no notification sound

[George7mm]

Galaxy 8+, Since the pie update,  when im connected to any bluetooth and I get any notification the sound only comes through the bluetooth and nothing from the phone, 
I've read on the net quite a few people with the same problem,  is there some kind of fix for this?

Are you using Sound Assistant & have all Notifications etc going to your BT device?

[George7mm]

I didn't download anything , only using whatever came with the phone.

Well after every single OTA - I ALWAYS Boot into Recovery and Wipe Cache at the very least - While it's always possible that an OTA broke something - Normally a Security Patch OTA doesn't touch anything else - Try Booting into Recovery and Wipe Cache & see if it resolves your problem 🐧
FYI - Sound Assistant is a Samsung app that is quite useful - You might want to download one of (it's part of the Goodlock family 😉

well in that case I Erik downloaded it tonight, thanks, do you mind telling me how to clear the cache, I've never done that, I'm willing to try anything to fix this issue

To Boot into Recovery and Wipe Cache:

Power OFF the phone.
Press & Hold Power + Bixby + Volume UP until you feel the phone vibrate - Release ALL Three buttons - Wait a few seconds until you see the Recovery Menu - Use the Volume button to Scroll down to Wipe Cache - Select with the Power button - Wait a few seconds until the Recovery Menu defaults back to Reboot Now and Select with the Power button - You have now successfully wiped the Cache of your device 🐧

thanks alot, I appreciate it

No worries - Hope it solves the problem for you 👍🐧
The only other thing I would try is to Factory Reset - Let me know if you need any help with it.

[George7mm]

ok, I will, thanks, do you think if I do a reset on the network settings it might work if this doesn't?

Doesn't cost anything to Reset the Network - Sure give it a try - You could also Unpair your Bluetooth device & Re-Pair it... 🐧
