Least I'm not crazy. But yeah, so freaking weird. This Android world is a strange one, haha.

Thanks again all! I've come up with another question. I tried to use the heart sensor the other day out of boredom. It required an update to function. BUT, in order to get the update.. I had to go into security and allow unknown sources for it to update. I had to allow unknown sources to update...

Alright guys...back after multiple more days with a few questions. 1. Photos App or Gallery App? Whats the diff? Not a ton of info out there aside from rumors about the gallery app.. 2. Widgets for quickly enabling the hotspot feature available? About it! =) So far, zero issues. Rocking a...

Very interesting to hear. As I use my iPhone 5S as my main device.....all of this drama on features and what not is new to me, lol. I'm quite enjoying my S5 as a secondary device though, have had a lot of fun tinkering. I'm a big Google ecosystem user as well, so its got some nice perks for me.

Re: About had it with the S5 already Is there a list somewhere yet of bloat apps that are safe to turn off? Between AT&T and Samsung apps there is probably a good handful to nuke...

Strange. I'll try Samsung support in the morning perhaps. Least this isnt me just being an Android/Samsung/S Series newb.. :p

Simply, for those of you S5 owners...can you try to get voice wake up working in S-Voice? I cant seem to get it to function at all. I've tried it with the screen off or just idle on the home screen. However, when I say "Hi Galaxy" absolutely nothing happens. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the...

You guys are all so awesome! Thank you very much! :D I've only had one issue since getting this S5. That being, S Voice. It says you can say the wake command at anytime, even with the screen is off..and it'll wake up. Wont work for me. I've dumped the data/cache for S voice as well. I've tried...

Anti-Virus: Understood. Stay smart and no worries. As a tech guy myself, I wasn't sure how much of an issue this was. For idiots I'm sure this is a problem. I wont fuss with it then. Backup: Thinking about Android as a whole, different manufacturers and there given skins/add-on's.. I guess its...

Thanks for the welcome! Glad I finally have a good reason to join. Hmmmm I guess I'll tinker around with disabling a few. Also...since I'm new, what about backing up? Something that doesn't require root. I'm pretty aware that Google's is pretty useless. And also...anti-virus? A concept I'm not...

Is there a list out yet of whats SAFE to disable on the S5? I recall there being lists for the S4...but I'm sure the apps differ on the S5? I think I remember some people bricking due to disabling some specific apps or something.

First, sorry for this sort of post... I'm dreading multiple replies saying to search the forums, but I've done that and really haven't found the sort of info I'm looking for just yet. Moving on. I'm primarily an Apple guy and will remain such. However, circumstances has seen fit to add a second...
