      By default, once you open camera app, in the left side, the second button is selective focus.

      Are you in easy mode? If so, switching to standard mode will will you this feature.

      It can be used as USB port, charging port, MHL port.

      Of course, you can connect your s5 to a projector. But you need an adapter (micro USB MHL to vga). It should cost you less than $20.

      If your projector also supports HDMI input, you can also use a MHL adapter. This one is usually more expensive. But you can also use it to connect your s5 to a TV.

      Spread two fingers apart on the screen to zoom in, and pinch to zoom out.

      The camera icon in the lock screen is available when your screen security is set to swipe. Then you can find the option in Settings–lock screen.

      No, if you change the back cover of your s5, for example, using some s view cover, you will lose the water resistant feature.

      Not sure about your question.

      If the WiFi network turns off when you open an app, then you cannot use the WiFi. Of course, this is not normal. By default, WiFi turns off after screen is locked (and no running processes that require internet connection).

      That means the download booster is not available for that model. This could be due to one of the two possible reasons : 1. No 4g let in the phone; or 2. The carrier removed it.

      S5 is only water resistant, not water proof.

      You need check the specifications for your model, although almost all s5 (SM G900 series) has this feature.

      Including menstral cycles in logs, temperature, mood, anxiety (not just stress) blood sugar, these are all primarily journaling/logging and graphing data which im sure wouldnt be too complex for developers to include……. would also get a thumbs up even if as separate modules integrated in s health like lark

    Ok better explained…..wish list for additional s health modules

    – oxygen saturation and peak flow (respiratory function)
    – blood pressure
    – medication reminders and recording of multiple doses and medications
    – pain/symptom/asthma check (there are surveys with scores) etc medical journal
    – blood sugar
    – fertility – weight temp cycles symptoms tracked/compiled
    – mood tracker, include agitation and anxiety any number of mental health orgs would put their hand up to include their beta apps/research eg NIMH, beyond blue, black dog institute, international bipolar foundation,

    Would build an awesome true health suite

      Not waterproof. it is not designed to be used in rain or under water (screen will not so responsive unless you change the touch sensitivity).

      it is a kind of protection. If you happen to be caught in a rain, s5 may be not damaged., but s4 will very likely be damaged.

      Boot the phone into safe mode (when the phone reboots, press and hold volume up button until it finishes the rebooting). In safe mode, you can uninstall the kids mode.

      Then reboot the phone normal way. If you need kids mode, you can add the widget to home screen. Tap the widget to finish the installation and setup.

      You have to create a PIN (4-digit) during the setup. In most regions, alternative password must also be created.

      No, as I know. A projector needs lens and there’s no space for them in s5.

      S5 and some other galaxy devices support screen mirroring to tv through Miracast. Of course, this requires a Miracast supported tv or a Miracast adapter.

      You can try to clear cache for this app (settings–application manager– All -S Health). You can also try to reboot the phone to see whether it helps.

      If your data are synced with Samsung server, you can also tap clear data.

    I am wondering if in order to use the pedometer on S Health if I need to wear my phone on an arm band or keep it in my pocket or how I need to wear it to keep accurate steps.
