    Hi, has anyone faced any problems with the S5 regarding the whole water resistant thingy. After being submerged in water, there is an issue with the 3.5mm slot. It keeps on showing that earphones are connected whereas neither any earphones are plugged in nor is the bluetooth turned on. At first I thought of it as a software glitch and has it reset a few times but to no avail. After the phone became dry, including the 3.5mm slot. It went back to being normal. What I needed to know is that whether it's normal for the S5 to behave as such or is it just my unit that has the issue. Feedback would be highly appreciated.

        Does the heating problem occurs in 4G version?

                  Camera sucks. Won't load 75 % of time, won't take multiple shots. Displays gallery only if it's in the mood. Can't edit from camera open page....disgusted with my brand new phone camera.

                    I purchased this phone Samsung Galaxy S5 exactly 1 month ago. I know about the 14 day warranty. I noticed when I purchased it, it would not hold a charge and get hot while sitting in my pocket. I could feel it through my leg. I went to AT&T dealer where I purchased it many times about the battery would not hold a charge and that it gets hot. They said we only sell them. I would have to call Samsung. I called Samsung and stayed 5 minutes on the phone so that they could look at my phone through their phone. He said it seems like a battery issue. I know. He told me to go to Best Buy. There is a Samsung dealer there. He can check to see if the battery is bad. I went he said he has no way of checking the battery. No help there at all. He told me to go to the AT&T tech support store. (Different than from where I purchased the phone). He checked the phone and said, this is not accurate, but I think the battery is ok. After going round and round, he ordered me another battery. In the mean time, I went back to AT&T where I purchased the phone. I have a one year warranty. Can I just get another battery and try? They said they do not have any. I asked if there is more S5 phones? Yes. I said well just give me another phone and battery. We can not do this. I would have to bring the phone to the AT&T tech support and they would have to do this. In the mean time again, my new battery came in yesterday. Well all of this crap I went thru, I put the new battery, the phone is fine. Is this really called for???????? Not happy customer, Gus

                            Apparently the S5 only comes with 16G on board in RSA , is this true

                                  I'm using s5 and my partner is. I love the phone but my partner s has over heated and cracked the led screen. Design floor! I'm also having a problem with the tag app, it keeps telling me unknown tag? I don't know what that's about does anyone have any problems with their s.

                                      I had my s5 for 1 week now. Prior to that, I have Note 3. Here are the things i noticed. I had my note 3 for almost a year. and it's safe to say that Display of S5 is way better when compared on both hands. Speed wise. s5 is very quick compared to my note 3. Camera is way better. it captures bigger display compared to note 3.I did not install CAMERA360 because it captures images perfectly and Battery. i think it's the same now since i disabled pre-installed apps. and 2 gig ram is enough. my phone doesn't hang. i have 1 rpg HD game plus 1 regular game. everything is good. Finger Scanner is helpful. no one can access my phone that easily (my sister used to check my note3 when i was not around) Ultra Battery Saving Mode is very helpful. my phone last 22hrs with Moderate use (Social. 3g. Game. Music)It doesn't produce much heat. plus the interface is waaaaay better. the only thing that I am bothered is the FLAP from the charging port. it might loosen up one day.
