Samsung Galaxy S5 (octa-core)

There is no option of 4G in this mobile how can i use 4G in this mobile?

Anonymous

And it has many things: 2g,3g,wifi,amoled,removable battery,compact size,infrared,heartrate sensor,fingerprint,ip67,touch sensitivity and atleast it has marshmallow. So don't worry just for lte. Even lte will be outdated after 5G launch

ABU

only thing it lacks is lte :(

Original-Ghanaian

It has been sorted out,i'm now back at the original touchwiz launcher,all i had to do was to uninstall the other touchwiz launcher through the ''Application manager'' seettings tab. Now to the usually Galaxy s5 talks,anyone wanting to buy any mid-range (in 2017 context) smartphone and is not planning to be changing smartphones so regularly should definitely try the Galaxy s5 or the Note 4; because their heart can always be replaced (that's their battery....lol) .All these new sealed-in smartphone do make swapping a long worn-out battery a problem (Go to OEM's centre to replace a battery AT A COST and all the issues that comes with being given a defective unit in replace)

Original-Ghanaian

Thanks Original-Jamaican..... i'm in a bit rock and a hard place ; i installed a non-compatible touchwiz home which is now messing up my home screen,can't use my home screen,it's not stable for me to use,can you use a good file explorer and back-up your touchwiz home system app for me ,counting on you bro.

To Original-Ghanaian: My friend I'm not surprised you used my name though it may be the first time you have done it...I realised a long time ago that I am the inspiration behind your name 'Original-Ghanaian'. Nothing is wrong with a little inspiration. On the topic of phones, the only reason why I wouldn't go for a Note 4 is because of it's size. The S5 is a near perfect fit for me. The Note 4 is an exceptional smartphone just like the S5, and like the S5, the Note 4 is the last best flagship to date.

Things I do to my Galaxy S5 exynos that makes it run smoothly, I always keep the internal storage less clustered I have 6.4GB of free internal as I speak.Others might have many apps on their phone but to have a smooth machine you should have enough internal storage, not have so so many social media apps processes runnning at the background and also making sure you properly exit apps so they don't stay in the ram for long. Secondly with the battery, mine has started to age, I do not always charge to 100% so not to always stress it , and I take good care not to over charge the battery.I get 3hrs and some minute of SOT out of the 100% charge on a typical day, which involves a lot of opera mini and whatsapp, these are the only apps I frequently use (as I use Facebook on opera mini) Thirdly with performance I would say it's a mixed feelings as I feel the galaxy s5 exynos could do better, nevertheless it's powerful,it has handled e'vry game I've thrown to it's so I'm quite satisfied, performance is quite good regardless of what some benchmark might say , I'm planning to get a new battery because I haven't changed her battery since I got it on 27th Nov 2015 I'm still planning on keeping it to 2018 that's if I still available new batteries to buy, in my opinion batteries are the heart of a smartphone so making them removable are always the best options, and moreover battery cells get worn-out with constant usage and charging so the need to make them removable. I would recommend it, well solely based on the removability of the battery and it's powerful camera picture quality. my next upgrade ? A note 4 (because of it's 32GB internal storage and it's beefier gpu model, the exynos version ) So positives about the Galaxy s5 exynos ; 1. Good general performance, superb good camera 2. Ok battery life (it really depends upon your usage) 3. REMOVABLE BATTERY (get a new one if old is trouble)

AnonD-1385

Undoubtedly the best and fastest phone I have ever had. Even after nearly three years of use, the battery is still chugging along nicely. I'm not getting the 5-6 hours of On Screen Time (OST) like I use to get when I just got the phone but I can easily get a few hours just the same, sometimes 2 1/2 hours sometimes more than 3 hours. The proprietary Samsung browser uses very little power. I'm constantly impressed at how it barely uses any power...over Wi-Fi while on Facebook, it takes 5 minutes - 7 minutes before it loses a percent. I was shocked the other day when it took 12 minutes at one point before a percent was depleted while browsing around on Facebook. Visiting other websites using the Samsung browser generally yields the same results. If I should conduct a test using the built-in Samsung browser ONLY after fully charging my battery it would be interesting to see how much OST I would get. I'm sure at least 4 hours if not more. Even internet telephony doesn't consume a whole lot. For instance, a one hour Whatsapp call generally consumes 10% of battery power, sometimes 12% and sometimes 13%. Of course it all depends on what is happening in the background while you are on a call. The Samsung browser is just amazing and the Galaxy S5 is totally amazing. I see no reason to upgrade (or downgrade) as I still consider it the best smartphone to date.

AnonD-1385

To ORIGINAL-GHANAIAN: I am yet to receive the August update. The ONLY reason I haven't opted for the Note 4 is because of the huge size. I'm NOT a fan of phablets but I do like the Note 4, I really do. It got an excellent rating in GSMArena's loudspeaker test however, a few persons on the Note 4 forum said that the loudspeaker isn't so loud anymore ever since they upgraded to Marshmallow so if you purchase it maybe you want to get one running KitKat or Lollipop. Keep us posted my friend.

ORIGINAL -GHANAIAN

Hi e'vryone , has anyone tried the August security update yet, for a positive feedback I always back up my stuffs and reformat ma phone after e'vry security update once in a while I get any security update. I heard android 7.0 just landed on the s5 neo, and no the original s5 is not going to receive the android 7.0 too because it has gotten TWO OFFICIAL update already since it was first launched . I'm planning on getting a note 4 exynos since it has a removable battery, yeah I might as well get use to the non-removable battery era now...but I will have more good times with the note 4 just I'm having with the s5.....quite satisfied with it..I don't bog it down with many apps and I certainly don't leave many apps running in the background , useless I'm really multitasking.Hope u all well in the mobile space.

To Likeswhisky: Ok I don't know why you are experiencing problems. Mine is basically perfect. Which version of Android do you have on yours? I have the G900H factory unlocked version running Marshmallow.

Quite surprised seeing all the comments about fluidity. Mine has so much lag it's unbearable. I even hard reset it and it's no better. Even opening the phone dialer can take even upto 2 secs.

Galaxy S5(exynos) was released in India for Rs. 51000 (~ $800). I have bought this phone last year for Rs.12000 (~ $188). Only negative was the old software and the lack of support for it. Anyway i updated it to marsmallow(stock touchwiz) and reset the phone. It is running smoothly ever since. For this price, it has waterproofing, a great camera(for this price segment) and also removable battery.

AnonD-1385

To Original -Ghanaian: My friend I have never heard of an A5 having a 5.7 so I double checked and saw where it has a 5.2" screen. Double check the model again and tell me which model you were referring to.

AnonD-1385

To SHAKIL: Which update are you talking about?

AnonD-1385

To Original -Ghanaian: I don't like extra large phones meaning 5.5 and up (unless it's a bezeless 5.5 S8 style). Anyway, going for a A5 (2016) due to it's 5.7 is not worthy in my book. I would prefer going for a Note 4. Much more features minus the radio plus OIS and all stabilisation you could ever want.

Shakil

After update the s5 is rock. ..

Original -Ghanaian

I hope we also get the battery optimization, and device stability update the Note 4 just received .To put it out there ; I was actually about to start saving for a new Samsung phone , during the investigations I had settled down on the galaxy A5 (2016). Why ? because it had all I wanted in a smartphone ; fm radio, a fairly large screen (5.7') , a huge capacity battery (3300 Mah) a compact-slim profile (7.9mm or so) and above all a 2015 favourite chips the, Exynos 7240......BUT ! I got really disappointed with the lack of video stabilization , no gyroscope sensor meant no software enabled video stabilization. Yes the video footage I've investigated are pretty bad,really shaky like the new A series 2017. I really like my camera quality and video output to be best as I like videoing and taking pictures.So the only choice as usual is to jump on Samsung "buy a flagship to get premium features" train and get myself an s7, but just because of it's camera nothing else.

AnonD-1385

No idea whatsoever my friend.

Vishu

When Samsung pay will arrive in S5 any idea?

AnonD-1385

To Original-Ghanaian: You can throttle the CPU by yourself by enabling the POWER SAVING feature...not the Ultra Power Saving one...the regular one which still allows you to do everything in colour but at a lower CPU clock speed.

Original-Ghanaian

To : Original Jamaican Really,it did free up more storage ? i also had the February security update long ago,just recently i formatted my phone,cleared caches and when i checked my available storage (without installing any apps) i had 9.9GB surprisingly.But apart from that nothing bad to write about,i wish the march security update improves throttling of the cpu cores more further so less strain on battery,let's say 1.8GHZ as max :-)

AnonD-1385

The last update I received for my S5 (February patch) was a cool one. It cleaned up my storage. Before the update, 7.60GB storage space was used up. After the update it went down from 7.60GB to 7.13GB. That's basically a 500MB trim. All of my personal files were still in tact so I have to commend Samsung for doing a wonderful job with these updates. Each update seems to improve the device better whether it be in speed or more storage not to mention secure the device against the latest threats. It's a win win situation any way you look at it.

