Shut Down Battery Optimization for Specific Apps

As I’ve already mentioned above, notifications don’t play on Galaxy S10, S10E, and S10 Plus because of the battery optimization feature of Android 9 Pie that powers Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphones. Here is how to toggle off the battery optimization for specific apps:

Go to Settings -> Apps -> More Settings (three-dotted icon on the top-right corner)
Go to Special Access and tap on Optimize Battery Usage
Tap on Apps Not Optimized if the menu doesn’t show all apps
Select “All”
In the menu that opens up, choose a specific application (repeat the operation for any other app you want) and tap on the toggle switch to turn it off

While the notifications don’t play on Galaxy S10, S10E, and S10 Plus for some apps due to the battery optimization feature, that function in Android 9 Pie is useful to save power when you need it. Choose wisely whenever you toggle battery optimization off. You can leave it on for apps like Phone or Messages to be sure you won’t miss important notifications.

Toggle Off Adaptive Battery Function

Android 9 Pie comes with some excellent features, but the Adaptive Battery one is the most annoying when it comes to notifications on Galaxy S10, S10E, and S10 Plus, among other smartphones for different manufacturers. In case notifications don’t play on Galaxy S10, S10E, and S10 Plus, you should shut down Adaptive Battery feat. Here’s how to do that:

Go to Settings -> Device Care -> Battery
Tap on the three dots on the top-right corner (More Settings) and access Settings -> Adaptive Battery
Press on the toggle switch to turn it off

If notifications don’t play on Galaxy S10, S10E, and S10 Plus, then the methods presented above are the best solutions to tackle that issue. However, if for any reasons, they do not help you sort out that glitch, a hard reset on Samsung Galaxy S10 might be helpful. In short, here is how to perform that operation:

Turn off your device
Press and hold the Volume Up button and the Bixby button, then press and hold the Power key without releasing the first two keys
When the Android logo pops up, release the buttons to permit the OS to enter the Android Recovery Menu
Using Volume buttons go to “Wipe data/ Factory reset,” and select the option with the Power key
Confirm the choice
“Reboot System Now” message should appear soon
Select to restart your device now
