[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] neilwashere:
Wait your phone isn't even reading your SD card? That sounds like a whole other issue. Also I don't think encrypting the SD card has anything to do with the notifications cause I haven't even encrypted mine and I still get the notifications
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] LeVvE:
I don't get any notification about SD card when I use my phone but every time I boot my phone I get one that says "SD card, for transferring photos and media", is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] speedme:
Yes, I think that is normal as I also get that one notification.

I see it as the same kind of notification I got on my S5, when the micro-USB cover was not closed.

Like there was some kind of sensor telling the OS to produce that notification.

I could get rid of that notification though using a custom ROM and kernel.

But I think these guys are getting a whole lot of notifications, even when Android is operating normally.

What I was wondering, what type of S7 do you have ? Do you have the Qualcomm version or Exynos version ?

It seems to me you all have the Qualcomm version.

Mine is the Exynos version and no problems for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] LeVvE:
I have the Exynos version as well. Only started using an SD card yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] chad187:
My phone "reads" the card I have to enter the memory card password upon booting up the phone. I get the encrypting SD card notification aswell.... Under the storeage menu the SD card is just listed as "Ready" I cannot access any of the files (they don't even show up) just odd that my phone knows the card is there but does not actually read it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] skiddingus:
I was getting the random notifications both before and after encryption. The encryption makes it give 2 random notifications instead of just one. It doesn't change the root problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] paulsavage:
So skiddingus your issue has returned after the third phone then? I have officially given up and removed my SD card for the time being. I love everything else about this phone and I don't want to hate it but I'm well on my way.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Christian99:
Did you do all the steps I linked with slowly re inserting the tray. I am at more than 5 days with issue totally gone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] paulsavage:
I missed that as it was posted in a different thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/help/s7-external-sd-notification-card-t3341029

I will try and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] skiddingus:
The third phone finally fixed the problem. It has been a few days now with no random notifications. It seems to be a hardware problem to me. I really thought it was software but if it was, it should have happened again by now. I get the sd notifications at reboot only which is to be expected. After that, I get nothing until the next reboot. My card is encrypted as well. If you are getting random notifications, I would recommend asking for a replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] chad187:
SD card still stuck at "ready" is there any trick that could maybe get it to read?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] paulsavage:
About 18 hours after setting up my replacement phone and I just got the first recurrence of the notifications.... (sigh) I think I'm giving up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Christian99:
Rebooting the phone will bring back the notification for everyone and this is absolutely normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Christian99:
I did.. Multiple times. Issue still there
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] T22U:
I'm having the same issue. After reinstalling the sd card a couple of times I still have the same issue. I looked at my gallery and all of my photos are gone! The notification says Encrypting SD card... What is going on? I'm getting really upset now. Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] u170who:
Does everyone still have this problem? If not, how was it fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Travis Bickle:
I heard it was fixed by an update, some said that it wasn't really fixed and the update just made the notifications disappear.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Blackheart:
I have the same issue here.

I encrypted a 64Gb Samsung EVO with my Exynos Galaxy S7 about a week ago and it worked just fine until today when I couldn't access my card's content.

I get an unswipable notification stating that the card is being encrypted (it already is a I already said) but taping on it makes it disappear with no more results.

The card doesn't appear to be mounted nor recognised as being a secondary storage volume (although it appears as being "ready" in the storage section).

It can be accessed (but not read) on other devices but yet it's invisible to the S7 which doesn't event access it or show its content.

Could it be related to the latest OTA update since it happened when I updated the device yesterday?

Does anyone have a solution?

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

Upon device reboot, I'm now offered to either encrypt or decrypt the SD card.

I tried to first option since I just want to recovery the data from the SD card and I then get a "Decrypting SD card..." notification.

I let it as it is for more than an hour now but nothing seems to be happening (no progress bar, percentage or such).

I think it's definitely a software issue and I wonder if first, Samsung knows about it and secondly, if their planning to address the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Blackheart:
Here's the fix found in XDA (see last post by eddyarif) :

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AndroidNewbie9000:
Sorry It Is Not Fixed

I have tried every method I have found from searches including this one and none of them work.

The only thing I have not tried is factory reset because it is a work phone and it will blow away all of the work apps and getting them restored will take weeks.

