When I restart the S7 Edge I receive a notification about my installed SD card. While I can swipe it away, I would prefer to see if it's possible to turn off the notification. The message allows me to Explore or Cancel. I formatted the card when I first setup the phone. Any suggestions welcome.
I get the same notification. Doesn't really bother me though.

It has taken me about a week and numerous hard resets to pinpoint the problem, and how to reproduce it. :evil:
It seems that the Mini notification bubble, which appears when there is more than one icon in the notification position in the title bar, displays a pop up bubble full of square boxes instead of individual notification icons, eg headset, missed calls or SMSes.
Here's how to reproduce it. You will need to have the following set up:
1. Have a .wmv video file on your SD.
2. Make sure your bluetooth headset is working fine with your Mini. You should see a headset icon on the title bar.
3. You need another phone (mobile, line phone doesn't matter as long as it has no caller non-display) to test this. Let's call it the control phone. Make sure you assign the control phone to a dummy contact, and assign a photo to the contact.
Here's how to test.
1. Open windows media player and play the .wmv file. Switch to full screen, switch back, and close the app.
2. Use the control phone to call your Mini. The photo should pop up. Hang up the control phone.
3. You should now see a notification bubble in the position formerly occupied by the headset icon. This is because there are now two notifications: headset and missed call.
4. Tap once on the bubble.
For me, I see a dialog box pop up for 1 second, with square boxes. A soft reset fixes things.
I realised that the same bug can be reproduced using BetaPlayer and an avi file.
Anyone else has encountered this?
I had the same problem with my Mini. The Bluetooth was on and the SMS sent notification came and the bubble popped up but after sometime the message sent notification envelope just would not go.
Yes, that happened to my friend who's using a Mini too. For him the text bubble or grey notification icon bar wouldn't go away, but for me it wouldn't stay. :roll:
if you're using an O2 Mini can you check on your storage and storage card thru the computer when you're syncing and see if there is a 0 kb file called "ignore_my_docs" on it?
Even after a HR I cant seem to get rid of it?!?
me toooo
same issue
Same problem here.... any help would be appreciated...
Same happens some times when I send a SMS: the bubble with the "message sent" notification doesn't disapear... I haven't find a way to reproduce this one...

Anyone facing the ignore_my_docs problem?
What problems would the ignore_my_docs file cause?
This zero-byte file is created if the Mini doesn't detect the "My Documents" folder when you first insert the freshly formatted SD. It simply tells applications that instead of scanning just the files and subfolders beneath "My Documents", it now has to scan the entire SD card.
You can delete the ignore_my_docs file, which I did, as I find applications take too long to display/scan files, eg in the Album application it will attempt to list all relevant files on your SD, instead of listing just files within the "My Documents" folder.
Thanks for the info Cheshirecat.
I was worried it was some sort of virus file since it doesnt show on the Magician but just shows if I access the storage or storage card folder on my phone when its connected thru the computer....and keeps coming back even if I delete it.
Thanks again.

Not sure if this problem is the similar to the one that shows up on the XDA 2 with the new O2 1.72.181 ROM or not... but that seemed to be caused by an old icon from O2 Active that had not been disabled properly in the new ROM. I had a constant notification bubble, even when nothing had been "missed", that showed the running application and the inactive O2 Active icon. Since I don't use O2 Active, I deleted the O2 Active application and that fixed the problem. I am not familiar with the O2 mini, or if it has O2 Active or not, but i thought I would mention it in case it helps :?

