The nfc tag being repeatedly read notification [LG G3/5/6]

Open dfrankes opened this issue 8 years ago • 31 comments

Hello,

Im 100% Sure my LG G3 can read the tag, But when i want to make the Key Mapping it keeps saying after like 10~20 seconds: The nfc tag being repeatedly read. Reading it repeatedly may consume battery more quickly, and then it loses connection to the NFC Tag

@dfrankes This sounds really weird... Unfortunately I don't own a LG G3 to reproduce this behaviour. Does it occur all the time or only for some tags? What Android version does this device use? What MCT version did you use? Have you tried older ones?

@all Is there someone else with a LG G3 who can verify this behaviour?

I keep getting this error too. Only thing I have no idea what an NFC tag is??? Sorry to hijack your issue but what does this even mean? I have the same phone.

Hello,

I used the newest Version of MCT, i didnt try older onces, But im running Android 5.2

@dfrankes Thanks for the info. Could you try to read this tag with other apps? E.g. NFC TagInfo or NFC TagInfo by NXP?

@mishel24 Mhhmm... maybe you take some time and goolge it. ;) I'm sure you know the technology. These credit card shaped plastic cards with a chip inside that can talk with readers wirelessly in close range (e.g. access card for your hotel room). Sometimes in other form factors like key fobs or even stickers. In some cases you can read their memory with your smartphone.

@dfrankes Any news? Have you tried the other apps?

ikarus23 avatar May 29 '16 16:05 ikarus23

@ikarus23 Noone of the apps work. Didnt test it since.

dfrankes avatar May 30 '16 21:05 dfrankes

Puh, so at least I didn't f**ked up. ;) As @mishel24 is/was getting this error too, I think there is/was something wrong within the Android version that is/was shipped for these devices. If the LG G3 has a new Android version by now, I would really appreciate it if you can test for this behavior once more.

ikarus23 avatar May 31 '16 18:05 ikarus23

@ikarus23 I will test it later today.

dfrankes avatar Jul 24 '16 04:07 dfrankes

Any news on that?

ikarus23 avatar Oct 30 '17 13:10 ikarus23

@ikarus23, Already upgraded to the LG G6. but if you need me to test this again i can grab the LG G3 and test it again. Not really doing this NFC reading anymore.

Thanks for your feedback. I say we let this one slide. If someone has the same error in the future I will reopen this issue and try to find more information.

Closed.

Hi! I have the same issue on LG G6

unrecognizedguy avatar Aug 08 '18 08:08 unrecognizedguy

I am running Android version: 8.0.0 Mifare Classic Tool v. 2.2.3

unrecognizedguy avatar Aug 08 '18 08:08 unrecognizedguy

The problem is that Developer option was enabled. If you disable it, the promt disapears

unrecognizedguy avatar Aug 08 '18 10:08 unrecognizedguy

Problem is still occurring

This sounds really weird. Could you try to read this tag with other apps? E.g. NFC TagInfo or NFC TagInfo by NXP and see if the issue is the same?

ikarus23 avatar Aug 10 '18 13:08 ikarus23

The problem is that Developer option was enabled. If you disable it, the promt disapears

We also have an App which communicates a bit longer via NFC and we're running into the same issue with that notification message and the NFC connection being reset by the OS of the LG G6.

I retested it with Developer Options enabled and disabled... makes no difference. So can not confirm that!

Hi, I also have the issue with info "NFC repeatedly read ..... to save battery etc." I have LG G5 and it was working in March. Now when I try to read tag I have this info and connection is lost. I think it is connected to latest system update but I can't be sure. Now I have Android 8.0.0 version. Any hints .... ?

ikarus23 please help. :-)

I don't think there is anything I can do. It really sound like an issue of LG G3/5/6 devices. I will reopen this issue in hope somebody has more information.

ikarus23 avatar Jan 15 '19 19:01 ikarus23

Have you tried to reach out to the LG support?

ikarus23 avatar Jan 15 '19 19:01 ikarus23

I didn't because I think it is connected to Android. I tried to read the same tag on LG G3 and it was perfectly fine. But G3 doesn't have Android 8.

I found my old LG G6, i will try the app tomorrow to see if it works (android 7)

dfrankes avatar Jan 16 '19 19:01 dfrankes

It would be cool to test it before any updates.

g5user avatar Jan 17 '19 11:01 g5user

I didn't because I think it is connected to Android.

Well, LG is responsible for the Android version they ship with their devices. There are a lot of customizations manufactures do to their Android. In most cases it's drivers and UI changes. Maybe it connected to the NFC driver they use. But I'm just guessing...

I have an LG V30 running LG stock Android 8.0.0 and facing the same problem.

No matter what tool used (tested with MCT, MTools and other), even without any NFC tool, if a card is connected to the phone for more than 1 minute, then the system will complain about "NFC repeatedly read" and auto disconnect NFC connection.

I also checked that complaining dialog, its activity name is com.android.nfc.utils.LNfcDialogActivity within a package named NFC Service com.android.nfc.

So I tried to disable the activity in 2 ways (you just pick one you like):

  1. Disable this activity using 3C Toolbox (or other similar tools like Lucky Patcher, using pm disable method.)
  2. Or Just run this command in adb shell, or Terminal Emulator, with root permission. pm disable com.android.nfc/.utils.LNfcDialogActivity

and NFC never complains nor auto disconnect again.

@dfrankes @unrecognizedguy @g5user Please check my solution above.

I use this app to check that activity name and package name.

If that command doesn't work, then you probably need to check that activity name by yourself.

CainSakura avatar Jan 31 '19 18:01 CainSakura

@CainSakura that solution seems to be working, but it isn't a good solution. it should work fine without adb shell commands

dfrankes avatar Feb 01 '19 13:02 dfrankes

@CainSakura how can I do it without root permissions?

g5user avatar Feb 01 '19 19:02 g5user

how can I do it without root permissions?

@g5user I just searched on the web and seems no way to achieve that.

CainSakura avatar Feb 01 '19 19:02 CainSakura

LG G6 here, same problem when the reading/writing of a tag is too long.

I first tried with "Linux's libNFC-only compatible" tags bought on Amazon (didn't read the description thoroughly before buying), and the writing process was always long enough to trigger LG's NFC protection.

When I realized my mistake, I bought "Android's MTC-only compatible" tags and, more often than not, the writing process is fast enough to not trigger the NFC protection. Although I have to try several times for some tags. So there's that: try several times and check the compatibility of your tags, it might work.

The same problem here using a LG G7 Thinq with Oreo 8.0.0. Anyone tested in Pie?
