rbi, 23 Aug 2016Wean This modal nogut update Never Bro,
Reason 1 This phone was launched with Android Kitkat and got two major update (Lollipop and Marshmallow) so no more updates as no phone in Android got more than two major update (Not even Google Nexus).
Reason 2: Phone launched with two variant Snapdragon(s801 soc) and Exynos Soc. Unfortunately OpenGL ES 3.1(GPU feature) is required for Android Nougat, Since only Exynos SOC (Octa core variant) only support this but not Snapdragon variant s801 SOC (Not samsung fault here, this type Qualcomm screwed with us, even Sony has to drop support for Z3 series even after release beta version of Nougat ).

hy killerkishore713 are you running official kitkat or custom rom?
if official then you don't need to worry about anything just update your phone, but remember dont use unofficial roms because they drain lot of your battery.

From 1... moreI have my S5 for ONE YEAR and TEN MONTHS and the battery has never failed me. I'm using Marshmallow and while the battery life was mediocre at first (without power saving turned on) it's now much better. From what I gather, Marshmallow studies your usage habits and executes the power as best as possible based on your usage habits.
I can easily get 20 hours or more of fairly heavy daily use. Yesterday after 13-14 hours I still had more than 50% of battery life left. I have no need to work with my charger to work.
Maybe I can give you a few battery saving tips. 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. There are more power saving tips but I shared the major ones with you. Experiment and see if you can find more.
In the nearly two years I have had my S5, it has never hung, crashed nor freeze. It stalled one or two times but I never had to do a battery pull in order to use back the phone. My S5 has been flawless and still going strong.
Please give me a feedback and let me know the outcome after trying my tips. In regards to the phone you are planning on getting 'galnot 7'...I have never heard of it. I will research it though. Take care my friend.

Hi All, i have ordered the S5 in India as intially the price was Rs.51,000 when it was launched, now it is currently sold for Rs.13,999 (~ $208). I needed a compact phone with AMOLED screen and a good camera so it fits the bill perfectly and that too at this cost. So which OS is better for the S5, kitkat 4.4.2 or Lollipop 5.0 or Marshmallow 6.0.1 ?

AnonD-1385, 09 Aug 2016How new is your battery?After 2 days, S5 with MM getting worse for the battery. I've to charge 3-4 times a day. From 100% only about 3-4 hours to 20-30%, draining the battery, was thingking about reformating. After days 6, i got update apps from google play store, suddenly everything getting better. For standby still gorgeous but if i've to use it even with daily use still acceptable even not sattisfied. Maybe problem with 3G coverage or maybe doze in MM is good? I just charge twice a day. Like now still 56% after 10 hours 19 mins.
In lollipop sometimes i got hang after i updated apps from play store which i've to take the battery out, after MM everything just back to normal. Never get hang after update apps from play store.
Camera is everything normal. Even the selective focus is working normally.
I'm thinking to trade in with galnot 7 which 4G supporting, better camera, bigger memory, bigger internal memory, bigger battery 3.500 mAh.
