    I wouldn't say you're alone, but your post reads like you're lonely.

    How change the behavior of the Samsung Galaxy S5 when selecting "Favorites" in "Contacts".

    Re: How change the behavior of the Samsung Galaxy S5 when selecting "Favorites" in "Contacts". Within the phone app a list view is created below the grid of your favorites. That list consists of your most frequently called numbers. In that list you can also swipe left or right to call or text.

    Garbage battery life

    @OP Would you consider disabling background data? There is a thread or two on that topic here in AC. Seems to be a safe way to manage power. Settings/Power/Power Saving Mode

    Galaxy s5 instead of g3

    Hi Cam. First off, I'd like to say you are a lucky person to receive such a nice gift from your parents. If I were you I'd thank them twice. Once for buying you such a nice gift, and again for making the right decision on the phone itself. You won't be disappointed with the S5. The internet...

    Textra Users

    So just to be sure, you have your phone set to notify, and not silent? Just double checking...the Samsung is knee deep in settings, which causes me to overlook some basic things, or combination thereof, from time to time. Oh, one other thing. If my SD card holds the notify/alert sound files and...

    Isn't there a phone setting that will let you be interrupted, or not, during calls? Try there. I'd check for you but my phone is not with me at the moment.

    Galaxy S5 Water Resistant?! Maybe "in your dreams" but not mine ;)

    Re: Water slide while taking a video? You know, I'm going to say go for it. If you keep your arms high when you hit the pool in the end. Alternatively you could put your phone in a ziplock bag. I've taken a non waterproof video camera on water rides with no water damage.

    Kies 3, .sme file, How to view

    I'm just spit balling here but can you find the .sme file you wish to read [through your computer's directory] and right mouse click the file and choose "open with" Kies? That's what I was trying to suggest in my post. Good luck, that's all I can offer....

    Kies 3, .sme file, How to view

    It appears you can read the file in Kies. Have you tried a mouse contextual menu option to read or "open" in Kies? SME is a proprietary binary format used by Samsung Kies to save archives of short text (SMS) messages and memos to .sme files on a computer. Messages from an .sme archive can be...

    Did LG accidentally load 3.1 on this trash???

    In my experience a new unit is in a factory sealed box. The vendor will demonstrate that contents in the box are complete and the unit is not defective by unsealing the box in your presence and going through each accessory and turning the unit on. Vendor CYA. That's great if you buy that unit...

    My S5 came with a plastic protector for the back??

    It looks to me anyway, that is just a warning label to the end customer. I certainly don't have any barrier between the back of the phone and the phone chassis. Just snap on the back and you're good to go.

    S5 randomly vibrates

    It might be alerting you that it has reached 100% charged. I'm guessing that you have it in vibrate state at the time.