Vishu

Thanks for sharing. I also got Google Assistant update.

AnonD-1385

It's funny how the basically three year old S5 features 4k 2160p video recording and it's just now most of the competition is catching up. For example, the Huawei P10 flagship which just got released in this month is the first in the P series line to have 4K video recording. It took Huawei three years to catch up Samsung in the video recording department. I have always said that the Galaxy S lead by example. The Galaxy S always contains more features than the average consumer needs which is a good thing anyway you look at it.

Funny thing is Mr. Trump does actually use a Samsung Galaxy (although it's a S3)! :P

AnonD-1385

It's funny how a lot of people criticised the S5 before it's initial release and after it's release. Some competing manufacturers said the back of the S5 looked like a big band-aid among other things. I found myself criticising it too mainly for the SAR rating until I got my very own which had a more acceptable SAR rating. All in all despite the criticisms the S5 turned out to be the best Galaxy S to date. It's the last of the series with a removable battery and the ONLY model with USB 3.0 and the list goes on. I see many persons out there begging Samsung to bring back certain features the S5 has. I'm a proud owner of a Galaxy S5.

disappointed with SG900H model, this phone does not support LTE 4G, i bought it for 40K indian rupees, i could not used it for 2 years even. models which are released in 10K range better than Galaxy S5 hate to hear that.

Josephkarthic

This is why its never a good idea to update any phone to the so called recent updated version...I learned this back in 2011 with Note 1...Once u update the original fast is gone..also we dont get much features in updated version...for example the recent android uses white background instead of peaceful black backgrounds...

Anonymous

In my opinion Samsung is trying to make galaxy s5 worse by making it laggy. You can see that galaxy s5 with KitKat is more fast and less battery drain than marshmallow. and force customers to buy newer phones which announced in 2016 and 2017.also you can notice that you can't downgrade your phone because of security patches they applied.

After using Marshmallow for more than a month I'm ready to give a seasoned review. Battery life is the biggest concern for every smartphone user. Marshmallow does offer better battery life at least from my perspective. My S5 octa-core (G900H) is 2 years and 2 weeks old as of today. I am using the original battery that came with the phone and I'm still able to get a full day of fairly heavy usage before charging. When I first installed Marshmallow, I would lose 1% of battery power after 2 minutes when browsing via Wi-Fi. However, I got to understand that the OS was studying my usage pattern and after a weel or so I saw improved battery life courtesy of the Doze Mode battery optimiser. After the OS and Doze Mode completed studying my usage pattern, I was able to access the Doze Mode feature once and for all after which I commanded Doze Mode to put ALL apps to stop running when the phone is sleeping. Only about two crucial apps cannot be put to sleep which is fine by me. After Doze Mode was set up, in using Wi-Fi, battery now loses 1% of power usually after 5 minutes of browsing. Not bad for a 2 year old battery. Now that the battery is out of the way I will talk about the other changes. Like I mentioned in my hands on review sometime ago, you have to input the password after a restart before you can use your fingerprint to unlock the phone. It seems annoying at first but eventually you get used to it. The overall speed of the S5 is much faster (providing you did a factory reset and wipe system cache). The UI is clean and smoother. The lag I use to see in the CALL LOG is no longer there and bringing up the dialler is much faster (even faster than the iphone 6 as I tested against with my co-worker's iphone on Saturday). Marshmallow provides greater speed than KitKat and Lollipop. My biggest gripe with Marshmallow is the way it handles the sending of e-mail. When an e-mail was sent previously you would see the word 'E-mail sent' in the status bar where the time time is shown right above the notification panel. Now you have to pull the notification panel down and if you are fast enough to pull it down before it is sent you will see E-mail sent in the notifications before it disappears one second after. If you look quick enough you may see an e-mail icon in the status bar with am arrow attached but that also disappears one second after. I send e-mails every day and the older method of seeing when mails were sent was useful. Nowadays I go to the sent folder more often to see if my mails were actually sent. Other than the e-mail gripe I really don't have a problem with Marshmallow. I would recommend it to every S5 user.

My Review After Using MM Stock OS & Custom OS I have my S5 G900H From the day it was launched, its 2 years now and its a good phone out in the market for those who wants more features like IR Blaster, and tons of sensors In Stock MM rom with Some Bloatware apps removed i get around 12hrs charge on high usage. Stock kernel is the reason for device to heat up and lag In my Custom OS Like " Wanted Rom v7.0 "-( Full S7Edge Port Rom ) From XDA Site, I get a good Battery life of around 22 hrs on medium usage and 14 hrs on high usage With Custom Kernel - " GreenApple Kernel v1.0 " This gives device a good battery backup and Lag free. With Note 7 roms device is consuming more juice so S7edge port roms are good for s5 g900h as per my experiance I recommend this device to the ones who wants more good features whic samsung removed in their newer devices Its Still a good device and even after 2 years samsung still gives monthly updates to it Now it has October 1 security patch on it. Its cost is also cheaper now in sites like flipkart its sold for around 15k only so its a affordable phone with some good specs. Good luck From Yash92Duster - XDA Senior Member

In charging my phone today for the first time on a empty battery, I was shocked to see the battery reach 84% after 1 hour of charge. Prior to this update 1 hour of charge would replenish the battery by 71%. Has this happened to anybody else? I'm wondering if it's an improvement in the update or my battery is acting up and going bonkers (smile).

To KILLERKISHORE713: Standby time is better. Usage times is only better if you activate DOZE MODE for all apps and processes as well as the BATTERY OPTIMISATION feature. Both of these settings can be found in the built-in battery menu.

AnonD-1385

The camera quality is the same if not better and the camera opens faster too. There are cases where it opens in less than a second...sometimes.

AnonD-1385

To STEEVAN: The problem may very well be your memory card. Take out the memory card and see if the gallery opens faster.

To STEEVAN: Do you have a memory card in your S5?

AnonD-1385

To KILLERKISHORE713: I too have S5 octa-core. Expect more overall speed, greater smoothness, loudspeaker seems louder. You will be prompted to give apps permission at least upon first run. Some apps you will have to give permission on several occasions. If you register your fingerprint you will be required to manually enter your password upon restarting the S5. It's a Marshmallow thing. RAM management is said to better but for me it's a hit and miss. Sometimes RAM seems to be managed perfectly other times it doesn't seem that way. It seems like the management part goes to sleep at times. The upgrade is worth it. Just remember to CLEAR SYSTEM CAHCE and do a FACTORY RESET after upgrading for best possible performance.

AnonD-1520

Never Bro, Reason 1 This phone was launched with Android Kitkat and got two major update (Lollipop and Marshmallow) so no more updates as no phone in Android got more than two major update (Not even Google Nexus). Reason 2: Phone launched with two variant Snapdragon(s801 soc) and Exynos Soc. Unfortunately OpenGL ES 3.1(GPU feature) is required for Android Nougat, Since only Exynos SOC (Octa core variant) only support this but not Snapdragon variant s801 SOC (Not samsung fault here, this type Qualcomm screwed with us, even Sony has to drop support for Z3 series even after release beta version of Nougat ).

I have my S5 for ONE YEAR and TEN MONTHS and the battery has never failed me. I'm using Marshmallow and while the battery life was mediocre at first (without power saving turned on) it's now much better. From what I gather, Marshmallow studies your usage habits and executes the power as best as possible based on your usage habits. I can easily get 20 hours or more of fairly heavy daily use. Yesterday after 13-14 hours I still had more than 50% of battery life left. I have no need to work with my charger to work. Maybe I can give you a few battery saving tips. Turn off automatic updates from the Playstore. Turn of all the motion gestures and sensors. Turn off Wi-Fi, Data, Bluetooth and any other radio you aren't using like NFC etc. Disable things like My Magazine/Flipboard, S-Voice and other stuff if you don't use. By the way, disabling S-Voice will give you faster response when using the Home button. In Wi-Fi mode go to advance settings and disable Wi-Fi always on when sleeping. Set it to never. Finally set your screen brightness to the absolute minimum which is comfortable to your eye. There are more power saving tips but I shared the major ones with you. Experiment and see if you can find more. In the nearly two years I have had my S5, it has never hung, crashed nor freeze. It stalled one or two times but I never had to do a battery pull in order to use back the phone. My S5 has been flawless and still going strong. Please give me a feedback and let me know the outcome after trying my tips. In regards to the phone you are planning on getting 'galnot 7'...I have never heard of it. I will research it though. Take care my friend.

