1- The camera problems

The Samsung Galaxy S5 offers one of the best on the market cameras, both in terms of the speed of its focus on speed to take a snapshot. Unfortunately, this is not what has been experienced multiple users. This problem can be simply related to activation default image stabilization option. This feature allows for brighter and clearer pictures without using the flash but delays the processing of the image. Hence an additional latency. So check this option is turned off in Settings> Image stabilizer.

Another concern met with the camera: the unexpected. The biggest mistake was present in multiple devices, so Samsung responded and advised users to go to the service order to perform a technical audit and to exchange against a new model.

2 - Problems with water

The Galaxy S5 is a waterproof phone. Therefore, some malignant wanted fun to check feature but had some unpleasant surprises. Indeed, we must Verfier that the hull is correctly closed before experience. The S5 is not a unibody phone as is the Sony Xperia Z3.

I advise you to avoid deliberately soak your phone. In case water enters, do not try to immediately turn on your S5 and dip it in a bowl of rice (rice will absorb moisture).

3- worries slow

Samsung are renowned for often know the problems of slow and lags because of their TouchWiz interface and bloatware. I recommend you to disable some animations and direct access to S Voice from the Home button.

To remove the animation, press and hold an empty spot on the home screen and click transition effects and select none. For S Voice, open the voice assistant and go to Settings> Open with the Home button.

4- overheating problems

If you encounter excessive heating on the back of your S5, including battery level, just go to Settings and lower the screen brightness. It is also desirable to reduce the waiting time to 15 seconds.

Once this is achieved, wait a bit to see if the temperature drops. If this is not the case and and you still experience the problem, make an appointment with the VAS to a technical analysis of your battery.

5. The display brightness problems
If you find that your display too much brightness in low light or vice versa, it is possible that your light sensor is defective. Many users also suffer from ghosting makes some images remain on the screen in the background, especially when you lock will automatically release the phone or when browsing through menus and on the web.

This problem is more serious than the previous one and you need to update your system to solve it.


6. The screen problems

Handling a smartphone has to be intuitive and the least that is expected of the S5 is flawless reactivity when the screen is touched. This, unfortunately, may not be the case with your Galaxy S5. Many users have indeed reported calibration problems on the touch sensor. Because of this, we note that the smartphone does not react exactly the place where one touches but few millimeters next.

As usual, the solution to this problem is an update. If it has not resolved your concern, you may want to restore your S5 to factory settings. If the problem persists again, I recommend you go in the secret menu of Samsung Galaxy S5.

To enter the menu, type in the phone * # 0 * #. From there, you can check in "Touch" if there is a manufacturing problem in your sensor. If so, you'd better go see your technician.


7. Problems with the sensors

We will now discuss other sensors. Let's start with the fingerprint sensor. From my personal experience I can say that it does not always work as it should. Unfortunately, there is no definitive solution to this problem.

Of course, I can still give you some advice. Try placing the finger as perpendicular as possible on the home button and drag slowly.

Similarly, problems on the accelerometer may occur. If this is your case, I recommend you to check the operation of the sensor in the menu mentioned in the previous one item.


8. Knox security system

Many users are unaware that the S5 incorporates a special security system called Knox while making it more difficult to amend the software (root, ROM ...). Fortunately, you can disable it. In its time, we had an entire article explaining how to uninstall Knox based on the Galaxy S4, but the tutorial is also possible for S5.

9. WiFi problems

The Samsung Galaxy S5 has an option that automatically turns off Wi-Fi if the connection is very bad. This option called Smart Exchange premet network and switch to your mobile data network when your WiFi connection is too low. But it can be especially due to losses connections.

You can disable this option in the Wi-Fi menu and cache of applications that have been the cause of the loss of the connection.

10. The sudden death of the phone

This problem, the last in our list, is the most dangerous. Sudden death, infamous for users of S3 continues to affect other smartphones in the Galaxy family. The first thing you should do is a hard reset of S5. If that does not bear fruit, the management service where you have to change the motherboard.
