Help!! Manual Flash works fine on NX100 but not on NX10

Just bought a flash from Yongnuo to supplement my Samsung SEF15A and SEF20A.

Yongnuo, a 3rd-party flash manufacturer has received favorable reviews from multiple reviewers. The model I bought, YN560-II, supports Manual, Slave and
Multiple modes. When set at 1/8 power level or below, it can continue to flash
up to eight times. It swivels and provides on-flash reflectors and diffuser.
Very cute. None of the Samsung's matches that. It only costs $72 on Amazon.

The flash is directly attached to the NX100 hotshoe and works as advertised.
However, on NX10, the moment the flash is powered on, the camera automatically
goes into the No-Flash mode, on screen and in the 'Flash' menu.

The funny thing is that my NX10 does work fine manually with other flash, i.e.
Kodak P20. The only difference I can find is that the voltages on the two
flashes are different: 5.5V for Kodak but 4.5V for Yongnuo. Could that be it?

Any helps are welcome.

Firmware levels on my NX100 and NX10 are 1.10 and 1.30, respectively.
