The S5 (like all Samsungs) have really low volume output. It just is not that great of quality. Anyone have any idea or workaround on how to actually boost the volume output from the headphone jack?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RotteRotte:
Haven't noticed that, seems annoying. Did you try the volume booster apps at Google play?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattMJB0188:

on my Sprint GS5 as soon as i removed the magazine tab i could continously scroll in one direction, it wouldnt stop when it hit one end, on the verizon one i got today this doesnt seem to be the case, is there a stupid setting i am not finding?

How'd you remove the My Magazine tab?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilbeef54:
long press on the recent apps button (or one of the home screens) to bring up the screen menu, hit "home screen settings" then uncheck "my magizine"
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lodaserves:
Ill try this also.thanks man!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DieselHog:
I found this too

I spoke with a Samsung rep at Best Buy about it and he said that the Sprint phones were able to circle all the way around like my Verizon GSIII would but for some reason even after removing the "My Magazine" it still won't loop. Hopefully someone finds a solution for this soon.

Hopefully I've put this in the right section, as I believe the questions sections is for help requests rather than general survey style questions (eg the What are you running on your N5 thread).

Anyway, I'm sure we use our phones for a lot more than calling and texting, so post what you use your device for!

Here's some of the things my phone helps me with:

Reminders (Google keep/now, they should be integrated) - I have horrible memory so these help heaps

Timetable (Google Calendar) - use the lock screen widget so I just swipe to see what classes I have

Homework/tasks (Google keep)

Social networking (Fb, telegram, Instagram, snapchat etc)

Media (YouTube, MX player, Vines, Unis video player, uListen)

Tracking food intake (My fitness pal)

Alarm (Alarmpad)

Taking photos of documents and things on the board (Camscanner - highly recommend)

Syncing all my school work that I do on my home computer in case I forget to sync my school laptop before leaving as cloud storage is blocked (Google Drive/Bittorrent Sync)

Browsing XDA/reddit (Tapatalk/Reddit Sync)

That's all I can think of for now, your turn!
[Nexus 5 General] ZacksBuilds:
Google+, Hangouts, Flipboard, Sunrise calendar, YouTube, XDA, Instagram Facebook etc.

No particular order :D

[Nexus 5 General] psp9000333:
goes on the Q/A section, not here. but if you were to ask me, I would say taking phone calls, texting, skyping, playing CPU extensive games such as Real Racing 3, Ravensword 2, GTA SA, etc, listening to music, alarm clock, stopwatch, timer, clock, taking photos/videos, browsing Facebook, 9GAG, XDA Forums, using Chrome, Google Keep, Google Calendar, and most of all, tweaking my phone to the best of my ability to make things look right and just right.
[Nexus 5 General] GTI6speed:
I normally just use mine for the basics...calling, texting, important school email etc. It's also my primary alarm clock. Aside from that, I also use Keep to make sure I know what's due when and when I need to be where, not to mention music and social networking. I guess you could say I don't mess with my phone as much as I did when I had my HTC One. Although the N5 is rooted with a few mods, I try not to get too caught up in the realm of XDA as it does get quite addicting :p
[Nexus 5 General] wifesabitch:
Always start my day turning off my alarm, stock clock application is fine for me.

I use my phone as a music player A LOT, PowerAmp doesn't seem to work well with this phone for me so I use Google Play Music now.

Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Keep keep me organized. Office Mobile + OneDrive is my choice for office suite and cloud storage.

Most of my reading is on Chrome and Newstand.

[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
My phone is my college companion: I often take notes by connecting a Bluetooth keyboard, read PDF documents, write and read emails, manage my cloud documents, and share its 3g connection to my laptop.

Then I use it for text messages (Hangouts, WhatsApp...) and Internet browsing, sometimes as a music player.
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:
Email..
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Everything it can do. Calls, texts, email. Some games. Web browsing. YouTube, XDA, etc. Use Wallet & NFC to pay for stuff at a couple gas stations and stores in my areas. I use it to record notes (quick record feature on custom ROM). I use it as my alarm clock. I have an app to track my work hours and how much I make per hour. To track my expenses. As a GPS. HDMI mirroring to my TV for Netflix. Social networking. I use it as a camera as well. Pretty much everything it is capable of doing, I use it to do. I love it.

At the same time, writing this list I also realized how dependent I am on my phone. It's gonna get real once SkyNet takes over.

I have it all day right next to me hocked up to my stereo via Bluetooth. I just love how easy it is to hear music all the time. And even if I'm not a home, I'm using my Klipsch S4 for that.

And of course for WhatsApp, XDA and for taking photos with the lovely camera. I love playing around with it (trying out new Roms, kernels and apps), tweaking it to my needs. I love my phone. :)

What kinds of glitches are you having with Poweramp? I've never had any issues with it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Yeah, no glitches / issues for me as well! Runs smoothly..

If you want a change, you could try Musixmatch or rocket player..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psp9000333:
its like from now, if I add music files, more specifically, .aac files, the time of the track has seemed to double, yet starts at the middle of that doubled time, so it plays normally. why am I looking for a new player is because it actually cuts the track at the end too early, and I want to actually listen to entire track.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
I don't know about the doubling thing, but the end of the track being cut off is probably because of your crossfade / gapless settings which can be adjusted.

Personally, the only music app I ever used was Poweramp until I switched to Google Music All Access when I bought this phone. I haven't looked back.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psp9000333:
what I meant was that it actually cuts off 2-5 seconds before the track ends. I've used the Poweramp forum to discuss my problems with little help.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Doubling of track time is a problem with the specific music file and not with PowerAmp..

Even I have faced this a few times but it was because of the bad file... I re-downloaded the file from a different source and everything was ok!

Seriously, there isn't any music app which I've found better than PowerAmp and I've been using it since ages!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
As the camera modual us not powered up it can't be a light, The color is actually a reflection of light, the different color is the difference between lenses. It may also be the difference between a camera for i9500 and i9505?

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

P.s. I have an i9505 and my lense is green.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LotoTutu:
Not. Different colors is because of different factories.

The S4 rear camera made in Vietnam has purple core.

And the rear camera made in Tianjin China has green core.

The quality of them are the same.

So the I9505 has green core and purple core.

And the I9500 also has green core and purple core.

You can't distinguish the different of i9505 and i9500 rear cameras from the core color.

Witrigs.com explains the difference in detail in its Galaxy S4 i9505 rear camera page.

Band Tab

Many thanks!!! You are the best. I tried to copy your settings and my phone (Cingular 8125 with Dopod 838 ROM) accepted them. Sure thing my model has no guts to support UMTS etc, however I've got these long awaited and "all-the-websites-and-forums" searched settings in place. Having tested my Cingular SIM on manual network type switching (GSM/WCDMA/UMTS/AUTO resulted in default of AUTO net pickup. Soon after I open the Band Tab all visible selections go transparent. Well there got to be something else that holds this selection in Auto intstead of for instance GSM only. Despite all this and that I am happy to have the TAB.

Thanks again!!!
