[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Thanks for the detailed comparison between the two!

A couple things I have seen mentioned regarding the S5 are horrible speaker loudness and quality as well as crap cell reception.

Can you comment on the above issues?

Also how was battery life between the two devices?
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazeco:
Speaker:

The S5 has a horrible speaker. It's true. I hate listening to it. It actually makes me NOT want to watch videos on it without headphones.

Cell Reception:

I haven't tested call quality, I've heard it's worse on the S5 and tend to believe that based on my GS4. I'm on a T-Mobile $30/mo plan with 100min of talk time. That tells you how often I use a cellphone for talking. :)

Battery:

About the same. Both keep the same charge overnight. I'd tend to be up about 10% with the S5 vs. M8 at the end of the day. I would not base a purchase decision on this factor. If you need a removable battery you've already ruled the M8 out.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lordpelvis:
In the development section you didn't mention much. Of course there's tumbleweeds in the S5 section and a lot in the M8 section. I can say that after converting from Sense to Google Play that its not only faster on my M8, but battery life is better. Not to mention 0 bloat. S5 is a great phone for people who are OK with stock. I chose the M8 for flexibility and being able to do with it as I choose. Great review though.
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazeco:
I prefer stock so I can keep the best camera software. That applies to both devices.

I suspect development will be equally strong on both.
[Galaxy S 5 General] GuestK00431:
You lost me reading when you said the S5 has less lag and better input than the M8 once you did all those things. M8 is smooth with doing no tweaks and the input is way better than the S5 's touch screen.

Been tempted to switch to the S5 for water proofing and battery door access but I'm finding it hard to part with my M8, its pretty much the perfect smartphone if you can see past the back camera. Its not a rubbish camera by any means but they can do better.
[Galaxy S 5 General] carbonize:
A more comprehensive comparison from GSM Arena - http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s5_vs_htc_one_m8-review-1067.php
[Galaxy S 5 General] carbonize:
The first two ways you list to turn on the M8 will seriously drain your battery as it means the touch screen is always on.
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazeco:
To the M8's credit, HTC gets around this by only activating that option when you are holding the device. This is why double tap doesn't work when the device is playing music and laying flat on the desk. I did not notice significant battery drain compared to the S5 with these features enabled.
[Galaxy S 5 General] carbonize:
S5 had it's own battery drains such as smart stay. Then you get the stupid "ok Google" command which the phones are always listening for.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Damn that sucks, have you owned the S4, is the S5's speaker worse than that on the S4? This is a big concern for me as I need to be able to hear my phone ring during the day but I also like to listen to music with the phone speaker itself. Although I value a good camera more than the speaker, both are still quite important to me.

Regarding cell reception, did you notice the phone losing LTE where other phones were able to maintain LTE signal, this seems to be a common complaint from people. I don't talk too much on the phone but I use data quite a bit.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 General] BlueGoldAce:
My s5 holds lte and signal in general better than my nexus 5 and my iphone 5s.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dk_iceman:
The s5 speaker clearly is not as god as m8, but not that bad, for watching youtube, netflix i find it loud and clear.. Yea not the Best but better than my note 3, lg g2 or my friends s4..

Call quality on s5 is clearly better than both m8 units i had.. Loud and clear, no creakling Sounds or hissing linke the m8..

Signal strengt I find pretty good on s5 i actually have lte and 3G signal where my girlfriends iphone 5 and friends Sony z1 signal are wors often only on edge. normally in my house we have poor 3G signal.. S5 is pretty good...

Wifi signal strengt is also better than previous Samsung models i've ovned..

I returned my frist m8 because of screen problems.. And sold the second m8 Unit a week after because it was unpleasent to hold in my hand.. And the display just seems Way to yellow toned even checked other units..

So wierd enough the model In the start hated the most is the one I stuck with and preffered over the m8 today
[Galaxy S 5 General] GSeeker:
yes! How to disable this?:crying: Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazeco:
It's equivalent to the S4. It's usable, without question, but it's not a pleasant experience. I still use it when I take a shower, I still use it when I give my child a bath, etc. You'll hear it, it just doesn't have great fidelity compared to the M8.

The camera on the S5 is to the camera on the M8 like the speakers on the M8 are to the speaker on the S5.

I have no issues with cell/LTE reception.
[Galaxy S 5 General] anderszz:
Thank you for the comparison/review of the phones - I really appreciate it!

I am right now on an older version of the iPhone and due for an upgrade and have long been thinking of the S5 but I wonder if you can comment on the sound quality and volume through the headphone jack?

