NFC not working properly

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.

Is there a way to uninstall or turn off The magic tag app?

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.

Pie update is live

Received the notification for Pie update yesterday morning for Sprint HTC U11. Thus far, it seems to run smoothly. However, I can't find it anywhere in the setting to turn on the mobile hotspot. Anyone is experiencing the same issue?

Thanks for the reply. With Pie, it's no longer under more in wireless and network section (at least on my phone). Weird.

Thanks for the screenshot. For some reasons, hotspot and tethering is missing on mine phone. This is so weird. I hope I don't have to do it factory reset for that to reappear.

I am experiencing the same thing. Data usage and then NFC. No Hotspot option. Sprint also.

can you access it from the pull down hot spot should be in there.

Pull down hotspot quick setting tile has disappeared too.

I downloaded the OTA, but if I'm running Bad Boyz 8.0 rom, do I have to flash a RUU first or can I install this over Bad Boyz? Its systemless root using Magisk.

if you have root and twrp installed you can't, flash the oreo ruu(which will wipe you phone)and return you to stock then you;ll recieve the ota and go from there.
best way i know, if anyone else can do better then just chime in here.

try updating your profile in system updates, ...????

Problem solved. Please follow the instructions below:
Dial ##72786#. Note: If the dialer does not appear, tap the Dialer icon. Tap YES. The device will restart and initiate Hands Free Activation. After the device restarts it will automatically perform Hands Free Activation. Once the activation is complete, tap OK. The device will then update the PRL. Once the update is complete, tap OK. Tap OK. The device will restart.
After restarting, hotspot and tethering setting selection reappeared.

It has been said many times in the main thread, but here are only a few (I sold it because HTC is not going to fix anything):
Cannot disable the led into do not disturb mode
Digital wellbeing is not into settings menu (you have to use the search)
Adaptative battery is not into settings menu (you have to use the search)
Battery problems (I lost 1,5h SOT)
HTC sense companion is not counting steps (I think there was a new version of the app THREE months later to fix it)
Those are which I can remember and were persistent after factory reset and even after re-flash the RUU.
As I said, I sold it two months ago and I never will buy another device from this manufacturer.

I have a sprint model that i unlocked,since the update i can't use hotspot, i tried ##72786# it just gives me a menu with 4 options that i can't change.
Is there a way for me to get hotspot back?

Xz3 - 52.1.A.0.672 RU version

Xperia XZ3 (H9493) - 52.1.A.0.672 - RU version
Notification seek bar bug - STILL!!! – If I’m playing media through chrome, soundcloud or another app, the notification seek bar does not work in most situations. This has been a bug since the initial Android 10 roll out and I’m still shocked that we’re still going through this.
Swipe up from the lock screen – I’ve noticed this since the update from Android 9 to 10. It used to be a quick flick of the thumb where I could go from the notifications on the lock screen to the security pattern. Now since the A10 update, I can’t do that anymore. It is a longer swipe, more exaggerated swipe to get to the security options. It was easier with 1 hand before and it needs to go back to whatever it was in Android 9
Camera – Still gives error unknown error. It’s MUCH EASIER to fix than the first and second android 10 releases but it still shouldn’t be like this. It’s at the point where I don’t know if it’s an actual software or hardware problem. And with everything that’s going on, I probably won’t be able to confirm for the next 6 months. I'll probably end up wasting$200 fixing the hardware, that was really a software issue all along.
Fingerprint – Good, I believe either at or close to Android 9 speed
Battery – Good
Networking issues – I believe better than the last update. It seems good so far so
No idea why the software version has to be in the notification quick settings. That doesn’t need to be there. It’s out of place/doesn't add value by being there
I am so frustrated by Sony. They’re taking steps to fix this but damn you should have been on the ball. I do a clean install each update because I don't trust Sony to do this correctly.
This phone is like the Renault Formula 1 team. It's a great product and each update is a step further but holy **** you all should have been a lot farther along by now. Now Mclaren (One Plus) is starting to pass you.
Edit: I forgot to add this earlier. I found a bug by random. In dark mode, About phone -> Emergency Information, the notification bar text is black. So you've got a dark screen with black text.

I still have not received an air update on my H9493. my software version is still 532.

It's possible it's a hardware problem. It happens to me too but it was worse with the initial A10 update. My understanding is if you squeeze beside the camera when turning the phone, it can solve the issue. This is because it's a possible loose ribbon.
The initial A10 release was terrible so flash up to .672 and it may fix the problem (if it's a software issue)

Hey I am also facing this problem on my xz3 dual. Failed to restart the camera is consistently occuring in the past few weeks but restarting the phone worked then. But now its been almost 2 days, camera app says unknown error, I tried everything mentioned above but still unable to resolve the issue. Kindly let me know if downgrading the firmware resolves the issue.
Thank you

Today I downgrade my Xz3 H9493 to android
9 but my camera didn't get back.So I decided
to check hardware.that is really sad.
Coz I have to take out all water proof
Seal from my back cover .After that I found
my Camera connector is loose.That's why
occurring unknowm error and after
2 or 3 days is good again.At last that is
not a software error at all.

