Without power, your Samsung Galaxy S5 will become an expensive paperweight on your table. We received a lot of emails from S5 owners seeking assistance because their device won’t turn on or won’t respond when they press the Power key. The thing about this issue is that there is no easy way to determine what
While Facebook for Android app is one of the most popular apps in the Play Store and has its own support group, it’s not free of problems. In fact, we received a lot of emails from our readers reporting/complaining about the issues they encountered and one of them is the error message “Unfortunately, Facebook has
We’ve received a lot of emails from our readers seeking help as their Galaxy S5 won’t charge or has issues charging. A charging problem is as bad as no power at all. What would you do if your phone’s battery is completely drained? Sure, you can buy a new battery to power it up but
There are two variations to this problem. The first is characterized by the error “Unfortunately, Touchwiz has stopped” and the other by “Unfortunately, Touchwiz Home has stopped.” This post will explain the differences between those two error messages.

I will look into a problem involving a Samsung Galaxy S5 (#Samsung #GalaxyS5) that pops up an error message saying “SD card blank or have some unsupported filesystem.” Obviously, this is a microSD card issue but the word “blank” could mean a couple of things; either corrupted (unreadable) or damaged. Just because the error says
“Hi droid guy! My Samsung Galaxy S5 shuts down on its own and it happens randomly. It started after I downloaded lollipop update. How can I fix it?” That’s just one of the typical emails we received from our readers after the Android 5 Lollipop update was rolled out. Many of those who encountered this
The message counter shows there’s one unread SMS or text message. When you opened it, the message is buried down deep into the thread as if it was sent weeks ago. Have you encountered that problem? We actually received several emails from Galaxy S5 owners complaining about their text messages not in correct order. I,
The “Unfortunately, Internet has stopped” error message you may have encountered with your Galaxy S5 does not actually mean you lost your internet connection. In Samsung’s most recent devices, the term “Internet” is actually relating to its default browser. Majority of Android devices in the market today use “browser” to let their users know it’s
The “Unfortunately, Phone has stopped” is just one of the many error messages you’ll get if your #smartphone’s firmware has issues or some of your apps have conflicts. If you’re an owner of a #SamsungGalaxyS5 and recently upgraded to #AndroidLollipop, there’s a chance you’ll be getting this error message. Based on reports, this error message
We started publishing support articles for Samsung Galaxy S5 last month but we didn’t think we’ll receive hundreds of emails after the first part. Now, we’re on the 9th part of our troubleshooter series and basing on the number of emails we have now, we may reach up to the 30th part in just a
We have received a lot of text messaging related issues from our readers and so we find it necessary to publish this post. The most common among those issues involves Samsung Galaxy S5 that can’t receive texts regardless whether there’s an attached image or not. It’s disappointing to see a Samsung Galaxy S5 that’s unable
“Hi droid guy, my Galaxy S5 won’t turn on after I installed the lollipop update. Please help!” That is just one of the many emails we received from our readers shortly after Android 5 Lollipop update was rolled for the Samsung Galaxy S5. Before anything else, I just want to make a distinction between the
Now, here is one problem that you don’t see more often. Some of our readers, not just Samsung Galaxy S5 (#Samsung #GalaxyS5) owners, reported that their devices just rebooted one day and went into a black screen with a caution: “Downloading…Do not turn off target!” In the upper-left corner of the screen is shown some
“Unfortunately, com.sec.imsservice has stopped.” It’s one of the most annoying error messages Samsung Galaxy S5 owners encountered after updating their devices to the Android 5 Lollipop. We received several emails from our readers who have experienced seeing this error and while it’s not as common as other problems or errors, we find it necessary to
In this post, I will answer four of the screen-related problems with the Samsung Galaxy S5. The issues I included here are from our readers. The first one is about the blank screen that started after the phone fell and hit the floor. Common sense would tell us the drop may have messed up the
The Samsung Galaxy S5 (#Samsung #GalaxyS5) is a powerful phone with really cool features but many owners reported to have experienced sending and receiving text messages, which is one of the most basic functions of a phone. It’s a shame a smartphone as good as it is can’t even transmit 1kb worth of data over
“Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped.” This is the actual message you can get if the Phone app in your Samsung Galaxy S5 crashes or stops working for some reason. If you’re in a call and this error pops up, the call gets dropped automatically and the person on the other line may still think
