Only the bootloader will trip KNOX. Custom ROMS or modems won't.
Well I suppose this is the right place to ask for an opinion on weather to get the S5 or not.
I upgraded from a S2 to a iPhone 5s, I really do love my iPhone. My only concern is the battery lasts for a day, which is perfect for most people but I do travel quite a bit and having a phone with a battery that I know will last is something that takes priority.
I am also a freelance photographer in my free time, the 5S has a great camera and I have got quite a few good shots from it. From what I have seen the S5 takes some really great shots too.
From what I can see, the only thing that is preventing me from going over to the S5 would be that I use the Apple application Paper a lot for things such as writing invoices to writing articles. It allows me to email the file as a PDF which is a big plus for me.
My questions are:
-Do you guys think I could trade my iPhone 5s with someone for a S5?
-Can anyone suggest any good apps that are similar to Paper?
Thanks for the help guys.

Sony Z2 would be better for you.
It has a better camera than the S5 and bigger battery (3200mAh).

Can you please supply a link to the tests done between the 2 cameras?
That battery is quite impressive. I wonder how well the device manages ask that power

Ke?
Ah well that explains it.
The S5's Ultra power saving mode will kill the Z2's battery.

Have you actually try running the phone in that mode? You might as well carry a smoke signal starter kit.

I ran it in that mode for a day. Basic apps and such work battery lasts and lasts. Even it's standard power saving mode will kick the z2 ass. People tend to forget it has 2 power saving modes.
If you want seriously fast shutter speed get an s5.

Any idea how to improve focusing on small objects up close like bugs and spiders?

Closest your lens can get is about 10cm. I get pretty good shots of small stuff by just leaving the led on (I have the flashlight widgit right next to my camera shortcut especially for this), turn off Hdr and anti shake as well.

The Vodacom price increase sucks. I was actually considering an S5 instead of the Z2 but a price increase certainly doesn't endear me towards the S5.
