All examples show "PCD_Authenticate() failed: Timeout in communication"

Just grabbed out my old RFID-RC522 boards and hooked one up to a Arduino Nano (also tried Uno).

With every example I get communication problems, meaning timeouts.
Sometimes the serial output doesn't stop for several seconds even if I remove the newly unpacked MiFare card.

With the smaller blue, round tags (also fresh unpacked) I get:

For me this is still the issue, someone provide a fix!
