I've been using the same cable for my last 3 phones. Don't worry about the weird MicroUSB 3.0 dual-plug at the bottom of the phone, if you don't have that kind of cable you can simply use the part on the right side for the regular MicroUSB.

Older phone user...have liked my Galaxy S5 but have had photos disappearing (apparently common enough). Transferred photos to albums then went back to Gallery to move remainder and that had disappeared. Would appreciate any advice and also what lead/connector is required to link the phone to a computer to back up my data. thanks in advance.

AnonD-467915, 11 Oct 2017This topic for discussion and solutions and not to laugh by the way what you need to shoot the... moreS5 can shoot 3840×2160 (4k) resolution and this is highest one my friend. And it really gets hot when shooting 4k, we need to cool down the device to continue shooting.
But the resolution 7680x4320 is way to high, hope you get the solution and let us know.

grandma, 02 Oct 2017My first Samsung S5 worked great, but then it began making calls randomly. I did a factory re... moreI had the same thing happen. I'd be ON THE PHONE, talking to someone already on a call, and it would randomly start ringing another call altogether. I never ever used Samsung Voice stuff. I didn't allow it access to anything but I didn't disable it. It is a REALLY good phone all things considered and I still love it but I am now on iPhone. In many ways I love the iPhone more, and in many ways I love the S5 more, but I'm happy with the 8 Plus. My S5 battery lasts really well if I don't use the phone (i.e. standby only) and have little or no services on (i.e. bluetooth, wifi, etc). If I turn on GPS it seems to chew through the battery. It charges fast and I really have no complaints with the phone itself. My complaints are more with Android operating system and Google. Android gives you lots of customization at the expense of cleaner functioning and possibly also your personal information. Google is interested in keeping you safe and secure from others but are they as interested in keeping you safe from them? Anyway, I have an iPhone now and I had the same sort of call issue. That's really all I wanted to say is I'm glad I'm not the only one who had the calling issue. The fingerprint scanner is also lousy on the S5.

zoya, 10 Oct 2017there is no network after updating my S5 to Android 6.1 Shouldn't be. Probably you may have to reset. Honestly its is a damn good phone. No complains t all and best of ll battery is removable. I have a S6 and had the battery changed but the repair shop butchered my phone and there was glue all over on the back and also little bit on front screen. I also seen few cases like mine, from nice phone to ugly phone. Unless you bring to real good repair shop they make a blunder.
