I don't have high hopes seeing as there has been no word from Samsung themselves that there even was an issue and it still continues today, even with the newer released S7 Active.
SD Card Notification keeps popping up - Help !
- Thread starter felloffthetruck
- Start date
Yep constantly doing it on my S7 Active. I just installed SD monitor and will see how bad it is.
Update : I switched to a Samsung Evo card (previously using PNY) and so far zero unmount! So relieved.
I found a fix that worked for me...
1.Goto notifications hold down on sd card for a few seconds.
2. It takes you to system UI.
3.turn on hide on lock screen
4.then reboot phone
This worked on my new galaxy s7 edge from sprint

Simply press down on the notification and hold the press for about 2-3 seconds until the settings pop up and then turn it off for the lock screen.
I should not be replying to this thread, I'll most likely regret it but not sure if due to update or the SD card but this issue went away for me about a month ago now. Haven't had any ejects per SD Monitor. Previously I was at about 200 ejects a week. I've had about 3 updates since the issue and have dropped the phone so it doesn't seem like the card is seated bad nor did I format the card so wasn't a formatting issue. Using a PNY U3 card.
I am facing the same issue (non-stop 'SD card - Tap here to transfer media files'-notification) on a new Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1. It is very annoying.
I admit I did not read all of the 27 pages this thread has, but am I right that there is no fix at this time? Did the issue go away for someone after formating the memory card? Or is it unrelated to the card and we can only hope for a software update that fixes this?
And I guess there is no way to disable notifications for this because it's a system message, right.~

I had the same problem. There is a simple solution. Just swipe the message away to the left or right on the home screen. That should be it.
This notification keeps popping up a couple times a day. I've formatted, mounted, unmounted the card and it's still haunting me.
Is there any way to stop this?

Keep the notification pressed. When info button shows, press it and unselected everything. The icon must dissapear
Hey friends I have a great idea
Download 360 free security antivirus app from play store and run it in your smartphone .It really works after this no notification appears.Must try it

I've had just a little touch of this nonsense -- my story goes like this:
I bought an S7 Edge a couple of weeks ago (early October), and I dug out an old Sandisk Ultra 128GB card that I had laying around, and inserted it. Absolutely very notably, the S7 Edge sim / microSD tray is VERY difficult to use, as the cards don't "click into" it with any kind of friction -- they just lay there. It took me a few times to get everything inserted correctly.
Since the card had been used in gosh-knows-how-many different devices, I formatted it in the phone, and moved content to it via connecting my phone to my computer via a USB cable. I never, ever saw any kind of an SD Card notification.
That said, part of what got me to bite on an S7 Edge was a promotion Samsung was running, to get a free Samsung EVO 256GB card or some virtual reality nonsense. Of course, I picked the 256GB card. Which arrived today. Somewhere along the way, I had read someone say that they just plugged their new card into their phone, without formatting it, so I just used a card reader and copied my media files from the old card to the new one, then plugged the new card into my phone.
And that's when I got my first SD card notification, after I started the phone after inserting the card while the phone was turned off. Believe it or not, to this day, I have never "swiped to dismiss" a notification -- I have always used the "clear" function to get rid of all of them. And the "clear" function sure wouldn't get rid of the notification. I restarted the phone several times, and the notification always came back when the phone started up.
Then, finally, after reading one of the first messages in this thread, I swiped the notification away, and I haven't seen it since. And I have restarted the phone maybe a half-dozen times since then, and again, no notification. This is still "today," only a couple of hours down the road, but hopefully that got rid of the notification. I have installed the SD Card Monitor app, and so far it reports zero dismounts, so hopefully it will remain that way.
So, sweeping the notification away took care of the issue for me.

The sd card notification is a normal, yet annoying, thing on android which pops up every time you reboot the phone and you have an sd card inserted. There is no way to get rid of this notification so you all have to just live with it
This isn't the notification people were having trouble with. The SD card notification was popping up at random times, sometimes 100 times a day when the phone hadn't even been rebooted.
There was a firmware update that fixed this for the majority of users.

Sergei and Larry have a lot of half-baked software out there, but don't blame this on Android. Plenty of Android phones (running all versions up to and including 6+) do not have this problem. It is almost certainly a Samsung problem. Remember, each phone maker customizes the Android OS in all sorts of ways.
Sergei and Larry have a lot to answer for, but they're not to blame for this one. Samsung has a long history of hardware and software failures dating back to the first Galaxy phones ("Captivate" GPS issues) and people keep forgetting about those. Even when the issues involve mysterious explosions and fires. Or should we blame those on the OS too?

We have Galaxy s7 (black & gold) , new in Oct 2016.
One gets the SD msgs, the black. It gets msgs that the card is in, so tap it to move files. Or the msg says the card is missing or the card is not supported.
Sometimes I thought maybe the msgs are from a bad connection with the card since the msg would show after the phone was tapped firmly (using a game app).
Anything new about this?
BTW, I didn't get these msgs b4 the update on Nov 22 2016

Walkgood, don't waste your time. Samsung has a long history of blaming everything on the customer and the carrier. The phones are under warranty? Then have them replaced under warranty and if the new phones still have the same problem, demand to return them for a full refund and find something else from a company that deals more honestly with their customers.
Samsung will tell you anything to get rid of you, and then tell you more nonsense if you come back when it doesn't work. I'm pretty amazed that they didn't sue their customers for setting so many Note7's on fire and trying to blame Samsung for a defect.[sic]

Not sure if you are using Nougat beta or not, but can't you disable notifications about moving files? I got this one day in the last week and that was right after I moved music to my card. Haven't seen it since that day. Are you moving files a lot to or from your SD card?
