Very very annoying Capacity for NFC Services FULL message - constant

[gonzozen55]

Hello;   I have had issues with my phone since my Z3 was updated to lollipop a few months ago.  Lets be clear, I have NEVER had the scotiabank app on my phone, so that cannot be the issue.  Also, I have never even used NFC, nor did I ever have it turned on. So how my "capacity" can be full is beyond me?

I have a Sony Z3 copper, currently running D6603, with a Qualcomm processor.  Android v5.1.1 installed.

I can tell you, that without a doubt this is one of the most annoying messages I have ever seen on any phone, and I have had a few over the years.  The exact message:  "Capacity for NFC Services Full", when you click on the message, it shows 159% full, yet I have never used NFC since I got this phone in April.   I also never got this message until the lollipop update.

I have tried a backup, and complete re-install from PC, that did not change anything.

The only thing that takes the message away is to enable NFC services!   I have no real desire to do that, but in order to be able to use my phone with the annoyance, I have turned it on.

This has been going on for a long time, and I am certain someone like myself who has NEVER used the scotiabank app must also be getting this annoying message?

Please Sony, do something to fix this, or this will be my last Sony phone.

Thanks

I have just bought a Sony Z2 off someone not knowing the NFC problem and now I have this annoying problem when it pops up! Please Sony fix the Problem or else I will never have another Sony phone!!! Anyone found a fix yet??

I have a Z5 Premium and the pop up is rising since the last update to 7.1.1.

I tested to run in safe mode and try to repair with Xperia Companion and factory reset, everything with no sucess.

I uninstalled or disabled all the google play application I don't use (movie play, music play, etc.), no success neither.

I haven't any NFC payment application, in fact I only use NFC once to transfer from my all phone to this one two years ago.

In the screen after the pop up it shows 0% of services used.

Is there any real solution? Is anybody planning to update again fixing this bug?
