Has an update been pushed recently? I'm experiencing similar issues on my Galaxy 5s, US version, Verizon.

Update - I held my neo right where the NFC antenna is (search for "galaxy s5 nfc antenna location", you'll see right where it is; I also have the Samsung flip cover case installed), and it worked - Yubi Authenticator asked to use a service to open a URL (I chose Yubi Clip), then a site I'd set up to generate codes appeared on the list. I'd set up the code generation via the desktop app (I'm on Win8).

Another update -
- success in swiping the neo with Yubiauthenticator is intermittent after the first use of the day. Is there a cooldown timer?


I'm experiencing the same issue after purchasing a Yubikey Neo in Oct 2014. It has never worked successfully with my Samsung Galaxy 5. It will get recognised by NFC once and then NFC locks up every time and I have to turn NFC off and then back on to try again. Even that doesn't alway swork. Meanwhile I can use by NFC transport card just fine.

I lodged a support request (ticket 00009278) but never had a reply back. So I've had a $55 bad investment sitting under my monitor :( Meanwhile my non NFC yubikeys keep working flawlessly.

I'll drop support another message...



Dear phillcoxon,

what you state it is not correct. You received a reply Created By: Chris Halos (2015-01-24 20:46) with a warranty replacement coupon code and the offer to a full refund. Double check your e-mail and/or spam folder/filters.

Regarding the Yubikey NEO have you tested it with another enabled NFC smartphone ? Does the device works correctly ? it is likely that is the NFC reader hidden behind the battery and thick cover of your phone cause the problem.

Just a quick update to say that Yubico Support replied in record time. It turns out that they had replied to my original ticket request but I hadn't received the email for some reason.

Thanks Yubico!

I think this has to be the nfc stack. Samsung are known to be rubbish at software. There should be an alternative implementation from Google that can be installed?

I noticed the problem got worse after changing baseband in a rooting procedure.
