After 4 1/2 days with the S5, I'm getting really close to returning it. Besides the fact that it tells me to check the battery cover seal every few minutes, and often the phone takes several seconds to wake up using the power button, now this:

You can check a box to tell it to never show the check case message again.

Mine doesn't instantly wake up by the button press, but the 1\2 second it takes isn't that big of a deal.

Re: About had it with the S5 already

Thanks for the replies. Any ideas on the "Music" and "Media" apps using my battery? I'm on AT&T, FYI.

Ya OP I think I have to agree with the other posters you might have a bad one. I haven't had those problems with mine.

Have you tried turning those apps off? I dont have any of these issues, but I turned them off and I'm on Verizon.

Thanks again. I'll try a factory reset tonight.

Anyone know what those 2 apps are? I can stop the music app, but not disable or remove it, and I can't even find the "media" thing...

I returned mine. It sucks. I'm back on my S4 and happy. I also can talk on the phone now and browse the web again.

When you turn it on. Of if you take the battery cover off and all. It says check the battery cover and the charging port to make sure they are closed so it will be water tight.
Got mine at 10:00 April the 11th. The phone gets great reception. Got rid of a lot of the apps that wants you to pay for them.
Still trying to learn the phone. But I get Txt messages, Emails. Phone calls.
Don't rightly know where voice mail is yet oh unless I call myself.
Not fixing to take it back.

Re: About had it with the S5 already

I'm right behind you. Now my gmail will not auto sync to save my life. I've tried EVERYTHING. Sometimes it works, but it takes like 15 mins to an hour. Every once in awhile it does it right away. Fail.
