My S5 battery issues were resolved by complete factory reset of the phone.
Especially if you upgraded few times without doing so .

Not forgetting that it also makes the phone look hideous :stuck_out_tongue: Seriously, why not just carry a spare battery?

I've got an S5+ (SM-G901F) which has a better CPU and GPU than this (and support for faster 4G speeds if the UK ever gets them) that I'm looking to sell, might list on FS/FT if anyone is interested

I have had two of these phones and can say it is really good..battery life was amazing and so is the screen. Only downside is that if you drop it, you are likely to break the lcd...I have spent £200 on getting 2 new lcd's and sadly they both broke after a casual drop..now I am left with 2 Samsung S5s with no lcd's!

​Well I'd complain saying I'd like my battery to last as long as my old Nokia n95 but that's not gonna happen. But I agree that charging midday is a bit redic. You should be able to get 1 day minimum on any phone, that's my feeling.

There is an eBay listing at the moment for £160 for this:Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus SM-G901F - 16GB - Shimmery White (EE) Smartphone

Same one?

​Well I updated to Mashmallow yesterday.....and it's slicker than ever

Price is saying £280 now.

280????

It's not the end of the day it's mid day charging that's the problem. What's wrong with complaining about something that can be better quite easily?

Ah saw the new backcover in the Anker listing, but having just watched a youtube video of someone unpacking the Anker I now realise that rather than coming with a new hard backcover which might be possible to make waterproof, the Anker basically comes with a new flexible cover which fits of the phone and the new battery (minus the old original backcover). Which obviously makes it impossible to even attempt to keep the old IP67 waterproof rating.

not showing up on mine, all gone ?

By the way the s5 has an amazing battery life, i get 2 hours more on it compared to my s6 and 1 hour more than my lg g4, Everything is perfect once you disable bloatware the only problem i have is that i really dont like the camera, since ive gotten too used to the s7s camera, but still compared to the lg g3 and z3 camera amazing. Dont forget its waterproof,

Is this the g900f or g901f as i managed to get a 3 month used g901f from eBay, and when benchmarked with my originally g900f I scored higher than the lg g4 and the note 4, about 20k higher than my original g900f. After more research I found the g901f has a snapdragon 805 processor instead of the original snapdragon 801. Funny thing is though that i paid only £160 on it and it still has a year and a half warranty left from samsung.

You must be stuck to your phone all day!

not available in my area (warehouse) now

Comes with one.

The S6 is a much better phone though.

Brilliant phone had mine around 18months. Battery still lasts me a day. When people say there battery doesn't last long they normally have a zillion things running in the background, gps enabled, bluetooth enabled and there screen brightness to max.
I have my screen near the bottom to save battery life and turn all the above off as I just don't need them

Use an app called Greenify.

Class phone! Using it right now! Amazing price. Hot!

too easy to crack the lcd though. the cover over the usb 3 connector breaks and yep... no more updates ... good phone though but maybe something that is updated more than once in a blue moon if Samsung havent released yet another model and retired this.

I'm using this phone. It works. Hot.

Very good phone. I also bought mine last year on boxing day for £300. The screen is excellent, battery life is iffy but at least it's upgradable and replaceable unlike some phones.

Last time I looked the problem with extended batteries is that they need a new back cover (i.e. they make your phone thicker) and then the phone is no longer waterproof. Plus you probably can't find any covers for the new bulkier phone.

Each to their own, and all that, but I think it's a good buy at £175 still. You're getting a great screen and camera. It's also waterproof / dustproof, and has an SD slot unlike the S6.

Was about to download the Prime app but there's mention of being asked to tip the delivery driver through the app :confused:

why do people moan about having to charge a phone daily? I thought this was the normal now? my edge has roughly 37% at the end of each day.

none showing in my location. shame

I've had mine since launch and the battery has been fantastic, getting 2 days easily. It is only now starting to detoriate. It was a great phone but as above its 2 years old, hasn't had an update for a year and probably won't get another. You are much better off buying a, lower spec but newer phone for that money.

Yes its enabled but still doesn't last

Did you enabled power saving mode? I did notice that mine lasts less than a day without power saving enabled

It's a good phone, but not very good battery. charging it daily/2 days.

2 Gen old phone, will not get any software updates

Great phone - going to run mine into the ground now.

Only just bought a new battery as the 3 ones I've had for a couple of years now are loosing their life.

Normally get at least a day out of it (before my batteries started reaching their life.

this combined with the anker 7500mah battery is awesome. just not the zerolemon one... bleh

Is Prime Now geographical. Stock may differ between local warehouses??

Yep can't find it there either, searched using key words and the side menu.

Refurbished

Where is that screen shot from cos can't find it anywhere?

Another vote for S5 good phone and price is hot
