I dunno hey - was at 27% after another 30 mins and I plugged it in to charge. Can actually feel it is "hot" though... what could it be?

If I get really bad LTE my battery drains like crazy but it's not all that often. I tend to just put the phone onto 3g when in these types of areas (1 or 2 bars LTE).

I should do that too ... I know the pitfall of excessive drain and yet I put it on LTE. And the only benefit LTE gives me is faster upload speed. I get the same speeds on 3G as LTE

I have pretty good LTE at work, almost doubles download and upload speed but also hardly ever use it as my phone is usually on Wifi.

Same as at home. Wifi.

I do like it for maps and such while driving and when at friends homes or other places from work and home.

What do you have your Display set to?
Automatic, manual?

 

[Aharon]

Yes auto. I deleted the cache partition yesterday. And have my wifi modem with me. Waiting to see if it's better.

If it is a hardware issue contact Samsung directly (I used the chat system)

Nope, you can flash via odin. CF-Auto root is the easiest way.

Anyone been able to claim the free Dropbox space? Specifically those who've previously claimed the free space on previous Galaxy smartphones. Getting mixed reviews online regarding this.

Apparently the solution is to let your old drop box expire then to make a new drop box account for the space and use the old account as a read only archive.

Usualy you want the gadget to prevent damage to the watetproofing flap thingy.

Samsung told me to log into my wifes dropbox account on s5 as I had a samsung dropbox space already and cant use 2 promotional spaces together. It worked and she now has the space.
