possible fix for read error

[greasemonkey1]

Just wanted to let people know if you have a phone case and nfc on your phone and keep a card with a chip on it in the case. This could cause read error as I have just found out the vibration and read error that has been driving me mad all day started since I put the card in my phone case the nfc keeps trying to read it but obviously fails causing read error. Hope this may help someone in the future 😄

That is interesting, I will see if I can replicate that here and I would be very interested to see if anyone else can confirm this.

Let me know how you get on so I know its not just my phone lol does make sense tho if you think about it.

Yes, this problem came up some time ago, I personally spent a lot of time to help someone because we thought it is something about the SD card. One of the crew just head-shoot me with this idea and it actually was it - the paypass/paywave card in the same cover and close onught to trigger the NFC.

It's very easy to replicate, just close your credit card to the phone and it start yalling "read error" because it doesn't recognize the chip there 

I am sure you helped a lot of people dude

You are awesome for posting this! Have been trying to sort out my read error for 24 hours and didnt even occur to me that it started to happening when I put my atm card in my case, I was thinking it was the sd card. Thank you

@Foxxi - Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

You can still use the case for holding the card if you wish, just turn off NFC when you are not using it:

Main Menu Settings > More > Untick NFC.
