    touchwiz and lollipop

    Yeah I tried that, didn't work. Then I did a full factory reset after backing everything up. Phone worked fine for a bit and I got everything almost back to where I wanted it, and then the same problem started again. I can't drag the messages app (or any others) onto the home screen, or into the...

    touchwiz and lollipop

    I just got the lollipop update (UK Vodafone version) and I'm having a few issues with touch wiz. Everything is laggy and slow. It removed some of my app icons from the home screen which happens sometimes however I can't put them back now - dragging the app icon from the apps page results in a...

    S Health update

    Does anyone else have a problem with S Health not working on the S5 once it needs updating? Twice in the last few weeks I noticed it wasn't tracking my steps, clicking on the app made it go to the Samsung app store to update. No other app I have works like this, just stopping completely until it...

    Galaxy S5: What happened to "hands free" mode?

    I managed to set this up, but then went and unticked every option in an attempt to get the phone to stop reading out callers names even when not in hands free mode. But now when I try to turn hands free mode on it says I have to enable at least one option first, takes me to the settings page...

    Incoming Call From --Turn it off?

    Unchecking all the 'read notifications aloud' worked but now it won't read out callers if I turn hands free mode on. I can either have it read them out all the time, or never. What's the point of a hands free mode then?!

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

    I'm happy with the battery life so far. 42% remaining after being used most of the day, on 4G for most of it but turned wifi on in the evening to stream some stuff to the TV via chromecast. I made a few phonecalls, used Chrome for quite a bit, downloaded some songs to spotify, took a few photos...

    How to disable Caller ID voice announcement on S5?

    Re: Phone speaking name of caller I don't have bluetooth in my car, I never use bluetooth on my phone. What I do is use an NFC tag to toggle hands-free mode on and off when I get into the car and it worked perfectly on my S3. I haven't tried it yet with my S5, haven't turned hands-free on yet...

    Charging S5 with micro USB (not micro USB3) charger from S4

    So I rang Vodafone who said it was a Samsung issue, then rang Samsung who said it was a Vodafone issue :/ anyway Samsung have agreed to look into it but I don't hold out much hope of getting the right cable. I found this on the Guardian review of the S5 It's really strange. But I guess if...

    The Free Stuff from Samsung

    Interesting, thanks. So if I signed in with a different dropbox account I might get 50GB, I might try it and see.

    Charging S5 with micro USB (not micro USB3) charger from S4

    I will give them a ring, thanks. Really weird that they'd put in an old cable though.

    Charging S5 with micro USB (not micro USB3) charger from S4

    Well obviously I've only been using a cable which goes into the right half of the port since I got the phone on Friday, as that's all I have! It charges the phone fine, no issues so far, except wondering why my cable didn't have 2 parts.

    Charging S5 with micro USB (not micro USB3) charger from S4

    Yeah mine is not like that! I wonder why. I'm in the UK and got the phone through Vodafone. Anyone else not have this cable included?

    The Free Stuff from Samsung

    Really? I got the 48GB with my S3 but it hasn't updated when I logged in to Dropbox from my S5. I want 2 years more storage! Is there any way to get it?

    Charging S5 with micro USB (not micro USB3) charger from S4

    my S5 charger looks exactly the same as my S3 one, it only fits in the right hand side of the port. Should it be different? There was only one cable in the box.

    Which Spigen Case?

    I got the top one (Spigen Ultra Fit) in Electric Blue for my white S5. It's ok, it has a few tiny defects in the case but it fits the phone really well. I just got it as a cheap case to protect my phone while I wait for a case I really want to be released. It does add a bit too much bulk for me...
