2-Step Verification code not automatically detected on Android

I just got a new Samsung Galaxy S5 and had it activated on my carrier. I opened the Play Store and entered my gmail and password. Next it says: > 2-Step Verification > > Verifying your phone automatically via text message > > This may take a few minutes... > > Having trouble? Within seconds I received the 2-step verification SMS text message, but the app does not seem to be responding to it. A simple bar animation shows that it's still waiting. I tried following the "Having trouble?" link but the only option there is to resend the message. I've tried that a few times and received the verification code again, but it still would not continue. The 2-step verification process worked fine on my previous phone (S3), but I used to enter the code manually. The phone is running Android 5.0. This problem occurs whether I'm on WiFi or Network. Any advice would be much appreciated!
