I updated from 12.0.2 to 12.0.3 of MIUI recently and I now cannot pay by NFC with my banking app. My banking app doesn't use Google Pay and I don't have or want Google Pay so I can't try that.
I have checked that "Use HCE" wallet is set. Is there anythign I can do to get things working again?
Does no one have any suggestions on this at all?
@ludditefornow can you elaborate a bit what do you mean by "cannot pay by NFC" - what exactly happens when you place your phone near the terminal: is there any reaction (message) from the banking app or no reaction at all? Did you try to pay with the banking app open? Did you try disabling and re-enabling contactless payments in your banking app? In MIUI settings just below the option where you select "Use HCE" there's another option to select application for contactless payments - maybe the upgrade reset it to "Google Pay"?
I also have MIUI Global 12.0.3 (upgraded from 11.something) but didn't try paying by phone yet.
Thanks for the response. I have always paid with the banking app open. And have never had an issue.
Since 12.0.30 I have had two reactions from the 'pay wave' NFC payment terminals. Either they state that they can't read and throw up an error. or simply do nothing.
I have tried to disable and reenable contactless payments and no difference.
I have confirmed that Google Pay is not the default and that my banking app is. I have also confirmed that my banking app has NFC permissions.
I really have no idea. But I appreciate your reply.
For me (Global version) it's still working fine.
Never used my phone for contactless payments, so can't give specific advice, but a couple of simple questions to help troubleshoot.
Does NFC work at all? Can you communicate with other phones, e.g. can you send a photo to another phone using Nearby Share (or whatever name NFC sharing might be called on MIUI, if it's not the same)
How did you update MIUI? OTA or manually? If manually, did you flash the correct ROM? Because Indian MIUI versions don't have NFC functionality, as the physical device is missing on Indian phones.

Thanks,
three different NFC checking apps return positive to NFC and HCE. There is no Android Beam and as far as I recall there never has been.
Updates always OTA. And the current ROM is global as is my phone.
I've completely uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and then added the card again. I will check it today and see the result.
Thanks for the assistance all.
Yesterday I paid successfully with my phone (as I mentioned - MIUI Global 12.0.3 upgraded from 11.something).
Interesting outcome (for me anyway).
After removing the credit card from the app and then deleting the app, I then reinstalled the app and added the card. This led to the NFC HCE function again working.
Another symptom that appeared at the same time on the update was that I could turn on airplane mode at the icon on the pull down draw on the home screen. I couldn't turn off the airplane mode in the same way. To turn off airplane mode I needed to do so with the slider in settings.
After HCE function started working again, my airplane mode on / off functionality came back as well.
I am just writing this here in case someone at sometime gets something similar and may have another option to try to repair it.

I'm having some problems with NFC. Prior to Friday evening, my NFC was working great with Android Beam, Google Wallet, etc.
Friday afternoon I was playing around with Tasker and the NFC Locale plugin to create some tasks when a specific NFC tag was read. I made just a simple "turn on flashlight" task and was wowing myself with the magic of the tag. I also installed the Xposed module that lets you use NFC with the screen off. After playing with it for awhile I put my phone in airplane mode (I was in a poor service area). A few hours later (still in airplane mode but with NFC turned on) I resumed play with NFC and Tasker to make some more interesting tasks but noticed my phone wasn't responding to my previously used tag or any other (unused) tags. I thought maybe since I didn't cell signal that is why it wasn't working (stupid thought, I know) and decided to wait till I had service to resume the tinkering.
Fast forward to tonight, I still can't get my phone to respond to any NFC tags or any tap to pay terminals (for use with Google Wallet) or Android Beam with my SO's Moto X and I can't think of what else to try before I do a factory reset.
So far I have:
1) frozen/hibernated every NFC using app individually to test each one to see if any of them would work on their own
2) uninstalled every app and Xposed module that uses NFC except Google Wallet
3) rebooted my phone multiple times ensuring NFC is on
4) ran a logcat to make sure NFC is actually turning on/off and from what I can tell it is (I can post the logcat if need be)
Factory resets are such a PIA and I'd like to avoid it at all costs but I am thinking that is the way I need to go unless anyone has any other ideas for me. Googling around it seems like a lot of NFC issues tend to be hardware related...I am definitely hoping that is not the case.
Thanks in advance for any advice or input!
Hi all,
I have a strange issue with my Nexus 6. For background I am using 64GB model, sim unlocked, stock, not rooted, not OEM unlocked, v5.0.1.
I recently purchased the Nexus 6, restored my account and apps to it. So far so good. Next time I started up the phone, I noticed NFC had stopped working. Checking the Settings menu it had completely disappeared along with "Tap and Pay". I know they were there before but they had gone. I went back to the retailers who happily swapped it for another.
Nexus 6 #2 - EXACTLY the same thing happened. I could then only presume an app was somehow causing it. After uninstalling/installing loads of apps I finally figured it out - any "large" app being installed seems to kill NFC on reboot. I don't know exactly how "large" it needs to be but the offending apps are all over 1GB. Any one (I have three such apps) of those installed and NFC goes. Uninstall it, reboot and it's available again.
I can replicate it everytime and on two different devices. Can anyone else confirm/deny/test the above and advise? If it was a bug I would have thought there would be other reports but then >1GB apps are fairly unusual. I can also confirm it DOESN'T happen on my (unrooted, stock) Nexus 5 running v5.0.1.
Any thoughts or ideas greatlly appreciated
TIA!
Am I really he only person suffering from this on two different phones?

