The fingerprint scanner only works about half the time and the phone restarts frequently. Should I try to fix this (and how) or get a new phone, and if so, which one? I was thinking of getting something used on black market phone. I use Verizon

Thanks for the reply - I was having trouble logging in when I posted the question. I went through all the notification settings and can't find a clear reason it wouldn't be showing up on the AOD. They did on my V20, didn't have any issues with widgets, so it is something about work mode/profile...

Hey - my fix, denying the car access to my phone's contacts, worked about 90% of the time (only occasional disconnects, and if it happens more often restarting the phone fixes it). *Denying access to Messages did not have any effect on this problem for me* However, I finally heard back from...

Found what I think is a similar "solution." And by solution in quotes, I mean it mainly fixed the problem. Once the phone is paired to the car, you can go in Bluetooth and see two options. The first allows features of the phone (like calls) be to connected via bluetooth to the car, and the...

My GS5 never gave me trouble with Bluetooth. I use my fiancee's Bose speakers and I used to use my HimBox in my old car. However, my old car was totaled when it was crushed by a tree. I just bought a 2013 Honda Civic, and my Bluetooth keeps disconnecting and reconnect about every thirty...

Yeah, I'm having this same issue with my Galaxy S5 and 2013 Honda Civic. I cleared the cache partition, tried safe mode, deleted all downloaded apps... BLE Crash Resolve app didn't do anything either. My phone works fine with all other bluetooth devices I've tried including a Bose sound...

[I'm the OP - I just wasn't logged in] After posting this last night, I downloaded Llama. Among other automations, I set up some rules for Bluetooth: - Bluetooth turns on for at least one minute when the screen turns on. - Bluetooth turns off when disconnected for at least one minute. This...

Yeah, my GS5 is new (a few weeks old) as well. Sometime I just don't get a beep / vibration when texts come in, other times the texts are delayed for several hours and a bunch come in at the same time. However, SMS is working fine since last night when I switched back to the default app. Gotta...

Nice guitar! I play hollowbodies as well. Yes, I did check those settings and nothing could be causing this issue. I did switch from Hangout to the default Messages app, and thus far I've gotten all my SMS message promptly. So I'll cross my fingers and hope this app keeps working, and that the...

I'm not getting notifications of new texts and sometimes its taking hours for texts to show up. This never happened with the GS3 running Kitkat, and its not my service - I'm at the same home. I'm using Hangouts for SMS, and might try switching back to the default app. I checked all my settings...

Does the charger really matter as long as it can supply enough current? Isn't charging internally regulated by the GS5? I'm not sure if I am interpreting this info correctly, but my Anker PowerIQ Rapid Car Charger, HimBox charger that came with my bluetooth car kit and OEM Samsung wall charger...

Re: Help with cable for both charging (USB) and audio (3.5mm)! I'm in and out of my car on short drives - I know I won't use my phone for music if I have to plug in multiple cables. I bought the S5 after talking with a few Verizon reps and they suggested it because I listen to very particular...

Help with cable for both charging (USB) and audio (3.5mm)! I'm looking for a single cable for my car to both charge (via USB) and play audio (3.5mm) with my GS5. I've found cables that do this on Amazon, but all the reviews say they don't work! PS - I am using a Micro SD card

That was weird... It seems something called "home" just installed on my phone that includes a facebook "cover feed" and also allows for other social media stuff to show on your lock screen. I didn't ok the download or turn on "Home" in any settings. The weirdest part is that the...

What is "home" or "cover feed?" I was trying to remove all the damn Facebook birthday's from my Google Calendar on my Galaxy S3. When I finally managed to do that, I now have a new app called "cover feed" and something called "Home" displaying stuff from Facebook on my lock screen!!!! How do I...
