NFC extended length not working

  • /e/ version: 0.20-q-20211216151800-dev-starlte
  • Device model(s): Samsung Galaxy S9 (starlte)
  • Device rooted: yes

Summary

NFC extended length is not supported. It is important for example for eGovernment capability using the electronic ID card from Germany. This is probably a downstream issue in LineageOS. LOS supports NFC extended length since LOS 15.1, but the configuration needs to be setup per device.

AusweisApp2 from Aurora Store, try to read an ID card with the phone.

Steps to reproduce

How to test: Install AusweisApp2 from Aurora Store, try to read an ID card with the phone.

What is the current behavior?

The ID card recognition fails with the error message that NFC extended length is not supported.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Expected: NFC extended length is supported by the OS. The phone is capable of NFC EL with Samsung ROMs.
