Kitkat OS has restricted saving directly to memory card on apps using camera that is why this camera failure appears.

        A very must feature:
        Handsfree mode or Car mode is missing in this model.
        I hope lollipop version may solve this.

            My system langwage is English (US). I also have Hebrew for the keyboard, and the swipe has worked great until it stopped this morning (12/18/2014). I tried everything the local (US) service could offer to no avail. I need help!
            Thanks.

              Anonymous, 17 Dec 2014I need to know that whether Galaxy S5 Duos can be upgraded to Lolipop or not. YES, it CAN be updated to Lollipop...but the real question is: WILL SAMSUNG decide to roll out an update for this device? And IF YES, WHEN?

                      It doesn't say anywhere, it's just a hidden arbitrary restriction that has nothing to do with reality.

                      There is nothing magic or special about LTE, it's just another standard. LTE band 3 is LTE band 3 anywhere in the world, just like WCDMA band 1 (2100 MHz) is the same everywhere. So why is there a restiction on where you can use LTE but not WCDMA or GSM? The phone is compatible, it's just limited on purpose.

                      Half the point of a dual-SIM phone is that you can use it abroad with local SIMs. Now this phone doesn't fulfill this purpose.

                      Also the restriction doesn't exist for most other models and manufacturers, so it has nothing to do with legal approvals or anything. For example Galaxy S3 4G (i9305), LG Optimus G (E975) and Nubia Z7 Max have no restrictions on LTE usage as far as I have found.

                      Also if you have a SIM-card from an "approved" country/operator, you can still roam on LTE (if allowed) in the countries where if you use a local SIM you won't get the choice for LTE network mode. So this proves that this has nothing to do with compatibility of the actual LTE network.

                        It is sold only in countries where it supports the network and people are brainless and bought from the country where it is released and used it in their country where it is not compatible.
                        The problem is not with the phone nor SIM, but with the people who bought it without knowing the compatibility and consequences!

                        Learn to research about any product you want to buy before buying it!

This "feature" is present in S4, S5 and Note 3 atleast (and possibly other models). And no the problem isn't in the SIM card but in the phone firmware.

                          This basically makes the S5 Duos completely useless for the world traveller. Unfortunately the alternatives aren't that many. You can get around it by rooting but then you have knox and warranty issues...

                            It is becuase of your network provider weak signal coverage.
                            And also the kind of apps you are installing and using.
                            You should get rid of power hungry apps like Facebook messenger and others.
