Anyone else having trouble with Nowbar?

[skyatnight]

It was there and working yesterday. Now it's gone, it's enabled. Just not showing up . Loving the phone but disappointed. Also would not connect to my WiFi earlier, tried everything. 😒 😑

Hello 👋 @skyatnight 

Try a forced reboot by holding down the volume down key and power button simultaneously for more than 7 seconds to restart it. When your phone resets, you will feel it vibrate.

If you perform a forum search you may find existing threads with some further help or guidence within.  

In regards to your Wi-Fi connection ~ Does the phone connect to other sources of Wi-Fi  🤔

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

Thanks for your reply ,I've done a forced reboot and still not working. I have other devices that work on my WiFi , the only way I got it to work was removing and reinserting my sim card then it instantly found it. I'm sure I can sort that out but as far as the Now bar is concerned still no luck.

My Now bar isn't working either. Disappointing. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my choice of wallpaper? I have rotating nature scenes.

When my S25 Ultra arrived, it wouldn't turn on. That still has me concerned, and now I'm having the issue with the Now bar. My S24 worked perfectly. I'm having reservations about the S25 Ultra.

Same experience here, Now Bar was working until i transfer my data & settings profiles from my S23U to my new S25U.

Set up the S25 Ultra but after two days I decided to return it and keep my S24 Ultra. Didn't like the feel of the flat sides and the look of the rounded corners, plus lack of bluetooth on the S Pen. The S25 is fast, but occasionally didn't respond to touch commands, so I may have gotten a bum model, especially since it had trouble turning on right out of the box. Regarding the Now Bar, I'm wondering if it only appears when you have new notifications? The S25 upgrades are minimal, and most will be coming via a software update to the S24 series. I'll wait for the S26 and hope they change the design back, and include bluetooth on the S Pen. If I wanted the look of an iPhone, I would just get an iPhone.

Same issue here ŵith NOW BAR. Wasted another hour with Samsung Support and basically got the "same solution suggestion" perform a FACTORY RESET.

Same thing I had 2 do with S23 ultra, S24 Ultra, Galaxy Ultra watch, and Samsung Buds 3 Pro. May be time 2 go back 2 a flip phone

I had instant remorse when I got the S25 Ultra. Sent it back with no regrets. I never appreciated my S24 Ultra more than I do now!

I'm wondering if the NOW Bar will work when it comes to the S24 U with the software update.
