I liked the look of the Otterbox Defenders, but they were too bulky for my liking, so I went with a black Otterbox Commuter Series. I like the rubber around the power and volume buttons, it makes it a bit grippier there, but having a rubberised area further down the hard plastic sides of the...

I had the same problem when I first got my S5, it was in easy mode by default. I wanted to keep my phone in easy mode and get the cog wheel on the camera at the same time, to do that you go to settings >> easy mode >> untick camera then click done, now the settings cog wheel shows on the...

I'm now having further problems, I continued trying to download an app, and then an error message popped up in my notifications, clicking on it takes me back to the app on Play Store and a box opens saying: Since getting that error, I can't even get to the Play Store to open, all I get when I...

Hi AZgl1500, Thanks for that, updates are now unchecked :) I've noticed a problem with Play Store, I don't know if it's to do with me disabling something or not, but I had Play Store disabled and then I enabled it again today to look at the app you posted above, Play Store loads and works...

@ AZgl1500, thanks for the reply. You're not wrong, I have things on my laptop that haven't had an update in ages and I have Windows updates turned off, but I'm not used to phones, this is the first proper phone I've owned, I last had a basic €20 mobile phone back in 2010 and I haven't owned a...

Hi, I turned S5 on today and was greeted by a message saying it had downloaded a software for an update, and to click ok to install it, which I did. After installation, I opened Opera browser to go online, all of my bookmarks were still there, but all of the saved passwords for each bookmark...

I've just finished testing my battery for usage and charging time, the usage for depleting the battery was playing with the different camera and video modes, browsing the internet, watching live streaming tv, listenting to the radio, watching YouTube videos and general messing around with the...

I wish they were that cheap in Ireland, I paid ?629 (USD $870) for mine the other day from Three, ouch :(

@ keyzlife, Nice photo, that's probably as good as the photos my digital camera would take take, so it's pretty good for a phone camera. I took a few test photos the other day, they seemed to be pretty good, then the following day, I noticed I hadn't even taken off the bit of plastic covering...

@ keyzlife The camera problem is now fixed :) I looked on Google previously and didn't see anything related to my problem, I had another look today and spotted a post on another forum where someone had the same problem, they found the solution, which was to do with their phone being in easy...

@ keyzlife, Ok, hopefully it'll be something else other than the carrier I'm with that's causing my problem, as the extra things in the cog menu for the video and camera are what I wanted to use most on the phone, so I'm a bit annoyed that the option to use them isn't there. The only other...

@ keyzlife, Thanks, that's not something I'd be aware of about different variants by different carriers. I thought all phones are the same, how does a different carrier make a difference to what shows on any particular phone, I can't get my head round that one, because to my non techy mind...

Hi Xzibit3, You'll have to forgive me, I'm completely new to phones and I'm a technophobe with anything tech related like this. I've only owned a basic €20 mobile phone back before in 2010, and another one given to me back in 1997, so, as far as smart phones are concerned, I have no idea about...

Hi keyzlife, By carrier, I assume you mean my mobile providor? If so, it's Three here in Ireland.

Hi, First post and a first time smart phone user since buying my S5 a few days ago. I seem to have some things missing from the camera and video, in any reviews I've read or watched on YouTube, when it gets to talking about the camera, there's always a cog in the upper left hand corner of the...