I got error while enabling tethering
Anyone else?

I'm having signal issues. Dropping connection all the time. Latest firmware hurt this badly.
Same SIM on a Samsung A30S on android 9 works fine.

Hello guys. I need your help finding 52.1.A.0.618 for H9436

Network issue or server lost problem

I'm facing a strange network error in my OnePlus Nord. Most of the time it can't connect to internet from Google app, Google widget and Google assistant on mobile data. On wifi works fine and other apps in background can use internet at the same time.

You allready submitted the issue(in you're other thread), and if you look closely at OP Forum it's a known bug especially with some carriers. Best to make a bug report @op Forum. So they can take it in their next update (hopefully). Guess it affects many users (including me). I will rapport it also. The more the better. So you are not alone. I don't know if OP Staff looks here @XDA.
My 2 cents..

Thanks for your support, but iam here because no one staff member of OP was replied on my issue...let me clarify that the issue has been noticed to team OnePlus...... Googling is basics of smartphone, if basics not working properly, then customer be in panic.

If I flashed stock full image , will it fix the problem or not. Iam asking because not all users having this issue I think.......plz reply thanks in advance

The same here. Assistant replies with "No connection at the time".
As soon as i open any other app that connects fine and assistent works again as well.

same problem here, i have moved from moto z2 force which had network constantly restarted so my frustration is at limit

Same here, I may return mine cause it poised me for one month, I use map everyday and Google search 1 time out of 3 it does not work.
Today I noticed my screen is becoming purple/red when I lower brightness, also auto brightness never worked as intended.
Too much issues. I tried getting help from oneplus but they just told me to clear cache, factory reset blablabla. I offered the same phone to my g friend she has the same issues.
Btw a colleague got a 7 pro, same issues but a different career operator than us.
Have you tried with a custom rom ? So we will now if it's software or hardware related...

I am also facing the same Network issues. it dosen't happen all the time but once a day it does occur.

First try this morning

Just a suggestion , not sure it will work or not. There is private DNS settings under wifi and network, try to tinker with it.

Tried Automatic and Off, no differences.

Can you try once with selecting private DNS provider option and input this - 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com

Question Anyone having issues with VoWiFi NA version?

I just got the NA version of the ROG Phone 5 and sadly I cannot get VoWiFi working on TMobile. Sadly I'm in an area where I don't get the best signal and it's extremely important for this feature to work. Especially considering I spent 1k+ for this phone... Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Have you enabled it in settings and then tried a reboot?
I've also noticed that it may not work until the SIM is installed BEFORE initial setup (or before a factory reset)

I confirmed with other people too. US version doesnt have Tmobile wifi. If it would, I would have bought one

I'd like to add that after running the dialing code you have to enable wifi calling in the settings app.
Aswell as that, at least for me, I need to disable and re-enable it within settings after re-running the dial after reboot, for it to actually reconnect
Just to avoid any confusion.
This does work tho! Kva is right!

Otherwise, I'm not really sure at all why the functionality is developed but not enabled by default.

Yeah it's stupid I ended up talking to advanced tech support and the guy has never heard of ROG phone 5 and said I should return it cuz it seems like it's a hardware issue.... I'm like dude it's your system not giving me proper access's and authorizing my phone... He's like I guess you know more about phones than I do... The idiot even made me reset my phone to try and fix it even though I told him several times that has nothing to do with it.... I swear I have no idea how some of these morons get jobs as IT... At least have basic IT understanding....

They're not in IT. They're customer service reps. They read from a script.
Check out the movie The Internship. It's just like that.

Well, when I'm talking to the advanced Technical team I am not talking to customer service reps... I talked to a customer service rep and they forwarded me to the IT team. Considering they are called advanced technical teams I would assume they are in IT. whereas the initial person I talked to was and clearly stated she was a customer service rep.

The only difference between the two people you spoke with is that one had access and authorization to suggest more "advanced" solutions. I'm not saying they shouldn't have better training, but legitimate IT professionals rarely work the call center as more than a summer job.
Anyway, the point was that they're a waste of time unless the issue is the SIM card or your plan. It's unfortunate.
Dial codes typically trigger an intent. If you can track down the intent, you can have it launch automatically on boot. Once that's taken care of, it shouldn't be too hard to automatically enable the setting. That is assuming you called because setting the prop didn't work.
Another alternative if you do have a property and can't write to system is setting it with a magisk module, since the system is read only on a firmware level.

How would I set that up using magisk module? One Issue I have noticed is the wifi calling turns itself off after a while. sometimes it works for several hours other times maybe a day but then turns off and I have to restart the phone and run the command again.
