                  Have had my Galaxy s5 for 6 yrs with no problems til recently. Phone won’t stay on, goes off immediately, so I’m assuming it’s the battery? When it’s on for 2 seconds I see a yellow triangle with an exclamation shaped line in the middle. Anyone know what this symbol means?

                          I bought my galaxy s5 when it first came out in 2014, it's still going STRONG!! I love my phone. It does get warm, and when it does, I let it cool off. When it does go out,I hope to buy another new galaxy s 5. It's the right size and meets all my needs. I'm a utuber, texter, pay my bills, and Google search, I have no need of a fancy phone. I give this phone a 10 out of 10 stars.

                            These days you would need to customize ROM with LineageOS S5 to have it running smoothly again. With LineageOS ROM i would have never said that this phone is almost 7 years old android. Its still running smoothly. I definetly recommend you to pull it out of drawer as a spare phone.

                              I bought my Samsung Galaxy S5 in June 2014,to me it was the best choice for a mobile, I was a Nokia fan and in 2014 I took a gamble, new nothing about Android, but I am glad that I did, my S5 is still in great condition, it still has the original screen protector on it, last year I decided to update because most of my apps didn't work anymore on Android 6,I have been reading through the xda forum and I would like to try and install Lineage OS on it, my question is, I have no experience with custom roms and I was wondering if a person with no experience could try and install the rom,I loved my S5 and if I could get it done I would be able to enjoy my awesome S5 for a bit longer, one more thing, which is the best rom? Where everything works.

                                    Bought this phone new in May of 2014 and have had no problems except I had to replace the battery which cost about $10. Put it in a Tech21 case with a screen protector and it has survived many drops on various surfaces with no damage. It has been a amazing phone and I have been very happy with it.

                                        I have two klte's (900V) both rooted and running AOSiP 9.0 or Q. Works better than ever IMO. I custom compiled MultiRom and usually just use Q (Paranoid Quartz is another option). I do suggest compiling via source for fine tuning components and whatnot