I cannot even try to decrypt the phone because it is Marshmallow 6.0.1 and decrypt does not work. You have to factory reset the phone to start all over.

I have decided to leave the micro sd card in the phone in the hopes that next OTA update will see it and apply some fix to allow it to work.

This Encyption stuff is really a doomsday. I have an identical phone slightly older but still a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Marshmallow 6.0.1 unencrypted and it takes the micro SD card with no problems and works great.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ENCRYPT YOUR PHONE, JUST DO NOT!!!

The encryption does not really work anyway. If you connect your phone to a pc and enter your password for the lock screen, all of your internal files are visible once you tap file transfer from the notification pull down.

So encryption does nothing beyond the lock screen. If someone can bust your lock screen password, they've got everything.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Obscenic:
I have an 11-pin MHL adapter (it's the long one which slides deep into the phone) which I used regularly with my old S3. I now own an S4 (SGH-i337M) and the adapter *should* fit and work, but does not do either. The plug won't slide fully into the connector; and sitting loose and halfway in obviously doesn't establish an MHL connection. When I shine a flash light into the port on the phone, it's clearly too shallow to accept the longer 11 pin plug.... which makes no sense as all specs and info on the phone indicate that the S3 and S4 should use the exact same 11-pin adapter. Can anyone explain this; or explain how I can use MHL with my new phone?

hey guys i got a s6 from sprint, it comes onto the samsung screen then it goes black. The blue light is solid on the top, when i plug it into my computer via USB it does make a noise so i believe its semi working. I have tried to do a reset holding the volume down key and the power key, that did not fix the issue, i have also tried to reload the sw via ODIN still did not fix the issue

any other advice?

thanks

I used the phone to check my sked then put it back in my in pocket. A` few minutes later I take it out again to look into one of my programs. It was off, no blinking green light. I tried turning it on to no avail. I already tried the soft reset and hard reset, the battery in and out thingy. When its on a charger, the red light is on.

Anything else I can do or is the only option AT&T warranty?

FYI, I've not put anything new on it, software or otherwise. Its been functioning great before.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chatty:
Ok, here's what I did before:

install Kingroot

install XZDualRecovery (containing TWRP 2.8.7 and PhilZ Touch 6.59.0)

reboot to TWRP

try to flash TWRP3.0.0 to "kernel image" --> no good idea

found Z2 in FlashMode, could revive it with FlashTool and original OS image

redo Kingroot

redo XZDualRecovery

power off

press & hold VolDown

plug USB cable

nothing happens!

I want to unlock the bootloader to be able to dd TWRP3.0.0 - I can already do that but it does not change a thing (still only 2.8.7 coming up).

When I power on and press VolUp I see PhilzTouch, and VolDown shows TWRP 2.8.7.

Any ideas about unlocking, upgrading TWRP, ...?

Edit: Ahh, I had to reload FlashTool! Now it recognized FlashMode again.

Definately interested in this thread, the only two reasons I haven't got a Mi5 yet is because

a) I'm Australian, and they don't support band 28 (supposedly) and

b) They haven't released the Pro model yet.

I do have some questions though, as the first post is quite vague...

What will you be testing? Throughput? Reception? Supported bands?

If you're testing bands...

Will you just be testing in its' completely standard state?

Are you going to attempt modification with QPST/QXDM to enable US bands?

If you can indeed get more bands on it I'm getting one.

I do believe that it's a possibility - I read somewhere (can't find the source now...) that the X12 modem is the first by Qualcomm to have the modem/baseband in the same solution.

I'm assuming the reason some phones could be unlocked and some couldn't before this is due to vendor-specific modem adjustments or different sub-SKUs of the Qualcomm chipset, so I'm excited to see if it's possible.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] veladem:

This is the best I've seen so far. And it is only in certain areas where I'm sure there are antennas. Usually around 40-50 rest of the time.

I've managed to find some 4G+ (LTE Advanced) but for some reason, it doesn't hold down the signal long enough for me to test it.

My network apparently supports upto 400Mbps, but I haven't come anywhere close to that :)

They have made it a priority over here to have strive for the best LTE networks in Europe (think we are maybe 4th or 5th best in Denmark). There is huge competition right now and prices are super low.

You can get 25GB for 89DKK a month (12 dollars?). Pretty cheap I think.
