    Garbage battery life

    For the last week or so, my battery life had been terrible. I was getting only 6-7 hours on a full charge. Today it's a lot better. I'm currently at 47% and I have 9 hours on battery and 1:30 screen time. The only change that I made was turning off auto-brightness and reducing the screen...

    using the Samsung wireless charger, how many hours does it take to charge the S5 from 10% to 100%?

    I haven't timed it, but mine takes quite some time. It usually takes at least five or six hours to charge completely.

    Which Lock Screen Do You Use?

    I use the stock screen because I use the finger scanner to unlock and I don't think other lockscreens can use it. I use NiLS for lockscreen notifications. It works perfectly for me.

    Galaxy S5: Camera/Gallery Issue - Grey box over photos

    I had this happen with a Lexar card. A few photos got grey boxes over them and then some completely disappeared. I returned the card and got a SanDisk one, so hopefully it's better.

    How do i get calendar notifications in the notification bar and /or the lock screen?

    It works for any app that shows notifications. I haven't been able to find one that lists all of your events for the day on the lock screen, unfortunately.

    Does Anybody Actually Use The Figerprint Security Feature?

    I use it, one handed, all the time. I have my right thumb in two of the spots and my left in the third along with a swipe of each index finger just in case. Obviously, with this set-up, it works better with my right thumb, but I use it every day with few issues.

    Who is still using their Galaxy S5 "naked" and why?

    I don't like cases, but I've dropped my phone a couple of times and got a few scratches on the faux "metal" part around the phone, so I think I'll need to get one now.
