Samsung Galaxy S5 Problems and Solutions

The star device of the South Korean company, the Samsung Galaxy S5, has already gone on sale in most stores around the world. Some users who rushed to buy it and already have it in their hands, find some software problems but that can be solved, according to Samsung, in future updates.

The latest model of the Galaxy S range has many new features, but it must also be borne in mind that a high-end mobile, recently released, may come with problems or errors until some system update. I can fix it. Below are the failures or inconveniences found during its use.

Errors on the Samsung Galaxy S5

It is not the first time that Samsung has had problems with its newly launched terminals, as it happened last year with the Galaxy S4. One of the problems is the regional blockade, since it has not convinced users, especially those who purchased the mobile in other countries, because it was not for sale in their country.

To activate a European terminal, it is mandatory that it be in a country of the same continent so that it can be activated successfully. We have to take this into account because this regional blockade cannot be ignored.

The screen

According to some users, certain mobiles from the Korean company cause problems in the automatic brightness of the screen since the sensor does not correctly measure the amount of external light. Exaggerated brightness can be observed in semi-dark places.

They also report worrying bugs such as the "Ghosting" effect, when we scroll through web page menus. This error causes images persist on screen but they will be able to solve it with future system updates. So it's time to wait for a major update.

The camera has failed – the camera app is not responding

If you are using your Galaxy S5 and the time comes when you want to use the camera, if it shows you the error message » the camera has failed»Or«camera app not responding» , from that moment the camera is unusable.

Samsung has detected this error and as announced in a statement, those who have this problem should go to the SAT technical service of the Samsung brand or go to the store where they bought the Android phone, where they must check the error and once confirmed, repair or even provide another new Galaxy S5.

This error seems limited to Galaxy S5 in the United States, specifically the Verizon company, but the same problem can occur in other countries, so if you have had to deal with this error, you can do what was previously mentioned.

Waterproof?

As announced in its official presentation, Samsung Galaxy S5 It is waterproof, which would allow it to be used in the pool, rain or shower without any problem. The back cover is sealed but we have to make sure to place it correctly before putting it in the water, because there is a possibility of water entering if that tab is not properly adjusted, so we have to pay attention to that detail.

Some users point out a lack of calibration in the touch sensor, since some functions do not respond well to finger pressure, showing pulses close to where we have really pressed. Nothing that can't be fixed with a firmware update.

Another error is that the fingerprint sensor does not always work properly, since it does not work on the first try, so we have to repeat more than once before being able to unlock the mobile. But all the errors mentioned above are fixed with the firmware update.

So you will have to be patient until Samsung releases the update with the problems resolved, something that for a high-end mobile phone with a fairly high price, should be a thing of the past and come fully refined.

Overheating issues

Many are the users who report problems of excessive heating of the mobile on its back and on the battery. The first thing to do in the case of high temperature on the phone is to go to the settings menu, screen and lower screen brightness and then, lower screen timeout  without use, put it 15 seconds.

Once this is done, we must check how the temperature is going and if it continues with excessive heating, follow these tips to prevent overheating of Samsung Galaxy S5.
