Shop mak Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I suspect your phone have another 'battery drain' app, that put gmail to 'deep sleep', so you don't get any notifications. Works fine on my phone. 'Notifications settings' is another one you should check. Can have been disabled or auto disabled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of couse they do. if you click on the wi-fi icon in bottom corner, along the bottom you should see Wi-Fi, Airplane Mode & Mobile Hotspot. I have a 12 year old HP laptop that sometimes boots up into Airplane Mode, bit of a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely scenario, emails are in the Gmail inbox and phone is trying to access the inbox which would require being signed in to Google. https://www.samsung.com/levant/support/apps-services/what-is-sign-in-with-google/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes it more strange is that my PC doesn't have a WiFi adapter - only ethernet. Update: Am I correct that your device doesn't have a WiFi or Bluetooth adapter? I don't have a WiFi adapter and I discovered that if I remove my USB Bluetooth adapter, then the Flight Mode & mobile hotspot options do not appear.

I experience it on both my S21+ and S22+ devices, no known fix. If I'm not mistaken the OP just bought a new Sammy phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
