    Waze volume very low on Bluetooth speaker

    My Waze volume from my S5 to my Blue Ant speaker has recently become very low. Hardly audible with A/C blowing and radio at normal listening levels. It used to be extremely loud, to where I had to turn it down some. I have phone media volume maxed (after clicking OK to that annoying message...

    camera questions

    Turning off picture stabilization will definitely speed it up. I think mine is very fast compared to what I was used to with my S2. I also like being able to tap the screen on what i want to focus on. Try turning HDR on and off also. Posted via Android Central App

    Everyone can hear my phone conversations

    I don't know, it's super loud for me. My cubemate always gives me a hard time about it. He's an iPhone guy, so we like to rib eachother about our phones all the time. Posted via Android Central App

    Everyone can hear my phone conversations

    Yes, that would help with my privacy issue, but I'm not a fan of BT things strapped to my ear. I still find it strange to see people walking around with those things on, as if their phone is the most important part of their day. It sounds like hearing is the problem for you, which I completely...

    Everyone can hear my phone conversations

    Yea, that's exactly what I'm talking about. I've never heard the sound pouring out of a phone like it does with this S5. I'm still happy with everything else, but just have to be conscious of people around me listening Posted via Android Central App

    Everyone can hear my phone conversations

    Anybody else have this problem? People always ask me if I have my speakerphone on. The phone up to my ear leaks the conversation really loudly to others and I don't have it turned up too loud. I have to take it down to the lowest level and my face/ear still doesn't block it completely Posted...

    Picture through scope

    Any tips on taking a picture with the S5 down a zoomed-in rifle scope? Any particular setting, distance, focus, etc? I know I've seen some results of other phones, but not sure how they got it to turn out so well. Was hard to do when I tried Posted via Android Central App

    S5 GPS on?

    Sorry, I think I figured it out. Have to go to mode setting within the location settings. I had an S2 before this, so it's probably more of an android version change than an s5 thing. Posted via Android Central App

    S5 GPS on?

    A few of my apps ask me to enable GPS, but my "location" is already on. Isn't location the GPS on these phones? I can't get past that screen on those particular apps. One of them is the VZ navigator. WTF isn't there a real GPS on/off switch on these phones? Posted via Android Central App
