    Lag with launchers?

    I'm going to pull the trigger tomorrow and get the S5. My last concern however, is if the small internal memory results in issues with lag. I fully intend on installing a new launcher, most likely NOVA or Google Now. Has anyone done this and seen more lag? Or memory issues? I'd like this...

    Help What does the Gingerbread update mean for the general user

    So with the upcoming GB update I'm trying to figure out what it means for me. I understand it supposedly will mean a better battery life and better signal. What effect (if any) will the update have on the apps I've installed? Will they have to be re-downloaded? Are there apps that are not...

    Help Wifi Battery Usage Question

    I leave wifi on all the time. Would toggling Wifi on and off make a difference? I only use the wifi at home so it would be fairly easy to turn on when I'm home and off when I'm not.

    BB matched Amazon

    FYI: got the charge today at Best Buy. I asked if they would match Amazon and they did. Not sure if this is standard or not but it knocked $100 off the price and BB has a 30 day return policy.

    Help Removing Apps

    I am the sort of person that has a desktop with literally no icons. I'd like to have a phone that is able to do something along those lines. Without rooting (b.c. for now I'm hesitant to brick my phone but that's a topic for a different day) is it possible to "remove" apps? Ideally I want...
