    Swype

    Just got the S5 yesterday and for the life of me I can't find Swype. Did they remove it? The cheap knockoff they are using is driving me nuts. If the generic version is all that we have, how do we turn on spell check, and how can we add custom words to it? Thanks

    I took it to a repair center, and they said the phone is bricked. I did nothing to the phone. I did notice that it was getting slow the past few weeks, bug I figured that was nothing to worry about. The last app I installed was AV software (Trend Micro). Could one of my apps bricked the...

    Phone dead?

    Past few days I've noticed my phone getting slower. Nothing too bad, but it was noticeable. Few days ago phone shut down on itself. After a few minutes I was able to power it back on. I plugged it in. Today my phone had a full charge and was sitting on my desk. Went to pick it up and it...
