I have had my Galaxy S5 Active now for about 3 months. In that time I have reset it to factory defaults 4 times and it screws up differently every time. Here are just a few of the issues I've had to deal with on this brick.
1) Speech to text doubles up on a text. Try saying "Hello, how are you" and you get "Hello, how are you.Hello how are you".
2) Dictation doesn't work at all, ie. parenthesis, quote, new line, carriage return. It's the saddest excuse for speech to text I've EVER seen.
3) I can send a text to my girlfriend and then 5 minutes later it says the number isn't valid. The reason is because the phone has added a +11 to the beginning of the number. Nothing was changed, phone wasn't restarted or anything.
4) I have to add my profile to the phone every 10 minutes. It will be there, then all of a sudden it's gone and won't come back.
5) Blue tooth sound quality is horrendous. Trying to play pandora through my bluetooth speakers and it sounds as if it's underwater.
6) and we won't even go into all the junk apps and advertisements loaded on the phone from the factory. If I want advertisement I'll watch TV but I don't want it on my device that I paid $200.00 for!!
These are just a few of the problems I've had with this useless excuse for a phone. I'm tired of dealing with having to reset it and then reload all of my regular apps. AT&T won't release Lollipop for some undisclosed reason and at this point in time I could care less!!! I just want a D$#M phone that works CONSISTANTLY!!!!!
