Barry knows how to do that :p

Lockscreen preview of text and mails is already in touchwiz you just have to switch it on so it will show you the preview via settings. For quick access to applications long press on the home button will bring you google now and from there you can open your apps easily.

Change recording mode to smooth mode.

I'm in the same boat as you, really want to know the answer to that ancient question :silly:

for me even less - 3 minutes. For some weird reason the first 5% takes only 15 minutes of usage to drain.

Never happened to me on the S5 yet but it happened for me some times on the nexus 7 2014 while using chrome (only on kitkat). Guess its a general problem that can happen in android since KitKat. Hope google can fix it asap.

Its under Accessibility ->Dexterity and interaction -> Smart Scroll. Hope it helps.

Lol, you caught them in the act :p

I really don't see why do you care, your S5 will be less powerful than when you bought?

I noticed that too - The screen get brighter in a matter of nanoseconds but when I am in a dark environment it takes a minute or two and sometimes it never turns the brightness down. Hope they'll fix that with an update or something soon. Anyway, what I did to go past that is turning down the...

1. Really dark places - Use flashlight. 2. Otherwise - Use stabilization and try hold still while taking the pic.

I don't know what happening to your phone but mine actually got faster :eek:

This thread who is targeting S5 owners, not M8 owners like you. Yes, the S5 is wider a bit but with the fact it is 1.5mm thinner it helps it and therefore irrelevant. And again, let me reference you to the M8 forums - you wont see any comment there of S5 owners bashing m8. Why is that? Because...

This is only on the S4. On the S5 there isn't any "Air Gesture" settings under motions and gestures.

Thanks for that replay, now I understand where you are coming from and your previous comments :good:

Where? :fingers-crossed:

You can get it by going to call settings->Answering and Ending Calls options and check "Voice control" and "Waving hand over device" :good: I also miss quick glance, but apart from that every single feature from the S4 is present in the S5. And the useless apps (for me of course) that now can...

Pay attention I haven't talked about the lag but your rant about the bezels. I agree with you about the lag, but the same apply to every manufacturer and in general to android. The problem in Samsung devices is with the dialer, contacts and gallery apps which takes too long to open on fresh...

No, he means the M8 members like you who come here to bash the S5, I don't see the same thing on the M8 forums...

I used the S4, S3, S5, One X, One M7, One M8, Z1, G2, N3 and Nexus 4 and 5. BY FAR, the nexus 5 and S5 have the best grip and these are the only devices I feel safe not to use a case with them because of that. The M8 on the other hand was too slippery and it slipped out of my hand when I checked...

Just compare the screen on blue bars with with the awake blue bars.

Double quote :p

I have G900F - the international LTE variant.

Weird, mine is already black. Maybe sprint changed the theme or something.

Try background styles in settings->display of the messaging app.

Good signal.

It was a weekend so I used wifi only.

No, it is my stats and they are the way I use it everyday - no power saving option at all and auto brightness. Yup, I wasn't using it in direct sunlight at all, but the screen brightness wasn't low at all. When I'm using it outside with auto brightness+5 all day I get roughly 6-7 hours screen...

8 hours screen on time in 2 days off charger and nearly 11 hours in 26 hours of overall usage: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51894933#post51894933 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51928885#post51928885 No, its not indication of what you will have, but...

A new leak said that the S5 prime will be actually be with 5.7-5.9 inch screen and be called Galaxy Note 4 :p

Maybe you've got a bad unit cause I don't have it on my S5.

Cause it isn't a FRAND patent. It is not a basic function...

Mine too.

This is the reason they are putting it less secure than PIN and Password as a screen unlock method.

USB2.0 and less than 2 hours.

Take a look at my results, almost twice the battery life I got with the S4.

Snapdragon version.

3rd cycle: I am getting amazing battery life with this phone. Almost twice as what I was getting with my S4. Sent from my SM-G900F using xda app-developers app

Location was off all the time as you can see in the screenshots :)

Sync is off, NFC is on. What other settings you need?

Only WiFi and smart stay on.

Its because the always WiFi search feature introduced in android 4.3 or 4.4. You can turn it off in the advanced settings of WiFi.

Yup, the S801 is a battery master!

Yup, on the 2nd cycle of the S4 I got barely 5 hours screen on time in 1 day off charger. With the S5 I get almost 8 hours of screen on time in 2 days off charger. Now with the S4 and my usage I got almost 6 hours screen on time in 2 days off the charger. So if it will be the same as with the...

From 10% down I switched WiFi off. Anyway, the rest of the time I only used WiFi.

Got great battery the 2nd cycle: More than 2 hours screen on time more than my S4, and I still have some juice left:cool: Sent from my SM-G900F using xda app-developers app

I had a S4 and I upgraded to the S5 for the full price (in my country its around 1000$), and I am really pleased with my decision.

Bloat?! What Bloat?! I have almost 12GB user space available!

Everyone should try using HDR for low light - it improves quality and visibility tremendously.
