    So my S5 just starting acting crappy...

    My list of installed apps is unimpressive. Myradar Nova prime Easy Uninstaller Drag racing Candy crush And maybe enough I'm forgetting to count on one hand but nothing out of the ordinary. If I do a factory reset will everything be erased and if so how do I back it up first? I see backup and...

    So my S5 just starting acting crappy...

    Long story short...are any Android devices good for longer than a week? So I've only had the phone for a few weeks and it's already acting very strange. I'll list the things it does below.

    Galaxy S5 And Lag... Does It Or Doesn't It???

    So I didn't knock on wood soon enough. My phone lags with incoming phone calls. It will begin a vibrating. Then ringing. And then the screen will turn on. Sometimes the screen won't turn on at all and I have to power button it to be able to answer. Damn it Posted via Android Central App

    Just got my S5

    Nice thank you for that reply. Also wanted to mention my S5 is currently using a Zegg HD screen protector and the Otterbox Symmetry case. Both are very nice and I'm pretty sure this phone is going to look in mint condition months from now.

    Galaxy S5 And Lag... Does It Or Doesn't It???

    Having come from the M7 this thing is lightning fast. I barely got it yesterday but I've already logged into all my stuff, added all my numbers manually to get to know the feel, done a bunch of stuff really and have yet to experience a single bad thing. I couldn't say the same for my M7 though...

    Galaxy S5 Cases. Best of the best!

    I just today started rocking the Otterbox Symmetry (for free) and the Zegg HD screen protector (25 bucks). The screen protector went on super wet with the applicator solution and its still settling so thats that. And I tried the case on prior and it fits super snug and certainly feels like it...
