Hi, just got my S5 yesterday, can anyone tell me how I can stop it automatically downloading updates, I just want to install updates I choose. Phil
 
Head into the Play Store, swipe over to settings, and the second setting is Auto-Update apps. You should have three settings and the top one is to turn it off.
 
It will only apply to apps in the Google Play Store. I don't have an S5 so not sure about the Samsung App Store (if there is one). But I'd imagine there's a similar setting in there as well.
