My xperia Z ultra also encountered this problem. But upon removing the sd card and putting back the problem is gone.

Hi, I have exact the same error on my German Xperia Z, where the message reads 'Lesefehler. Versuchen Sie es erneut'.

This is already discussed on the German androitpit.de but no solution so far.The problem seems to go back to the update from Android 4.1 to 4.2 but did not go away with the 4.2.2 update. It occurs only when the phone has data connection. Also a factory reset does not help.

By the way: the problem has nothing to do with a SD card since I am currently not using a SD card.

I had this too on my Xperia Z1 and it stopped when I removed my credit card from my phone case. I assume the phone was trying to read the chip in the credit card??

I had the same problem and I Googled about it which brought me to this thread. Dg73 wrote something about his credit card being too close which made me remember I had my nfc function on. In my phone case I always have my bus card as well which works the same way as these nfc tags, I assume.

I turned the nfc off and it seemed to help. I always have it on for fast communication with my tablet but now I have a reason to save my battery life I guess 🙂

Mine started when I unlocked my phone saying 'read error, try again' and made a noise. I took my SD card out but it still said it so had nothing to do with the DR card. I noticed my bus pass was near my phone so I moved it away and as soon as I did it stopped saying it. Upon putting my pass near it again, straight away it came up with 'read error, try again.' hope this helps as it's not your phone its the chip in your cards!

Also how do I turn off the nfc thing??

The case I've been using for my Z Ultra has slots for credit cards. I had three cards inserted. As soon as I removed them, my "Read Error. Try Again " issue disappeared.

@WildBill - That is becasue you have NFC turned on in your phone and those are NFC enabled cards. if you turn off the NFC function on the phone when you are not using it the problem will go away.

In Melbourne we use a credit card style pre paid ticket. I was storing it in the mobile protective case. I have now noticed thanks to postings above that it was my card interacting with nfc that was causing problem. I cam replicate the error message just by putting my myki card in contact with phone. No card no more errors

Cause your phone is near your credit cards,when nfc is on,your phone thinking found another nfc and this alarm is coming up.
So remove your credit card from your phone case or turn of the nfc.

Thats it write, the error is with NFC, it tries to read the tag devices and throw error if unable to read it, it you want to keep the credit card in the case, turn off NFC, it does not seems like a much usable feature anyway.

Just found this feed and... turns out my oyster card in the credit card slot in my phone case was the issue! So simple. Does this mean you can read cards with the phone or something?

Hi CassieCGraves and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

The handset can not read these cards, hence the error. Any cards designed like this for financial transactions are not able to be read by the NFC chip in your phone.

Hi,

Recently bought my Z Ultra, love it btw, and it started act like this today.

Yet I have had NFC on since beginning so why it acts up now is strange.

It started when I placed the phone on my library books, as they use rfid chip to register the loan.

But I never had this issue on my Acro S, so how come it bugs now?

Can the message be turned off as I use NFC for my MDR-1RBT headphones and tags, its a great feature once you get to use it.

Regards

Peter
