Now bar Dissappeared on S25ultra lock screen

[GauravOberoi]

Hi all,

While I was still struggling with battery drain and weird display resolution issues on my brand new S25 Ultra, another issue has arisen.

I just noticed the Now bar has disappeared from the lock screen. I checked and reviewed all settings; everything seems fine. It is enabled everywhere, yet it is not reflecting on the lock screen.

Is anyone else facing such issues?

Also, the sports update that earlier appeared on the top left of the status bar has also disappeared.

Attached are snapshots for reference.

How about the Sports update that used to appear in the status bar on top left side . It isn't showing anymore ?

Well thanks for your suggestion i tried with spotify, Now bar came back only to disappear again when I closed the app. Well I believe now bar serves a larger purpose example give us all updates sports, health etc....it was always supposed to sit on lock screen and not come on and off.....

I'm feeling very sad that your now bar has disappeared. 🥲

I understand you're experiencing multiple frustrating issues with your new Galaxy S25 Ultra, including battery drain, display resolution problems, and the disappearance of the "Now bar" and sports updates from the lock screen and status bar, respectively. It's definitely not the experience you expect from a brand-new flagship device, and I'm sorry you're going through this.

Let's try to address each of these issues:

Battery Drain and Display Resolution Issues: Since these are ongoing issues, I recommend continuing to monitor your battery usage stats (Settings > Battery and device care > Battery) to identify any specific apps or processes that are consuming excessive power. Also, double-check your display settings to ensure the resolution is set correctly and that adaptive brightness is enabled.

Since you have already tried the above steps, this may require you to contact Samsung to return and replace your new device.

In the meantime, thank you for your patience, and I hope we can resolve these issues soon to restore your satisfaction with your Galaxy S25 Ultra.
