I guess this is what I will need to do. My disappointment with my S5 grows, and is pushing me back to iPhone-Land.

Did you even read my original post? I have uninstalled apps, and moved things to an SD card, and I am still having this issue. As one of the commentors noted, AT&T adds "bloatware" to the phone in an update. I want to get rid of the pre-installed apps on the phone that I never use. I have...

I am about to this point - erasing everything and starting over. However, in doing so, when I re-load all the apps... do I risk being back at the exact same place I currently am with storage? Or will I cut out the crap and have more space? Thank you for confirming my thoughts about "bloatware."

No offense, but that tells me nothing. I already know how to check the storage. I'm trying to get rid of the stuff that I do not use on the phone.

I own a Samsung S5. I continue my near 18 months of frustration with the thing. I was recently alerted that I need to update some apps... but found that I do not have enough space to do so. I have transferred all my photos and videos to a Micro SD card, and also moved a few of the larger...

Well, it may have been a combination of things... and although better, not perfect. * Using the Micro-SD cable to charge the phone has been very helpful. I have been traveling, and not found someone to check the port for dirt/dust/etc. Hope to do that soon. * With the Micro SD card, I am now...

Well, I may have discovered something. We all know the standard Samsung S5 cord: I have tried my different cords, different outlets, etc., and my S5 has been tremendously slow to charge (as in, going from 15-40% over seven hours). This afternoon I tried a different cord - one that only...

Downloaded GSAM... no real details yet. It did not find any apps "that have consumed the specified resource during the last device power cycle." I have tried two different power cords (one I keep at home and one in my Jeep). Neither one show a difference in charging speed. Factory reset...

I have done all of this - rebooted, wiped files, etc. I downloaded an Avast app, which found that a second browser I had was supposedly a problem. I removed it, and again rebooted, wiped, etc. My phone was plugged in last night for seven hours. It barely reached a 40% charge. As I was...

This worked well for me. I may need to do a factory reset on my S5, and I have my photos, videos and contacts backed up on the SD card. Much appreciated for the tutorial!

Following, because I have similar issues. I downloaded the SD Insight, and it tells me I have a Samsung 32 GB SD Card. I should be okay... so how do transfer to the SD card?

I have an S5, ~14 months old. In the last 24 hours I have seen the battery drop rapidly - to the point that even while using the phone plugged into a charger, the battery power declines. I have not downloaded any new apps recently, except DU Speed Booster. The reviews for it were positive...

Mine started doing the same thing yesterday (2/20/16). I could not understand the battery drain. I plugged my phone in before bed (as I always do), and it was at ~15% charge. Seven hours later, it wasn't even at 80% - on the same cord/outlet/etc. that I have used for months. I purchased a...

"Threats" and Facebook app disappearing from folder - S5 I have a Samsung S5, ~14 months old. In the last couple days, I have received a couple pop-up notices of "threats" to my phone. I can click Cancel or Okay - when I click Okay, nothing comes up. However, my background has gone back...

I am still experiencing this issue. I have tried a few of the solutions suggested in this thread, but nothing has made a permanent fix. I have been to my local AT&T store three times - and each person (all different) does a "soft reset" (removes battery, waits 30 seconds, then powers back up)...
