Samsung Galaxy S5 (USA) - User Reviews

  • yes LTE...yes quick charge 2.0???

  • Hey guys I need a help from you actually I have s5 verizon which is unlock but I can't use my Airtel Sim probably because sometime call doesn't work and messages doesn't go when I used some Airel APN setting from Airtel site data is working but still can't make a call (sometime it's working) in that phone but when I inserted IDEA Sim everything is working Data,Calls,Message ??but how ?? What the problem with airtel please hell me out

  • No LTE

  • I has a s5 but it crash i don’t know for what and it is dead. Now when im put the battery inside the phone it is make a horrible sound.

  • Oops I've even rolled it back to 5.0 sm-900v

  • How to that root explicitly. .. you'd be a superhero

  • Does any one know how to get root I've moved back to 5.0 got a allppyable 4.0 very but very stripped

  • yeah its working

  • Will this phone work in the Philippines?

  • yes and gsm and lte work with any company

  • This is CDMA phone?

  • Try to reinstall the software of the phone. It maybe that during updating of the phone there was a minor detail in the software that was not installed correctly. Please try this first before you go further... You may damage your phone if you try to install apps in order to prevent the battery to drain fast. I hope this helps....

  • It is possible that the sensor in your phone is dirty due to dust (this is normal), because I had the same problem like yours. You can fix it yourself by giving a few soft taps on the back of the phone first and if it is still the same. Follow it by giving a few taps again, but this time a little bit harder. It sounds crazy or useless, it works for me. Try this first and if this does not resolve the problem than you have to bring it to a phone shop to fix it or ask to downgrade to the previous version before the phone was updated to android 6.0..... Hope this is helps.

  • Sir hi, what country where you from? I have S5 from Verizon and the battery is draining too fast. do you have any advice what to do?

  • I feel this device is the most complete Samsung phone i have laid my hands on. It's not too big or small - just perfect. I am enjoying mine running on Android 6.0.1 and its cool👍👌

  • does anyone here have a propleme with screen rotatin :'( after update to marchmillow my phone can't rotation i try wip cach and format and it work will for 20 enut it turn off by itself any solutation ? sory for mmy bad english

  • Loved this phone, until this last software update. Now 50% of the pages I always load and use on chrome are screwed up. They load, but the text and click able links display so thin... a text line the thickness of your hair...that you can't read them. ..even if you max zoom the page... and therefore can't navigate the page. The sites range from craigslist, rei, news media and bed bath and beyond to name a few. However, there are others that load fine. As I said, up to 2 weeks ago, I had absolutely ZERO issues. Anyone having the same problems or know what the issue is? I love this phone, and specifically chose it for the removable battery and features/performance. Hope this is just a fixable glitch or update issue. Thanks

  • Its locked, attempting to root will brick it. Hardware issue.

  • Can someone plz tell me ways to root my Galaxy S5 Trac phone.

  • I am using this phone for about two and half years. After one and half year using, the screen starts flickering when it's low back light and while locking and unlocking the screen. How to fix this problem? I have tried so many ways of software related approaches but they are useless.

  • I have been using this phone for half a year and following the recommended web browsing and updates i have never been disappointed by this tremendous phone. Please remember that you do not need to update the Verizon apps in pakistan if you are not registered with them. If you by the way do so your sim may block several services. So just do regular updates via wi fi and forget about verizon apps updates. Best of Luck

  • #1.5. Carrier minority variants These are carrier branded minority models. Hardware can differ from the International models and firmware is governed by each carrier with branding and modifications to Samsung's original TouchWiz firmware. This carrier branding can vary between medium or heavy, depending on the carrier and although Samsung pass on all their, "bugfix", and security updates to these carriers, it is down to each carrier whether to spend the time and money to make the modifications and return it to Samsung for release. You may also see issues that are only relevant to a certain model and not applicable to all phones. WARNING! If a poster on these models declares they are running a, "stock", app, it may only apply to that model and not to all Samsung TouchWiz firmwares generally.

  • I'm in Nigeria and I bought a fairly used sm g900p the problem is that the imei doesn't match with the one on imei.net. but I think it's still original because 1.all Samsung short code works 2.kies recognizes it 3.the cpu is correct (i used cpu z) 4. The screen is amoled 5. The finger print works fine 6. Heart rate sensor works 7 all air gestures work 8. AL stock Samsung apps are installed including s voice I think the imei was changed and I don't think was a clone. I hope I'm correct

  • Hey Asad. Yes your phone is a fake clone. It's not original.. when your phone is original it will always work.. so yea.. You have a FAKE s5.. sorry bro.. Go get a refund if you have to.

  • The US Cellular version of the Galaxy S5 may not have GSM capabilities, but may have more 4G bands than other carriers.

  • I was able to use unlock my phone for use in the UK and a few other European countries, though I did not buy a sim that covered every country I visited. I was only able to use 3G and NOT 4G data.

  • where you able to unlock the samsung galaxy s5 us cellular cdma to gsm?

  • Hi will anybody tell me, what does it mean if *#0*# code do not work?? does it mean that cell phone is not original??

  • yes

  • The G900P works with GSM outside USA. look for alyatim ssu.apk. 3G works in Europe.

  • do it take simcard

  • network technology, CDMA,GSM etc. but only active CDMA, what bands are supported?

  • shop.rcom.co.in buy from there

  • same question here?

  • Does it work with LTE on AT&T? Or just calls and text?

  • Apparently the SM-G900P model (Sprint model) has support for 700MHz on not just Band 13 but Band 14....strange as Band 14 is the public safety LTE network band....maybe Sprint markets this to LE Agencies as well?

  • I bought my Verizon version as factory unlocked. Got this version so the cdma radios were included. Even though it's Verizon, I put my work phone AT&T SIM card in it and it worked perfectly which incoming and outgoing calls on my work number. Then I put my Verizon sim in it and that also worked pefectly.
