                          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.

                                Galaxy S5 does not have radio in Galaxy S5, it is a basic limitation.

                                  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
