Annoying NFC Icon in SysTray

Hi there, recently got my own Fairphone 5 and also found the NFC icon annoying. While the UI tuner linked earlier wasn’t able to remove it, I found this one was able to do so: It does require a bit of adb tweaking, so presumably this isn’t supported by Fairphone and may stop working in a future update, but I figured I’d share my findings here for the people stumbling upon this thread from searches.

FP4 fingerprint sensor makes multiple attempts without lifting finger

I’ve had the multi-scan behaviour for a long time when I used to use the official Fairphone FP4 (non-flip) case. It seemed to stop when I was still on Android 12 and switched to the flip-case, which uses a long cutout for all buttons on the side instead of one perfect-fit cutout for the power button. So yes, the issue is gone for now, but I can’t reliably confirm the correlation with the Android 13 update.

In general: please dont mix devices (and issues) in the help category and participate in existing topics instead of duplicating.
