    Galaxy S5: Is any replacement battery better than the original?

    Re: Is any replacement battery better than the original? Hmm did all that. I made a Samsung account when I set the phone up but no email with the voucher code. Perhaps its only in America or something. I am in the UK

    USB 3.0 Charging question

    Is this not just the power you can get from a USB2 port on a computer though. 2.5Watt/5V = 0.5 Amp which is the 500ma that USB can provide on a PC. However most phone chargers charge at 1amp or more via a usb2 port on the phone. Given that Tablets usually have a 2.1amp charger and they charge on...

    Galaxy S5: Is any replacement battery better than the original?

    Re: Is any replacement battery better than the original? I have tried to register my S5 by signing into my Samsung account and then going to register your product but in the dropdown for product name I can not find the S5 by name or model number. How did you register yours?

    Charger Cover Broke

    Its frustrating that it is happening to a lot of users and Samsung have emailed me back insisting that it is damage caused by the user since all devices are thoroughly tested. Shame there is not a Samsung store near here because I would go in store and mess with one until it broke. Given these...

    Adjusting volume while locked, great feature

    Welcome to Android. An operating system that lets you do as you choose instead of being told what to do. An operating system with flexibility and choice. You will also find that if the stock android OS does not do something you would like it to there is probably a way to make it work how you...

    Fragile Charging Port Cover

    Glad to hear they swapped it for you. There is already a thread here http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5/380144-charger-cover-broke-4.html where lots of people have had the same problem including myself. I might take it back to my network provider and see what they say. I have...

    Very slow charging

    Im fairly sure mine charges far faster than that. Are you using the original Samsung 2amp charger and original Samsung charging cable? I know some cheap cables can only manage a lower current than what the charger is supplying. Also have you tried charging it with the phone turned off to see...

    Galaxy S5: Is any replacement battery better than the original?

    Re: Is any replacement battery better than the original? Im positive that if there was a high capacity battery available then Samsung would have put it into the S5. Assuming the batteries on Ebay are correct and they are a high mAh than the genuine Samsung battery then they will likely not be...

    Charger Cover Broke

    WOW, Just wow. Samsung better be careful, if they carry on with this whole making it easily break and charging stupidly excessive repair prices then I might just start calling them Apple.

    Charger Cover Broke

    If you don't mind me asking did you pay for your phone directly from Samsung or is it on contract with a network. I know usually a faulty item would go back to the Point of Sale which is my network provider. I might give them a call and see if they will accept it and get it fixed for me.
