    New Verizon S5 update with bluetooth fix

    Seems like this update fixed my text messaging notification on my 2013 Lexus GS350. Always got notifications on my S3, but not on the S5. While driving today I was surprised that the car said I had an incoming text message!!!!

    Thinking of switching to Sprint

    Had sprint for 20+ years. Worst service, even though I had unlimited data. But, the battery was always draining because I could never even get 3g, let alone 4g service. Where ever I went, never had good signal. But, friends on Verizon always had 4g. So what's the point of having unlimited...

    Galaxy S5 Battery Drain

    This AM, on my and my wife's phone the Google Play services has drained our batteries! Battery went down about 15% overnight, usually it is only 5%. I force stopped the app and rebooted both phones. Obviously, the new version of Google Play has some major problems.

    Samsung Galaxy S5 bluetooth issue

    For what it is worth: I also have the 2013 GS and have had no problems connecting and maintaining the blue tooth connection. My wife has the 2012 Lexus CT and also has had no problems using her S5.

    Galaxy S5: How's everyone's battery life so far?

    I was having serious battery drain from the android system and mostly from Google+. Also noticed I could not save any Apps to my SD card. Remembered a thread from my S3 days about serious drains caused by a faulty SD card. I turned off Google+ and that helped a lot. Backed up and...

    Battery takes a dive and dies over night

    I have been having the same issue recently. It seems to be Google+. Every time in turn on location services, this kicks in and drains my battery something like 10% per hour. I uninstalled the app, but it keeps asking me to update it in Google Play store. Anyone know how to turn this darn...

    Left Sprint and joined At&t

    Yea, after 20 plus years with Sprint, and many promises of "new" networks and increased speeds, I too left them. I went with Verizon. I needed an Airave to even get service in my own house. Whenever we traveled my friends on Verizon always had 4g, where I could not even get 3G! My battery...