I have used a galaxy Note phone before (2 months) and besides being too big for me I found both the in call volume as well as music volume via headphones to be too low compared to the iPhone. Do you have the same experience?
[Galaxy S 5 General] carbonize:
How to disable which one? Smart stay can be disabled from the notification area but there are other motions you may want to switch off. As to the OK Google you will find it under the voice search section of the input and voice menu.
[Galaxy S 5 General] simacca:
This is my first Lte phone and I get I get a 4g signal indoors so am impressed with signal strength on this handset.
[Galaxy S 5 General] GuestK00431:
How's the signal strengh compared to the M8? Its really good on my M8 and generally does better than my 5S.
[Galaxy S 5 General] klownem:
what one has the better headphone out as I mainly use my phone for listening to music.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Ave666:

Are you from I9003?
[Galaxy S 5 General] simacca:
Note 2
[Galaxy S 5 General] carbonize:
HTC had the advantage there but new and better headphones are cheap enough. I'm hoping something like Boeffla Sound will make it to the S5 soon.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Ave666:
Seems I have meet you somewhere in xda
[Galaxy S 5 General] simacca:
Maybe you have. I only use this account on xda.
[Galaxy S 5 General] fade2black101:
I have a Note 2 but I'll be interested to know if something like viper4android works on the S5 or M8 before I upgrade.
[Galaxy S 5 General] austinslater25:
camera software

Great review, thanks for sharing.

Are you saying if I use Nova launcher or other third party launchers I won't take as good pictures? I thought once you opened up the camera app, launcher uses is irrelevant? Am i wrong?
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Launcher is irrelevant to camera app. Nova has no effect on the ability of the phone to take pictures.

If you are to flash your phone to a custom rom or to the GPE software then the camera quality may decline. GPE devices take worse pictures than their stock counterparts.
[Galaxy S 5 General] OBE-1:
Microphone at high level..

Tossing up between the S5 and the M8 coming from the HTC One.. On my one when recording say a concert the Mic does an awesome job at recording cleanly and not distorting. On my wife's S3 sound is distorted when recording high volumes. HTC uses a dual membrane Mic on the M7 and I suspect that same technology on the M8. Does anyone know if Samsung has resolved this issue with the S5? If anyone has some footage taken with an S5 at a concert it would be cool to compare. Thanks OBE-1
[Galaxy S 5 General] naouris:
Not sure why if you post a thread like this in the M8 forum they will close it by saying that no comparisons are allowed and here it's fine. Moderators can you please answer that
[Galaxy S 5 General] peRFect!:
Didn't u read the topic?

He has just given his opinion on what made him chose S5 over M8.. And i feel it's useful cos many people including me are curious to know the advantages each phone has over the other!
[Galaxy S 5 General] carbonize:
Please reread his post. He is saying if you posted a similar topic in the M8 forums saying why you choose the M8 it would get closed.
[Galaxy S 5 General] peRFect!:
Okay.. I understood what he meant now! :P

I thought he wanted this thread to get closed.. My mistake!

I apologize..
[Galaxy S 5 General] naouris:
I got absolutely nothing against this thread on the contrary i find it useful as well i just wish that the mods in the M8 forum would let post the same kind of threads
[Galaxy S 5 General] peRFect!:
[MENTION=5204519]naoris[/MENTION]- yeah.. i interpreted ur statement wrongly.. so my apologies!

it's always nice to know about the pros and cons of phones without the fanboy bashing..

perhaps they are a lil strict out there in the m8 forum.. :P
[Galaxy S 5 General] avocco:
I think the S5 is a beautiful piece of kit. But it's let down by the software. This is one thing that drives me crazy.

I used the S5 for a while and the micro lags and stutters made it feel like I was using a fake china clone.

Take a look at the comparison below. I honestly hope they are able to tweak the UI for future devices. That's the only thing that's holding Samsung back at the moment.

[Sony Cross-Device General] king960:
Hi there, I come with an idea. As we know some people suffer from disability, disability to unlock devices with "bootloader unlock allowed : no" (god god damn it). It's truely annoying to be limited by a carrier even IF device is simunlocked.

Going back to the subject I have an idea (known by everyone) to start a bounty for making our devices unlockable. The thing that devs are producing, mainly for free is notable. What about encouraging devs to work on workaround or something like that... It's just an idea, taken from other forums, maybe a kexec could be achieved?

What do you think about it?

Umm and sorry for being so chaotic.
[Sony Cross-Device General] funky0308:
Try but something like this will never work.

First thing is that all devs and users who wants freedom always buy unlockable devices.

Second thing is - money was something that doesn't mean anything on XDA (for all real devs - I'm not talking about donations, that's something else)

Just check on bouny for rooting Z1s, there's a guy with a fully working root method and he won't "sell" it, not even for 700$

And the third thing is - that's bootloader and I really doubt someone even could do that.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sathron:
Hello there!

I wanted to ask you guys to share your opinions about gaming experience on the amazing Xperia Z2. I love the phone so far and it hasn't disappointed me once, but games like Pou, Kingdom Rush: Frontiers or Cytus do feel a bit laggy at times. I wonder if it's because of my background apps (or some particularly heavy app) taking up the memory space...

What do you think?

Best regards,

-Sathron
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omersak:
Might be because of thermal throttling.

With your Rom is it possible to read NTFS USB key?

I dont know. if it not work with the stock fw, it doesnt work. I must say, i dont own this device. So i cant test all things yet. But mostly was sorted out. i hope so.:)

Try "StickMount" from PlayStore. It should afaik work.

Thanks for your quick answer, i have tried this application but it doesn't work.

May be in many weeks it will be one for.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android Developmen] hanspampel:
Im not totally sure, but normally it should read ntfs files. I think you have to install some drivers in the app. Ive meant ive read something else. But not sure atm.

I'm going to search ;)
