My phone had an update last night, ever since it's stuck on loading screen (14 hours), I'm guessing this is not normal. Is anyone else having same problem and if so what can I do?
Thanks

My phone just did an update earlier this week and now it won't connect to 4G and I don't have anything on it to check the 4G. Is anyone else having this problem.

I used to be able to share a photo from Facebook externally to Samsung contacts via text or email. I now get an error message that says unable to attach file and end up having to take a screenshot to send to someone. Has happened since newest upgrade in September.

What is up with sending photos now. I click on the photo, then it asks me if its a new contact or existing. Then I have to go to the contact list to choose them instead of just typing them in at the top. Then once I have it all filled out it asks me again if this is the photo I want to send. Then it takes FOREVER to send and most the time people call me back to tell me they received a jumbled photo or a message saying my photo failed. This has only been since the new update. I have always been a Samsung die hard fan but this is really making me rethink things. Should I or Could i remove the last update?

My S5 screen has been flashing on and off for months and very often wake up in the mornings with a black screen, have asked for help from my supplier but they are rubbish, contract doesn't end till next March and i'm paying £30 a month for this rubbish.

My Galaxy S5 has black screen , for what reason I really do not know. After software updates I noticed that the phone is running too slow and sometimes hardly responsive, anyway it was working fine at night, woke up next day and my phone was black screen, nothing works at all I watched YouTube Videos and tried all possible ways ...... take off the battery ..... power button ..... power button and volume up ......volume down .......and home button together with power button and volume up and down ....all possible ways....but still nothing work...... if there is any suggestion..... will be much appreciated.
Many thanks

I can't even use my phone. It freezes stays on samsung screen. Just stops working all of a sudden. Super annoyed and very frustrated. This is my old phone and I have 2 toddlers at home so rely on this if there ever was an emergency... Have lost a lot of faith in samsung in general now.

Why they send out "updates" if they aint working properly is beyond belief. My battery lasts less than half a day. It's ridiculous. It used to last ages it just drains now.band taking away greyscale is another nightmare. Sort it out Samsung fgs.

CC user, 09 Sep 2016I updated my Galaxy S5 yesterday and experienced some of the same problems others have reporte... moreThank you so, so much. I was literally seconds away from doing a full factory reset (and I hadn't backed my phone up since early Jun) when i saw your suggestion. You were 100% correct, this fixed the connection issue immediately.

I just did the newest update last Thursday after avoiding it for months. This morning, I was using iheart app and when I went to stop the app, the screen stayed black. The power light and the 2 menu lights on the bottom next to the home button light up and it vibrates, but nothing on the screen. I have taken the battery out/put it back in, held down the power/home/volume button and nothing!! I have never had a problem with any updates before this.

I have never had any problems withe any updates of the s5. Mind you, I always back-up, and factory reset before and wipe the cache partition after any updates. I just today 14:30, Monday 3/10/16 installed 6.0.1 and again no problems whatsoever. My s5 is SPIFFING!!!

The same happening on my phone. Photos taken from phone and constant updates to add new apps that I don't want or need. So when not added, the phone adds the apps on its own. I bought the phone so I could place my own apps in it that I need or want. Or none at all. Just a phone for simplicity or what I want do, not for it to force things on my screen and in my applications. This will be my last Samsung.