I have the CW 64 and i have a lot of games installed.
Some close to 4GB and my NFC works great, I pay with google wallet a lot.
My google play music is 15GB with the downloaded music from all access.
My guess is that one of your apps (possibly pre lollipop with no update ) are causing this.

Top man, you solved it! I was working on the assumption that a user installed app couldn't interfere with a system service like this!
I used an Application Permission app to see which of my apps had access to NFC, and there were a couple of old ones that I don't even use any more. Uninstalled them, restarted the phone and all working perfectly now

Which apps specifically??
---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------
I've only gone and fixed it!
IO don't know how or why, or which of these steps are unnecessary, but I will post EVERY step that I took, and the reason behind taking these steps was for the purpose of fixing secure fast unlock which seemed to be broken based on location, and I was attempting to fix it via bluetooth secure unlock, in the hope that fixing it via bluetooth would fix it via location too, and at the same time i was trying to figure out what was wrong with the NFC...
Settings, accessibility, turn all off (i had previously had pushbullet on, turn off_
install F secure app permissions, filter NFC, open every app that has NFC permissions
settings, security, smart lock, input pattern, trusted devices, add a newly paired bluetooth device (i used my laptop).
lock phone, unlock phone, to ensure that smart lock is working.
switch bluetooth off, lock, unlock to ensure that trusted location smart lock is working
settings, "more", turn aeroplane mode on. turn aeroplane mode off.
phone switched off, switched back on, askwd for pattern unlock before boot, upon boot NFC and android beam settings are restored in the "more" settings menu.
Please try it and confirm whether or not this is a valid fix
Hi,
I set up my account for nfc payment with my bank ING netherlands. However it never seems to even connect when i want to make a payment. Just get no response whatsoever.
Nfc works fine for my speaker, so the chip is working.
Anybody has ing and experienced something similar? Or any advice on how to make it work?
I'm on Lineage and am proably going to try it next week. On what software are you? and which version/date?
I am on the latest MIUI global beta.
in case it works for you, please let me know. might have to try switching rom then.
I'm on ING as well, and I can pay using NFC without problems. Are you sure the PIN terminals you used work with phones? The supermarket near my home has wireless terminals which don't. If you've never had NFC payments work at this store before, you could try somewhere else.
On Resurrection Remix, btw.
I finally got it working. I will rxplain what went wrong.
ING uses HCE for nfc payments. In my settings, secure element type was set to default, and had to change it to HCE in order for it to work.

Vincent, where do you change this setting in Lineage 14.1? Is it even possible to change this in the UI of Android?

I was doing that on miui 8 sorry. But if it is there, it is peobably in settings->more
Ok, thanks @V-incent. This setting is not present in Lineage 14.1. In fact, there are very few settings for mobile payment.
But you are using the ROM MIUI 8? How is that compared to Lineage?
Hi,
Has anyone noticed that starting in late April, NFC based payments no longer work?! I wonder because other NFC usage works (e.g. Android Beam or simply reading various NFC tags or cards). I can't figure the exact date, but the last payment that I made with my phone was around 24 april, then it comes the april security update. And after 1 May I noticed that it simply don't work.
Regards

I also have the april security patch, but i could still do a payment yesterday with the NFC of the phone.
So no problem for me.
Yes, Google Pay stopped working for me in mid-April, *but* before I installed the April security patch so that wasn't the cause for me. I was hoping the April patch might fix it but no joy. I've been checking here to see if anyone else had the same problem but this is the first report I've seen.
It's very annoying as I'd got very used to using it... as you say other NFC things are fine.
I've done all the usual tricks of uninstalling, wiping caches, trying an earlier version (it seemed to stop working after the Google Pay update was installed that was released on the 15th, so I thought that might help), etc. etc. but no joy at all. It just doesn't trigger.
Same problem, suddenly NFC doesn't work anymore. Weird thing I discovered is that it might work at that moment when I press the power button to switch display off. ... Strange
Using Magisk with it? Rooted device?
Ah, ok, maybe i wasn't clear enough.
For me it still works, but i do NOT use Google Pay, i use the app from our bank for NFC payments.
I think that i have read some time ago about problems with Google Pay, so maybe that is the case.
I also found out some time ago, that i have to have the lockscreen on-screen, otherwise i cannot do a payment.
So unlocking the phone makes payments impossible and screen-off is also a no-go.
But i suppose you guys already knew that.

