So just got a new S7 (seems to be from Europe) and the NFC seems to be broken.
It looks like it's toggled on when it really isn't. I can't toggle it off either.
Anyone have any ideas?
It wasn't work straight out of the box as I tried the quick transfer thing in the initial setting up but it'd keep crashing.
I installed a new firmware for Australia, cleared cache, still doesn't work.

I recently flashed Revolt Rom (LOVE IT) with Gapps and everything went well. It takes a little getting use too only because some processes can take a while like on a reboot for example anyway, for whatever reason my gps is not working now. I tried flashing agps patches but they all fail, I tried gps fix, and that did nothing. All of the gps apps on the playstore do nothing to solve my issue. The location cannot get a fix and just keeps flashing if it does get a fix it is for a few minutes and the navigation does not work. If I go to list preview the correct directions are there but the turn by turn will just hang not sure what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions?
+1, mine used to be good a few months ago. But now, it is driving me crazy.

Wipe data, cache, dalvik and check if google apps are allowed to use gps in location settings.
AGPS patch actually makes my GPS slower as it normally works fast.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I did as you suggested and still gps is stuck searching. Hopefully there is a fix out there somewhere

Try different roms, try wiping system partition and flash roms. I had this issue too, with and without google apps permission. It was really weird and no one could help me not even Samsung's bs "tech support", they would just tell me "it's a USA phone and it's GPS isn't supposed to work in europe (axxholes!).. What did help me was trying out all of the official touch wiz roms until suddenly an AT&T GB rom "made" it work. Made in quotation marks since I really have no idea of what the issue was or what solved it, since then it's been working flawlessly with all kinds of roms..
As crazy as it sounds that makes the most sense out of everything that i have tried and heard
Hi guys,
I need help. Once I encrypted my phone. Location service/GPS is not working on my phone.
Before encryption. There is the location icon always comes up when I access something like Google Maps. even tried installing GPS toolbox. Able to see the satellites and all.
But after encryption, the location icon does not come up. But somehow in High Accuracy mode, it does get somewhere of an approximation of my location.(from network and Wifi).(This does not go well when you are navigating around)
Have you guys encountered this. I have even tried flashing the new L09 Rom and it is still the same.
Also searched around the forums (Looks like the old Samsung phones had this issue where after encryption the GPS would not work). But the post is way back in 2011. And they din follow up on the posts on how it was fixed.
I have factory reset my phone a number of times, flash new rom(the one shared on this forum)
Also played with the settings nothing happens. I still cannot get GPS to work after encryption.
Also another thing I notice is that during the encryption a strange error came up and say that Settings have stopped working. I do not know whether there is a coincidence or not and whether it has anything to do with this GPS problems..
Any help is welcomed. as having a phone with no GPS is really driving me up the wall.

Really sorry for late response - but you can fix this problem using attached file - this is apk from China version of Mate7 make you be able to give (or revoke) access to system data storages (including GPS) to applications.
I had the same problem as you - and using this apk i've fixed it successfully.
it doesn't work for me - can anybody sent printsceen of settings of this app?
Thanks
@nchee + @mireczeque
Have you BOTH re-flashed the stock rom by using the official HUAWEI procedure (i.e. three buttons pressed togheter and ROM saved on DLOAD folder)? If so, do you have ALSO applied a WIPE DATA FACTORY RESET plus a WIPE CACHE PARTITION?
I had some problems with APPS crashing when I tried restoring my HAM with B130. I WIPED everithing and THEN re-flashed fresh B130 from DLOAD sdcard procedure, and everithing worked perfectly. I hope this help.

Is anybody having any issues with NFC? I have NFC always on, but most of the times it doesn't work (doesn't read the tag), unless I open the magic tag app: the NFC icon is always there, but it looks like it gets deactivated somehow: I tried enabling the performance mode, but the issue is still there...
Thanks,
GM

Is the app protected in phone manager, battery?
NFC is an hardware feature, it looks like it becomes inactive and the only way to make it work is open an application that uses it, or turn it off and on again, and this behaviour makes it useless..

