are you using stock OS or have you put CM on it? im interested to see the true capability of this phone, looks dope. although some of the new "features" scare me.

Pretty tits.

I picked up 2 S4 when they came out. So skipping this generation. But the S4 is the absolute bomb. I imagine the S5 is just as good.

I had a slight issue when I updated to 4.
4.2. My phone would lag to shit when texting. But a few days later and a reboot it was fixed. Samsung making decent phones dawg

being in the business for a long time my top 4 phone picks in order are 1.) Galaxy S5
2.) Samsung Note 3
3.) Htc One M8
4.)iphone 5S

Not biased against iPhones, just hate small screens, and not a fan of their music system.

Nerds, how do I turn off the http option when you click the image insert link on forums? iPhone doesn't automatically add http:// and I hate deleting it every fucking time. Droid forumquesting is seconds lower and I CANT FUCKCING STAND IT

samsung does make good specs but man is the bundled software on their phones shitty as fuck

go with cyanogenmod once there's a stable release, you'll be very happy with it.

Yea its playing through remote desktop. It's leggy but that's the remote desktop apps fault than a limitation of the phone. I'm going to look into more options. WINE for android only does up to solitaire level of games currently

It is hard to find a decent rdp app that still passes 3d graphics over it. I think I used... ultra vnc? But it all sucks. You would think someone would have made some rudimentary exe based support now on the ol droids.

maybe erudites like urself arent smart enouf 2 use it?

Since you're so smart what's the answer to my question?

It works fine on an iPhone but not a Droid. Sounds like inferior design to me.
