    S5 to S8+ Transfer Strategies

    Will Smart Switch go so far as to remember my Home Screen widgets, icon/folder contents and placement?

    S5 to S8+ Transfer Strategies

    My 8+ is due to arrive tomorrow and I have never been through the process of moving data from one Samsung device to another. I am aware of Samsung Smart Switch, but in watching some videos on how it works, I'm becoming confused if I want to do a full port of all information or just selective...

    Lollipop 5.0 battery AT&T

    I just tried this and have yet to see if it really makes a difference, but I thought this post could be related. FYI, disabling the Unified Daemon will kill your AccuWeather temp reading on the lock screen (if you use that)...

    Lollipop 5.0 battery AT&T

    Following. Having the exact same issue. I've also noticed that since upgrading to Lollipop 5.0 on AT&T, it my phone is plugged in and charging and a notification pops up, the screen stays on indefinitely, even when locked, instead of turning off a few seconds after the notification.

    Home button on my S5 and Google Now

    Out of all the suggestions in this thread, this solution has hands down been the most effective. The worst that's happened is a few instances where I hit the home button and nothing happens, but 90% of the time it goes to the home screen within 2 seconds. It's still doesn't solve the issue but...

    Home button on my S5 and Google Now

    I was able to disable Google Now so that, however, the problem still persists even when trying all of the solutions in this thread. Now, a short click will often act like a long click (and I know this because you get the haptic feedback vibration), only now instead of going to Google Now it...

    The home button on my Samsung S5 often goes to google instead of the home screen

    A simple restart fixed this on my AT&T 4.4.4.

    Camera only. S5 VS Iphone6????

    There's no bias. I like my S5 over the iphone for many reasons, but the camera is not one of them. It is quite simply inferior. Just do a quick google search for s5 camera comparison to iphone and it'll back me up.

    Camera only. S5 VS Iphone6????

    Iphone wins in every category. Switching from iPhone to the S5, the camera is single biggest disappointment with the S5. It's slow (good luck taking quick pictures of your kids) and has trouble focusing. You'll hit the button to take a picture and nothing happens until the 3rd tap. I could...

    S5 Stock Camera App & Children = Many missed moments

    I've really enjoyed switching from iPhone to Android with the recent purchase of the S5, however, the one area the S5 fails repeatedly is with the stock camera app. Never have I endured a more sluggish camera interface on a smartphone. The reason I mention children in the title is because...

    Spell Check on stock Samsung keyboard

    I am finding the spell check on the stock Samsung keyboard to be pretty frustrating at times. Examples of what I mean.. Typing "anything" results in an autocorrect to "anyth ING" Typing "anjthing" results in one possible autocorrect suggestion of the same misspelled word "anjthing" It seems...

    Lock Screen App

    I've been really happy with Cover. It's simple and intuitive and works really well for still having a beta tag.

    Thank you! Such a simple solution so easily overlooked. :)

    Customizing Predictive Text options in the Samsung keyboard

    My predictive text dictionary seems to like to auto-correct my words to jibberish. My favorite I keep seeing is when I type "anything" it changes it to "anythING". I have to assume that I once wrote that incorrectly and it added it to the library and put it to the top of the queue. How can I...
