NFC Tag not supported - Samsung Note 4

[lollipot]

Just got a Samsung Note 4. When i put the phone on my long wallet ( i haven't buy a case for it yet). There is a few buzz and this "NFC tag not supported" message keeps blinking. Anyone knows what should i do. Is it due to the camera at the back (Note 4 allow users to take selfie by sliding a finger on a gadget at the back)

Greatly appreciate for advice and help

There's nothing to do with the sensor behind. Its because you have turned on your NFC setting. Once turned on, any contactless payment cards such as your paywave, paypass credit cards, or ezlink cards and other cards such as for security doors, will generate the buzz and error message if you do not have a supported app installed to read these cards.

The antenna for NFC is located on the surface of the battery.

To resolve this, either pull down the notification bar and turn off NFC at the shortcuts, or u can off it at settings.

The error message is kinda disturbing when you place your phone inside the wallet, i suggest you turned it off for the time being.

Just for info, NFC for note 4 is turned on by default...
