samsung galaxy s5

Hi everyone! I've been living under a rock so I didn't even know what rooting was until very recently. But I'm very new at this and my phone is about 2 years old. How do I go about this? Here are my phone specs 1. Manufacturer - Samsung 2. Model - (SM-G900V) 3. Software version - (6.0.1) 4...

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. Looking to see if anyone else has encountered this and how to fix. Ever since the updgrade to 6.0.1 my S5 has been doing the random reboot thing. I've done a factory reset several times, replaced the battery, ran in safe mode for a while and even...

I have a rooted Galaxy S5 Neo running stock 5.1.1. I want to do a factory reset without removing root. Should I use the stock factory reset or TWRP? If I use TWRP do I select 'Internal Storage' as well as 'System' under 'Advanced Wipe'? Or will erasing 'System' remove the ROM as well? If I...

My internal memory keeps getting filled up. To free up space, I move all the apps I can to the SD card, but when the apps get updated, they end up back in internal memory. This does not happen to all apps, about half of the ones I have installed. Can this be remedied or do i have to continually...

I have taken a short 4G, at least it seems to be that quality, video on my S5 and now want to grab a high quality frame for it. Any advice please on how to get such an image?

A few weeks ago a firmware update got pushed which now requires me to enter my password every time I turn the device on, rather than letting me log on with my fingerprint like it used to. (After the initial password entry it works as expected until a reboot.) This is kind of annoying to me...

Hello everyone, so recently I wanted to copy some images from my phone (WhatsApp) to my computer. The problem is that in the gallery of my phone (Galaxy S5) they're named correctly and in the right order, but when I save them on my computer they're in the wrong order and have a wrong...

Sorry, complete stupid question I'm sure. I've looked and can't figure out how to search for the answer for this if it is already out there. Can I use a Boost Mobile Galaxy S5 on the Virgin Mobile network if it were rooted? Edit - If not, or if you have a better suggestion.... I had a Galaxy...

There has, in the past, been lots of speculation about whether the Samsung Galaxy S5 will receive an update to Nougat, Android 7.0, or not. It has now been confirmed that it will not receive Nougat. This is nothing to do with Samsung not wanting to support an older model and just abandoning it...

Received a device that was previously rooted but will not root with towel root or kingo. I downloaded the so stock .tar from Sam mobile, Odin fails (SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1 error) and kies will not accept model name (sm-g900a) Tried to update via the phone update query...

Hey all, I'm not much of a tech guy and know next to nothing about computers or smart phones, so I'm coming here for help. I'm getting my first Android phone since Android was brand new and really crappy. It is a Galaxy S5. Here's what I want: I want a no frills phone that will surf the web...

I have an odd issue with my GS5 after I unfortunately dropped it in the bath. I thought initially that water had got in the speaker as it was quiet. Now ring tones will play through the speaker but if I try to play music from Spotify etc no sound at all comes out. I've checked the volume...

Is this build currently able to be rooted? I've been checking back in every once in a while and I'm pretty sure if I wouldn't have updated to 6.0.1 I could have rooted.. But I can't go back now, right? Model: SM-G900V Android Version: 6.0.1 Android Security Patch Level: Jun 1st, 2016 Baseband...

I've had my Galaxy S5 for about 3 years now and it has reset on its own quite a few times. However a week ago when it reset I was stuck on the Setup Screen and it then asked for my Samsung Account email and password; no problem right? Wrong! Apparently it wanted the very first email account...

I followed some instructions from you tube to enable double tap to wake, but the option is not listed in my options. any ideas how to configure please? Phone is s5 mini , cyanogen mod 13 rom, 6.0.1

I've searched and read other threads regarding this but most are several years old. My situation is that we live in a rural area. We had satellite for internet service a few years back but it was expensive and the internet would crawl. When we got smartphones, I was educated about tethering...

First post- not too savvy... Somehow, headers appeared on a word document I have (obviously, something I accidentally did). Now I can't get rid of it! Nothing at all in the users manual, except how add or edit a header. grrrrrr I frequently edit this particular document. Anyone know how to...

Hi, first time I'm asking a question here, so bear with me. I own a Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F, Android 6.0.1, rooted), which I want to connect to a heart rate monitor (bluetooth low energy = BLE, chest belt) and a bike sensor (also BLE). I put brand-new batteries in both sensors, and they...

Not sure if this is a Samsung problem or Android. I have a Galaxy S5 with 6.0. Just had a 32GB SD card that became corrupted for some reason, even thought chkdsk /f finds no errors. I installed a 128GB SD card and everything looked OK. I downloaded a ton of Amazon videos. Problem started...

I just bought a 64GB micro usb card for my mp3 player and found it wasn't compatible because it is SDXC instead of SDHC. Can I use it in my S5 instead? thanks

is it just me or is there a significant delay when you hit the picture button, before it takes a picture? And, it's hard to tell exactly when it takes the picture. there is a click sound that appears to be when the photo is taken. and then the screen freezes for a second or two, making you...