Same problem with notification
same for me
have also experienced the same problem. I uninstalled apps that put stuff on the task bar but the prob was not fixed so I did a hard reset and didn't install apps that affect the task bar anymore... I am thinking this maybe an OS issue.
In the end I did the same: hard reset it.
Now I am careful of what I install, and try to use the stock applications whenever possible. And backup before I install any system utility.
So far so good. 8)
same for me!
annoying prob :-(
Hello,
I am having a problem with notification messages, on the home screen I have 'notification' in the bottom left corner when I select it the box where the notification info should be pops up but its empty- just an empty white box and the only option I have on it is 'hide'. When I tap on 'hide' the box disappears but it still says 'notification' and I cant seem to get rid of it, I have tried restarting and switching off completely and removing the battery but when I power it back up its still there and it wont go away.
Anybody else getting this or any idea of how to get rid of it?
Thanks.
Password issue
I also experienced the same problem. For my case, it's related to the lock/password setting. Everytime when I restart my Touch Dual, it will bring the password skin (of course I set it up intentionally for security reason). Then, the blank message comes up after I put my passwords.
The only way to remove it is to go to the setting/lock and input my password again. Then the blank notification message will go.........strange bug anyway.
I hope this help.
Thanks, I'll give it a try and yes it is a strange bug- do you use the autolock feature?
Auto lock for every 5 minutes
yes. I set it as every 5 minutes. It will lock.
Cheers,
Same bug here on the 20 key EU version...
Just wanted to say that chris_khho's solution of locking and unlocking does workaround the problem- thanks. Still annoying though. I'm also on a 20 key European version.
Blank notification message
Actually, you do not need to enter the password for this workaround. Go to Settings/Lock. Click on Menu/Cancel. The blank notification will go away.
I'm using Lock/Password. To remove blank message (after restart) just prepare new SMS with no recipient and jump to message body, then cancel message... This removes stupid blank notification....
Mortscript to remove blank notification
I've written a script (works with Mortscript from http://mort.sto-helit.de) to remove the blank notification. I save this as remove.mscr and place a shortcut to it in windows\start menu. I'm new to Mortscript so if anyone can improve this script, please let me know.
# remove blank notification
Run "\windows\ctlpnl.exe" , "cplmain.cpl,1"
Sleep(500)
SendSpecial("RightSoft")
SendSpecial("Up")
SendSpecial("CR")
This message disapears also when u change input type in any application.
from xt9 to abc or whatever.
This Bug seems to be related to devicelock and exchange btw.
Without i don't have this problem.
If your using Exchange then it forces you to use the lock due to security settings...at least on mine it gave me a message once i set up my exchange that it had to force security policies on my phone and then had to set the lock. does anyone know of a hack/workaround to disable to required lock with exchange?
i download 3.14 orijinal "World Wide English (WWE) 3.14.405.2" from here and install. then i restore my contacts and sms with PPCPimBackup. After it i recognize that i have a sms problem. There is always 5 blank sms in my preview sms box (5/25) , and i can not delete them. so the new sms always come to 6/25. and everytime i have to pass 5 blank one to see the new one
at all messages part, in both mode( clsc or convrstn), everything seems ok, no blank ones.
i tried to delete all of the sms from device, but still the 5 blank ones remained.
Does anyone had the same prob? and does anyone knows the solution?
please help me. thanks.
The problem may be SMS stored on the SIM card. It has been reported that sometimes after flashing, with the SIM Card in, that soem blank SMS appear on the SIM Card.
To check, go to Messages - Conversation Mode (All Messages -> Menu -> Settings ->Conversation Mode.
These 5 SMS maybe grouped together, but the group(s) for these 5 should all have a SIM icon on the right-hand side.
If you touch and stay on the SIM icon you should get an option to copy to phone. Then go back to Traditional Mode and delete the 5 SMS. If it doesn't copy or delete, then take the SIM card out and put in an dumbphone and delete the SMSs.
I haven't found the way out yet so I'm asking for some help.
Whenever I receive an SMS alert from my home Alarm (only), it is stored in SIM card instead of phone and as a result, even though I delete them, at restart they re-appear.
I use GoSMS by the way and the only thing I did on that contact was to try and set individual alert for that number and then I removed that setting. I don't know if that messed anything but eversince, I uninstalled completely GoSMS and re-installed but still, all messages from my Alarm go to SIM card.
The only way to remove them is to enter the stock messaging application, select to view messages dtored in card and there I see all those messages only. I delete them from there and they are gone.
How can I ask my phone to store messages from my alarm in the same location as with other messages?
Hey folks
I am new to android/galaxy s7 edge...coming over from an iPhone. I had a newbie question...when I get a GMail notification, the phone vibrates and I get an unread email icon in the notification bar. I can pull it down to see the actual notification.
However, the new email does not show up as a popup notification (like an SMS for example) so that I can delete, mark as read it right away without the need to pull down the notification shade. Is that something I can enable?
I hope I am explaining this correctly. Thanks for your help!
No ideas?

Download Floatify from the Play Store. Once installed go through the initial setup. Once finished with that, click the "Heads Up" button>select the first option "Which">select the first option "App Settings"
From there I unchecked all apps and only selected what I wanted. In your case, select Gmail and any other apps you want. The reason I specified an app as opposed to selecting all, is because some apps already do this and I don't want two pop ups for one notification.
Good luck.
