I was actually working on my S5 phone hope luck will be on my side, like what do I have to lose.
Samsung repair is asking me to pay
$221 (USD) - board replacement
$155 (USD) - LCD replacement
$40 (USD) - I forgot what part
$44 (USD) - labor
Guess what.

AnonD-8044, 06 Jan 2015You said it though "Water Resistant" not "Waterproof"..Yes, I am aware that it is 1 meter deep but in my defense, believe it or not, I only jumped standing on a 3 feet pool along with kids. The phone got soaked for less than 5 seconds. Yes I bought the phone in the Philippines first week launched in Globe telecoms.Anyhow, I wont debate with whatever people will say here. I know what happened and I am pretty sure the phone was supposed to resist that little plunge. And believe me when I say I take care of my belongings. I even have my Nintendo since I was 10 with me, yes still working. The phone was used that way in various occasions as stated in my story. It was only until the camera was replaced that this happened.
Good luck with you guys. I hope you don't get the same problem like me or better yet. Ignore the water resistant claim.

Many persons think that the S5 no longer has a capacitive menu button (I also thought so too when I first saw a live demo display model in a store) but it's still there under the quiet. Simply hold down the multitask capacitive button until the menu pops up. Holding it down between 1.5 - 2 seconds shows the menu options. I realised this on the very first day that I used my brand new S5.

I love the galaxy s5. The possibilities seem endless. However, having been an I phone user since apple created the I phone, I've relied on the cloud and apple for backing up EVERYDAY including texts. This is a feature that IS NOT available with the galaxy s5. My disappointment also stems from having had this phone for months before the charger port became faulty. My provider being T-MOBILE does NOT repair, they replace. I'm pissed off

These companys think we want slim phones but in reality an extra few millimetres and extra 1000mA of battery power is what persons want.

Hello,
I recently purchased Samsung S5 SM-G900F, it was having Kitkat 4.4.2.
I upgrade the version to Android v5.0 Lollipop from the following web site:
Its great phone with excellent 16 MP camera, but battery draining very fast due to having many of the unwanted applications installed.
Thanks
