It comes up a text: Read error. Try again. at my mobile's screen a few seconds, then it disappears but shows up very often and I do not know what the problem is I dont have any aps that are on.
Dont know if Read erros. Try again. is the right text on english but in swedish it says: Läsfel. Försök igen. If that gonna help?

@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.
