Android Pay NFC - Please present one card only - Samsung Galaxy S5 with wireless charging

I recently got Android Pay for on my S5 Galaxy and have had a lot of problems trying to make payments with it.

It had only just rolled out int he UK, and I thought that the problem was that it was just to new however after a while I decided that something more must be going on as the payments kept failing witht he same rror:

"Please present one card only"

After thinking it over, I realised that I had custom fitted a wireless charger to the inside of my S5 and decided to remove it and try again.

And that fixed it - the wireless charging unit in the phone must have been interfering with the NFC chip and making the terminal unable to read it

I hope it helps someone :)
