I have been using my phone since last night and after my last reboot I have a recurring 'SD Card For transferring photos and media' notification. It lets me dismiss it then re-appears after a few minutes. If i click on it it opens up 'My Files' but there are no messages or options regarding the notification. Long pressing the notification loads up 'System UI' App notifications but again nothing that helps remove the notification. Anyone else have this problem? I have looked through every settings page, My Files options, google etc but I have found no solution.
Recurring SD Card Notification

Tried formatting but that didn't help. Ejecting and re-mounting seems to fix the issue for a few minutes.
I smell a fast patch incoming lol. Especially since there wasn't a zero day patch.

I only get the sd-card notification after power the phone on. Never comes back unless I shut phone off and reboot. I was having very slow to wake phone issues while I used a new Samsung 128gb class 10 sd-card. I changed UT to a 64gb SanDisk sd-card, class 10 U3. No more issues.
Something on my phone is dismounting the sdcard (says something about unexpectedly dismounting for a few seconds) and the message pops back up when it re-mounts. I don't think its a bad card because I just got it last month and used it with my S4 for weeks without any issues. Going to try re-seating the card.

You're not alone so it might just be picky about the cards it uses or maybe this first batch has bad slots... Which would suck. You could try folding a small piece of paper or construction paper and taping it to the top of the card to make it thicker and press against the contacts better. It may just be a thinner card. Make sure the paper is securely taped so it doesn't come off in the phone.

Sounds like the same issue some people had with the S2 back when I had it. It was very picky with which SD cards it would allow without this problem. I will also try connecting it to my pc in a card reader and running disk check when I get home.
I haven't tried a Samsung card but finally gave up and ordered a Sandisk Ultra 128gb. Will try it tonight and report back. The message for the sd card should always appear on boot since the card is re-mounted but it shouldn't appear after that until the next reboot. Previously had a PNY Turbo 64gb U3 card which was dismounting frequently. If someone could report back on Samsung cards that would be great!
I'm using Sandisk 128GB Class 10. It did the mounted notification for the first little bit it was in the phone. I actually had previous data on mine from my G4....photos, etc.
It didn't go away when I swiped it, so I tapped on the notification and explored the SD Card for a few mins just to see what I had on there (had forgotten), and next thing I know, the notification had gone away. Hasn't come back since...

Same to me also. I use S7 reformat and I get it. When I do a cold boot I get it.
Looks like replacing the PNY Turbo 64GB U3 card with a Sandisk Ultra 128GB U1 card has resolved the issue. Only get the message at boot and that is normal. It is likely that the phone is just picky with SD card manufacturers/chips.
I'm using a Samsung elite and it pops up every 10 minutes also controllers don't work with otg cables
