I love my Samsung, I've always have my galaxy series. I been using s5 over 1 year now. I loved it at first. But recently it is giving me a lot of trouble........ the screen will start typing when I'm not even touching it at all. Sometimes I can't unlock my screen because of that. And That's Like the main thing right now. It bugs me.....

S3 & S4 (unlock) ex-user here and one thing im glad about is that we have the same experience. Cheers!

I the hope that is not the latter,try to just factory reset your phone and reap the benefit.

Absolutely HATE HATE HATE that you have to now hold the left button to access the menu. Would rather this button be the opposite and have to hold it for recent apps. Guess how often I use "recent apps"? NEVER. Guess how often I use the menu button? I guess not as often as I'd like now. BRING BACK THE GS4. The 5 is similar, but about 8 steps back... I HATE apple worse than I hate this new button, but I think I'm done with Samsung. Going to trade my GS4 (that I got yesterday) for my new IPhone today...

Pros:
Decent battery life
Decent screen
SD card slot
Cons:
Poor construction - After 6 months of ownership the phones bezel already has intense paint chipping, and the removable back no longer holds to the phone (No longer water proof)
Call quality is garbage, when I put people on speaker unless I am yelling or have the phones speaker 2 inches from my mouth people will not hear me. Even with it that close they often report that I am "cutting out".
4.4.4 Update made this phone horrible - Auto corrector often turns really words into something not intended such as I typed has and it turned that into hab, Apps are constantly crashing (Apps that crash on a regular bases as of 4.4.4 that I have noticed are Facebook, Gmail, My AT&T, Pandora, Ebay, Internet Browser, Text messaging app and a few others I cannot remember. A fun little bug where I swipe my finger over the finger print sensor and instead of unlocking it just goes black again causing you to need to re swipe your finger print (Usually happens 3 time in a row before correcting itself). A very common little bug that pops its head up very often is when clicking the home button instead of going to the home page the phone brings up google now. The only way I know to fix this is to restart the phone but it will happen again sooner or later. The phone app can often become no responsive not allowing you to hang up calls which is always super fun. The battery has also gone down dramatically with this update. (I was on the phone for 30 min and lost over 15 % battery power)
The Camera take very bad low light and indoor shots (A lot of noise in these photos)
The heart beat sensor is garbage, It rarely works and when it does work its not very accurate.
The step counter is rather terrible. On average when I walked 12 miles it would report that I walked 18 miles.
Another little feature that has started happening after 4.4.4 is whenever my phone connects to wifi it likes to connect to an unsecured 3 bar connection (Public wifi) as opposed to my secure network. Even after "Forgetting" The unsecured network it still logs onto that one putting my information out for any novice hacker to steal.
All in all I hate this phone and I am currently dealing with AT&T and the BBB to get it exchanged for a functioning phone because clear this phone is not a functioning phone.
