What is  Galaxy S6 notification reminder?

Normally, when you get a new message, or missed a call, Galaxy S6 will give you a notification in the notification panel. This alerts or reminds you that there are something new.

Most of the time, such notification messages are accompanied with the notification icon in the status bar. The LED, by default, will flash as well when the screen is off..

But the notification tone is played only once, by default, even if you don’t check the phone at all. Most Android phones are designed to work in this way.

Sometimes, you may want to be reminded that you have a new message or you need to do something until you read the message or check the item.

Samsung has a solution for this requirement for long time. In Galaxy S6 or S6 edge, if you want, you can be reminded again and again until you take the action. This is called Galaxy S6 notification reminder.

Galaxy S6 notification reminder allows you to get notified repeatedly until you read the message or check the items.

By default, Galaxy S6 notification reminder is turned off in almost all regions.

How to use Galaxy S6 notification reminder?

To use Galaxy S6 notification reminder, you may follow these steps.

Step 1: Access Galaxy S6 Settings

You can access Galaxy S6 Settings in different ways:

  1. from apps screen, tap Settings.
  2. from notification panel (swipe down from status bar or top of the screen with one finger), tap Settings (gear) icon.

Step 2: Access Accessibility

Galaxy S6 notification reminder is put under Settings—Accessibility.  This is different from previous generation phones.

As shown below, in Galaxy S6 Settings page, tap Accessibility.

use_galaxy_s6_notification_reminder_1_settings use_galaxy_s6_notification_reminder_2_accessibility

Step 3. Enable Galaxy S6 notification reminder

By default, Galaxy S6 notification reminder is not enabled.

In Settings—Accessibility page, tap Notification reminder as shown above.

Now, you can enable Galaxy S6 notification reminder by drag  the switch to right side. You can also just tap the switch and it will toggle between on and off.

Once the notification reminder is enabled, the switch should shown as green color in default Galaxy S6 theme. Of course, if you are using other Galaxy S6 themes, the color will be different.

use_galaxy_s6_notification_reminder_3_notification_reminder_offuse_galaxy_s6_notification_reminder_4_notification_reminder_on

Step 4: Configure Galaxy S6 notification reminder

You can configure Galaxy S6 notification reminder to meet you needs:

  • Choose notification interval. How often do you want to be reminded? You set the interval from 15 seconds to 5 mins as shown below.
  • Select apps for which repeated notifications are sent. By default, all apps are selected. It means notifications from all apps are included. You may deselect some unimportant apps.
  • Turn on/off vibrate.
  • Turn on/off LED. You can choose whether the blue LED lights up or not when the screen is locked if you have unread notifications.

use_galaxy_s6_notification_reminder_5_reminder_intervaluse_galaxy_s6_notification_reminder_6_app_settings

Step 5: Test Galaxy S6 notification reminder

Now you can test Galaxy S6 notification reminder. It should bug you until you read the message or check the phone log or take corresponding actions in the app

How to disable Galaxy S6 notification reminder?

As mentioned. notification reminder can be annoying if you have lots of notifications from many apps. It actually becomes a distraction.

So, it is a good practice to select only important apps as mentioned in Step 4 above.

Of course, you can always turn off Galaxy S6 notification reminder in Settings—Accessibility—Notification reminder.

Sometimes, if you may want to silence Galaxy S6 or S6 edge,  you may follow this guide.

      Anyway, if you feel Galaxy S6 does not work for you as expected, it is better to return it.

      Sound is always turned on if you turn on notification reminder.

      The notification sound settings depend on individual apps. You can set the default notification tone in Settings–Sound and notifications –Ringtones and sounds–Default notification sound.

        After many tech calls to Samsung, AT&T finally confessed, the one that comes with the phone does not work. Until they get to get around to fixing it, use must use another app. The recommended Easy Reminder, so far working. You’d think that Samsung would be more clear about the problem.

        Yes, I have the same problem. I tested this out and did not like it, so I turned off the reminders. However, it still constantly vibrates.

        I have tried:
        -turning the reminders on then back off
        -restarting the device

            I have been using smart alert since I bought the phone. I tried it regardless and I still have the same issue. The LED light does not work at all when charging or reminders unless notification reminder is turned on, at which point it still vibrates every 60 seconds to remind me of a missed message.

            The goal is to get the original settings back. I.e. red on charge, vibrate once with new message, flash blue every 15 seconds or so for missed messages.

            Then, you do not need notification reminder. You can turn off LED indicator (under Settings–Sounds and notifications–LED indicator), wait a few mins, then turn it on again.

        I tried to use the notification App that came with the phone. After much trying and calling Samsung customer support, I wanted to return my new S6 for a refund. AT&T finally told me that the default notification App will not do repeat notifications, and at that time there was no fix, only 3rd party Apps. Still none I found to do voice mail repeat notifications. Shocking Samsung pretends it will work and no fix I know of yet.