Hi All, i have ordered the S5 in India as intially the price was Rs.51,000 when it was launched, now it is currently sold for Rs.13,999 (~ $208). I needed a compact phone with AMOLED screen and a good camera so it fits the bill perfectly and that too at this cost. So which OS is better for the S5, kitkat 4.4.2 or Lollipop 5.0 or Marshmallow 6.0.1 ?

Rajawali

After 2 days, S5 with MM getting worse for the battery. I've to charge 3-4 times a day. From 100% only about 3-4 hours to 20-30%, draining the battery, was thingking about reformating. After days 6, i got update apps from google play store, suddenly everything getting better. For standby still gorgeous but if i've to use it even with daily use still acceptable even not sattisfied. Maybe problem with 3G coverage or maybe doze in MM is good? I just charge twice a day. Like now still 56% after 10 hours 19 mins. In lollipop sometimes i got hang after i updated apps from play store which i've to take the battery out, after MM everything just back to normal. Never get hang after update apps from play store. Camera is everything normal. Even the selective focus is working normally. I'm thinking to trade in with galnot 7 which 4G supporting, better camera, bigger memory, bigger internal memory, bigger battery 3.500 mAh.

I had an"insert sim card" error on my phone, sometimes almost everyday so I took the phone in to local Samsung Repair Centre. Apparently quite a common fault on S5. They had the phone for 1 day and repaired it under the ADH claim as a water damage claim. It hasn't been near water but as ADH Warrantee gives me either 2 water damage or 2 cracked screen repairs I allowed them you use 1 claim. They replaced almost everything in the phone- motherboard, both cameras, charging port and cover; Co axial cable and some other things. All free of charge. Phone is working fine now and feels like new. 2 weeks since repair and the sim card error hasn't reappeared. Phone is 2 years old in Dec 2016.

My s5 after 6.1 battery is draining too much Soo please any expert have any solution

AnonD-1385

I just started using Marshmallow on my S5...it's not even a day yet but I will share my preliminary findings so far. The Marshmallow operating system is really fast ONLY if you do a CLEAR CACHE and FULL WIPE DATA FACTORY RESET otherwise it may perform slower than a snail. Battery life is BETTER. At first it seemed to be worse but I got to understand that the smartphone was studying my usage habits...it states it when you open the battery app. Battery life definitely got better in no time. I haven't even gotten access to the Doze feature as yet due to Marshmallow studying my usage pattern and the battery life is already better. I normally use POWER SAVING with KiKat and Lollipop but I'm not doing so with Marshmallow as I want to test out the biggest claim that graced Marshmallow, better battery life. There also seems to be some new features like continuos low energy consumption bluetooth scanning for nearby devices for this and that...which can be disabled. I have left that feature on for the time being. Most importantly this is the smoothest I have ever seen the S5. It's smoother than butter now but there seems to be a bug as the system audible notifications are low in volume which also goes for the shutter sound in the camera...I can live with that. Regular notifications like Whatsapp, sms etc. are very loud, probably louder than before. Calling volume seems to be louder than before as well...I was on a whatsapp call earlier on loudspeaker and even though the volume was turned down to less than half it was still loud. There is a lot to like based on my preliminary findings. WHAT I DON'T LIKE: If you have enabled fingerprint unlocking, after a restart you have to enter your unlock password. You will then get to use your fingerprint when the phone goes back into lock state. I don't see the logic behind that but maybe Samsung knows best. I liked the idea of having a vibrate effect once the fingerprint scanner recognise your finger. This feature was introduced in Lollipop. It was a nice feature because you could close your eyes and unlock your phone, or simple not have to look at your S5 screen to see if it got unlocked as once you felt the vibration after running your fingers over the scanner, that simply meant your phone was unlocked. Well, with Marshmallow whether or not your fingerprint is recognised there's a vibration...so it's back to KitKat days where you have to look at your S5 to see if it was unlocked. Apart from those two gripes which I can live with, Marshmallow so far seems to be greater than KitKat and Lollipop. I will give a full review in the near future...even though this may have seemed like a full review (smile).

AnonD-1385

To ORIGINAL-GHANAIAN: No problem my friend. I will give a thorough review as soon as I have used it enough. One thing I can tell you though, it has software traces of the S7 eg, the way the SAMSUNG name appears on the screen when the phone is starting up. Click 'the PLAY button for the video in this link to see what I'm talking about in regards to the similarity of the S5 now starting up like the S7. No startup music anymore but I can live with that.

To EVERYONE who upgraded to Marshmallow (Android 6.0) what is the total capacity size of the internal memory? I have the 16GB S5. When I got my S5 with KitKat the total capacity was 11.45GB. When I upgraded to Lollipop it got reduced to 10.33GB. Seeing that the OTA version of Marshmallow is smaller than Lollipop I'm wondering if the capacity is higher than 10.33GB. All responses are appreciated.

lainedeer

The update is ridiculous. There are no pros to this update on my phone. My phone battery drains after a few hours since it updated. It lags worse than my old laptop even when doing simple things like typing a short word into a text. Some apps were added that I don't need, others I had uninstalled months ago were suddenly reinstalled and running, and the widgets changed and screwed up my screen layouts.

Original-Ghanaian

Just a thought ; I'm really sure this 6.0 marshmallow update will be the s5's last,I was wondering has any one with the 6.0 update tried installing the Galaxy s6 & s7 game launcher apk ? I heard it allows you to reduce the screen resolution of your device to 720p when gaming.

Some users of galaxy S5 have found a small bug in this update!! The lock screen sometimes doesn't seem to turnoff when you get a msg i.e., until you press the power off button, the display doesn't turn of its own as it should be!! This can cause significant battery drain!! If you are facing the same problem, I have found a fix for this!! Just remove the peel remote widget from the lock screen or disable the peel remote app!! Now the lock screen will turnoff automatically after sometime a msg comes and it also saves a lot of battery too!!

I have updated my galaxy s5 via OTA update on 15th of June. After using the phone for 6 days, these are my pros and cons of this Marshmallow update!! Pros: 1) The battery has been improved compared to lollipop maybe because of Doze!! Previously My phone used to drain 4 to 5% of the battery over the night on standby with WiFi on continuously!! Now, it is draining only 2% over the night!! 2) Fingerprint scanner is a bit quicker compared to lollipop!! 3) The icons and new look is decent!! 4) The phone works very smoothly just like it used to work in lollipop and some of the apps like games were opening quickly compared to lollipop!! Cons: 1) No themes support like in S6 or S7's!! It would have been nice if themes are added!! Although we can get the theme store if we root the phone, I don't want to!! 2) I noticed the camera app is loading a bit slower (not much difference, but it is somewhat noticeable) compared to Lollipop!! Although the picture clarity is almost the same as before!! 3) Whenever I restart the device, It asks for the backup password and not fingerprint!! This is apparently a new feature of Marshmallow in Samsung devices!! So, we can't do much about it!! PS: I haven't factory reset the phone after the update like all are saying to do and my phone still works fine!! I just cleared the cache before and after the update thats all!! So, overall, this is a decent update with marshmallow features although nothing much has changed significantly!!

I also have MM in s5 INS but none of your problem like Screen flickering, Camera focus, MX crashing (Assuming you have latest version) exist.Also MM for exynos available from 23 may and non of your above problem has been mentioned in xda and other forum. Now Reason.... It seems like update (since you did from kies with full ROM image , dirty flash would be appropriate word) has messed up with driver and blobs of your device hardware (Particularly GPU driver , mediaserver, camera blobs) Now I'm not that positive about again Factory reset would solve the problem but do it again for a try (10% chances that it'll solve the all above problem). Solution. 1) Do a factory reset for a try (I know you did it but do it again) 10% chance for problem to be solved. 2) If your phone is in warranty then go to service center & tell them about screen flickering and camera focusing problem & others. First two problem is sufficient for them to repair your phone (By re flashing the whole ROM or changing the motherboard or Replacing the phone with other unit). 3) If phone is in warranty but you do not want to go service centre for whatever reason, Download the odin(Samsung flashing tool leaked in internet) and download the G900H INS version Rom from sammobile firmware section. Assuming you know all the risk of flashing through odin, flash and factory reset it (80% chance it'll solve your problem). 4) Not in warranty, then call(post in their facebook, twitter page) the Samsung care and tell them after official MM update your phone is experiencing screen flickering and camera problem & tell them to repair it free of cost as it is not you doing. 5) If they rejected your request (out of warranty period) even after calling their senior management or emails, you have one option left. Use odin to flash official firmware OR Root your phone, flash TWRP , flash custom rom for G900H model (from xda like Skyrocket ROM , AJ's ROM). DO above steps assuming u reformatted(factory reset) your phone (for second time). About battery problem :- For me battery life has been improved a lot after MM update specially ideal time (Screen off time) & Approx. 10% improvement in Screen On time. Normally after new update you have to give like three or four full cycle of charging -discharging. MM has Doze and app standby features that will surely increase battery life. But they need approx a week to learn your usage pattern to do optimisation, so wait. Another possibility of poor battery life is some rough app is consuming you battery by keeps awake your phone, do update to your all apps to latest version. Or,maybe ur battery old (like 1-2 year old & need new battery replacement (For replacing battery go to service center & use official one as in online market 99.9% battery is fake samsung even if they have samsung logo and looks like original). About App compatibility App compatability goes upward not downward in Android. Total no of Marshmallow supported app= Total no of lollipop compatible app + apps exclusive for Android 6.0 or above (Upcoming android N). Yeah if you have android gingerbread or froyo then app compatibility is a problem as lots of app (and google play service ) support Android 4.1 and above

