saw this deal on RFD. its the quick button.  $0.39 Android Shortcut Key - RedFlagDeals.com Forums
if anyone is interested. paid a total of 0.45c for it. this one only allows clicks to launch shortcuts. ie one click, two click, three click.
this is not to be mistaken with this one on kickstarter. this one allows a lot more customization with the clicks and length of press. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ref=nav_search

probably in the wrong thread but i didn't want to start a new one.
i just got the s5 and i just got the spigen galaxy s5 case slim armor view case ( Galaxy S5 Case Slim Armor View - Galaxy S5 - Galaxy - Samsung - Brands | Spigen)
for some reason, when i open or close the lid, it doesn't auto wakeup/sleep. is there any special settings that i have to adjust?
just fyi, i'm asian and i kept the plastic protection film on the inside of the sview. not sure if that will affect anything.

S5 owner here. When I got the Samsung flip cover case the wakeup worked without me doing any config.
I also returned it cause I didn't like it.

Just pop by the Samsung store at Metro / RC and they should figure it out for you.

Thought you couldnt get OTA updates if your phone has been rooted. You would need to unroot and then download the OTA and then reroot after. At least thats what its like with most phones.
I had to unroot my phone in order to update with latest OTA. But when I even tried to download it, the phone said it has been modified and didn't let me download the update. Not sure how come you were able to get to 25%.

woke up this morning, noticed that my phone downloaded an update and said that update has bug fixes, pressed ok and went back to sleep. Noticed that bluetooth audio doesn't glitch out anymore and doesnt take random screen shots either when the phone freezes

Try navigating with your phone files and deleting the downloaded OTA. Then redownload it and apply the update with the new file. I know if you have a break in your download or something, it could make the file incomplete. Thus when you try to install it, it wont get past a certain %.
Happened to me on a different phone, deleting the update and redownloading it fixed the problem.

^ Agreed.
Sometimes I love this phone, but when it comes to email and more 'work' related tasks, it drives me crazy. Makes me miss my Blackberry (only sometimes! lol).
This phone should be so much more crisp and snappy. I've done pretty much everything I can think of to help this, short of rooting it  | |

I find most of the samsung phones a bit laggy. The s5 is actually a big improvement in this area but I'm sure as the new updates come out, it to will be a bit laggy. Thats how they get you to get the next model  | |

Been a year and 3 months since I've had an S4.. This is the longest I've had a phone without switching. I'm still happy with it. =)
Not sure what my next phone would be though..

^^ Samsung S6!
I don't know. I don't really like the S4. The screen is not bright enough in sunlight and the battery life isn't that great.
