Blink Camera notifications when the screen is off.

[Chris9486]

Since I changed my phone from a Samsung s9 to a Samsung s21 ultra I'm not getting notifications when my Blink cameras are armed or when a recording has been made.

I've tried;

Removing the app from sleep modes

Removing the cache and app data

Removing the app and reinstalling x 2

Removing all battery saver options

Removing all do not disturb routines

Checked the apps notifications permissions and they are all set to on.

When I removed the app and reinstalled it, I got one notification when it armed at night. Then nothing since.

The cameras are on a routine of arming at 10.30pm and disarming at 6am. On my galaxy s9 I received notifications when this happened.

Please can you help.

@Chris9486
For a system with one camera that has motion detection disabled, the system does not arm, and alerts are not sent.
So enable motion detection and see if that will solve your problem.

I have a 3 camera system and motion detection is set to on. It is on a schedule that turns on at 10.30pm and off at 6am. The only thing I've changed is my phone, from an S9 to an S21 ultra. It worked fine on my S9.

I've had notifications when I've reinstalled it, for the first time it armed. But after that I didn't get any.

That would tell me it is a problem with the app and not the phone since it's happening on two different models.

I found a fix peter918. I did a full reset of my phone and as it restarted I told it not to restore settings. I also removed blink from the app restore list. Works perfect now. It must have been an issue from transferring devices.

I thought that might be the case but have been putting of a hard reset thanks very much Chris
