I'm experiencing two issues:
1. The time on my mobile is one hour ahead of the correct time. I've tried to reset the time but it doesn't work? Help
2. I'm using WeChat, does anyone know if the phone stores all the photos I've taken and sent? If so do I need to empty this every now and then?

Thanks

    Red Ox, 27 Mar 2014Samsung Galaxy S5 is just a minor update to S4. There's not... moreForgot about the old boring recycled design and parts part.

    Every phone company is using same old design. Looks and feel are preference.
    As well as plastic, glass, and aluminum all three are cheap recyclable material.
    So invalid points all around.

    As well as this is poly carbonate. Not cheap plastic. It has a plethora of advantages all around in cost production, malleability, ease of production, durability, heat resistance, signal interference, ergonomics, and so forth.

    As well as water proofing was one of the things to write home about. And show us another phone besides the s5 with an Amoled display that is water proof...it's the world's first....but nothing to write home about...as well as still having sd slot and removable back/battery. Second only to the Galaxy Active.

    So Samsung has made metal phones, water proof phones, and Amoled water proof phones all with sd and removable back/battery. And are still ergonomic....what's everyone else's excuse????

      Red Ox, 27 Mar 2014Samsung Galaxy S5 is just a minor update to S4. There's not... moreWow...good job on making the most unrelated, biased, illogical, side tracking, contradicting post on this page.
      Would you like a cookie?

      Please tell me where that has anything to do with what I replied to or the initial illogical reply to me or my reply to that?
      And where did I say it was a major update? Al though it's a bigger one than the rest of you haters want to admit. Especially comparing it to the minor update iPhone makes every year or the z2 which is a smaller update..as well is the HTC. And g pro 2 so far is just playing catch up to the note 3.

      So if the s5 is that minor than every thing else this far is pitiful.

      And camera is same as bsi??? You really suck at pretending to understand technology huh? And of course the 1020 is better. That and 808 are the best. And that's due to multiple reason including having huge sensors and great optics...however sadly a lot of advantage comes from sheer pixel amount and the 1520 is a great example of that. To which comparing it's 20mp purview ois 6 lens sensor to note 3's 13mp no post not 6 lens sensor takes more detailed daylight shots and has better tuned mode shots like panorama and hdr. Which Samsung has done best in for a while now. And even it's 1080p was best let alone it's 4K.

      And let's not forget the zoom which having more than double the pixels is the only true advantage Lumia has camera wise.

      Then there is Samsung history in mobile cameras. They have always been among the top. And they only outsourced to Sony from s2-s4. Before that they made their own. And they were only really rivaled by Nokia. They released the first to many camera updates up to releasing the first 12mp which was on top and then among the best for quite some time. They even released first hd recording and playback in mobiles. As well as now 4k.

      And on using Sony sensor they made them work better than Sony could. And now this one sensor Sony has WAS the only one with an advantage. But now that's changed after not very long. Plus bringing reduced noise, better light management, and real time hdr are some nice improvements.

      Sure Sony makes great sensors. But Samsung has always been ahead.
      I don't say these things because I like only Samsung. I like all good tech and companies...which is why I don't like apple. It's just knowing the facts. Nothing more or less. And it's funny to watch jealous haters scramble on every page and twist their version of Samsung hate depending on which company they like.
      It's fun to hate the ones onto I guess.

      And I don't bash on apple or go to all their pages. I state facts. And if I reply to someone doing so that means I'm replying to a troll and lies...huge difference.

      So troll again? You really might want to think next time before trolling in areas on pages where you have no relevant knowledge even to a beginner's level.

        Anonymous, 27 Mar 2014And then comes you to defend...Ah the never ending... Just... moreSamsung Galaxy S5 is just a minor update to S4. There's nothing in it to write home about. The design is old and boring with cheap recycled body material. ISOCELL is just a gimmick as it is same as BSI sensors and Lumia 1020 clearly beats Samsung Galaxy S5 in terms of picture quality. Only Samsung fanboys will say that Galaxy S5 is best. You're there on every Apple article bashing Apple and praising Samsung, so i guess you'll try to defend Samsung, troll. You call others troll where infact you are the one and you know nothing about technology.

          Just because they used normal words and wrote their words to seem truthful does not make it so...Prettying up a completely backwards statement does not make it logical...
          When you are that far off from the truth you are a trooling fanboy and do not deserve the respect of a pretty comment in return...just lucky to get one...
          of course me explaining it to one like you defeats half the purpose.
