Phone NFC unresponsive
-
I have uninstalled and re-installed the NFC ring unlock app but this has not made no difference. Any ideas to resolve issue would be helpful as I was really enjoyed having the ring until the recent bugs in app :(
-
Does the other side of the ring work at all IE for contact/website sharing etc?
You might need to set the ring up again in the App for it to work?
-
The phone is not picking up the ring at all I tried resetting and allocating functions but with no look
-
I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalled it it works for about 5 mins then becomes unresponsive again
-
What happens if you use any other app to scan the ring (e.g. TagInfo)?
-
Yesterday evening after re-installed the software for unlocking the phone worked fine and this morning same problem
-
What phone and Android version do you use? And please respond to my previous question.
-
The phone vesrsion is Sony Z3 android 5.1.1. I have not used any other apps with the ring as not sure which are suitable
-
For some reason it's working this morning I will monitor over next few days
Thanks
-
Back to square one app recognises the ring and I set both sides to unlock phone. But nothing happens even when I go back into NFC unlock app nothing happens there either at the moment I manually input the pin but this was only as a back up
-
Make sure no other apps are open that try to use NFC..
-
Got it working have to do soft reset every so often can cope with that, albeit should not need to
-
Problem has started again it's getting annoying try to find root cause it should simply work
-
@javed-Rehman You said a soft reset worked. I've been seeing the need for a power cycle ever so often myself (Nexus 5x) for the Smart Lock to work correctly (once a week).
Otherwise, it seems like the NFC isn't being seen at all. Perhaps an artifact of system updates and such? I'm getting trained to cycle all my phones in the morning - besides Pavlov being proud - I don't wish this behavior on anyone. I do think the problem rests in the OS.
-
Agreed on the OS being at fault - I see this often on my Xperia Z2 tablet, especially with Smart Lock but also with other NFC login methods.
-
I have this issue too- if you reboot the phone, the screenlock using smartlock won't let you log in with your nfc tag until you delete and re-add the tag into smartlock, it's certainly the OS' fault and nothing we can do about it
