Re: AT&T S5 just delivered!

OP, how do you like the white? Still not sure which color to get, always had black phones and was thinking of going white this time around.

To bad AT&T failed to put the download booster in their S5's lol #FAIL

I just don't get the big want for download booster. Seems like a great way to go over your monthly allowance, unless you are still grandfather ed into the unlimited

I'm not sure it's a huge want, as you say, but it's annoying when carriers gimp things and eliminate choice. For instance, the existence of the DL Booster didn't mean that you HAD to use it but if this is intentional, then AT&T users just don't get the choice. Thankfully, on Sprint, I get it and I don't have to worry about limits. True, I often get no signal but that's another story!

Congrats on your new best friend! My upgrade is in November. Not sure if I'm going for A Note or something smaller like my s4. We will see.

Hey OP, how is the speaker volume/quality on the S5? The speaker looks a lot smaller than on the S4.

Oh I agree that carriers shouldn't block features but have seen a lot of fail cause of this feature missing and I just don't get that part.

30.00 a month on T-Mobile gets me true unlimited data. I reach 10 GB last month. Not grandfathered. Download booster is a nice feature to have and AT&T removing it and T-Mobile too (although Samsung told the PC Mag reviewer that the T-Mobile unit will have it enabled on launch day) sucks.

How do you swing 30 for unlimited when they charge that for 5gb?

I don't know? I called in to customer care after the new year when I got tired of them throttling me (they might as well turn off data since their throttling basically cripples my phone). Anyway, when I called in to voice my frustration I was told that for an additional 10 dollars I would receive true unlimited data. I took it and it's been great.

I love the white. It's already in a case though. I picked up the sparkly case mate champagne case from Best buy last night. Which looks great with the white front of the phone.

Speaker volume/quality seems fine to me.

How is the signal strength and does the notification light look as good as the S3?

Signal strength is fine. I did not have an s3 so I can't say.

Does anyone know if you can use widgets on the lockscreen with fingerprint security? I would assume no, but I'd hope yes.

Can someone confirm that ART is available on the S5?

I don't think so. You can't even access the camera shortcut on the home screen without first scanning your finger.

Perfect. That should help with the performance/battery life. Which I'd already assume is top notch on Dalvik.

Notification light does look good on the S3 doesn't it I'm pretty sure Samsung didn't mess this up either on the S5.
