Samsung galaxy S5 just not for me

Beside the camera, I'm having a hard time finding anything I like about his phone.
I already had to do a hard reset after only one week.
I got an otter box for it at purchase and the volume buttons never worked right ( plus bulky as hell )
I get a new case and when I put it in my pocket the screen button keeps getting pressed and whatever app I had opened gets used. ( It opened the music app while in my pocket and started playing " fricking problems " while I was walking into a restaurant.
The messaging app sucks
The charger plug is a pain in the arse. Plus it doesn't work well with my current charger.
The ADs all over the screen suck ( how you get that off? )
I do like the "ok google" feature

I have the S5, and I don't like it either. It's too late for me to bring it back.

What are the "AD's"?
Posted on 6/5/14 at 1:45 pm to Placebeaux
Go get the M8.

You sound like a former iPhone user. I will admit that i used iPhone and switched to Samsung and absolutely hated it! I HATE touchwiz. I then got away from Samsung and got a Moto X which runs stock Android and I love it. The LG phones are really nice too.

No my last two phones were the razor M and the Evo. I really liked the Evo.

My last two phones were the BBZ10 and the HTC Inspire 4G.

You should have just played it off and kept walking like it's your entrance theme song.

Download one you like. Glory of Android.

Use a lock screen? You can download one you like. Glory of Android.

Download a custom launcher and make it do what you want. Glory of Android.

Root your device and flash a custom rom, including Stock Android.
I'll sound like a fanboy but there really isn't an excuse for android to be a total pain in the arse unless you guys can only work with an out of the box product. The android OS can be whatever it you want it to be and do just about whatever it is you want it to do. You just have to make it do it.

That's almost certainly your fault.

Download your choice of app to replace it.
I have a 5S for work and an S5 for personal use. The Apple is about simplicity while the Galaxy is about versatility. Versatility does require more tech savvy though.
Also the Galaxy is designed for a man's hands, which is nice.

I've had my s5 for a week and I like it a lot. Granted I had a galaxy s2 so this is a huge step up for me. I just rooted it today(first time rooter) and I'm not really sure what to do next. I'll probably put cryogenmod on it once they have a stable build

What does rooting mean?
Posted on 6/5/14 at 5:47 pm to SabiDojo
Gives you full access to your phone. I think of it like run as administer in windows
Posted on 6/5/14 at 5:47 pm to SW2SCLA
Oh. Thanks.

Rooting/jail breaking is big time. Look into it for sure.
