You better not have tripped Knox again
I didn't thank goodness..
Still don't see why a legitimate option on the device triggers it from being official to custom ....
Got a tip for us?

Where is this update? Nothing showing for me.
Was an article on SamMobile that it's coming or is out In uk
^ Are you a heavy user?
I'm down to about 60% and that's quite light to medium usage.
Make sure location history is turned off in location/Google settings to help preserve battery too.

Go to settings....Application manager. You can turn off the apps you don't use......Here are the things I have turned off.....Anyone have pro tips on how to save some battery life on the S5? I tried limiting background processes and a few other things but not much luck. I am down to like 15% at like 8 or 9 PM each night.
I usually have about 40-50% left at the end of the day. For me and my use I could go a day without charging.....

Strange ... my application manager says disabled not turned off. I wonder if thats a carrier customisation on your device...
This is what it looks like one step further......sorry for the large size screenshots....Must be the carrier?

Yeah must be.. mine says enable or disable ...
The Galaxy S5
Quick question - how is the front camera on the Galaxy S5 in low light (indoors at night) for selfies/Skype/videos? On the iPhone 5S it is actually not bad, it is not dark and there is just a little graininess. The Z1 Compact I am trying out actually has these issues, it is awful.

Its just so-so, but then again, I'm not a selfie kind of guy

Call it semantics or what have you but I like that mine says Turned Off. Sounds more forceful than Disabled.
Now if you rub the back of your phone......does it change to Turned On?Its just so-so, but then again, I'm not a selfie kind of guy

Is this a feature just for the s5?
No ... we can all disable apps in application manager...
Just the firmware on the AT&T S5 has changed the wording from enable / disable to Turn On & Turn Off

How much bloatware

I can do the same on my nexus 7 .... It just says enabled/disabled.

Anyone else played with the front camera, especially with Skype on low light? Does it come out very dark any grainy?
Tried this on my S3 and now it flies!!!!
I always thought that option was to limit multitasking! WOW. My S3 is super fast and fluid now. Even less reasons to upgrade to a new phone.
Thanks!!!

My s5 seems to be much improved after the update from ATT and switch to Nova launcher. I also disabled some apps. With Nova launcher, most of the TW functionality seems to be working.
Forgot to switch off HDR. Added little contrast and saturation later.
It can focus very close.

On my iPhone 5s the fingerprint scanner works really well. To bad Samsung couldn't figure it out. It is a very useful feature. Maybe it was because Apple bought out the company who made their technology, and then Samsung had to use second rate tech lol.
TBH...i don't Apple buying Authentec has anything to do with the fingerprint scanner on the S5. It has more to do with Samsung adding a feature to try to keep up with the competition. But they just didn't really commit to the new feature. They did not have as much effort put into the feature. Samsung could have gone the same route and bought an existing company i guess. But who knows if fingerprint scanner will even be on future Samsung phones.....
