Yes. It's deep in the settings

it has every "s feature" the s4 has and more.
Anyone know those new s features or gestures?

Id' heard it's been dumbed down a bit, which i was interested in, for me the SGS4 was a bit gimmicky, seemed to be too much going on at the same time.
After a while you simply don't use some of the gestures, you rely on what you know, probably why the HTC One was so popular, it's system was literally stripped of anything it didn't need, worked really well and it's been the best to date, i think Sammy could take a thing or two from that.

Yep, they should definitely remove things like the smart scroll or the smart pause. Those are not even gimmicky, they are simply useless.

Agreed, they're simply to show off to people who've been using the likes of an iphone.
In real life they're pretty crap indeed.
They are still there but turned off by default.

Based on your signature, I'm wondering how are you liking the S5 so far? How's the battery life compared to the S4?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
:thumbdown:It's not as good as the advertisement. it drains fast.( just basic apps running in the background nothing that should drain the battery.)
I love the camera , camera editing, and the sleek look of the phone. It's better once you hold it. looks really nice.
:thumbup: It's snappy and badass.

That's not good to hear about the battery life but I assume your device is running a pre-release software build so hopefully Samsung will fix any bugs that may be draining the battery in the final release software.

So I rooted and froze all I felt comfortable with (almost all of the bloat and non used) and seemed to have a few more moments of jitters. I thought it was my fast moving in and out of apps, or my games causing the hardware to stumble, but now think its totally hardware.
My question is, after switching to force GPU settings in developer options, has anyone noticed it stopping? Or at least a marked decrease in episodes?
Disable HW overlays and force GPU rendering of 2d being the two options I'm using. I just started last night and already I'm noticing things seem much snappier and no stutters.

Yeah I noticed a jitter now and again, seems it was more placebo than cure. The setting did make the phone a little faster in response though.

I'm running a rooted, cleaned up, stock mf3 ROM and its just terrible in terms of lag. Scrolling anywhere is jerky and awful looking, pulling down the notification shade is like 10 fps sometimes. Is this really the best it can do on touchwiz? My other devices are HTC One GPe, N4, Note 2, etc...

My notif bar is always quick when I pull it down, even when I wake the phone from sleep then pull it down ...I think you just have to tweak kernel and rom settings a bit. Or clear cache...dalvik and app data. Quicker then the htc one from att I had..
Thats just your device man. Mine is smooth as butter, and always has been. I would double check to make sure power saving is disabled, and if it is, then your best bet is to factory reset and see if that makes an improvement.

I had practically no lag out of the box. . . so maybe your phone has a hardware issue.
(since rooting and flashing Shostock2.1, and setting animations to 0 my phone is quick!)
The condition you describe is not normal for our model.
Good Luck
i Had same problems or close to same.
i had phone freezing and also flipping home screen used to freeze I went back stock and re root and flashed custom rom close to stock and i seen no lag
Maybe try some of custom roms ?

I've run about 3 different Roms and I use the gs4 and One daily. The one is quicker. I know from reviews and Google searches I'm not alone in experiencing the lag. Maybe some people are more perseptive to it?
The Google edition ROM was quicker. I already have the Google play edition one though, so I was trying to use touch wiz. I'll see if I can video the lag.

Maybe this isnt what youre wanting to do, but if you open the app drawer and hit the menu button, you can go down to uninstall disable. From there you can disable what looks to be about 60% of the crap that comes installed.

Hi, I'll be switching from my gs4 to this phone soon. Can anyone give me a few pros and cons of this phone? Also I'm seeing this thing about "TF" files. What is that or is it just the file format specific to Sony phones?
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
Tft file is the actual rom (not custom rom) u can flash to ur device using the flash tool which is mentioned a lot on here lol.
Pros:
Would take too long to list lol
Cons:
For me to be honest non so far except that using the camera heats up the device which im not too bothered about.
-Also could be louder was expexting more from stereo speakers not saying it's not loud lol
-headphone volume output is not the greatest either a lot better on iphones n samsungs (not only z2 same was on my z so i guess sony is limiting the volume for our safety lol)

To me it never was, i previously used Z... Why do you need remowe battery? The only reason could be if the phone lags (stopped working) but this have easy solution by holding volume+ and pwr.button you can force restart the device from any case

Not an issue. I'm getting home from 12-15 hour days with 65-75% battery left. I know that battery life is subjective, but compared to Nexus 5 I was getting home with 25-40%. Nexus was on PA with a kernel that helped improve battery over stock.

Hi, It is probably more productive for you to write what you need from a mobile phone.
ALL the flag ship brands at present have very decent handsets be they Sony, HTC, Samsung, LG, Nokia and Apple. Three different operating systems. What is your preference? Then take a look at the UI, again what is your preference. The options run from the highly specified UI of Samsung and some HTC's to the Google nexus range of vanilla OS.
Signal strength is a must for me.
I prefer Android OS
I like a light UI so Sony if my preferred UI.
Camera doesn't even come on to my list.
Quality of materials and construction rates very high on my list, to that end Sony and HTC are good also Apple but Apples OS is not my choice.
HTC make very VERY nice flagship mobiles BUT signal strength is their weak area, I live way out in the country side with very poor connectivity.
Nokia has had the best signal strength of any mobile I have owned BUT I don't like the OS on present day Nokia.
I listen to music, that is my area of expertise. Nothing to date can match the Sony through headphones for a sound experience.
So..........It's not so much what we like but what fits your needs, Good news is you are spoiled for choice. :highfive:
Ryland
So if you jailbreak iPhone 5s/6/6plus you can unlock the phone by just putting your finger on the home button without unlocking the screen. Is it possible with some tool in Samsung Galaxy s5 by just swiping the pad without turning the screen on making the phone unlock?
Thanks for answers

Yes its a very awesome feature and I think its possible if some dev looks into it. I dont have S5 atm but I am considering buying the phone if this is possible
As of right now, there is no mod that allows this. but i'm sure sooner or later some dev will get it to work, as the posters above me have already said.

It will take a hit on the battery since this feature will be emulated through software since the hardware restricts it. For that to happen we have to modify the kernel to make the cpu stay awake at all times at low power. It's just like the Double tap to wake feature that is also sort of "emulated".
