Notifications stop on wifi then come all at once when going back to mobile

[elflamablanca]

This happens a few times a day. I'll be on wifi and i wont get any notifcations for like a couple hours. Then I will turn off wifi and a bunch of notifications will come in all at the same time. Gmail, facebook, my nest camera, everything. This happens on my home wifi as well as work wifi and pretty much every wifi connection.

I also have an issue where I won't get notifications and then when I unlock my phone i will get a notifcation late. This happens mostly with gmail.

Have never had this problem, it sounds like some kind of power save setting or such.

Try these steps and good luck. https://www.guidingtech.com/top-ways-to-fix-notifications-not-working-on-samsung-phones/

no

hmmmm did you mess with your apn settings?

Don't fiddle with your phone's current APN settings!!!!
That could mess up your cellular connectivity, cutting your phone off from any online access. APN is a cellular only matter, it has no effect at all with WiFi, nor on how your phone automatically switches between WiFi or mobile data connectivity (or at least how your phone 'should' automatically switch).

Have you tried just restarting your Z since this problem started occurring?

I dont even know what or where APN settings are lol? I have restarted my phone numerous times.

Just for future needs, when you do need to find some obscure option when you open up the Settings menu at the top there's a search bar that should help you find what you need.
But getting back to your initial query, it's an odd issue that apparently affects all WiFi connectivity. Try digging through the Notifications menu to see if there's some setting that was inadvertently enabled -- see pg. 142 in your model's User Manual PDF link below:

If this continues I would just stay off Wi-Fi completely

Well that's an extremely unreasonable suggestion lol.

It could be a faulty wifi module, which is hardware. Take it to a shop or buy a new phone
