Ensuring NFC is Enabled

1. Verifying NFC Settings:

   1. Go to Settings on your device.

   2. If searching within settings, type NFC, then select the NFC option and ensure NFC is turned on.

   3. Alternatively, follow this path: Settings → Other Wireless Connections → NFC → Turn On. Note that this option might not appear in search results within settings.

"No Supported Application for This NFC Tag" Error

Cause of the Error

The "No supported application for this NFC tag" error message typically appears when an NFC tag is scanned while the device is not prepared to process it. This is common in scenarios such as scanning a tag on the “Clocks & Activities” summary screen, where the device does not recognize the action associated with the scanned tag.

General Rule for NFC Scanning

Remember that the device is generally set to listen for NFC scans only on screens displaying the NFC icon.
