possible fix for read error

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 😄

Thanks for that, it was really getting on my nerves! I took my cards out and it went away straight away. Slightly_smiling_Face

Thankyou sooooo much!!! Nfc read error try again, was displaying constantly off and on my screen making an alert noise, I was close to throwing my phone at wall to shut it up. It was my bank card in my phone case... Never would have guessed that was the cause. Slightly_smiling_Face Thankyou once again.

Same here. Putting my bank card in my Sony M2 case had exactly the same effect

This started on my phone last night when i was texting and drove me crazy for all of 5 mins then realised my card was in the cover too. Fixed my problem when i removed the credit card. thanks Winking_Face
