What app are you using to try and read NFC tags? Your post suggests you're using the Wallet app to attempt this but this is not a feature of that app, so clearing the cache etc won't have any effect on this.

Ah sorry for the missleading post. Im using nfc tools for the tags and nfc tron for a festival. both didnt work.
But the wallet with my CC and Debit works.
Welcome! 😁
What kind of NFC tags are you trying to read? I just tried the same "NFC Tools" app as you and without doing anything special it's able to read the tag in my travel pass just fine.
Hi, NTAG215, My NFC Kredit Card and Debit Card, the real one. not the one in the wallet :D. And the Festival cashless chip.
All of them are working with my old Phone.
Also trier it without the case.
If you go to "Settings -> Connected Devices -> Connection Preferences", do you see NFC set to "on" there?
yes, its activated :-)
Is "Require device unlock for NFC" enabled? Try disabling it and see whether it works. If it's still not working, it won't hurt to also try asking in the official Google Pixel forums under the category "Connectivity, Network, Bluetooth". At least IMO right now we can rule out something being wrong with your hardware since NFC through the Google Wallet app works.
My phone is a Pixel 7a (same chip and connectivity as your 7 Pro) and the NFC Tools app is able to read my keys, credit cards, ID card and travel pass, so I highly doubt it's something with the app either.
it was the required to unlock option. After 5 minute it worked flawless.
Thank you so much!