Have u done a factory reset?? If not.....do it and then post ur comment.......dont spread rumours

AnonD-84990

I have updated my Samsung Galaxy S5(INS) to Marshmallow via Kies and I downloaded 1384Mb to download the Marshmallow update. My friendly advice to those who haven't updated to Marshmallow yet.... Please don't update. Pros: Device is performing faster than before, Finger print is working faster, New icons. Cons : Poor battery backup, lots of bugs like screen flickering, Camera focus is not working properly, very less apps supporting marshmallow, call recorder not working, MX player crashing etc.

Finally got the Marshmallow update via OTA on 14.06.2016 ( Mumbai ). Installed on my S5 & now phone looks like new. Thanks samsung.

yes, My phone is INS G900h; yesterday i downloaded kies (35MB) and then connected my phone. It downloaded the 6.0.1 update and installed. No data was erased as misquoted previously by someone i.e. while updating from KIES there was no format of phone. Though My phone was lagging initially and then I did a hard reset.

AnonD-517065

Kies is desktop software (you can download it by searching kies v3 in google). But i do not recommend it to you as OTA will be available within 2-3 days (Today is Holiday, Generally company do not push ota's in weekends and holidays) so maybe tomorrow or day after tommorowo it will be available through ota.

AnonD-517065

It means Factory reset(It'll delete all your data installed app media.Do backup of internal data and remove the sd card before formatting.If you do update through kies then it'll Automatically delete all your data.

I don't know how to update with kies ....plz one help me

AnonD-543953

Thanks alot hrishi..But can U pls tell me What does clean install means,so that I can Do it after updating.

AnonD-517065

Clean install or factory reset after update as it is a big update and their will be high probability that it ll create some problem after uodate like poor battery life or hanging or overheat

AnonD-517065

If you update through kies it will download whole rom image not OTA that's why 1.3GB size & it also wipe data. And the one you will get through ota is only partial rom image which will not erase data. So choice is yours. But I'll recommend you to clean install or factory reset

AnonD-84990

I have SGS5 (G900H) .....INS version. I am also waiting for Marshmallow update. I am from Kolkata, West Bengal, India. I heard that Marshmallow update is available for INU models only. Those who don't the difference between INU & INS, then let me clear it out for those. INU Model- Made outside India but marketed in India. INS Model- Made in India & marketed in India only. So, according to priority the INU models will get update earlier than INS models. Samsung is the biggest smartphone supplier in India but when it comes to update their models, India comes last. Samsung always releases its updates to Korea first and after providing updates to all over the World, they release updates for India & that too in INU...INS.....blah....bla.....blah........& if the same continues then Samsung will gradually loose it's market in India which is one of the biggest market for Samsung. Samsung must take a note on this before releasing new smartphones because customers are already migrating to other brands which are cheaper and also providing regular updates to the customers who valued them. SGS5 will get update when Nexus devices will get Android 7(N).......So my dear SGS5 users please hang on, because that's all we can do but I am migrating to other. Ha....Ha....Ha...

To ORIGINAL-GHANAIAN: It's been a while since I have heard from you. I trust you have been reading my posts. I have heard it time and time again about how Jellybean 4.3 messed up the Galaxy S3. Based on the reviews I have seen about the S5 with Marshmallow, everything or at least most things seems to be better. I really like Lollipop with it's material design. I hope I will be just as impressed with Marshmallow. I'm looking forward to your Marshmallow review, as well as anyone else here who updates to Marshmallow and willing to give us their feedback.

When is the MM update for s5 G900H(INS)in India???

Original -Ghanaian

To : Original-Jamaican I see some promisingly positive reviews about the marshmallow update, I really hope this is not going to turn up like the 'galaxy s3' 4.3 update (that nearly ruined the performance and battery usage of the phone).But my advice and question, first my advice if you want a smooth fluid experience after any update PLEASE DO A FACTORY RESET (from experience )an example my G900h did not have the USB 3.0 enabled in the options when you plug it into a pc UNTIL I 'UNKNOWINGLY' DID A FACTORY RESET now I can copy those movie files when I'm going out. And my most important question to : Jt K and Samah Sir how is the battery usage,(I get 4hr plus some minutes anytime,on lollipop ) and the performance status, especially when one is scrolling through the 'recent apps' stacks,my apologies for such long post...lol I will post a review here in case I mine first in Ghana Original-Jamaican.

AnonD-1385

To SAMEH SIR: Thank you for replying. You seemed to have read my mind, I was wondering how many RAM would have been free on average. In fact I was planning on asking you that question. 0.9MB is excellent and 1.4GB after opening 10 apps is very good. I really appreciate your input.

thanks for your replay i will explain some point : 1- the ultra power saving already existing not removed 2- i also don't face any heat issue on the 3 firmware ( k , L, M) 3- the phone after clear ram it will be ( 0.9mb / 1.75 mb) and with app ( 1.1 gb/1.75 ) by any way it don't exceed 1.4 gb with more than 10 app is open 4- battery usage : screen time on average 6-7 hours , 50% brightness on wi-fi without playing , only browsing , chatting , play music , calls 5- fingerprint on android 5.0 = 70% , on android 6.0.1 = 95% really more sensitive

Ultra Data saving mode is a gimmick. You can use Opera Max from play store, which is same as ultra data saving mode in latest galaxy phone (ultra data saving mode is powered by opera max so it's same whether you download it from play store or pre installed in newer galaxy phones.

To JT K: Is there still a vibration after the fingerprint is recognised. That was a nice feature that Lollipop introduced.

Anonymous

Your location? Of the update

AnonD-232159

Ultra power saving mode is present after mm update......further the fingerprint sensor lagged a bit in lollipop but after mm update the phone unlocks instantly( note: it also depends on how u register ur fingerprint i.e it should be registered from each and every angle of the finger)

AnonD-1385

To SIR: My S5 was great with KitKat and even better with Lollipop and I never faced and heating issue unless I was playing an intensive 3D game or using some intensive app. My phone is always on power saving maybe that's why I don't face heat like most of you. Nevertheless thanks for the info. First and foremost I like what you said about more free RAM, memory is crucial...I look forward to the extra RAM when I get the update. Secondly I like the idea of fast multi-tasking...which might be a result of the extra free RAM and thirdly it would be nice to really see fast camera capture as you know life's precious moments can pass you by in an instant. I never really had an issue with the fingerprint scanner though sometimes it would act up but overall it worked well enough....still nice to see you say " finger print awesome , very very fast ". I'm looking forward to that. I heard that the Ultra Power Saving Mode is now gone but that doesn't matter to me much as I never really used it. Maybe once, twice or thrice but that was it. Too much black and white started getting to me and I honestly don't see where the battery lasted much longer as the S5 is already great at minimal battery use. The S5 was the best smartphone in 2014 and it may very well be the best smartphone once again in 2016 with the Marshmallow update. I'm looking forward to it.

After using s5 sm-g900h for 15 months i can say that it's a nice phone with decent camera and hardware...the hardware has been outdated now so its better to look for some other phones instead of buying s5.. Snapdragon s5 is much better than exynos s5. My exynos s5 started to lag after 1 year..touchwiz sucks in s5..after S6 family and Note5 the touchwiz has improved a lot. I have s6 edge and s7 edge also..s5 is now given to my mom and my dad is using s6edge and i m using s7 edge..believe me the touchwiz in latest Samsung phones has been improved a lot.. So it's better to move on now. Anyway thank u. Cheers. Peace.

Hi My s5 G900h takes 2hrs to fully charge using 2.0 cable and 1hr 50min using 3.0 cable with 2amps samsung adapter. I am using WD 3.0 cable. It's better to use 2.0 or 3.0 cable only. The Wireless charging takes so much time it's not implemented properly in S5. Do a factory reset, clear cache, dalvik, data and then check if it still takes you 3hrs to fully charge.

