    Hi,
    I'm creating an application that stores some data on the CARD. It works fine on LG G2, Xperia Z, Samsung Galaxy S4.
    Unfortunately there is a problem on other devices (so far tested with Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 2013). The "personalize" method throws the exception attached below.

    Any ideas how to fix it?

    Dear mack23,

    The Nexus 4 and 7 devices uses a Broadcom NFC reader which is not full certified for using MIFARE DESFire products (for Android devices with NXP NFC readers this problem should not occur). With updates this problem should be fixed:

    Nexus 7 Android Version 4.4.4
    Nexus 5 Android Version 5.0
    Nexus 4 Android Version 5.0

    We suggest you to update your Android device.

    Regards,
    The MIFARE SDK Team
