Re: About had it with the S5 already
Um, how?
Turn OFF Media Player and Music Player. Only turn them on when needed.

Also, question:
As soon as I bought the S5 (literally at the AT&T store), it INSTANTLY started automatically downloading and installing all of the apps that I had installed on my S2 Skyrocket. Is there a way that I can stop that from happening, once I do a factory reset? I want to install things manually, not automatically.
Yes, instead of clicking next next next next next, read what you're nexting, lol
During setup, it will ask you if you want to restore all your apps, by default, it's checked. UNcheck it.
Thanks for the replies. Any ideas on the "Music" and "Media" apps using my battery? I'm on AT&T, FYI.
Just copy all your SD content into your PC, then format your SD card using the Format card option on the Storage menu on the phone, then copy back all your files. It should help with battery issues and maybe some lags while accessing SD contents.
your phone is not a lemon. Basically the Android OS is doing a scan of your SD card, that will take a day or a few days depending on card/files etc.. This happens when you start with a fresh OS and a used SD card.
That's not what I did. There was no option that I saw in the setup that asked me about restoring apps. Boy, these forums are really full of "helpful experts".
Thought id put my two cents in to help a fellow forum user and so many detailed and helpful suggestions have already been posted. But i guess free advice from people taking to time to help out isn't good enough for them. Good luck to you, seriously.

Reformat your card to NTFS because its resistant to getting corrupted if the write is interrupted. FAT would need to rebuild the file table and is limited to 4gb size files. If you want to carry bigger files (HD movies), you won't be able to with FAT. NTFS has much better compatibility with your PC as well.
A DAY OR A FEW DAYS for about 13 GB of music!!!????
That is ABSURD.
The card is a 32 GB Sandisk Ultra HC1. Works great in everything I've tried it in. In this phone, it keeps unmounting and re-mounting, as well.
I'm extremely frustrated at this point..

turn off SAMSUNG LINK
The first thing I same when I got this phone was go into applications and turn off a TON of ****.
Do you listen to music on your S5?
