I got a Casemate Case, he said its almost as strong as the Outterboc but is slimmer and looks better in my opinion

I have a 2012 Pilot EXL-RES, I previously had an iphone and it paired perfectly with my Pilot, I upgraded to a Samsung S5 on Monday and it will not connect. I added the code into the phone it says "paired" but then says "no connection". Is this a compatibility issue with the phone and the truck? Anything I can try?

Posted via RS Mobile | Best buy in central city, I just asked him if I was eligible to get a watch on an upgrade with Rogers and he said no, but he offered to "price match it". I'm not exactly sure what he did, but end result was I got it for $50. Guy I spoke to was zakir and I believe he works morning shift. Posted via RS Mobile | |

You'll have to buy the optional wireless charging case.

Have been using the S5 for about a week (got it as a present). Honestly I can say I don't feel a difference between the S4 and the S5 in terms of everyday functions. Both phones feels just a snappy and fast (after you disable a bunch of samsung apps and some features). The only difference is that I feel the S5 have better battery life. Those who have the S4 there is no need to upgrade. Actually between the S4 and the S5 I like the S4 more because it is smaller. The S4 is more rounded around the corners so it is a smaller phone overall. The S5 feels a lot bigger due the more rectangular shape so it does feel more bulky in pockets.
In terms of the UI and layout the S4 beats the S5 by miles. The UI on the S4 looks more clean and everything is easy to find and makes sense where they are at. The S5 have too much color in the UI(too blue) also the settings and options are all over the place, making it difficult to find specific items. Overall I feel like the S5 took a step backward with this. They should have gone with a more simpler UI and maybe make touchwiz more like pure android.
Just like the S4, the S5 have a lot of junk/uesless apps install. The new health app they have isn't all the useful and the heartrate monitior requires you have still to use it. Even then it works maybe 6 to 7 out of 10 times. I didn't even bother with the finger print scanner. Is just a stupid way to unlock your phone. You have slide the fingers down and your finger have to be straight and it only read the print vertical. Compare to the iphone 5s fingerprint scanner, it needs a lot more work. With the iphone I can just place my finger on the fingerprint scanner and it will scan it. I don't have to put my finger in a certain way or move it in a certain way.
Camera, not much I can say since if the pics looks decent to post online is good enough for me. It does feel a bit faster by not much. Now I am not sure how it will compare to the LG G3.
Audio seems alright, not the loudest and seems decent at best.
What I hate with the S5 is the fact that they cover the usb port with a flap. The flap don't feel secure and I am sure it will break pretty easy. It is also annoying to open and close it everytime you charge the phone or connect to the Computer. This would have been fine if the S5 have wireless charging built in (like the Nexus5). Sadly it does not, and in order to get wireless charging you have to buy either the back cover or the flip cover sold by Samsung. With the back cover though it will add some bulk to the phone so if you do have it, you won't be able to fit the phone into any case. The Flip cover is expensive and I don't like to use a flip cover.
Overall I say Smasung play it safe this time. They didn't do too much to the phone to give us the "Wow" factor. The S5 is a boring phone and it doesn't really stand out from all the smartphones out there (IE OnePlusOne, Find7a, LG G3, HTC M8). They all seem to have some special points even though some of them is not that great. I would say if people have the S3 is a nice upgrade. But if you have a cell phone from last year, I don't think is a worthy upgrade.

Has anyone noticed battery life has gotten much worse over the past 6 months? I was able to 1.5 days out of 1 charge I am lucky to get one day now with minimal usage.
