Android Central Question

Hello...

After enable NFC in my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and touch the NFC RFID card (13.56 MHz), my phone gives a message "Tag may be restricted". However, when I use other NFC enable Android phone, it reads and displays information just fine. I really need your help as I'm using this phone specifically for writing and reading NFC RFID card in identifying/updating trees information. TQ.

Are you using a Flip Wallet case by chance?

Finally solved this issue and thought I post it for everyone's benefit. It turns out that the NFC of the phone constantly tried to connect with the chip inside the LED case. The chip is located underneath a sticker. Once removing the sticker, the error messages disappeared.
