The S5 is water resistant. You shouldn't be having those problems. And 36 days for a replacement? That is ridiculous.

Please proof read it is hard to understand.

If you get water on the screen, sometimes your phone think you want to pen something hard to explain.

Like when I put my s5 under water with the screen turned on and unlocked, usually opens a couple things

Sad to hear, contact Samsung and try and get a replacement because as @neonworm said, you shouldn't be having these problems.

Yes Neonworm iam from the netherlands but live in turkey and it take that long to get a new phone terrible!! and the service was sooo bad not normal and when you know that i paid 880 euro for it here because we dont have it together with a abb. or other deal than the service sucks !
Thanks ab so its just not only me my first phone get stuck crazy make own words and blocked.. but my new phone when i have a wet finger and i want to call or make a sms its not working.. in my eyes thats not good of course the phone is sensible but you need to be able to call somebody when there is some water on it... with my its not working.. same what you write when you keep it under water.. but this i dont do just a drop crap! i get headache from it.. thanks for the answers

Let me make sure I understand. When you get drops of water on the screen, it doesn't work properly? It's my understanding that that's normal. Touchscreens don't respond normally when they're wet, even on the water-resistant S5. As long as it starts working again when it dries off, there's nothing wrong with your phone.

Byron thanks this is allready my second phone tomorrow i will call them and look first i hope more people have a answer here because i can not believe that exact 2 phones make it with me... thats strange

with other words with a drop i can not use my phone because its still open things what i dont want or its just not giving any reaction..

joneb look this answer is something what i was looking forthanks but with my s3 i can phone or sms in the rain with drops on it or not. with my s5 i can sometimes not open my sms icon? its just not doing that.. and how people make than pictures in the water with this phone? my phone doesnt work properly with 1 drop, than i think i need to leave it like this..... thanks again.

Your phone is normal from what I can understand.

I work outside on heavy equipment on a spray truck.

My hands get wet from the spray gun because it leaks while in use.
If my fingers are wet and I try to use the phone, it does crazy things like opening up two apps at once.

As soon as I get the phone and my hands dry again, the phone is back to normal.

I guess the phone was always "normal", the wet skin gives a "much larger" area of contact and it responds like if you touched two apps at the same time with two fingers.

I think your phone is okay.

Drops of water will make your screen act up. Solution: wipe it off.
