Samsung Galaxy S5: How to Set Notification Reminder in Android 4.4.2 Kitkat

Samsung Galaxy S5 has some features that have been designed to help you easily know that you have unread notifications so that you won't miss any of them, one of those features is the notification reminder feature. If you enable this feature, your phone will alert you with the default notification sound at the specified interval to remind you of any unread notifications, in other words, the phone will keep playing the sound at the specified interval until you read or open that unread notification.


How to set the notification reminder feature?
In this post, we'll try enabling and setting the notification reminder feature with two different methods: from the settings menu and from the direct access menu.


Method #1: From the settings menu
You can enable and set the notification reminder feature from the general settings menu by using the following steps:
  1. On any screen, swipe down the top of the screen to open up the notification panel and then tap to go to the settings menu.
  2. With the settings menu is displayed in grid view, scroll down to the Personalisation section and then tap Accessibility .
  3. Tap Vision.
  4. Tap Notification reminder.
  5. Slide the ON/OFF switch to the right to enable the notification reminder.
  6. If needed, you can adjust an interval between alerts by tapping Reminder interval and then select the required interval from the following options:
    • 3 minutes
    • 5 minutes
    • 10 minutes
    • 30 minutes
    • 1 hour
  7. Now, when you have an unread notification, the default notification sound will be played at the specified interval until the unread notification is opened.


Method #2: From the direct access option
This method can be used if you have enabled the accessibility menu within the direct access feature. See the following steps to enable and set the notification reminder feature from the direct access option:
  1. On any screen, press the Home key three times quickly to display the direct access option.
  2. Tap Accessibility.
  3. Tap Vision.
  4. Tap Notification reminder.
  5. Slide the ON/OFF switch to the right to enable the notification reminder.
  6. If needed, you can adjust an interval between alerts by tapping Reminder interval and then select the required interval from the following options:
    • 3 minutes
    • 5 minutes
    • 10 minutes
    • 30 minutes
    • 1 hour
  7. Now, when you have an unread notification, the default notification sound will be played at the specified interval until the unread notification is opened.

    1. Hi Melonee Ray,
      Thanks for coming.
      FYI, I've tried duplicating your issue in my S5 and I can confirm that the notification reminder still works in easy mode.
