The NFC antenna in Estimote Beacons isn't particularly strong, so it sometimes requires a few tries to align the antenna in the beacon with the antenna in the smartphone properly. Not much to do here on the software/SDK side, so I've closed this issue.
You can start a discussion on our forums, tell us how you want to use NFC (configuration/deployment? or in your app?), and we can try to help, maybe suggest some alternative solution, etc.
Prerequisites
Basic information
I have few NFC beacons. When i tap the beacon on to the backside of the phone, some times beacon gets detected and sometimes not. I tried the same in Estimote app also. Even in Estimote app, the Quick connect menu is not working sometimes.
Expected behavior:When i tap the NFC beacon i have to read the the Beacon identifier and mac address everytime,
Actual behavior: When i tap the beacon some times i am not able to read it via NFC (i.e Not detected).
Here my code
When beacons are not detected, i get rawMsgs as null in the following lines of code Parcelable[] rawMsgs = intent.getParcelableArrayExtra( NfcAdapter.EXTRA_NDEF_MESSAGES);