I installed Cyanogenmod 13 custom rom in my s5 g900h, its fast and battery consumption is less it gives me more than 1 day 2. adoptable storage is available in cm13, now i adopted my 64gb sdcard with my internal 16gb now total 73gb available as internal storage 3. Small and heavy games are playable in ultra high settings without any lags and battery consumption for games is good than in stock lollipop rom Samsung will surely make us wait for another few months without giving us MM update, they suck at updates

AnonD-499492

what the hell like experiance i suffer from samsung service no 1800 266 8282 they says that i am sorry there is no information about marsmallow wtf samsung you are. you makes us fool and the other point is that i buy my s5 in $700 INR 42000 and now it is available in only $300 INR 18000 why samsung you do this thing i say why s7 now 48000 and after 1 year it will become approx 24000 i am sure thats why i dont buy s7

As per many requests about screen on time, let me share a few details: ... Device: Galaxy S5 (900H) Used for: 14 months Status: Working perfectly (Good Fingerprint scanning after recent 210 MB update), Smooth as butter, Fast just like new Issue: Only issue is battery life. When I bought it 14 months ago it was on KitKat - gave me screen on time of about 5 hr. 30 min. When I updated to Lollipop (in May) it went down to approx 4 Hr. 30 min. Now after 14 months of usage, I get screen on time of about 3 Hr. 45 min with mixed usage of Web browsing+Music+Few calls (I guess battery wear also plays a part - I am going to replace the battery soon) .... Whats ur experience?

AnonD-501073

I'm not using any custom rom or kernel. Just the original rom. I've turned off unnecessary bloatwares, vibration on keypress etc. and bluetooth, gps are also turned off if i'm not using them. But my wifi is on for 10hrs a day. Still I get full day battery. There is also an app optimisation feature in battery settings. I've enabled it for all the apps except whatsapp otherwise I won't get notifications. I use the charger and data cable provided in the box. If your battery is taking that much time to charge then get a new one coz mine charges from 0-100 in 100 min.

AnonD-499492

which type of datacable you use how much time take to full charge and how you expand your battery for whole day plz give some tips because my phone takes 3 hour to 7%to 100% and my battery backup is only 5hour screen on time which os u use help us plz

AnonD-501073

Using it for past 6 months and I've to say it's an awesome phone. Camera, battery, display everything is just too good. Add to that features like IR blaster, IP67 certification, SD card slot etc.. Only thing I don't like is the flap on USB port, but that's okay coz the battery life is very good and I only have to charge it at most once a day. So glad I didn't buy mi4 or other chinese crap coz they s**k monkey's balls

Steps for Downgrade: 1. Check your model number in about device 2. Then goto Sammobile website, login into the website, then in the firmware section search for your model and then download the correct firmware. 3. Download ODIN software also which is around 2mb.You will find it in sammobile website itself. 4. Open odin select AP (pop up opens>>choose the downloaded firmware file) wait for it load 5. Press and hold volume down + power button + home button at the same time for sometime you will see download mode saying continue use volume up button to continue,then connect it to your pc using 2.0 cable, then in odin software press start button. 5.In ODIN Auto reboot and F.Reset Time is already tick marked dont change anything 6.It takes 4 to 5 minutes for the firmware to be installed into your mobile **** I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG TO YOUR MOBILE*** ******************************DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK***************************************

how many days left for marshmallow update for s5 octa core

AnonD-1385

Well I heard that the S4 doesn't run all 8 CPUs at the same time while the S5 does. Either way it doesn't matter. There are a total of 8 CPUs in the S5 so naturally it should be regarded as octa-core.

Anonymous

But they will not work all at the same time .

Tim

2 quad-cores (4 CPU's each) = octa-cores (8 CPU's). 1x4 (quad-core) + 1x4 (quad-core) = 8 (octa-cores) And yes, if you put 2 octa-cores in your PC you would be putting in 16 cores. - Dual Core: 2 cores - Quad Core: 4 cores - Hexa Core: 6 cores - Octo Core: 8 cores - Deca Core: 10 cores

I don t understand the octa core thing , quad core cpu + quad core cpu is not octa core . If i put 2 cpu in my pc with octa core i have 16 core ?? The phone has 2 quad core cpu , not octa core cpu

To LEOTIGER: I have a S5-G900H running Lollipop 5.0. This morning right before I charged my S5-G900H the screen time was more than 5 hours (but less than 6) and the duration since the last charge was 21 hours and 23 minutes. I have owned my S5 for one year and three months. Can you imagine if my battery was brand new? I would surely get more on screen time and standby if that was the case. Not bad in my view.

AnonD-1385

To SUBPIXEL1989: The difference with the 'H' and the other variants is that the 'H' has eight CPU cores while the others have four cores but there's a tradeoff as the 'H' doesn't have LTE 4G while the others do. The reason it doesn't have LTE is because the Exynos chipset Samsung used in the 'H' isn't compatible with LTE...which Samsung was able to sort out with the S6. The other variants use snapdragon which supports LTE. I have the G900H and I couldn't care less about it not having LTE as my country doesn't have that in place. There's a never ending debate about the G900H and the G900F. All I know is that the 'H' works perfectly for me.

I'm forced to believe that prior to any unveilingredients of another flagship samsung or these OEMs send out performance-restricting and batterylower calibrated update to it's previous flagships, for the reasons that when you update it months later and see that the performance and battery status are worsening ( compared to when it came out fresh with the previous os an example is the perfect galaxy s3 i9300) you will be forced psychologically to to buy the newer flagship.

Samsung Galaxy S5’s turn now to get Google’s latest security patch for a critical vulnerability recently detected in Android OS. Samsung is rolling out an OTA software update for Galaxy S5 (and some other Android phones) which contains this security bug-fix. The update is just over 214 MB in size for unlocked International variant of Galaxy S5 (SM-G900H) here in India. The firmware carries the build-date as December 8 but the Android version still remains 5.0 Lollipop. As for the change-log, here are the official “Update details” ALERT: Patch for critical security vulnerability Battery life has been optimized Overall device performance has been improved The security of your device has been improved After updating you will not be able to downgrade to the old software because of updates to the security policy A new line under “About device” menu can be seen after the update which shows the build date of “Android security patch level”. Thus this update mainly patches the security bugs in Android which can be exploited by hackers to remotely run malicious codes and take over the device without any user interaction. Being a critical System OS update, all Android phones are expected to get this security patch sooner or later.

@Original-Jamaican, Nice to know, from your elaborated experience I think I will settle my quarrel with this 5.0 firmware update. I hope this marshmallow update is for real, and not just a vapor ware. Can you tell me the late the 'kernel version date' and 'SE for Android' dates I want to see if I'm on the latest, mine are : Monday April 20 2015 for the kernel version date and Friday 17 July 2015 for the SE for Android date.Thank much.

AnonD-1385

To Original-Ghanaian: It's nice to know that I inspire you to use a similar nickname. Big up. My nickname dates back to the 90s. I got my S5 brand new out of the box running KitKat October last year. As a new phone the battery lasted long. On average it would take 10 minutes before the battery would lose 1% while browsing the internet on Wi-Fi. In August that time decreased to around 3 minutes. I upgraded to Lollipop shortly after and on average the time before losing a percent has increased between 5-6 minutes. That's how I know Lollipop gives gives good battery life.

Bought my Galaxy s5 GM 900h official lollipop on this 27 of November, so far it has been the best of device I've had coming from an Exynos 4412 (galaxy s3) I think the octa-core variant is quiet powerful despite what others are saying about it's quad core variant.I believe the battery life was better in kit kat (even though my was originally in 5.0) because I can see long battery life in 5.0 so this convinces me that kit kat was a bit better.Regarding performance and battery life I always keep my in 'Power saving' mode and get speedy performance, I will recommend to uncheck the 'screen output' in the power saving mode to get be able to get a normal brightness production instead of the low screen brightness in give you.This machine whiles in power saving mode not only gives you speedy performance but also a better battery (let's hope marshmallow can reduce the total power consumption of the chipset to be able to UNLEASH THE 5422.Whats up Original-Jamacian. :-)

I am from Bangladesh. Sm g9ooh is a good phone but Samsung is not updating its android version. The phone is heating enough and lagging. 5.1 is awesome than 5 version of lollipop.

yash92duster

phone heats up to 40degrees while playing games n watching movies n using wifi due to phone bloatware apps only solution is to root your mobile and uninstall crap apps *** rooting the device may break your warranty***

yash92duster

Review after 1 year of using S5 g900h octa-core version ( kitkat 4.4.2 ): * Intially phone used to heat up to 40°c after rooting mobile it stays between 34°to 35°c * Can add more apps in ultra power saving mode after rooting * Battery lasts whole day and drops 2% in night * Can play all games without any lag after rooting and removing bloatware Pros: * Good battery life * IP67 :-) * Can use multiple apps in UPSM mode * Downgraded from lollipop 5.0 to kitkat 4.4.2 ( Kitkat is better than lollipop ) Cons: * Lollipop is a big con since rooting is not available. ****Root at your own risk****

I have same problem..

