That sounds like a real pain right there.
Though completely the opposite of the usual tag not read issues.
I'd say it will be similar on any phone that scans well, you might have to alter the way you're holding it when you're doing phone stuff. I haven't got an android phone but my tablet will do the same things if I pass my left hand too close to the reader unit. I'm on 5.1.1 but it's been the same since KitKat.
