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'.

Ananth, 08 May 2017My phone is extremly awsome. Today i got new update for may 2017. Anybody have any issuesTo ANANTH:
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.

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.

AnonD-1385, 05 May 2017To MDN8: The S5 is a masterpiece of a phone.Agreed. It's like they simply wanted to make the best *phone* not a fashion statement or a trend setter. Battery can be removed, it's reasonably water resistant, supports everything from memory cards to infrared, NFC or USB on the go, and it's not entirely made of glass. The more I use it, the more I like it.

To KATANADVO:
The G900F is the international Snapdragon version. The fact that you have that model doesn't mean you have the Sony sensor because GSMArena reviewed the G900F and their unit had a ISOCELL sensor. It's just that the easier way to get the ISOCELL sensor is with the G900H...as far as I know. Try the code I gave you and see what happens. Otherwise you will have to get a diagnostic software from the Playstore and see if it reveals it. Try CPUZ as that was a very good diagnostic software for computers and it should also be as good for mobiles. After CPUZ shows up after searching for it the Playstore should list similar diagnostic apps. You can try them all if you can.

I should have told you that the Exynos version of the S5 usually comes with ISOCELL. To check if you have the Exynos version go to SETTINGS, ABOUT PHONE then look for MODEL. If you see G900H then you have the Exynos version. Anything else is the Snapdragon version.
