Galaxy S5

Android 4.4.2
I used to be able to press a mic button just to the left of the spacebar. Voice translation was fast and good. Now, without updating, that button is gone. Downloaded Google Voice and now when dictating it takes longer, doesn't allow sentence finishing, and...
Geeeeez. My Galaxy 5 is fine, but Metro somehow forced this OS upgrade on my phone. I'm postponing it. How to stop this upgrade and delete it ?
Or is this upgrade a wise idea ?
My year old Core doesn't sound good to callers, but callers state it sounds much better through my bluetooth earpiece. I don't care about the warranty, if any. The reviews of the Grand Prime sound better and both phones are under $100.
Would you choose the Core Prime or Grand Prime, and why...
How may one be sure that all software on the S5 is backed up? Can this be done with an application on the phone saving the data/software to a computer? Which App is used and is it put on the phone, the computer, or both?
If one erases/resets the phone to factory defaults, will the backup...
Thanks to this forum for advising the Samsung inductive back cover and a wireless charging base station. The phone has the original Samsung battery and the battery is in good condition. The phone screen behaves normally when charging via USB, but now the wireless charging is strange during...
Found this piece on various websites, such as here: http://www.dx.com/p/replacement-waterproof-dustproof-usb-charging-plug-for-samsung-s5-silver-377003?tc=USD&gclid=CMjWismjsMoCFccXHwodYBwNdg#reviews

When an event is entered in the calendar, it goes to gmail then gmail and the phonE remind me. Snooped around and saw how to stop gmail from sending reminders to the phone, but cannot find where to stop the S5 from sending the event to gmail or the on line calendar.
Is my Galaxy S5 with Android 4.4.2 at risk ?

Applications are updating when I do not want them to do so, such as when only on 4G. Where does one turn off updating so it's done only when wished and only when connected to WiFi?
Locked screen. There's a small shoe with the heel elevated. Under true heel is a circle of a running man. To the right of this is "Paused".
Unlocking the screen ----> they disappear.
Why is the emblem there? What is being paused?
1. Sometimes after a call is terminated, the built-in Samsung music score starts playing, "Over the Horizon". How to stop it permanently ?
2. The right sided "on-off" button should be located more toward the top. Because it's opposed by the volume and camera trigger button, sometimes one...
Swipe ?
Pattern ?
Fingerprint ?
PIN ?
Password ?
None ?
3rd party app ? Which one ?
Are the secure ones by-passable ? What happens if one forgets their password ? Is the fingerprint lock reliable ?

Why the caveat about it not fitting? How does one know if it will fit their S5 and use the original cover? Why doesn't every...
Using my Mac laptop, the Memo folder in the LG Motion has multiple files 1_scr to 98_scr . How to transfer these memo entries into the S5 ?
EDIT 10:30PM
I added a few memos in the S5, then using my Mac and Android Transfer, looked at the card and internal phone files and folders. Could...
Oooops. Solved… almost. Found Google Calendar in Play Store and it also reads the calendar data. I do NOT like the GUI of Google's calendar. The Calendar on the LG Motion, and the Samsung calendar seems much better.
How to work this for the better GUI but still synch ? Looks like as long...
Not in the best signal area here and this AM noted an "E" near the signal bars, then later the "E" disappeared and there was no letter and no LTE.
Where may a decoder and explanations be found for any and all notations which relate to transmissions, protocols, etc. ?
Please advise. Right now I only have the ZeroLemon 9H tempered screen protector adhered. Nice product. Fun to watch how it seems to suck up and attach the film.
I probably will not use the 7500 mAh battery, but that flexible rubber case which accompanies that extended battery was nice...
Yes, there is a menu selection, but a techie told me to hold in the volume and on buttons to get some Developer menu, then select some other way to restore the phone.
I'm ready to erase and restore this S4 as if no one ever used it. How best to do ?
I have as new Galaxy S4. The seller offered to upgrade this S4 to the S5 for $230.
Would it be better to spend $230 more and get the Galaxy S5 ? How is the S5 different from the S4 ? How is it better ? How is it not better, or worse ?
Is the S5 worth $230 more than the S4 ?
This Galaxy S4 branded from T-mobile has many unwanted programs, but it was only $250. Downloaded RootAppDelete and it's more complex than before it was on the LG Motion, and I don't know what's safe to delete on this Galaxy S4.
Particularly annoying are the Samsung Hub and Widgets.

Don't know how this changed, but the group of icons on the home screen of my LG Motion is now a group three swipes away. So after it starts up, I must swipe three times to the right to get to the most used group of icons.
How does one go back to the selection group three swipes away ?
