Blurry fast moving pictures with the Samsung S5

Yeah since OP I've grown to love my Galaxy S5, but must admit unless the target in stationary and in sunlight, I don't expect much from it in the way of pictures. Pity as my iPhone always kept me from needing another piece to take pics but alas.
Changing from auto to ISO 400 will change shutter speed. leaving it open longer (higher ISO) will def cause blur with fast moving, but as someone else said you can only change the ISO with 'portrait' mode so am lost there! Again on the iPhone you can just change it whatever mode you're in!
Just goes to show that MP is a load of ole tosh as the iPhone 5S is half the MP of the S5 yet produces superior pics.
Can't have it all I spose!

This is just completely untrue. Unless you like pictures with a lower resolution and less detail. The iPhone does have better image processing and in certain situations will produce a "better" image. Almost any image a will look decent on the lower resolution and smaller 5S screen, but blow it up and you lose tons of detail that the S5 captures. Megapixels do matter despite what anyone says. If they didn't we'd all still be using 1.5 megapixel cameras.

Yeah once you blow pics up you're right about losing detail, I stand corrected, but tbh who can fit anything bigger than 1920 x 1080 on their screen anyway!
changing ISO will allow more or less light into the lens. In turn this can make it more grainy in told.
You can change ISO in auto mode, but HDR must be disabled.
Higer ISO -> shorter exposure -> less motion blur.
lol
I've read this thread with great interest, as I have severe Android buyer's remorse - mostly due to the S5's camera. Pauldw501, my photos all look exactly like yours, except mine hasn't successfully gone through an exorcism like yours seems to have. The fact that people raved so much about the droid camera was one of the reasons we thought we'd switch from the iPhone and give it a try. Turns out, they were raving because they had older (and better) models.
I'm a mom to 3 young boys, so my camera is almost as important to me as my phone. As you might imagine, my kids don't "mind" anymore than dogs when it comes to standing still, not going this way and that, staying in well-lit environments...... Many of the posts here say it just takes becoming a better photographer. I've owned an SLR camera in the past and I respectfully disagree. This is NOT an SLR. If I expected artistic, balanced, perfect photos, I would take out a second mortgage and purchase a digital SLR and lug it everywhere we went. (But even THAT camera has a "photography for dummies" point and shoot option if I don't want to be all fancy.) A phone camera should not be expected to be an extremely high-quality piece of photography equipment as much as it needs be able to simply take a reasonable photo in most reasonable conditions, simply and without fuss. That's what most camera phone owners use them for. If they want more, they spring for the SLR. Taking photos of active boys, I don't have time to analyze how fast they are going, what light we are in, etc., etc., and then have to go through multiple steps to make a change to the camera, only to have to remember to change it again for the next shot in a different situation. That's just ridiculous.
As for the quality of the iPhone photos, I have enlarged multiple photos I randomly took on that phone (by just clicking the shutter button, mind you) - one even to sofa size, and they are just fine. I'm sure a pro could pick them apart, but hey, at least I have decent visual memories of my family, and that's all I'm looking for. I just took 20 or so photos of Easter morning, and only one is clear enough to not delete. :'( We won't even discuss Christmas morning. Consistently getting these types of results is just not cool.
I am secretly wishing for an unfortunate incident to happen this phone so I can legitimately throw it out and go back to an iPhone. The benefits of this phone over the iPhone are negligible (if at all), and the camera issues put it at an extreme disadvantage in my book. It is my first and last Android. In the meantime, I guess I'll keep watching this forum as well as hoping for divine intervention to come and heal my phone, too!
