I agree. I've been reading up on the flap on some forums and many users just take it out (negating the water blocking functionality of it). It's supposed to be a single screw holding it together. It's also a very easy replacement if it snaps and the replacement lids are a few bucks on ebay.

I left mine on because rain.

The flap is great on my phone. However over time of having my phone in the shower the water somehow got into my earphone jack and now i cannot listen to music with headphones on other then that and the silver chips off the phones pretty good.

I saw the flaps on ebay for 2 bucks. I think it's a simple 1 screw replacement once you remove the battery cover.

Anyone got official s5 lollipop yet from their carrier?

Rogers has rolled it out but I haven't gotten mine yet damn.

OS Upgrade

EDIT: nevermind, I updated by downloading the firmware from sammobile.

Agreed. Very underwhelming after using the echoe rom lollipop 5.01 on my previous S4.

what other apps do you have running on the background? You can try installing Cleanmaster to clean up all the junk on your phone and see if that helps.

Anyone's front camera messed up on their s5. Looks like an o-ring is blocking the top right corner of the phone.

Basically like this but just the top right corner
Spoiler!


Anyone know where I can get it fixed without waiting too long

i heard rooting can unlock wifi passwords and join any wifi, false or true?

The only way I've heard of is against routers that have WPS enabled. Your phone will brute force to get the PIN which will allow you to connect.
