samsung galaxy s5

Just received an Android security dated 8-1-16 on my ATT S5. Had to clear out cache and some more stuff as it needed 738MB more of room to install. Had hoped it was Marshmallow, but it was not. Oh well.

Hi, Ok, so quite a while ago I had successfully rooted my S5. At some point I really started worrying about not getting security updates (and didn't want to deal with flashing a new rom) so I restored some of the files I had modified but accidentally left the one file that allows writing to...

Before my Marshmallow update I was getting a nice long vibrate for system notifications. Now I'm getting a very weak, quick double vibrate. Want to go back to long vibrate. Any easy fix?

Hi This phone is available at almost half the price of Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F at this website and I have been unable to find out what is the difference between the two versions. I am interested in this phone but not sure if this will work. Anyone with any tips please? Thanx Max

Hello - My wife and I both got upgraded to Marshmallow last month. On her phone she will get a voicemail and the notification icon sticks even if she saves it. So I went to the voicemail app in settings...and it's disabled and is grayed out so I cannot enable it (mine is enabled and working...

Galaxy S5 Model: SM-G900V SKU: SMG900VZKV Was *not* rooted. Was *not* attempting to root. But it acts like that's the case. Here's where I stand: Can not boot into recovery mode. When I hold Volume-Up + Power + Home from "off" I get the famliar buzz in the hand (maybe two) and then the...

I loaded TSF Launcher Prime to test it out. Well, two things. One I can't get it to let me go back to my stock launcher as default. Two, I can't uninstall it, I have tried going through my application manager, no luck. Installed a third party app and that didn't work either. Any suggestions??

Since upgrading my S5 to Marshamallow/Android 6, I have regular periods without mobile reception or GPS. Around 35% of the time there is no connection. I use Google Maps when driving and my phone regularly struggles with searching for GPS messages. Can anyone help?

My phone did a factory reset because somehow my pin code wasn't recognized and I lost my last conversation with my grandma (who passed away two weeks ago) and years worth of photos and journal entries. So, I've been trying to restore that data with little success. Verizon customer service (which...

Anyone got any Galaxy S6 rom port for Samsung SM G900F

I have had nothing but problems with my S5 since purchased. My phone goes from 4g to nothing. The only way to get it working again is turning it off the back on. Also times my phone can't receive or call out but can text. In first month verizon had me factory reset my phone 3 times, the got a...

I just used the Flashfire app to perform a Nandroid backup (that's right, a BACKUP, not a restore!). After reboot it stays on the boot animation for longer than normal and then comes to a black screen and I start getting force close after force close. Eventually the force closes finish, but...

I was having performance issues on my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900W8. I made a back up on Kies, then reset factory settings, then restored the back up and it was all good except for the old whatsapp messages which were all lost. I had some important information on them so I needed the old messages...

I was using my phone one day and it just started restarting. It kept on restarting over and over again. When I plugged in the charger, the phone stopped restarting. What is the problem with the phone and what should I fix?

Hi Everyone, I searched for this answer but couldn't find one. I have a galaxy s5 from ATT running the latest update, stock. I used to use a 1/8th plug to get my audio to my car stereo, and this would also put my speakerphone over the stereo when speakerphone was activated. I recently...

I do not want a program to open it because I see the ribbons etc. from the program. I just want to get a simple photo from my phone to my pc . I used to just connect the usb cable and open Galaxy till I saw the photo then switched but clicking on Galaxy does nothing now. TY

For some reason, totally random, I don't recall doing anything big that would make this happen, but my Samsung Galaxy S5 won't charge on my computer using a usb cable. It's got nothing to do with the actual USB ports on my computer or the cord, or the phone itself, because it works perfectly on...

Hey! After my update to Marshmallow, my battery draines pretty d*mn good. I have heard that the soloution is to do a factory reset. (I did that once on my S2, worked perfect) But I don't feel so much by doing that. As it takes times to do all settings, install all apps etc. So I'm woundering...

I have a rooted S5 running Lollipop. Followed the instructions here to upgrade to Marshmallow and keep root, but I can't get past the splash screen with the Samsung logo. Here's the rundown: I flashed the deodexed and debloated 6.0.1 ROM with FlashFire and set reboot mode to download. It...

Hello, I am considering getting an S5 because the price is right - as opposed to getting a new budget phone, like the BLU One Life X. Will the older S5 (which has similar RAM, storage as the One Life X) still be able to run today's apps given the older OS (or not be able to for any other...