AnonD-84990

I am from India and I am using Samsung Galaxy S5 Octa-core (SM-G900H). Its pretty good phone, very good hardware performance. I have 2 issues with the phone. (1) Heating problem while sending/receiving big files over wifi/shareit. (2) Although I accept that Lollipop 5.0 is one of the best stable OS on Galaxy S5 considering other smartphones running on Lollipop 5.0, but the main problem of Lollipop 5.0 is that I can't move app to SD Card. All apps by default installed on phone memory which certainly decreases the phone memory because some apps have huge data. I just want to know whether Lollipop 5.1 also have same issue ? When Android Marshmallow is coming to S5 in India ? Please answer if you have the answer. Thanks. Samsung Galaxy S5 : PROS: 1) Awesome Camera 2) Super Battery....almost 9 hours of Internet browsing, watching videos online. Only 1% waste over night. 3) Stunning display colors. 4) Water & Dust Proof 5) Matt finish back cover is excellent for grip on hands unlike S6, which slips. 6) Finger print scanner & lots of other sensors like pulse rate,stress sensor etc. CONS: 1) Over-heating while sending / receiving files big files over wifi. 2) Can't move apps to SD Card. ------X------------------X----------------------­-------X----------------------X-----------------­-----------X------

Gamers are going to love this feedback. My S5 is running Lollipop 5.0. It's on power saving mode with with background data restriction enabled. I downloaded the brand new Dead Effect 2 which was released a few days ago, from the Playstore. In reading the comments from others who dowloaded it from the Playstore reviews, a few persons said it crashed or wouldn't load etc. especially if the maxed out the graphics/3D settings due to hardware limitation on their phones...People with HTC flagships like the One M8 etc. complained a lot!!! All of the CPU-cores on my S5 are running at 500MHZ which means it's running at less than half the original clockspeed due to the power saving mode with the 'limit CPU speed' enabled. I was suprised at how smooth the game runs even with all the graphics settings maxed out. They are all on Extreme etc. I have experienced no lagging, no hang-ups, no crashing and no funny behaviour whatsoever which speaks volumes about the power of the Galaxy S5. A friend of mine who is running Dead Effect 2 on iOS has to set his graphics/3D settings to medium otherwise the game will crash. The S5 is a POWERHOUSE even if it doesn't seem that way at times.

AnonD-1385

Some people talking about the S5 being cheap now. It's still quite an expensive phone. Most of the prices on E-Bay are US$400 or higher and most of the prices on Amazon are close to US$400 for a phone which isn't too far from being 2 years old that's NOT cheap as most new flagship phones are in the region of US$500-US$700.

Yes lollipop is now on this phone....it is an amazing phone and i love it. But beware of the modle that you get and where you buy it from. Some models are from China or Mexico and are crap. I am very happy with mine and mine in the octo core H model. Hope this helps!

I had LG G2 before and its far better phone in every way. but I heard that snapdragon version is a lot better. beware of this shitty version from samsung. its unusable

I bought one S5, SM-G900H in October 2014, and I am no satisfied!!!! [email protected] Big fish for a low price doesn't exist, don't forget this. Very bad phone, becareful, it seems to be good, but every day it is programmed to download different programs, porno or not, games, etc., the you uninstall but 3 minutes later they are uploaded again and the phome momorie is full. Advise: I don't know the rest of the chinese models, but this one is very bad. I have a fiernd whobought more than 40 phones of different models from Chine (Aliexpress), and it happens the same. What can I do, per haps it is worthwhile to pay a bit more for an original it is what I will do next time. (I have send many emails to Chine, the man who sold my device, but never answer..China, I'm sorry, you are very cheap but it means you have to pay many times for the same product, and it pays to pay a bit more for an original only once)

Samsung Galaxy S5 (Octa) is a very good smartphone but the main problem is Samsung's delay in updating Android 5.0 to 5.1. There is lots of difference between Android 5.0 & 5.1. I am from India and I am eagerly waiting for 5.1 update. India is a very big market for Samsung. They launch all flagship models in India but when it comes to update the OS , they just take so much time & millions of Samsung users gets frustrated.

In reply to Original-Jamaican by last longer i mean battery life will increase, if it has a life of 3 years, u will get 4 years may be if u charge it only when the battery is about fully drained

AnonD-1385

To IJAZ.ALI: Do you honestly think you will get longer battery life if you charge the battery when it reaches 10% opposed to charging it at 50% or 1%? Is this documented or proven anywhere? If so share that link or info. Lastly do you use the power saving feature on your S5?

AnonD-316697

so thats okay, i mean for a smart phone 2 days + is much better. Also charge your battery only when the battery is drained to 10 % , urbattery will last longer :)

nisam

I have used both phones.. If we compare moto x2 with Indian samsung s5, moto X2 will be the winner.. but the battery backup of moto x2 is very poor..Other wise it is ok..but if we compare moto x2 with samsung s5 4G, moto X2 is nothinge. .In early days I was used Indian s5..but now a days I am using samsung 4G. .so please go for s5 4G. .otherwise moto x2

AnonD-1385

To IJAZ.ALI: I have done most of what you have. I turned off the lights from the keys. However, I use manually brightness most of the time because I have found out the battery lasts longer that way. Auto-brightness uses the light sensor to determine what level of light to use...so in fact that will consume a bit more power. You probably get your 3 days due to you not really having much apps. I have around 20 apps and as you know most of them run in the background whether you are using them or not...and whether you are online or not/. On average I get close to 2 days or 2 days plus.

AnonD-316697

To Original-Jamaican: My s5 brightness is on auto brightness mode so that helps a lot to save the battery. beside that i havnt lot of apps installed, specially games , truth is i m not very much fond of playing games on cell phone. also i depends on usage, my uses usally are some text messaging, whatsapp, camera use. also i turned off the touch keys light.so that also helps alot ;)

AnonD-1385

To IJAZ.ALI: It's a good thing you told me the apps you use. Whatsapp is fine but somewhere I believe I read where Viber is problematic and very buggy leading to big battery drain and causing smartphones to heat up excessively. My advice to you. Wipe the phone ONE more time and ONLY install Whatsapp. See if the problem goes away after that. If the phone still heats up automatically then it's your Lollipop OS that's having the issue. Please keep me posted.

AnonD-1385

Fortunately for me ny S5 doesn't heat up automatically. If it does heat up it's when I'm using it.

AnonD-1385

To IJAZ.ALI: Maybe you have a bad behaving app also known as a rogue app. Check your battery status by going to the battery menu in settings and see what is using the most battery. If you see any app you downloaded using the most battery then more than likely that is the cause of your problem. If you don't see any app you downloaded using the most battery and you see Android System or Android OS using the most battery then that could still be a downloaded app which doesn't show in the forefront. If it's an app you downloaded and you see it using the most battery...for example Magic Jack...then uninstall it, power off your phone, start up back your phone then reinstall it from the Play Store. Chances are you will get the latest version of that app which should be problem free. If you re-download the app and the problem is solved then more than likely the problem was due to a corrupt file within that app. Also make sure your 'Play Services' is up to date. Having a older version is known to eat up more battery life when newer apps are installed. If all that fails then enable POWER SAVING MODE and select RESTRICT BACKGROUND DATA. That should cool things down. If nothing I have suggested works then you might need to WIPE your phone...that is RESETTING it to factory settings. You can do that from the BACKUP and RESET option in the menu. You can also do a HARD RESET by turning the phone off, hold down VOLUME UP, HOME KEY and POWER BUTTON. Select WIPE PARTITION CACHE and and then select DELETE ALL DATA. Please get back to me and let me know how it turned out.

