Paula D'Araujo, 09 Feb 2015Samsung Galaxy S5 ws so Modern but I could not downloaded some apps such as Candy crush Games ... moreif you can not download Candy Crush,, on any smartphone (cause you can down load it on any smartphone) then i think the problem would be you and not the phone or Candy Crush.

I have got the galaxy S5 last December. I face the same problem as many on this site. The device is overheated, the battery is exhausted quickly and a label appears regularly reporting : Unfortunately Samsung Galaxy has stopped!

scorpio, 09 Feb 2015Wow. but how come no HTC phones? Also interested to know what you think of iphones.Hi
No HTC because i had no budget for one back in the time. And now because they are too heavy (due to metal) and too thick (i don't want 8.x+ mm phones anymore).
I had several HTC around me , i recon they are good quality and all very solid but slacking at updates.
I almost bought a Desire 300 last year due to very attractive price (this is how i buy mostly my phones).
Iphones are really good phones for what they do : calls, emails, music, games. The most important bad parts are their dependency to Apple/itunes and proprietary (costly) cables and acessories.
I gave them to my girlfriend, she likes them, but when i offered her the 5S, she wanted my galaxy S5 because bigger screen, better photos (selfies) and slide for calling (touchwizz) she said..

AnonD-123014, 08 Feb 2015Swiping my screen with my palm in front of others just to make a screenshot has enough to make... moreYeah, Galaxy S series has been pioneer on many features like this what people don't know, it's now only other manufacturers are adopting them (LG did an effort last year on G2 with knock code though).
I know i have made drooling quite a bunch of people too over the years with each new Galaxy S i bought.
-palm screenshot since S3 i think
-voice detection for photos since S3
-quick glance on S4 / Airwake on S5
-smart alerts (pickup vibration..) since S3 or S4 (forgot)
-vibration customisation per contact since S3
-sms tone customisation per contact since S3 (still not on stock android)
-turn down to mute since S2
-slide for call/sms since S1
-eye tracking (smart stay etc..) since S3
-complete dlna integration since S2
-blocking mode since S3 (Apple added it later as DND mode in some IOS version and now google integrated it partially in Lollipop)
-download booster since S5
-wireless transferts (BT / NFC / Wifi direct) without any additional-shady-non-working app (i know that because i had a Nexus 10 and i was surprised to see that you have to look for apps to do all basical stuff like that)
-one handed mode since S4 (well maybe that one was on LG G2 too in same time)
-Most complete defaut camera app since S1 (only lenovo supercam can match it now but it's too heavy)
-multi windows since S3
-zoomable video player since S3, screenshots from videos etc..
-etc..
And the list goes on, i would need to get back all my previous Galaxy S to make a complete one, but they have been a rich and enjoyable experience over the years.
Not talking as a "fanboy" (because i had / still own many phones in different brands) but all i recon is that Samsung brought the most to android industry, some from Apple, and Apple took some too. Google and others kept only integrating features afterwards.
To others, here are my SMARTphones (i skip non smartphones) i have/had to prevent useless comments :
Galaxy S1 to 5 / Alpha / Mega 6.3
LG G3 / Optimus P500
Lenovo S90 Sisley
Several Mediatek 6589/T phones (TCL / HDC / Star)
Chinese S4 mini Mediatek 6572 / Goophone i5
Sony Xperia Ray
Motorola Moto X 2013 / Defy+
Iphone 4 & 5S
Archos Diamond 45
Wiko Peax / Cink5
Maybe a few others but not important.
(i like mobile phones)
