Does the galaxy s5 lag after using it for a couple of months?

[agdorid]

I want the galaxy s5, but im afraid that after a few months or so, its gonna slow down and start logging. Is the lag really bad?

I'm curious about this too. That was my worry when buying the s5. Ive had mine for about 1.5 months now. It's a nice phone, but it does have more issues then my iphone had. Internet will stop working and I'll have to restart the phone. Occasionally it will lag. Not too terrible, but not the smooth operation of an iphone.

It's the stupid touchwiz
There will be lag, and apps will stop working, and pages will freeze

I've had mine since release in April and haven't had any lag issues. I would consider my usage moderate-heavy.

I've had my note 3 since February and it's still Smooth, fast and lag free.

ROFL . Really where you getting your info from ? I've had my S5 since day one . No lag or Freezing .

 

[jonebk12]

No. Had it since launch.

No, it will only slow down if you add something that increases the load on the cpu.

I have had mine since release date, and every time a lag problem shows up, I can directly trace it down to something I just changed.

I delete that change and the lag issue is gone.

I have recently started using the Nova Launcher and had a lot of new things to get used to. It has its' problems also, but I keep using it because Nova can backup the current state of all the home pages and then restore them if you need to.

Nova "seems to be" a bit faster than the TouchWiz launcher. That would just be the GUI though, as the underlying OS is still the same.

Not mine. I turn off any BS apps that I will never use.

You can always clear the system cache

Use volume key and go to 'wipe cache partition' and press power button to select
Click on reboot device

I am using S5 duos sine 5 days and it's really smooth and fast...though I have limited apps installed...battery life is great that's it's new with 18 hrs with heavy use...I am really happy with this phone...One of the best android around

 

[agdorid]

Is it a good idea to get the galaxy s5 now, or should i wait and get the 2014 moto x gen 2?

 

[Ed Briggs]

Put a custom rom on it. That will cure the slow down blues.