AnonD-1385

Good day EVERYONE. I finally made the plunge to Lollipop even though I didn't initially plan to...as to why I did it is a long story. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT LOLLIPOP: 1. Cleaner interface. Material Design is even nicer than I thought. The white colour throughout the interface makes a difference. 2. More snappy (for the most part). 3. Longer lasting power from the battery with the right tweaks. 4.Much Faster shutdown. While KitKat took about 7-10 seconds Lollipop takes about 3 seconds. Faster shutdown also means faster restart in the event you need to restart your phone rather than shut it down. 5. Fingerprint scanner is more accurate than stock KitKat 4.4.2...though the last update to KitKat (for the G900H) seemed more accurate. 6. Fingerprint scanner lets you know your finger was recognised with a little vibration. That's a good feature because you can unlock your S5 with your finger without looking to see a confirmation. You can easily know if your S5 is unlocked or not whether you look at the scren or not. 7. More buttery feel overall. Everything just seems smoother. WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT LOLLIPOP: 1. After touching RECENT APPS you can't jump back to the HOME SCREEN by touching the left or right of the screen when the apps are shown vertically...or anywhere on the screen when they are no apps to show. 2. Seems to get hot more easily when the processor is running at full speed. There's an easy fix though, just enable POWER SAVING MODE and if you RESTRICT BACKGROUND RESTRICTION it will be even cooler. Most times when POWER SAVING MODE is it will run in the 80s plus degree farenheit. ULTRA POWER SAVING MODE will of course do the trick as well. 3. GSMArena says the VOLUME is louder with Lollipop. Under KitKat GSMArena rated the loudspeaker volume at 66.9 for voice, 66.6 for music and 75.7 for ringing phone. Under Lollipop GSMArena rated the loudspeaker volume at 70.7 for voice, same 66.6 for music and 78.0 for ringing phone. Honestly though I see no difference in voice calls when on loudspeaker and the ringing doesn't seem any louder to me. 4. While the overall look of Lollipop is nice, the artistic look of the notification panel looks awful. It looks dull in the sense of it having a washed out look. It looked much nicer in KitKat. Overall though upgrading to Lollipop was a smooth transition for me and I don't have some of the problems that some user complains about. For instance, I don't have any camera problems which a few persons have complained about. It works as well as it used to in KitKat. My S5 is factory unlocked. It was never tied to a provider/carrier so maybe that makes a difference. Well that's my findings after upgrading to Lollipop in exactly one week ago. If there's anything else anybody finds out please share and maybe we can work together to solve any issues.

I updated a month ago and i recommend it. Almost everything has gotten buttery better except the annoying white theme and slight recent apps button delay also remains. Also be sure to factory reset after the update.

@sam: 1.75gb ram available out of 2gb... And i really doesn't matter bcoz till now i didn't face any lag/hang issue... And people who says that s5 hangs,lags and overheats they are trolling...they haven't used this beast...they just are the fanboys of some other brands...so just ignore them...:)

AnonD-401178

@someone: see both are powerful exynos and snapdragon but if you're more into gaming then i'd would suggest you the quad core version ie snapdragon one....otherwise for multitasking exynos is better...coz the snapdragon has got better gpu than the exynos one...i've exynos version and i played many heavy graphics games that i'd already mentioned in my previous post,i didn't found any frame drop or lag kinda thing... Also the snapdragon version supports 4g/lte..if you're area where u reside has 4g then i will suggest u go for lte version...and in a country like india 4g is not yet developed fully...so it's alright if u buy the exynos version..it is also a powerful phone but with slightly weaker gpu though...and around 25-27k this phone is best to buy...it has got everything and mind you it's a flagship phone....:)

Hello fellas!I am using s5 sm-g900h since past 4months...to be honest i didn't face any kinda issues like lagging,hanging,overheating and all...i have updated my phone to lollipop..battery backup i am getting is very good..i am getting around 6hrs of on screen time on heavy usage..earlier when i was in kitkat i was getting approx 7hrs on screen time..which was indeed great...performance is smooth as buttery,cam during daytime is mindblowing,and on low light it's prettt average...when it's almost dark and while taking pics without flash i m getting pinkish tink around the corners of the pics...i don't why,maybe somebody could help me on this issue..:(..but anyways overall experience is very good with this phone...earlier i was having s3 and it is worth to upgrade to s5..if somebody's using s3 or that kinda ph may consider to upgrade it s6 if you're cash..otherwise this phone is awesome.. The only downside of this phone is it doesn't have 4g/lte...and about my gaming performance this phone can handle any heavy graphics games..i have played modern combat5,nova3,asphalt8,real racing 3,the walking dead 2,and gangster vegas etc..all the games works like a charm... And the last thing is this phone doesn't look sexy... Cons:speaker pretty average,doesn't look sexy,prettt average low light performance... PS:MY S5 has fallen twice on the floor on the screen almost 4ft of height..didn't got any scratched and the phone is still working great... This is the honest review by me..i am from india..this is the best phone to buy around 25-27k INR.... any queries about this phone i am always there to help u out guys...and hell yeah i ain't a fanboy..this is based on hands on experience...:)

Got my S5 G900H as a gift from my son and i think it's great. Used to be an apple guy but samsung just don't put all its marbles on a single device, so u got to choose ur poison. Choose note 3 or 4 and deal with its bulk, or S5 w/ its fingerprint scan and dust/waterproof features but w/ old shape(really?) or the S6 edge w/ its cool style but non-removable batt...so its really ur choice...iphone 6 plus? But don't post too negative aspect of a device coz u can't win em all.

Flagship Brand is nothing but a company's core product which is most recognizable and has the expertise, values and product line of the business. For example, athletic shoes are the flagship brand for Nike though the company makes other clothing and sports gear. Yes both are diff choice but i feel note 3 as big phone and not comfortable tp hold and put in pocket Generally very few prefer large sized phones if you want large phone go to note 3 or want samll medium phone go to s5 i prefer medium sized phone and yes i have samsung s5 its cool

Hi guys , i m using samsung galaxy S5 SM-G900H (octa-core version) since more than 3 months , recently i upgraded it to lollipop 5.0 and it is a super phone , no complaints at all below are the merits and demerits which i experienced with this phone : Pros: Great camera , you almost get DSLR like images in good day light and video recording is above excellent Great HD AMOLED display , the display is the best i have ever seen on any smartphone device, view angle is 100% even in bright sunlight , great to watch videos or movies Gaming & Multitasking is a breeze in this phone you will have no lags or issue with any games or multiple apps open in the background Music is great with the earphone provided with this phone , its just awesome with highly customize able settings and equalizer Battery life is more than i expected , it lasts for a day easily with medium to heavy usage , Cons: Inbuilt speaker is kind of low in volume ,infact that too is not noticeable and it doesn't mater at all if you listen any audio/music via earphones in which it is just awesome !! LOOKS , does not looks the most stylish fone as compared to other devices Kind of expensive , but with such kind of features & premium experience which it provides believe me it is worth every penny !!!!

Guys, I've installed INU version Lollipop over my INS version Samsung Galaxy S5. At 1st it was very lag due to the old files and data over my old firmware. So the next thing I did was, ROOT it, install CWM Recovery and I did wipe/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik Cache. And then when I restart my device it's smooth as butter. But if you want to smooth it out more, Just go to settings, developer option and change the Window animation scale, transition animation scale and animator duration scale to 0.5x. Now you can have a fast Samsung S5. By the way, I've installed my firmware like this. Stocked Kitkat 4.4.2, Lollipop 5.0 from Kazakhstan, backup my firmware from CWM Recovery, install Lollipop 5.0 from India INU version and restore data only from Advance restore from CWM Recovery.

Using this cell since 2 months. Let me be honest, It is the slowest shit I have ever used. Even my cousin's M7 almost 2 years old device performs better than it. I'm not a benchmark person. Real life speed always matter. Only good thing I found in S5 is its camera. Its amazing. It performs well when its empty. I have another iPhone 4S with iOS 5 running on it. Far better device for daily usage. Love the fluid animations and lagless gaming on 4S. And who cares for HD display? Images and texts looks great on 4S with lower resolution. Who ever is going to buy this cell. DON'T!! I REPEAT, DON'T!

Because you didn't do the wipe cached. My Samsung s5 exynos runs so smooth in Lollipop witout experiencing like yours. Do the wipe cahced/wipe data. 1. Press and hold Volume Up, Home and Power button. 2. Use volume keys to select, Up and Down and Power or Home key to select the option 3. Select Wipe Data/Factory Reset using the Home button. 4.

Samsung taking forever to roll out lollipop for this phone. I don't even think it's going to get lollipop again.

Best bee

quad core is better.

wamsy

It's not hurry for new o's update. But samsung should consider s5 before s4. all of us will buy flagship handset's because they will get latest os updates before older models. This was one of the reasons. But samsung ditched Indian S5 consumers.

AnonD-363525

I don't understand how the galaxy s4 eyxnos version is being updated to lollipop before this phone.

AnonD-365543

Why rush on the firmware upgrade? Be patient before flashing to lollipop until stable versions have been released. I've read that snapdragon version is better, that the octacore lags. It's true it lags but from experience the octacore phone performs much better on heavy duty like gaming, video, etc.I would not go back to quad core version. As for battery life it improved a lot since last update to kernel 3.10.9-2712167. In conclusion this is a good phone, on the top of the list.

