Hi, newbie here. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 unlocked AT&T. Provider is Straighttalk. The Android system has not updated beyond ver. 5.0 (not even 5.0.1). Here are numbers that may help provide a solution. Ver. 5.0 Baseband ver. G900AUCU4BOF2 Kernel ver. 3.4.0-4432708 Please tell me how to get...

Hello, I recently bought a used Samsung Galaxy S5 from a Sprint retailer and they told me everything was normal and that it was released for every company and...:eek: welll.. I`m from Mexico, I asked him if it would work and he said yes but now that I want to use it I can only make phone calls...

I have two S5's, they both have the same problem. I'm trying to find a Bluetooth headset that work with apps like Skype and Messenger and Marco Polo, as well as regular phone calls. I have tried several different headsets including some expensive ones. On all of them the phone call audio is very...

The Galaxy S8 is starting to hit doorsteps today, but it turns out many Americans aren't updating. In fact some Americans are still enjoying their Galaxy S5s! According to a report by Kantar World Panel 15.6% of all active Samsung smartphones in the US are Galaxy S5 units while the Galaxy s6...

I think it is safe to say that most folks do not expect updates on a phone that we are more than 3 years removed from. The Galaxy S5 is a rapidly aging device. As one of the last Samsung flagship devices with a user replaceable battery it is very likely that there are still many people using...

I was watching a movie on my Samsung Galaxy S5 the other day when suddenly my phone screen went black. I tried to turn it back on, but of course that didn't work. After closer inspection I noticed that the phone was actually still powered on and functional, as the LED lights at the bottom of the...

Many users are beginning to report that their Galaxy S5 phones are starting to overheat. It has been discovered that the likely cause for this is aging batteries. The Galaxy S5 was the last in the "S" flagship Galaxy lineup to include a removable battery. If your S5 still has the stock battery...

While OEMs put an end to updates after a year or so the development community continues to release updates for phones long after they have been end of lifed. I can remember last year a Lollipop Rom came out for the Droid X. If the phone were not basically extinct at this point I am sure someone...

As Android N begins to make its way to some devices in the form of Preview builds we are still a long ways away from the majority of devices receiving the update to Marshmallow. Each day we get a bit closer to Marshmallow saturation. Today both the Galaxy Note Edge and Galaxy S5 Sport for Sprint...

One great reason to root your device and add a custom recovery is the ability to continue to update your device long after the device has been end of lifed by its OEM. CyanogenMod has been providing older devices with the latest and greatest versions of Android for years. The latest lineup of...

Fingerprint Scanner compatibility can finally be built into 3rd party roms for the Galaxy S5 like CyanogenMod 13 thanks to the development work of developer "ljzyal". Right now this is only a work in progress. The fingerprint scanner capability is already built into the Mokee rom, and will be...

I have had my S5 happily now for a couple years. I use the Gallery daily to view photos and videos. Videos are all in .mp4 format. Suddenly as of yesterday, I cannot play any videos... downloaded and filmed from the phone? I can see a thumbnail of the video but when I click "play" I get a...

Hi There, I rooted my phone about a year ago. But somehow now it shows as not being rooted but with a custom rom. Tried using towelroot and that doesn't work. I'd like to upgrade to 5.0 but am stuck at 4.4.4 At this point I'm not sure what is easier to re-root or downgrade unroot and use samsung...

Hey all! Thank you for giving this post your time. I'm having the issue of space on my Galaxy S5 internal storage is being taking up by invisible applications. My application manager is reporting that there is 20gb of applications on my phone but there is only 16gb of space. This is causing the...

If you decided to skip the Galaxy S6 in favor of holding on to your Verizon Galaxy S5 you made a good choice! It took several months just to get the Verizon Galaxy S5 rooted. The Galaxy S5 community pulled their resources together pledging over $20,000 for a root method. Not long after the...

There are probably still a hand full of you out there using the Galaxy S5. This phone is less than 2 years old so for many of you it is still a great device. If you are hoping Samsung will release Marshmallow to this device I wouldn't hold my breath. Yes it may eventually come, but this device...

So basically I bought a used Samsung Galaxy S5 which would not boot up correctly. I had to use Odin 3 to install a new Rom and also Kies 3 to do firmware upgrades. I am currently using it on a prepaid US Cellular account. Everything is running fine just like factory new. Except even after doing...
