Of course you know that you'll finally get LTE, then use your data bundle in half an hour then switch it back to 3G anyway
I have LTE, and switched it to 3G. Not because of data bundle, but because of that silly delay that happens to the person calling you, where it rings in their ear, and not on your phone yet, because LTE networks don't carry voice, they have to first basically convert your call to a voip call.

Yeah I changed mine as well, don't live in an lte area anyway. Did you also change the APN to internet or just leave it at lte.vodacom.za?
It just bugs me that it is LTE capable and not working! According to the guys in the shop my sim is LTE enabled. I specifically asked as when I got my wifes phone a supervisor had to show the guy that you have to enable the sim for LTE somewhere on their system. Had a chat with 3 other guys in my office with S5 and not one of them have ever seen 4g only H+. They were on Vodacom,Cell C and MTN
Call in and ask them to activate LTE on your account. You can have an LTE sim and it wont magically put you on LTE network. I see 4g on my phone right now.

if you have access to MTN Active check under Services if you have the line that says LTE

I have noticed that Vodacom have increased their contract price for the S5 from R469 to R489
I had the same problem. My LTE shows as activated on MTN services but I could only get H+. I had to call it the call centre to get them to deactivate and reactivate LTE services as the original activation failed.

Samsung has reduced its quaterly production of the S5 from 21 million to 15 million and the S4 from 6 million to 5 million.the article speculates that it is due to the expected competition from the iPhone 6.Could be that it is to free up factory space for the S5 Prime instead.Just speculating.

Is it just me but I find my S3 was so much smoother than my s5.
Playing games like PVZ2 and candy crush (kids) the response times are so slow when the game loads or when using the back button to exit a level or totally exit the game. Also the screen lags a bit when trying to place plants for example in PVZ2 or simply swiping the screen to answer a call.
An another annoying issue, even if I have the volume turned off or the phone set to vibrate the sound somehow automatically turns on to about quarter volume.
It's such a pity my S3 broke
Anyway is it just me or am I missing some settings or does Samsung need to optimise these 8 cores????

That is not normal. I would take it back.

Agreed. I can't say I've noticed any lag anywhere but I've never tried this specific games to be fair.
