How do you take that screen print of the battery pane on the S5?

Welcome to AC
To take a screenshot, press home and power for a few seconds. You should see a white frame around the screen and then it will save to your gallery.

Nifty huh? I was on wifi calling and when I had my mom on speaker and went to play around in settings that just appeared.

Or you can swipe the outside edge of your hand across the screen and it'll take a screenshot. My wife loves that.

I think the battery is going to be excellent. I was a little concerned yesterday, but today it seems to be settling in very nicely with a big improvement. I'm going to do a good all day test tomorrow.

For those looking to improve what they have already, turn on ART in the Dev settings. You should see a nice boost in performance and battery life as a result.
