Since you want to stick with your Otterbox, the only solution is something like this. It goes under your battery cover and doesn't add any thickness to the device. I do not know first hand how good or reliable those things work but, well, read the reviews. You can find cheaper versions of it...

Make sure that those other people don't put you on loudspeaker. Many people do that without asking permission and, because of the volume, you can hear yourself (echo). Your mother's medical alert system will probably cause a lot of interference. My friend's mother has one of those and, whenever...

Have you tried a different USB port on your PC? If you have multiple cables available, try a different USB cable as well.

Just tap on the hamburger menu (3 lines) at the top left and select ALBUM under SORT BY, you may have accidentally clicked on SORT BY TIME.

You won't be able to! Only the devices sold by T-Mobile directly have the wireless calling. It is an app that's built into T-Mobile phones and even if you could find the APK, it won't work on your device because it also requires a lot of preinstalled services that non-T-Mobile devices don't have.

No, you won't miss out on any awareness. The Samsung Calendar syncs with your Google account, so, it is virtually the same data. Whatever you enter in the Samsung Calendar will magically show up on your Google Calendar too. :)

When you long press a text message that contains a picture, you should get a "Forward" option. Just change the text, enter a recipient and you're good to go. 2nd option: Tap the picture to see it full screen. Once there, save it to your phone. Create a new text message and insert the picture.

Do you actually want help or only complain about your "inferior S5"? At this point, I am not so sure but here it comes anyway: Perform a hard reset on your S5 and see if that fixes it.

That link seems to be cookie based? It bounces me back to the Verizon Wireless main page.

You may want to call customer care. Tell them that you have issues. They probably will do all the phone testing and troubleshooting nonsense before they are even willing to connect you to a technician. However, I believe it has to do with your carrier rather than with the phone (if the settings...

Yeah, I know and I usually do sign out. It was just an example on why someone would want to clear the recent apps. Probably not the best example but, well, ... :)

That's true, however, I find it annoying too when my recent list gets bloated. Also, it is a security concern. For example, if I go to my bank (app), and I just push the home button on my phone, it keeps that screenshot of all my transactions and balance within the recent apps where everyone...

If the phone can't dial due SIM / network issues, yes.

It used to be until I dropped mine. ;)

Have you tried stopping by at one of your carrier's stores? Switch out the SIM card for a new one and see if that solves your problems. Could be that the SIM is either dirty or "kaputt". :)
