choose Main Menu and Settings.
Navigate the list of settings tap General Management and Reset.
In the next step select Reset Network Settings.
Read the information in front of you and choose Reset Network Settings one more time.
Don't forget to setup Call and message continuity again. It should work.
This might be necessary after every firmware updates for mobile or tablet.
