    The Official: I love my Galaxy S5 thread

    Way late, I know. But I do love this device! I get bored and switch phones often, in 4-ish years I've had Moto X2, HTC one m8, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, galaxy s3 and galaxy s5. (Not exactly in that order) I see value in both platforms. But my all time favorite was GS3 until I...

    Multiple issues with GS5 - battery LED dupes

    Today after fully charging in the am, and moderate use, I still have about 74% battery. I'm thinking the factory reset that I did the other day helped that? I'm also coming from an iPhone 5s, which indubitably has better battery life. I guess I needed to just get used to the differences between...

    Multiple issues with GS5 - battery LED dupes

    Thanks for your response. My friend is the type to always have her phone plugged in. I'll take your advice and stop killing processes unless absolutely necessary. Yes, the LED is turned on. All notifications are allowed on lock screen. Next charge up I'll do as you mentioned and post some...

    Multiple issues with GS5 - battery LED dupes

    Hi everyone. I bought the galaxy S5 off of a friend of mine, she's had it for less than a year. Of course we did a factory reset, and I went and got my own Sim card from Verizon. I'm on L 5.0. *Random text messages from an assortment of senders are occasionally coming in duplicate. *The LED...

    Had to fire Sprint!

    I was with sprint for 6 years, their coverage was shoddy in NW Florida where I live. At times I had no kind of signal period. Switching to Verizon fixed that problem real quick. And personally I've liked the Verizon line up better than Sprint's for the last 5+ years.

    Another thread.. Security.

    You want answers and help from folks? Perhaps a better way to go about it would be to not be a D. How about you skip using the pass code, or stop passing out drunk.

    Launchers

    ADW and Nova have always been my go-to launchers for Andoid. I use the paid versions rather than the free versions.

    "Screen" Protector For Back Of Phone

    I have just received and installed my Extremeguard full body kit. Installation was very easy and maybe took me about 10 minutes for both the front and the back. I watched a tutorial video on YouTube beforehand. The screen protector and back protector are still curing, But so far it looks really...

    iPhone User, Thinking of crossing over

    I have owned iPhones and absolutely prefer the Android OS, especially on a phone. I recommend giving it a go. I currently own an M8, and while it's great Android device, the build quality is inconsistent and I can't say if it's the best Android option out there. HTC Sense 6 is great, thought...

    HTC One (M8): screen won't turn back on

    Re: HTC One M8 screen won't turn back on Yesterday and today I noticed that when waking my phone, the lock screen has been replaced by what you'd see if you were using the dot case. The large time display and weather icon rather than the typical lock screen. I don't use the dot case. I know...

    Anybody using his/her M8 as the only camera?

    No way. I'm glad everyone else is having a great time with the M8 camera. Personally, it's not good enough for more than casual photos, for myself and my purposes. Even then, I usually grab the iPhone 5S. I love being back in Android, and am overall enjoying the M8, but I feel that the camera is...

    Keyboard Colour

    Hmmm. I've changed the device theme and messaging theme, yet my keyboard remains black.

    Where is the weather app?

    You are mistaken. You absolutely can access the weather app from the lockscreen widget, at least on VZW. You just have to long press and then tap the weather icon. HTC recommended the F/R, and since I've only had the device a week and had only put 4 apps on it, it wasn't the end of the world...

    Where is the weather app?

    Thanks. I sought help from HTC. Yes, there is a weather app that is separate from the widget, but can only be accessed via the widget. Which is not working for me. Apparently, according to HTC, I have a wonky device. They recommended visiting and Verizon store and/or factory reset :( Add: Doing...
