Yeah, I "unlocked" it even before plugging in. By "unlock", are you referring to the fingerswipe pattern? That's how I set my phone up. Thanks,

Yes, Windows 10, and just upgraded the phone to Marshmallow. Hmm, I didn't know that was an issue, will google for more info. Thanks,

Hi, Is that normal? I'd think that Google can just disable the camera when battery is low, instead of forcibly shutting down the phone. Just wondering if anyone else encounters this problem. Thanks!

My carrier is Tmobile. I'd like to block a few numbers that keep calling me (Sirus XM, insurance sales,...). Thanks,

Mine takes at least 1 minute, probably closer to 1.5 minutes. Is it normal? How long does yours take? Thanks,

Thanks hallux! I don't know why the heck I walked into that "authorized reseller" store. I've always gotten my phones online directly from the carrier, and was ignorant of this other way of getting a new phone.

Now IF I had ordered the phones online at the carrier's website, thereby bypassing a brick and mortar store, would I still have had this problem? Thanks,

Thank you. There probably is something in the contract to that effect. I, and probably most people, didn't spend the time to go over every word. Those contracts are loooong and the prints really small. Just my being ignorant, I thought that only the ETFs were what I had to worry about. Chalk it...

How about this one additional piece of information: One of the phone was a Galaxy S5, at the time, Samsung had a promotion going, which gave me a tablet for free if I got the phone. Now the store wants me to pay for the tablet too. I don't think that's right. Do you?

So I cancelled service with my former carrier, got a final bill with ETFs, all's cool. I paid them off. Then I got another bill from the local store, they want me to pay for the phones. I thought, maybe wrongly (?), that I only owe the carrier company for phones AND services AND ETFs. Is the...

The culprit is the My Tmobile app. Happened to me several times, each time I uninstalled the app, the problem goes away. I kept reinstalling it, hoping the later version would be free from this issue. But as of today, it still is. As soon as I installed it, a few minutes later, the phone becomes...

Thank you for that info!!

My wife recently switched to another carrier, and still has the S5. She wants me to sell it for her on eBay. I need to know if it's unlocked so I can describe it correctly in the sale ad. Thanks,

Do you have the latest update? My phone was draining its battery pretty quickly too (not as drastic as yours, though). After the update, I still have plenty left when I go to sleep.

I'm aware of the function that is available on the phone: Settings > Services > Accessibility > Talkback. However, by enabling this, everything I do on the phone is announced out loud. For example, I tap the Home icon the phone announces "Home Icon", tap the Gmail icon I hear "Gmail",.... I...

Got my update yesterday morning. I don't notice any difference, was really hoping to get calling over wifi.:mad: My friend's Galaxy S5 has had it since she got the phone. We're both on Tmobile.

I can't wait for WiFi calling. I'm with Tmobile.

Rukbat, Thanks for the explanation. However, I've been night charging the phone for 2 months with a normal charger (from my Note 2). THe phone has always gotten to 100% by the time I wake up, I usually go to bed around 11 PM, up at 6 AM. The fast charger I only use occasionally during the day...

You might have hit on something there! I do notice that the phone feels warmer than before. I'm gonna remove the case for now. Will report back. Thanks,

Last night was the first time it happened, plugged in to a normal charger (not the fast charger that came with the phone, I leave that fast charger downstairs in my kitchen for quick charging as needed). Woke up this morning, saw only 57%. Got to work, 47%, plugged into my PC usb port, now about...
