Why SD card cause my phone to vibrate randomly?

[acsurfer]

My phone is set to vibrate mode.

I have set notification reminder 5mins (settings>my device>accessibility>notification reminder>reminder interval 5 mins) so whenever I have any uncleared notifications in the notifications panel, the phone will vibrate every 5mins until I clear the notifications.

Everything works fine when I did not have an external micro sd card inside the phone.

If I put in a external micro sd card (kingston 32GB) into the phone, the phone will vibrate every 5mins as if there is an unread notification, but there is no unread notification at all.

It seems like there is a "hidden notification" or something that the sd card cause the vibrate notification.

How can I solve the problem. My phone is Samsung S4, not rooted. Thanks

It may be worth checking the card for any corruption. Unmount the card (in Settings>Storage), remove it, and insert it into your computer. Then run chkdsk: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...guide-using-chkdsk-fix-corrupted-sd-card.html

Can I do the chkdsk when the card is inside the phone? I do not have a micro SD card reader on my PC.

I have tried 3 SD cards (1 Kingston, 2 Sandisk) and all have the same problem.

You need to insert the card into the computer, although it's less likely that it's a card problem if it happens with every card.

Try wiping the system cache partition. https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-5744
