I hope Samsung release Nougat update for S5...hoho..one thing i like of the Samsung product is they still follow up their old phone and sometimes they give a new firmware update to it...not like Oppo..their old phone just stuck at the old firmware so they can push us to buy their new phone every year..huhu..

At least you can replace your battery with a new one. As of S6 all the batteries are built-in so you are stuck with battery problems or have to take it to a repair centre to get it replaced. I know somebody who got a S6 little over a year and already having battery problems. They have to charge their S6 for 6 hours even with a fast charger. I have my S5 for two and a half years and my battery is still giving me good mileage. I honestly cannot complain.

The DOZE feature is somewhat tricky to find. From the BATTERY menu open the sub-menu (the 3 dots) from the top right hand corner. You can either touch the 3 dots to open it OR hold the recent apps key for 2 seconds or until the menu comes up. After the sub-menu opens just select 'Battery Optimization'.

You got that update quickly. My updates usually hit near the end of the month. The earliest update I got was the December one which came in on the 17th. Nice way for Samsung to wish me Merry Christmas (smile).

If you are using Marshmallow (which I am) go to the BATTERY menu and activate DOZE mode. Turn on doze for all the apps, files and processes. Everything will be in a long list. While you are in the battery menu go to the POWER SAVING option and select ALWAYS SAVE POWER for all the applications in that list.
Secondly turn off automatic updates from the Playstore. Turn of all the motion gestures and sensors. Turn off Wi-Fi, Data, Bluetooth and any other radio you aren't using like NFC etc. Disable things like My Magazine/Flipboard, S-Voice and other stuff if you don't use. By the way, disabling S-Voice will give you faster response when using the Home button. In Wi-Fi mode go to advance settings and disable Wi-Fi always on when sleeping. Set it to never. Finally set your screen brightness to the absolute minimum which is comfortable to your eye.

I usually get 5 hours of screen on time. I tend to Web browse a lot and I use chrome which isn't the best option battery wise.

AnonD-265743, 05 May 2017Hi jamaican
I would i know if my S5 is using isocell or sony camera?To KATANADVO:
AIDA64 is the golden diagnostic software in letting you know what camera sensor you have. I just found out about it. I downloaded it from the Playstore and ran it. It works perfectly.
Once you download and run it open the 'Devices' category. At the very top it will tell you what sensor you have. If the camera ID begins with SLSI then you have the ISOCELL sensor. If not you should see something like SONY_IMX240. If it's not ISOCELL the camera ID line will begin with SONY for sure.
For the record mine says SLSI_S5K2P2_FIMC_IS
My theory is that the S5 part of the ID is in recognition of the Galaxy S5 being the first smartphone to use the ISOCELL sensor. Even the S6 with ISOCELL have the S5 in the ID string as well. The S5 is simply the best.
