Please can someone identify this notification icon?

Hi AndroidCentral,

On my Samsung Galaxy S3, a peculiar icon has appeared in the navigation bar (see the top-left corner in the image below):

It seemed to have appeared at about the time I put in my SD card, but removing my SD card (and restarting) has not shooed the icon away. Furthermore, the icon seems to prevent any other icons being shown (i.e. I am forced to pull down the bar when checking for new notifications).

There is no explanation for the icon in the notification window, and clearing the notifications does nothing.

I tried using Google Goggles on a cropped screenshot of the icon but no images were returned.

Please could someone explain what the icon represents and how it may be removed?

Many thanks,
Will.

It looks like you may have turned off notifications. Go into the settings and see if it's turned off. Here is the reference I found online, see a few posts down by the op: Galaxy S3 Notification Bar Icon