Nope, pure stock (apart from most evenwell apps disabled for this user).
EDIT: Two threads about it now on the Nokia forum at https://community.phones.nokia.com/categories/nokia-7-plus
Fixed by uninstalling Google Pay
Just an FYI, I had my NFC issue resolved by uninstalling Google Pay. May help someone else.
I did not use Google Pay (since is not available in my country), but two tap and pay apps from two banks where I have accounts. Both have updates in april, and one of them tryied to became forced my default one without asking explicitly. But as I say: other NFC functions works: I can beam, I can read tags or cards.
I didn't use Google Pay as well, however, it seemed to interfere with my banking app (couldn't pay anymore) and access to buildings.

No, I mean since is not available in my country yet, I haven't it on my phone.
....and fixed in the latest version of Google Pay, released last week
It may be related to this: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-2041 ?
Anyone else experienced problem with Google Pay after update?
It worked extremely well for me up until the update, then all of the sudden it doesn't work any more.
I checked the settings inside Google Pay, but all seems well. Card is registered and everything.
When holding my phone up to the terminal there is no reaction from the phone at all.
What can I do to fix this?
I have exactly the same, but with my normal banking app. It can also do payments via NFC, but when I hold it up to a terminal nothing happens like you said.
I'm now factory resetting my phone to see if that helps, I'll let you know!

Nope... Unfortunately not. Maybe I'll just downgrade to Android 9 and wait until a new patch for Android 10 comes out where they fix this.
No problems here, working as before

What firmware version are you on?
I've downgraded to Android 9.1 and the mobile payment is working perfectly again, so it's definitely an issue with Android 10. So if you really want to use it, you can downgrade for now. Otherwise just wait for the next Android update and hope that it gets fixed.
Same here in France, Google Pay says Phone moved too fast.
Can pay with one other bank's app, but not the other one's. (both Georgian banks)
They did warn in changelog that some banking apps are not working due to their compatibility issues with Android 10, though

True, that changed the way apps can use your IMEI and this was the way most banking apps verified your phone. But my banking app should be compatible with Android 10 and it is working for some people but not for others.

10.0.0.168. "normal" update. Not a member of the beta or anything, just normal OTA. Working exactly as on Android 9. Also tested/used with different cards/institutes in google pay. Working like a charm
Same problem here, Google Pay worked perfectly in 9.1. Now, with 10.0.0.173 there's no response when near terminal. No error messages anywhere. NFC works fine, e.g. ReadID to read the NFC chip in my passport.
The same here, but I have a mate 20 pro. After the update to Android 10 I can no longer pay with Google pay.
From Germany
Updated yesterday and works fine for me in UK
So i better stop an update i am asked to update to 173 and stay on my 168 It is working for sure on 168 for me. Used it quite often
I solved the problem on my P30 Pro. I was using a "twin SIM" card from Ice (service provider). When I switched sim cards to my main SIM, Google pay works as before. The twin SIM worked fine with Android 9. I think the problem is that the twin SIM does not have the real phone number, but some long code that the phone system somehow recognizes, but causes issues in some scenarios e.g. iMessage on iPhone which cannot verify it. That's why I had the twin SIM in my P30 Pro.
EDIT: The iMessage problem is caused by the fact that only the main SIM receives "class 0" or flash SMSs, used for iMessage's verification.
I'm having the issue with my UK region VOG-L29 that's running .173. I rarely use Google pay, so I'm not sure if it was working before the upgrade. Google Pay works fine on my Fossil Wear OS watch that's tethered to the phone. NFC also seems to work fine when connecting my camera to the phone.
Have also the problem of nfc payments (with gpay and postfinance app) not working after updating to Android 10. Full reset didn't help currently on version 10.0. 0.173 and still not working.
Huawei support doesn't know anything about this and said I should wait for app updates and/or emui update.not very helpful...
Uninstalling gpay and deleting the cards linked to it and setup everything from scratch didn't help either. Nfc hardware seems to work as I can trigger my bt connection with my nfc enabled headset.
Hopefully Huawei sorts this out quickly as it is very annoying since I used nfc payment almost every day on emui 9.1
Any solution for this problem? I also used the ohone to pay and the point is that it is a big inconvenience that there is no solution
Waiting for Huawei to fix the damn bug in their next update (hopefully). Downgrading or resetting and so on is a pain when the affected phone is your daily driver.
Been using GPay already multiple times with 10.0.173.
No problems here in germany.
Regards
Same here!
Updated yesterday to EMUI 10 and realized today that I could'nt pay at the terminal. Bad situation without credit cards
Seems like NFC does not work at all. When I try to read my credit cards with NFC Tools, there is no reaction from phone as before.
