jerrymahne - I updated to Lollipop 9 days ago, and knock on wood - my S5 seems to have stabilized. I still have the smart network switch disabled, and I'm still running in Power Saving mode, but I was finally able to reactivate my screen lock, the device stays cool, and the battery life is less...

terryb99, Samsung helped me via Twitter, and I got rid of the hot battery and drain by disabling the Smart Network Switch in wifi. I also enabled Power Saving Mode, and I don't miss anything from that. Those 2 things brought my device back to a useful tool. I am still, however, frustrated by...
