Samsung Galaxy S5

[Justin223]

I've just picked up my S5, a really great phone.

Now its time to install everything.

Not much to choose. Both are good. What screen size is preferred?

Big screen is preferred

Big screen is preferred

Note 3 or if you can wait Note 4.

The touchwiz experience has got small twirks on the S5, which is cool, that the Note 3 doesn't have.

1 example is, that when you are busy on the phone (or the screen is on) and someone phones you, the dialer doesn't open full screen. It's a little floating window you can drag around.

I like that little window thing. The whole experience is a multitasking as I have ever had on a phone.

MTN just sent me the updates. It was a 100mb update followed by a 30mb update

Exactly, it is something so small, but has made for such a pleasurable experience.

Lovely to be able to make notes or send emails whilst chatting on speakerphone.

 

[Justin223]

I really dig that feature.

I wasn't aware of it until a friend phoned me tonight, I just used my hands free and could check flights for him while speaking on the phone.

Seriously impressed with this phone.

I am missing something here. You could "multitask" before the S5. I did that with the S2 running GB.

More the way the incoming call comes in when you are busy in an app, rather than the multitask portion.

I got the update on Tuesday as well. Was odd though as my S5 did not pick up the update automatically. I had to manually look for updates...

Weird problem - after the update 2 days ago when someone phones me there is no audio for the
first 5 seconds. MTN no LTE

The phone is from FNB so not sure where the update comes from - is it stock firmware?

 

[Sinbad]

Manually updated, feels a bit better. Towelroot didn't work for me though. Anyone else?

That is weird. Did it not root or did it trip knox?

 

[Sinbad]

Didn't root.
