Well finally gave in and upgraded to Lollipop, and this time it does feel like an upgrade. They seem to have fixed a lot of the lower level system bugs that stopped it being a useful operating system.

After hearing people say that Lollipop had stabilised I've finally upgraded, and was pleasantly suprissed, but I still have one problem I can't fix. Geo News! The nasty little thing is eating away at my battery, and it's not like we are ever going to have an earthquake in Birmingham! I've tried...

I just got given one as a wedding gift. It's cool, but it's got limitations [what do you expect for under 30 quid]. Two problems I have is that it doesn't launch the camera app, and that it doesn't seem to get email notifications...

Like I said u hope that this isn't out of context, but I'm now really glad I didn't wait for the S6. What a letdown. Love the technology, but the lack of a battery that can be changed, expandable memory, I don't like these trends. There all about building 8 obselesence. (Sorry about the...

Really sorry. Meant to post more detailed instructions on using Odin and finding the correct ROM for your handset, but I'm getting married I three weeks time and things keep piping up that I have to do. There's a lot of material online, but be weary of corrupted versions of Odin. I've had quite...

Try downloading the ROM from SamMobile, but you'll need to register to do it, and even then it might not let you access older ROMs. I downloaded the ROM by searching out the build number, then searching for a link to the SamMobile site for that ROM. Odin you need 3.09, but I can't remember where...

There should be an icon that looks like a crocodile. That's basically S5 for your kids! Not sure if the S5 uas got an easy mode in TouchWiz,but doubtless someone else will know ;-) Posted via the Android Central App

Sorry, forgot I was reading your post and have no idea how to delete one...

Hate LolliFlop. Updated and re flashed twice now, but I love the location safe unlocking mechanism. Does anyone know of anything that will do the same thing in KitKat? Posted via the Android Central App

This is barry1964, just using taptalk. Don't know why I didn't think of it before. Makes a lot more sense than hundreds of random apps everywhere :-)

Downgraded and stabilised, though to be frank I consider this a significant upgrade from that monstrosity. Do like the location based unlocking though. A little sad to see that go Barry Robinson back on 4.4.2 where an S5 belongs :-)

My lovely Galaxy S5 is back to being the nimble little beast it should, and I've given my girlfriend strict instructions that if I ever suggest upgrading to 5.0 to give me a good hard slap in the face to remind me what the experience was like last time :-) Have fun peeps; -)

You can re flash the phone using Odin, but research first and be sure of what your doing! Good luck and see you on the other side Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
