Week old S5 on Verizon. Works ok, with a couple exceptions. I've found workaround for most of the things I didn't like, but there are a couple.......
1. My wife is using Easy mode on hers because on the "normal" S5, the icons are OK, but the font on the icons is miniscule. HOW do I increase the font size on the icons - NOT the system font or whatever, the font that's under each icon? If necessary the icon could get bigger, but the font needs to be larger for her.
2. Vibration. Or rather non. Wife is coming from a Blackberry, which vibrated like crazy. At work she HAS to keep the phone on vibrate. No ringing, no beeping, no noisy notifications... She can't feel this thing vibrate. In the case, nope. In her pocket, nope. On the table in front of her, nope........ It DOES vibrate, but is there some set of settings we SHOULD be using? She has "Sound mode" set to Vibrate. "Vibration Intensity" is turned all the way up for everything. I can't ever tell when it's vibrating either, but I have sounds on and everything turned all the way up... It's not great, but I can usually hear it. So, is there some combination of settings that'll provide significantly more vibration than we're currently getting?
3. Nova Launcher. I thought it might be possible to do more customization in Nova rather then the default launcher. Installed fine, but when I told it to import from another launcher, and selected Touchwiz, I lost almost ALL my home page icons. All that's left is settings, and apps on the bottom line. Everything else is gone. I also had groups to organize my apps, and all the groups are gone, as are all the apps I turned off, so I'm back to seeing 5 pages of apps... Is this the way Nova works - gets rid of all the home page stuff and restores all the pages of apps, or is there something I need to do differently?
