    S5 won't connect to laptop:(

    I have two S5 (G900F) phones; A factory unlocked and an unlocked by O2. I can't get any PC or laptop to 'see' the factory unlocked model any more. The cable is a data cable, as the usual options work when plugging in the other phone. Not only does Windows fail to see it, but the phone also does...

    Can Smart Manager be disabled in MM?

    Wow. That makes for some seriously scary reading. Although pretty PC savvy, I'm not to hot with Android devices. Am I correct that the only way to 'completely' disable Smart Manager, is to root my phone?

    Eek! I had no idea about this issue. I have it on my S5 and use it often. Guess I'll stop.

    It's probably staring me in the face, but I can't see it in settings. I'm on very limited WiFi for a while and don't want apps downloading updates. Thanks

I allowed the update and it rebooted, but it still shows the same 6.0.1 Now though, some apps and widgets have simply vanished off the phone. These include the sms app being used and the default torch. Any idea what...

    Wireless Charging

    I should've been clearer. It's an after market wireless charger from Amazon. Works in one but not the other.

    Wireless Charging

    I have two almost identical S5 phones; both UK 900F models. One has been network unlocked by O2, the other is factory unlocked. Using the same equipment, only the factory unlocked phone will accept wireless Charging. The LED on the charging pad changes when placing the O2 phone on it, but...

    Closing Apps?

    Interesting reading thanks. It wasn't for battery but memory, but it seems the same applies.

    Closing Apps?

    Is there a way to fully close apps with a single click? It seems apps don't actually close when exiting, but just minimise.

    I've also had this issue after forgetting my ID. Samsung eventually sent me a link to update my details (via PC). I have seen a post on these forums, saying to make sure you remove both Samsung AND Google accounts b4 running a factory reset
