Message Reminders

[jrross3]

I want the reminder to alert me when I have messages. I've set it to do so, but after reading the alerted messages, the alert continues. I've done all of these steps without success in clearing the alerts: cleared the cache, restarted the phone, deleted the message and my response., turned off the "Reminder" app ( in case it interfered with the alert), deleted all messages in case ghost messages existed. Anymore sugeestuons other than turning off the reminder alert altogether because doing that would defeat it's purpose,

If you don't dismiss the message, it will keep alerting you until you dismiss it, mark it as read, or otherwise interact with it.  If you leave it up there as a reminder to act on  it, it will continue to alert ou. If you get additional messages, it will alert you.  I guess, though, that I am just dense because I am still do not understand the need for the reminder, since the notifications are all there when you do get back to your phone.

You're not dense, it's just not something that happens to you. It might be an important message that I might not see until later that day when I'm not busy doing other things.

Have you thought about getting a watch?

Now that's another issue. Good point though. I have one. I just don't wanna wear it all the time. I'm such a picky person, but that's a solution.

Isn't this what your notification shade is for? You can also turn on dots or numbers on the app on your screen.

I saw your message now because my phone is out. Sometimes it's in my purse or backpack though, and none of those features work conveniently in those situations. People have given some ideas I hadn't considered, so I'll try them out. Thanks for your suggestions.

If it is in your purse or backpack what will a reminder do for you?

[jrross3]

I would hear it when it gives the alert every three minutes.

Set a special tone for Notifications.

I guess I could set a 3 minute song for it or something! I'd eventually hear it. Good idea.
