        Anonymous, 04 Jan 2015While all these new features are just wonderful...has anyone ever actually used the phone part... moreSuggestions :

        1) Remove your cover (flip cover or case cover as well), sometimes it's only this masking your voice.

        2) Try another phone carrier.

        3) Change your unit because it could be defective.

        Conversations are perfectly clear for me like for my contacts when they hear me. And i can say the same for a bunch of people i know with S5 around me.

        Then if you did all those 3 and get the same results, you may be right for your region.

          While all these new features are just wonderful...has anyone ever actually used the phone part of this device? It is first and foremost supposed to be a phone and the microphone is absolutely horrible. No one can hear me on the other end...sounds garbled and broken up.Have read numerous comments from European sites complaining about this but nothing really is the US so I know this is not an isolated issue.Love the device otherwise but it seems Samsung has forgotten the most obvious and basic funtion of this device. Any suggestions?

                    Just an eye washer in the name of tech....and wasting our fruitful time in do research and analysis wrt to ex current next mobile phone which actually does nothing in return but making us in time occupation with After so much experience I feel a basic java phone like ex SE phone with some ultrabooks would be suffient to run our day to day life..

                            LTE in the philippines sucks! regardless of what carrier you have.

I own note 3 and the s5. I usually get around 5 hours of screen on time on the s5. For normal usage the battery will last probably around 18 to 24 hrs. It is on par and sometime better than the note 3 with larger battery.

It's up to these designers to get doing what they are paid for all these phones nowadays are just a screen. Thats all it will be till someone reinvents a new design smartphone.

                                    I bought the samsung galaxy s5 20 days ago. I have got problems with the battery life. It is exhausted very fast (it lasts less than 24 hours with minimum use of the internet) , but my big problem it comes from the fact that the phone is heated up. It warms up even if you don't use its at all, just is open.
                                    Does anyone can help? Is there any explanation? or is about a faulty device I got?

                                      I always look forward to the new Galaxy S series but the last 2 have been miserable and slowish and poor battery. I am one of the folk who Touchwhizz does actually bring me features i use.

                                        I am soon to buy a new phone and was looking at this one versus the Sony Experia Z3. It's a very close match between the two but I think I will go for the Samsungthe see e t just seems to have the edge over the Sony, plus the Samsung has a larger community of developers who love to customise the Galaxy series off phones. In other words, the Samsung Galaxy family has a ton of third party support, more so than most other manufacturers of Android phones.
                                        Also, I have a few friends who already own this phone and have said that it is miles better than its predecessors, including the S3 which I currently own. Two of those friends also upgraded from the S3 and both said hiow much better the S5 is over the S3.
