Sorta same problem here on my S5. Except I can hear them fine, on every first call though, they can't hear me. Driving me nutz, can't do another replacement as I'm rooted now. First one was replaced same issue.

Got a Chromecast, searched but maybe I'm not searching the right terms. Haven't set it up yet but was wondering say if I hang out at my neighbors, can I bring it with me and stream from my house.... or does it not work the way I'm thinking lol? I know I can at my house obviously in or out, but...

Had mine since launch day, no issues. No lag etc. Some may have a few issues, it happens and not specific to phone especially, hell I've had more issues with iPhones than I ever had with Android devices. All your friends could have the nicest most perfect car, then you buy one and its a lemon...

Uhhh all phones charge slow on USB with a laptop/computer. It'll be faster if you have a usb 3.0 port. Wall charger is going to be a lot faster, for obvious reason, mines about 80-90 minutes from dead to 100% which is ridiculously fast charging for a battery this size.

Well there's no root anyway right now for AT&T or Verizon, can only disable bloat in settings. And with Knox there's really nothing you can do, root trips Knox = warranty gone. This isn't like the old days where you could "triangle away" and take your phone in for service.

If someone is getting bad life and bad idle drain, either a) rogue app, b) something wrong with system and needs to be hard reset, c) faulty parts. As for mine, battery life is beyond incredible, I'm a heavy user with work and have gone 4+ hours on screen time, lots of call/emails/text, synching...

No lag on my S5, still have no clue what people are talking about there, my home button and multi etc work basically instant and none of this 2 second lag some say. Then others say their Note 3 is fine and no lag but the S5 is laggy, funny, my neighbor has a Note 3 and mines just as responsive...

That one looks like it'd be too tight/a pain to use how I want as have to squeeze through that hole in the back and the headphones go through the top, would have to keep taking them out of the jack, remove the phone, squeeze phone back, and put headphones back in. Guessing nobody makes what I...

Rick, my names not Rick lol? Just being sarcastic with the "Steve Jobs would never allow this", he/Apple obviously did as I have a 4S/5/5S to prove it and plenty of complaints online as well lol. I'm not sure what vibrate issue you keep mentioning as my phone vibrates fine whether a...

Must be a Sprint thing as doesn't happen on the AT&T variant nor seen anyone else say that.

You still don't get it, all the new phones have this rattle. I still have a iPhone 4S, 5, and 5S... guess what, have a similar rattle when you tap towards the top and it's known on the iPhones, google or check macrumors or others forums for yourself, and like all the other phones it stops the...

Definitley the fastest charging phone I've ever used, full charge from 0 to 100% in somewhere around 70-80 minutes, my S2 used to take like 3+ hours with half the battery size, my iPhone 5S and 5 are way slower as well.

Re: Is any replacement battery better than the original? All those knockoff batteries on Ebay with higher mah etc, are bunk. I tried on my S2 and it was no different then the stock battery even though rated higher, same for others on other phones. Someone on XDA even used a knockof 4k+ mah...

Thats not bad, pretty close, still has a flap up ton but I could just cut that lol, better than other bands I've seen where the phone is like locked down in side them lol.

Been using Youmail for last couple years.
