I recently updated to 5.1 lollipop. Since then, although my car Mode has worked, it will not do anything with the voice commands. I am able to say a command but as soon as it begins to fulfill the command it says "unable to connect to a network" and the ladies voice says "something went wrong...

I use the S health app quite often but one thing I can't use very well is the sleep tracking. I'd like to actually have a device that can provide detailed tracking. However, I am not a fan of the current samsung gear or android watches... I would really love a mechanical watch that still...

My problem is not a typical one. What happens with my s5 is that I frequently go fishing near the canada u.s. border (I live in canada) and although I still have bars from my home network, my s5 insists on switching over to a u.s. network every time. I would still like to stay on the home...

Using the stock galaxy s5 music player... what is your opinion on the best settings for the equillizer hooking the phone up via bluetooth or auxillary? Just ordered a kinivo btc450.

So I took a screenshot of something a bit worrisom. I turn my phone off every night and my wifi is always on when I do it. I just so happened to look at the battery stats in the morning and I see that it shows my phones wifi as being on all night! Even when it was supposed to be off. I'm not...

Before lollipop, I had "Restrict background data" selected under the regular power saving mode and it would always stay enabled when I selected power saver. After lollipop, once I select it it does not enable that setting the next time I use power saving. Each time I enable power saving mode, I...

Does anyone know how to answer calls with the ear buds? I have figured out most things but it's annoying that when someone calls me no matter how I press the button it just ends the call. If somebody had a link to the full list of controls and voice controls when using the ear buds that would...

I have read about the ".nomedia" trick before. However, I am really quite surprised that I haven't found another solution. Is there a way to specify the S5 music app to only pull from a specific folder on my device?

Just wondering if my usb jig that I used to reset the flash counter on my S2 would do the same on my s5 when I root it? Or.... what other ways are there to clear the flash counter on an S5?

I am going to be getting the S5 soon. When I do, I'd like to set it up so that any sort of audio recordings sent through apps (ex. Facebook messenger) do not show up on the google play music app, what do you guys suggest? Or would it be simpler just to use a different music player or stock...

I searched but didn't get an actual clear answer from any former S2 owners... The S2 feels like its the perfect size for me and is the last reasonable size of screen. I will have to upgrade soon as the battery is basically cooked and the phone is getting slow as hell. I really want the S5...

As I'm awaiting the S5 mini I'm just trying to get a head start on the rooting. My S2 was so much better once Rooted I would like to do it again, only I would like to keep the stock ROM. Is it fairly easy to root these things now? My S2 two years ago was sort of a lengthy process. And I like...

Does anyone know when the S5 mini will actually come out? There is literally no info on the net about North America. Russia has it, Britan seems to have it, but no one has talked at all about the U.S. or Canada

As the title says, can anyone give me the main points to get a tablet? How are the Galaxy tablets different from my Galaxy S2 phone? (my phone is rooted running RR Rom) Are there any tablet specific apps to utilize that a phone simply cannot? My dad has the Tab 3, and although it is very...

Well, I've had my I9100 S2 for a couple years now. It's rooted and I am running a custom rom so I never felt the need to always upgrade my phone. Now that the S5 is out, I really am starting to take a shine to it. However, I hate the huge size of all the new samsung phones, so if I do upgrade it...
