Hi, I have been let down with the new iphone 6. Today morning I have just upgraded to galaxy S5. Why? Because its features are top of the range, especially camera!
Now I want to create 2 accounts on my S5, how do I set this up on the S5?
1st one I want all my personal apps and contacts on and
2nd I want for my family members to use but without access to apps or my contacts, but they can still be able to use mins as I have unlimited.
Thanks

I think there are several options. One is to go via notification pull down. Another way is via app drawer setting icon display setting.

Morning everyone!
I will be the first to admit, I was and probably still am a little bit of an Apple fanboy so to speak!
I was however extremely disappointed in the fact that Apple do not seem to innovate anymore and seem to just play catch up with the likes of Samsung/Android.
For this reason, I moved across from my iPhone 5 to the S5 around 4 weeks ago and so far I have loved every minute.
Don't get me wrong, it takes a bit of getting used to with the different OS but like everything, change is a positive thing.
Apps are near enough the same, if you like apps on iOs, they will be available on Android, the screen is larger and much clearer, the battery life is immense, the way you can adjust the home screen and the whole design of the phone is far superior to what I previously had.
I am perfectly happy with my choice and after seeing the fallout of the iPhone 6, Plus and watch yesterday, I'm very glad I jumped ship!
I would highly recommend this phone.

Hey, Apple fanboy, go back to your walled garden,
people that enjoy a fast phone, replaceable battery, memory expansion, no iTunes watching everything that you do,
And on and on and on....
I could fill this page up like you did, but facts don't need feces to sound impressive.
BTW,
I think it's good Apple finally got a bigger screen, all those Apple hippies are getting older, bad eyesight, you know

s5 .... its been almost 5 years since Samsung launched their first smart phone .... and although samsung is one of apple's leading competitor, however I still think that there are still a lot of features in apple phones which are visibly lacking in Samsung phones.....
I have used Iphone 4,Samsung Note,Iphone 5 and now recently bought a Galaxy s5.... the shortcomings that I am referring to here are not some big glaring issues ... they are little things which, I think, have been handled exceptionally well in apple...
For exmaple, in S5 media from whatsapp is downloaded directly to the gallery....there is no option to stop that...atleast not directly from the phone as in Iphone.....there is a workaround for the same.....u need to download ESExplorer and then open the Whatsapp folder in the same and add a file called .nomedia ..... in Iphone it is as simple as pressing a button in the chat settings....
Other issue (and this one is really a f****ing headache) is to get at the Home Screen settings ... (not the one of changing the wallpaper but the one where we can define whether we want the magazine or not) .... this one supposedly pop ups when u long press the home screen (a free spot on the home screen) ...however there are already so many things on the home screen that most of the time long pressing the home screen never takes u to the home screen settings(actually nothing happens!!!) ....(really guys did u not test the phone after assembling it :/ ).... and to top that there is no other to way to go this setting(whoever came up with that idea is indeed a genius!!)... On one of the lucky attempts that I was able to go to the Home Screen settings I disabled the magazine....BIG MISTAKE!!! .... now i am trying to get back in but i cant go back to the home screen settings!! :/
There is also a very stupid(atleast thats what i feel) effect ,when u wake ur phone up by pressing the power button. Suppose u have an Unlock Effect of Popping Colors...whenever u wake ur phone up there will be small bubbles popping on the screen...WHY!!! this is true or all the effects! ... I mean I understand that when u swipe ur fingers across the screen to unlock the effects should be there... but why when the screen wakes up after pressing the power button.... to overcome this I i choose None from the unlock effect.... u would think that this should resolve the issue.. but NO!!! when u do that there is a big lock symbol on the screen....bravo to the person who came up with that idea!!!....when we choose None there should be no effect on the screen... u already display in the bottom left corner, "Swipe screen to unlock", then whats the use of the lock symbol!!!! ..... it just ruins the lock screen wallpaper..!!
The issue of phone being a little slow is also there.... I got Note1 2 years ago.... this issues was there in that also... and now here we are 2 years after and yet this issue has not been addressed satisfactorily...
I have been using s5 for only a week and I have already found these issues....I am sure that there are going to be more small bugs....please I would request Samsung to address these kind of silly design issues before launching a product.... I have switched between apple and samsung phones twice... whenever I switch from a Samsung phone to Apple i always have a feel good factor .... however it is not true other way round...i shifted to s5 from Iphone 5 hoping that issues - similar to the one mentioned above ,that I encountered in Note - will have been resolved by now but alas that is not the case..... MAYBE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT FOR SAMSUNG!!!
