Hi My Galaxy A71 recently started buzzing whenever I tried to use any app - whatsapp for example. I read somewhere that since I have a bank card stored in my phone and I also have a physical card in my phone case, NFC is trying to scan for devices. What is the problem. I have had a card stored in my phone for more than 2 years now and I have also had the physical bank card in my case for the same time period. What did the "brilliant" programmers in Samsung break? Any ideas

@Members_6ARWyBf I doubt that it is related. As a test, remove the physical card from the case for a day or so. Does the issue go away?

I love how people are so quick to blame the programmers at Samsung (and not Google), rather than something just going wrong with their phone. Reading "something" "somewhere", does not make what you read a factual statement.
