    I Think My Phone Has A Poltergeist

    Last couple of days I've been messing with all kinds of things and still getting marginal battery life. I had installed Battery Doctor but I uninstalled it late yesterday after I didn't see any improvement. And then today the phone's been just superb. Off the charger at 7:00 AM and tonight...

    Want To Improve Battery Life? -- Here's How

    So I have been pretty happy overall with my S5 since I got it but I was finding that I was getting maybe 14-16 hours of use on a full charge. I thought the phone and power supply should be somewhat better than this. So I started doing a lot of research, reading through multiple threads on the...

    Help Battery usage seems a little iffy

    What's "Android system" anyway? Can someone explain why "Android System" is killing my battery life? Is just 13 hours of this kind of usage normal? Does anyone know if the phone keeps searching for a 4G connection even when you're signed on to a wifi network? I'm wondering if this is...

    Anyone Else Using The myMail App?

    It's incredibly great. Graphics and layout is really pretty and well thought out. Much, much better than the native "email" app that comes with the phone. However, I am having a couple of issues with it that I was hoping someone could help me with. When I receive a new email I want to receive...

    Help with new case

    So I ordered the "ultra-fit" Spigen case and, while it's beautifully made and obviously a quality product I was dismayed to find that it was super-slippery (like holding a piece of ice on a 90 degree day slippery!!!). Back it goes. My requirements for a case are as follows: *Very slim fit --...

    Any Way To Zoom The Camera Other Than 2 Finger Pinch/Spread???

    My DNA has a nice vertical bar on the right side of the viewfinder that allows you to zoom soothly and accurately. So far the only way I've found to zoom in or out on the S5 is with the rather clumsy two finger pinch/spread. Is there a hidden control I'm overlooking?

    How To Activate The Phone Once It Arrives In The Mail?

    As I couldn't find a black one I ordered it directly from VZ Wireless over the phone. It's at FedEx and ready to be delivered on Thur. The VZ guy told me all I have to do is put my current phone in airplane mode and fire up the S5 and that this will automatically activate it and get the sim...

    No Black GS5's To Be Found...

    ...Plenty of the white ones but no blacks anywhere that I could find. Visited one store and called three others. Doesn't Samsung know that 99% of all early adopters are male and that men are going to want to buy the black phone? Any word on the future availability of a 32 Gig GS5?

    I Stand Corrected....

    ...When the Galaxy S5 was announced I was entirely underwhelmed. I just saw it at my local Verizon store and the thing is just amazingly beautiful. The screen is brighter and more vivid than my HTC DNA and the whites are even whiter (something I didn't think was possible). The camera is nothing...
