    Is my screen messed up? I can't tell what's up!!

    I noticed a while back that my white doesn't look very "white" on my S5 but it wasn't till I put it side by side with another phone that it really is noticeable. The rest of the colors seem ok, but when you have a white screen it's more of a cream color IMO. It was a second hand phone as a gift...

    Why is my S5 Active such a battery hog?

    Why is the battery life so bad on this S5 as compared to my Sony Z3? This thing burns through the battery even when in standby. For example. Yesterday I was out hunting deer on a stand. My battery was at 30% and dropping fast at around 4:00, so I put the phone into Ultra Power Saving mode. I did...
