Ever since upgrading to Lollipop 5.1 on my Moto X (2013), I get the message: "vnd.android.nfc://ext/motorola.com:xring", every time that the screen unlocks with the Motorola NFC Skip. Is there a way to prevent the message from showing?
Thanks
Pat

I get that message as well, the Skip doesn't really work consistently for me anymore though. Maybe the first day I set it up it kind of worked, now it doesn't do a damn thing. Anyone on 5.1 with 2013 able to get it to work reliably? I may do a factory reset if so.

Called them up to get suggestions.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the Skip app on the play store. Then I re-added the Skip to NFC security settings. Seems to be working reliably now.

Still gives the message if I do it with the screen on. From the lock screen it doesn't seem to. I haven't tested if it's still working today because I'd have to remove like the 4 trusted locations I have for my home but even with trusted location on, my phone will lock itself after not using it for a certain amount of time and I'm not using on body detection. When it did that this morning, I was not able to unlock it using the Skip.

I think that it has to do with SmartLock locks up the phone after 4 hours of inactivity.

Anyone ever get any satisfaction here? I just got the 5.1 update for me Verizon moto x, it's made my NFC ring practically unbearable. It unlocks the phone fine, but then it continually scans my ring and pops up every time the ring moves out of range and back in range of the NFC reader.