I have downloaded the firmware 5.0 (Lollipop)for GS5 (SM-G900H) from the Sammobile (size 2.39GB) Build Number � LRX21T.G900HXXU1BOA7 through Odin v3.10.6 in Nepal. It is not a problem with new firmware, working fine. I notice initially Finger Scanner improved and now smooth. Touchwiz looks different then KITKAT. 5.0 Lollipop second firmware G900HXXU1BOAD also need to update for battery performance. It is also possible to update through Samsung Kies.

Upgrade is not the fact..... The fact is the battery life and performance.... With out producing heat.... Does lollipop meet the criteria? Who knows..? Please confirm me....

Samsung what is the wisdom behind making a phone with 8core without LTE with same battery, now it does not last a day

I have purchased Samsung Galaxy s5 sm-900h but I have not been able to turn ON its camera flash,what to do???

Me is using after it release.but yet not any lagging.may u should check any problem. But its little slow then iphone6 plus.

yash92duster

i too live in india.i was using s5 g900h octacore variant for more than 6 months and i find it lagging.Even after rooting and removing bloatwre apps the phone still lags. now i shifted to snapdragon variant and it much faster. you can buy through ebay if u want snapdragon variant.

AnonD-1385

It's not laggy for me and I couldn't care less about Lollipop after hearing that the silent feature has been removed.

Lohit

then bring snap dragon version of note 4.. 3 and s5 to india we will buy

yash92duster

hello guys exynos galaxy s5 is very laggy everywhere. it has beaten snapdragon variant on benchmarks but it is not a good choice. it is good to buy the snapdragon variant.its a quad core and will receive lollipop updates then and then. whereas exynos s5 wont be receiving lollipop right now ,it will takes several months for it to come. Snapdragon variant has lots of custom roms... there are more developers who only develop new roms for g900f snapdragon variant. the exynos variannt has only 2 roms.

Thanks. I have it in Iran & I am satisfied, but they release firmwares very less often compared to other phones. The phone itself is good. It gets hotter than 4 core ones, which is natural.

AnonD-355583

All features were awesome, If it upgraded to "L". Waiting for the same for best experience of the hardware.

teja

i cant find custom roms for this version.

AnonD-1385

To ABHINAV: Do not mislead the public. Here are the advantages of S5 Exynos version which is NOT present in the Snapdragon variant: 1. More powerful cpu. The HMP 5422 is around 20% more powerful than snapdragon 801. 2. Faster RAM. Exynos s5 has 933 mhz ram over 800 mhz of snapdragon version. 3. Much better DAC. Exynos s5 has wolfson DAC which will provide a much better sound output over snapdragon s5 which has qualcomm DAC. 4. Full UHS I speed support.: The exynos s5 supports full class 10 ultra sd card speeds upto 70 MB/S which qualcomm doesn't. 5. More internal memory. It has 11.5 GB free whereas snapdragon version has 10 GB free. 6. Better ram management: exynos s5 has around 300 mb more free ram over snapdragon s5. 7. Exynos 5422 has the capability to supports hardware-assisted visualization, Snapdragon 801 does not have this. 8. Exynos powered Galaxy S5 is more power efficient, as during low work load it can only use its Little cores to save battery juice, Snapdragon variant does not have that option. 9. Feels faster and is more smoother

Abhinav

yes it will work ! but it's not that powerful as snapdragon one ...

Device is already work flawless and smooth. Why everyone is waiting to update it to lollipop? For just a bunch of new animations I guess

The S5 is said to be a very strong smartphone from the get-go but since week I saw something on Youtube which really surprised me. An ultimate water test was done on the S5, first in a pool for 1 hour which it easily passed. Then it was placed in a washing machine. Check out the ultimate S5 water test here:

It is nothing to complain about, learn how modern android works, you don't need much free ram.

Anyone here know how to release more RAM in this version. I have only a very little RAM available even if my all apps are closed, only 400 or 350 Mb

G900 H is the octa core and the other is quad core xD

IS lollipop available for s5 SM-G900H

AnonD-345360

No there are no such Tom's for g900h only other models are available if you flash other s5 model rom in g900h your phone will be bricked.Rumors says that we get lollipop at the end of the month.

Sorry,I forgot about the fingerprint scanner. I personally find it a waste of time as after registering print, or either takes numerous swipes to recognise print or doesn't recognise it at all and I have to enter the pin code. Time consuming! I haven't bothered to use fingerprint for purchasing anything.

Jon

Hi. I find that it does get hot when moving files around between folders ie. from device memory (32gig) to my SanDisk (32gig) memory card or when on Internet. I don't play games so I can't comment on that. Memory card has no influence on charging time or hanging. Only time phone is slow is when searching on help menu.

The S5 is an outstanding smartphone from the smooth operation to the camera (camera is really outstanding) but I have one little gripe, the display. Yes it looks sharp and vibrant but the trouble is I have a S2 as well. The colours on the S2 looks more vivid, more colorful...I guess due to it having a Super AMOLED Plus screen (only member of the Galaxy S family to have it). Even with the S2's resolution being less than HD, I still feel it over the S5 Full HD screen. I have put both phones side by side and gone through the various display modes and in each mode viewing the same image/same video clip and the S2 looks more vivid to me. I know the S5 screen is a better overall screen but you can see the difference between the S2 RGB compared to the S5 pentile matrix. Does anybody else share the same view as me? Is anybody else feeling the S2 screen over the S5?

Anonymous

so is it the G900H gonna get the lollipop or not :( ?

AnonD-345360

Since lollipop is compatible with 64 bit processor it is compatible with snapdragon 801 processor and not the exynos which is 32 bit so let's wait for few weeks till Samsung releases the update it as already rollout in Korea Poland Malaysia and russia for LTE dual Sim version and SM-G900F.THere are few bugs that s5 lollipop user experiences such as fb crashes finger scanners not working properly and phone stands for only 6-7 hrs due to white material design and newly updated TouchWiz but Google ang Samsung are trying to fix in last two update.Currently Google has released 5.0.2 for nexus device And we had to hope that they better fix the bug.so don't panic and wait for few weeks or months for Samsung that they would release a better bug fixed update for SM-900H . Now it has started to rollout for U.S carriers such as sprint,version and other carriers.

I got my S5 Octa core few days ago. No heating issues at all. Even when I play big games like dead trigger 2, modern combat 5. The phone works very well. Its processing speed is faster than Quad core snapdragon version. Not the same in terms of graphics. Quad core version is 60 percent faster than it in term of graphics and shader performance.

Rivinwin

A 64-bit operating system does not require 4+ GB of RAM. The advantage of 64-bit vs 32-bit is simply that 32-bit operating systems can use no more than 3.5 GB of RAM, while 64-bit can use (in theory) Terrabytes of RAM. Lollipop will be released for all versions of the Galaxy S5 eventually.

AnonD-1385

Many persons think that the S5 no longer has a capacitive menu button (I also thought so too when I first saw a live demo display model in a store) but it's still there under the quiet. Simply hold down the multitask capacitive button until the menu pops up. Holding it down between 1.5 - 2 seconds shows the menu options. I realised this on the very first day that I used my brand new S5.

All i have to inform you i had compare z1,z2, htc m8 still i am inspired by s5 octa version becoz i had this version this version had best battery timing once i had charge it to 100% and use youtube continously without any stop it gave me 8 hrs on youtube videos after 8 hrs battery drained to 6% not just YouTube running but also FB whatsapp viber wechat in background make sure background apps also consumes battery. And for all of your ki d information that google has changed kitkat coding assembly etc that doesn't allow any type of virus to harm the operating system or slow it down. Because ihad experience it once i used my old sd in my s5 at that time i had not installed the anti virus app then i indtall 360 anti virus it detected almost 51 malwares in card and i proud to say still s5 working smooth as butter and come to game area i had installed mc4 anf mc3 phone not got hot too much bit hooter compre to normal use and also done the water proof test and st passed that exams

This model already beat snapdragon 801 in antutu benchmark. So anyone of you don't needs to worry, design is beautiful enough and the best part is it's made of plastic so it's alot durable, am shifting from z1 to this because my Z1 got bend (google it if you have any doubt). If you're from india then don't think twice, just go for it because LTE is too expensive to use around 2000 rs. So I don't think any reason is there to turn this phone down.

Owned the Galaxy S5 unlocked for only 3 months & the camera developed a bizarre dark spot right in the middle of the viewfinder (picture) for no known reason. It appears in every picture and video taken. I searched online & discovered other people had the same issue so it's not just me, and of course Samsung's only solution is to factory reset the ph which wipes all your data & apps. Not happy haven't paid retail for the ph just to have a major feature fail in 3 months.

It is not water resistant. My new S5 fell into a bucket of water but it flickered and switched off. When I tried to turn it on, it doesn't. Enquired to Customer Care, they are replying that water has entered inside the phone and touch panel got damaged. Need 10000 plus for service. This Samsung is cheating all of us. Be carefull guys!!