            Can you tell me if the “default notification sound” can be disabled. I chose to have a different sound for each notification e.i. email, text, calendar etc… the sound that I chose for each application will sound once then revert to the default sound and ultimately changing it to one sound for all the applications.

            Frustrating! Can anyone please help!

    By default my samsung galaxy s6 had a flashing light reminder when my screen was off for reminders about text messages, missed calls, voicemails, facebook, etc. I was looking for a way to get reminders about voicemails and stumbled upon the steps you show above. However, unlike before when I only had 10 reminders about voicemail, this alert goes on forever until I have a chance to read/listen to my messages. I want to go back to just having the light flash as a reminder when the screen is turned off……is that possible? I can’t figure out a way to undo what I changed. When I keep the light notification “on”, I still get the alert beep. When I turn the light flash reminder “off”, it is off for everything. Any suggestions?

      Not sure what you want. But you can always turn on flash notification in settings – accessibility – hearing.

      Voicemail is a different story from others. All your voicemail messages are stored on your carrier’s server, not on your phone. The voicemail notification is controlled by your carrier.

    I have a S6 Active and I work in a noisy area. I need a continuous audible reminder for missed calls, unread text messages and voice messages not listened to. I have followed the set up instructions and with the default app it works maybe for a day. Used a third party app, Easy Reminder. Works good for everything but voicemail, still looking for a fix on that one.

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Edge 6+ . If someone leaves me a voice mail message when the phone is turned off , i receive no notification of a pending voice mail message once I turn the phone on .

    If someone leaves me a voice mail message when the phone is on , I do get a notification . Additionally , I will receive a notification of the voicemail message left for me when the phone was turned off .

    Any idea why I will not get a notification of a pending voice mail message left for me when the phone is turned off and it is turned back on ?

    Both Samsung & Sprint have not been able to resolve this issue for me.

      Voicemail messages are saved and managed by your carrier, not the phone. The carrier’s server should push a notification if there are any unread voice mail messages when you are connected to the network. You may have to wait a while after the phone is powered on.

      A few carriers may stop pushing notifications for old messages if the device is offline for extended time.

        Thanks. I realize it is saved on the server and not the phone. I never get any type of notification for as long as the phone is turned on. I can leave myself a voicemail , turn the phone on a couple of minutes later and never get a notification. Don’t think it’s a matter of it being an old message being deleted

        If someone leaves a message when the phone is turned on , the server then pushes a notification for the first message from when the phone was turned off too. Wierd.

        Samsung rep suggested downloadong Visual Voicemail App. Phone already has it. Sprint still has an open ticket for my problem. Must have spoken to at least 7 people at Sprint in the last week. Went to Sprint store yesterday. Tech support person spent 1/2. hour on the phone. Got nowhere. Frustrating. Thanks for your reply snyway. .

    I have the same issues, some what resolved with visual voice mail. This is clear, the Samsung Galaxy S6 has a glitch regarding notifications. Maybe fixing the glitch will require coordination the carriers, but why continue to ignore it? Samsung tech support pretends it does not exist. I post this trying to draw attention to the problem in hope Samsung will fix the glitch. You out there Samsung! why make us jump those these hoops for nothing!

    I would like to turn off the feature that provides a message after a missed call. Effectively, it provides me with a message telling me that no-one got through to me. I can see this from the fact that I have a missed call. I don’t want a message as well. Can anyone advise how to turn that off please?

      It depends on apps. Most apps have its own notification control.

      Google calendar does not offer such granular control.

        That’s not happening Simon. When I turn off notification I get zero notification. I have tested this repeatedly. Thanks, though.

          You should not turn off notification. Turn off notification reminder.

    Please really need some help here. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 and for the life of me I cannot get the phone to send me notifications for S Planner. Nothing is working. I have notifications turned on wherever they are supposed to be but still nothing. So my calendar is pretty much useless for reminding me of anything that I have entered on it with regards to reminding me. The only thing that I can see is the S Planner is not showing up in the Notifications section of Settings. Which in itself is strange since it is a Samsung app. I really hope you can help me. If not, maybe a suggestion to a calendar app that works well with sending notification reminders. Thanks.

      Did you disable any pre-installed apps?

      If you put the phone on desk, does it vibrate?

      You can try to reboot the phone to see whether it helps.

    My issue is I would like to get the repeat notification sounds for the person that text me. Ex: I’ve assigned a ringtone and message alert to a person but when the reminder plays it’s not the alert from that assigned tone. It’s the notification alerts that plays. Most of the time if I don’t look I’ll think it’s just an email coming through. Is there anyway to have the notification that is assigned to that particular person to play as a reminder?!

      No, you cannot assign different notification reminder for different contacts.
