On the whole excellent thanks. My fingerprint security on the front screen had disappeared and I soon got it back thanks to following your instructions. Only trouble was you navigated a bit quick to get there for someone who doesn't know their way around the phone, but I stopped the video a few times and it worked fine. Thanks a bundle.
I just want to point out to all people who own this phone and have either an otter box or some other screen layering to pleaseeee turn on the increased touch sensitivity. You'll notice with some of the multi piece cases that you have to mash the plastic barrier to successfully to type accurately and this setting makes it normal again!
I haven't noticed any tips and tricks videos saying this about the s5 but if you swipe down how you would to get the notification panel but use two fingers it will bring up the list of all notification buttons (wi-fi, sound, screen rotation... etc) also there's like a little android "Easter egg" if you go into settings --> about device --> and tap on "android version" multiple times really fast it will launch an interactive animation :D btw to get out of it just hit the back button
Not sure why you would advise people to go to Cinema for the Screen mode. It had absolute terrible crap colors and basically washed out all the colors into a grey tint. I think the best is actually Dynamic, if you don't plan on staying in Adapt Display. All the colors "pop out" in that mode!
that is why you have choices to make it more or less so. but i would rather have the choice in my hand, instead of a company deciding for me, like on so many phones.
yea, it was a weird tip.. I'm a developer and most people that work in similar fields typically use that type of feature when something color sensitive needs to be done.. I don't really see why anyone would use anything but Adapt or Dynamic display unless you're testing, dealing with editing images, etc..
it's funny how in some videos people try to say things on this phone don't work, are poor features or not as good as those on the htc or another top phone. but when i get with my friends who have the htc, sony, lg or others, their phones are the ones who seem to have problems, and my s5 runs perfectly. of course i've turned off a few features, and changed a few settings. but all of that took me less then five minutes. so why is it that my phone runs better than theirs, and beats the hell out of them on benchmarks, but in your video, nothing seems to work?
I checked S5 in the stores today for the first time. The feel is still cheap but white looks nicer in real. But touchwiz was still incredible shit for me. I will never go touchwiz if it keeps looking like that. HTC M8 which also was my first time seeing IRL was a lot nicer and didn't felt too big at all even though its the same size as z1. Z1 on other hand feels damn big. Sony needs to fix the design.
I just want to comment on a fact that some others have already brought up which is your apparent dislike for this phone. You just shouldn't represent this as being a positive video about this device when at least 10 times throughout the clip you say things like, "I personally hate this" or "Samsung has this really annoying feature..." (going as far as to make one of your "tricks" to turn off the "annoying sound effects" which is just ridiculous) or "nothing has really changed" etc. Maybe they have just got the wrong person doing this particular video, I don't know, but it just came off as a bit strange...?
Power and Home when pressed together does screen shots as you mentioned but it is NOT unique to Samsung.. and you kinda insinuate that this "difference" annoys you... iphones also take screen shots this way.... power and home button...
Its obvious you aren't a fan of samsung but why do a video? You sound bored. Also we can take slow motion or fast motion videos which is a really cool feature you failed to mention that.

Hello. Could u please tell me where I can get your clock widget or what is the name so I can download

Awesome video, I learned a ton from this. Just got my s5 yesterday. Thanks again.
what is the name and where is the link of your home screen wallpaper Please.
Have you mentioned that the volume rockers of galaxy s5 can also be used as dedicated camera buttons?? It's cool!!
How did you get that clock on your homescreen?
How did you get your date and time on the home screen to look like that?
Where can i find That Watch widget? look really good
How can I close the shutter sound? Even in vibration mode I hate to hear the shutter sound.
You can do a swipe gesture to take a screen shot instead
You can you have to find it in settings tho
Isn't there a gesture for a screenshot?
Is the Magazine removable?
Settings; Home Screen; uncheck the "My Magazine". Voila.

How do you get Chrome on the ultra power saving mode?
Bryan did you ever figure out how to do it, i need chrome!!!!!!! LOL
Lol. No
Ugh there is nothing on google about it.
Fuck!!!
Thankyou for the tips, very helpful : )

***** I would think if you're not colorblind or have other visual deficiencies, its should be easy to tell that Dynamic enhances the colors the best.
Dynamic looks cool but the colors are insanely over-saturated.
that is why you have choices to make it more or less so. but i would rather have the choice in my hand, instead of a company deciding for me, like on so many phones.
Stev We Exactly! **cough** **cough** Apple...

On the Galaxy S 5 did they take that s beam off I for some reason can I find that
12;10 one hand operation very easy but its hard for u bcoz u doing it wrongly,u have to do V shape at side n it will work each time u do,try it dude
Your video was awesome thanks for the tips
How do you get rid of s finder and quick connect in drop down notifications
by rooting your phone, my friend. It makes stock touchwiz and INCREDIBLE experience.
I'm on the S5 mini, I can't find 'Multi Window' - I'm guessing that's one we don't have in Settings? Or is it hidden?
Does the s5 have that double tap to turn the screen on feature?
No it doesn't. You can only turn it on by the side or the home key buttons.
Very useful thanks!
What do I need to do to get my camera shortcut on my lockscreen.
calvin tanner Settings > Lock Screen > tick Camera Shortcut
How'd he get his backround like that
Push and hold the recent apps for settings
Seems YT is down sampling the vids they look like they are dropping frames
i accidentally remove google now at my home screen, can you help me to bring it back so i dont have to long press the home button.. many thanks
I actually like that water drop sound effect.

Just the tips, just for a second, just to see how it feels
I mostly want to know how you've customised your clock, to be entirely honest. XD
Cool phone at first, but then the screen blackouts started when unlocking.
You say nothing about the 4H camera mode....nothing about fast and slow and smooth motion video

Touchwiz is better than sens and Sonys Ui you dumb ass fool!
***** No its not you moron
Haha yes it is, bitch! You've no idea jerk!
THANK YOU for asking people to turn off the insane little drippy sounds!! Dang but I hate those..

dude no offense meant but here you didn't talk about any tips and tricks, this is all general stuff... or lets say beginners guide for S5 users...
Hey guy you might wanna do just a bit more research your missing a lot of really cool features
Power and Home when pressed together does screen shots as you mentioned but it is NOT unique to Samsung.. and you kinda insinuate that this "difference" annoys you... iphones also take screen shots this way.... power and home button...
Text messaging, I wanna see how that works on the s5
Normal heart rate is 60-100 beats per min..
So I got none of those things you use :o
S5
Its obvious you aren't a fan of samsung but why do a video? You sound bored. Also we can take slow motion or fast motion videos which is a really cool feature you failed to mention that.
Hello sssony, I can ssshow you sssome tipsss. :)
Why are you doing this video? You sound bored and it seems like you don't like the S5 at all.
What a crap phone. S3 looks better. Anyway, i'm in love with Sony, best android phone ever
S3 looks cheap.