I am using it quite often and I did not have this issue. I have it always turned on and it never turned off. Which rom do you have? (B1**) because in the last update they have done some changes.
However since I have never seen a H8 with this problem a factory reset might help.

NFC is hardware but requires software like IR. And battery management and memory management sometimes messes with them.
Try backup (Huawei native backup app), factory reset and restore.

I checked and both magic tag and nfc service are set not to be optimized: I can't find magic tag in the list of the protected apps though.....
Have you factory reset it? No one complains about it
Definitely not a problem on mine either. Maybe if you tried a factory reset like mentioned previously, or ensured you're running the latest version of firmware
Some recently installed app could have messed with it. Try a factory reset and check with the apps as you install it.
hello, mine is not working at all. may be a hardware problem? i just got the phone and i couldn't do the tap to transfer with my old phone, and i can't read tags i made with trigger. also the native app won't read them. of course nfc is on
I realized that the NFC doesn't work when you place the honor 8 back to back with another phone. The receiver for the NFC seems to be at the top, so what I tried was pointing the top of the phone towards the back of another phone and it worked.

That's kinda bad, but not as bad as Sony's placement (at the front)
I have never encountered this problem with my H8.Try factory reset,if that does not work then maybe there is a problem with the rom you are currently using.

True!That's odd
It is indeed very odd, I spent hours fuming that I might have purchased a faulty device but I just thought to try it and bingo. Small annoyance when compared to how nice of a phone the H8 is overall.
Since I don't use NFC very much, I don't any issues with placement, but it annoys me a little when using it.

NFC Service Optimized? Magic Tag Optimized>?
How? Where is Magic Tag? I can't find it as well... Help!
For me, the NFC problems (which were severe) were fixed with the Nougat update.
this might seem like something stupid but all of a sudden the enhanced features or rcs in android messenger stopped working. when i go into the setting it brings up the opt in screen, does the circle and gives me the check like everything is ok. but it doesnt work. when i go back in all it continues to do is give me the opt in screen never giving me the actual options of the features. it has worked for me since it rolled out. nothing has changed with my setup, i am unrooted. anyone else run into this? i have tried clearing cache, data, force stopping, restarting, uninstalling and reinstalling and even updating profile. so strange but this is a feature i really liked. any help is appreciated.
thanks
Just stumbled across your post from a Google search as I am having the same issue on my Galaxy S6 on Sprint (which like you, was indeed working previously) and my brand new Sprint LG G6. On both, anytime I tap on the enhanced features in the settings it brings up that blue opt in screen, gives me a nice check mark, but I still can't get in there anymore to change the settings or verify it is working. I've tried all sorts of combinations of the Messenger app and Carrier Services to no success. If you managed to resolve this, please let me know!
Mine was working on my note 4 but it does not work on my Galaxy S8 plus. Did you guys ever resolve this? Mine never even gives the checkbox it just stays on the Excuse the wait Messages will let you know when this is complete.....

I've got the exact same problem. Have you found a solution?
Ditto on my S8. @xPhrostx or @Stanleywinthrop ... did either of you ever end up having any success?
Oddly enough, it worked fine on my dad's S3!!!
Today suddenly my wifi stopped working. It automatically switched to 4G. That has happened before so i tried accessing my wifi settings, but when opening wifi settings i saw a black screen and got the message that settings stopped working. I tried rebooting the phone about 5 times. I tried turning on and off planemode. Even combined that with the rebooting but nothing seems to fix it. Other settings are working fine, but they are really really slow. I am planning on doing a factory reset, but maybe there is an easy fix i didn't think about.
It is running on miui 13.0.1.0 global version. I live in the EU. The phone is almost a year old.
I hope somebody can help me with this problem.

If you haven't managed to "manipulate" the software, be it Rom, kernel or install unknown APKs, I think that the factory reset will not help, since it seems to be a hardware problem.
