Not a bad phone, mine has been water resistant, don't trust the waterproof. Noticed it gets hot when the GPS is turned on. If you also disable the build in apps, you get better battery life. Like that it has the micro SD card port. Wouldn't have bought this originally but not a mistake either

I love this phone. I upgraded from a Motorola Atrix 2 last July. I researched the phones offered by AT&T and I went into the store and said I want the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active in Ruby Red. I had them put the tempered glass in the store. It takes good pictures especially in low light and at night, battery life is good I added an app called Battery Saver which is amazing. The phone is not big but does everything it promises. It fell in the water . I took it ad dried it and then put it to charge and it worked good as new. Note to Samsung make the charger cable more durable the cable is thin and gets really dirty. I had to buy a new charger cable. Saw the S6 and S6 active but they do not offer the memory slot so I am staying with the S5 active which is working fine. I get compliments on the phone.

Had the S5 Active for well over a year, now. I've rooted it and cleaned up the OS and it's the best phone I've ever had. I've trudged through swamps (Army) with it in my pocket and it just laughs and keeps going. No complaints.

Short story: S5Active not water resistant. Neither AT&T nor Samsung will stand by their product. Mine was deemed "uneconomical to repair due to liquid" and no replacement provided. It was in my pocket under a raincoat. Did it get wet? Yes. Is it water resistant? Apparently NOT! Don't buy an Active its supposed water resistance!

I have had the galaxy s5 active for a year and a month now. Periodically starting about 7 months ago the home button would quit working and the home screen would turn on an off by itself. It would last a few days then fix itself. After the last big update it didn't do it for several months so I figured it was a software issue that was resolved with the updated. Well a year in and it has started again and it's been going on for a month now. I can work around not having the home button work, but the home screen constantly turning on and off drains the battery big time. I used to get a full use all day now I have to charge the phone mid day. I tried to do multiple resets and did a hard reset and nothing has worked. Please send me suggestions if you think there is a way to fix it.

I had a Galaxy Active S5 since August 2014. Back in July 15, 2015 it was changed under warranty because it turned off when I put it in my pocket. During that first year I took a lot of pictures under water with my kids and nothing happened. My kids were extremely happy playing with the phone under water. Then when I received the replacement, by the way the serial number is 1,510,979 older than the first unit. 10 days later the first time I took a picture under the water it got damaged ( water inside ). I know how to use it, I make sure that everything is closed and secure. It is possible that the replacement was damaged since the beginning???

It just like selling a tv and asking "What remote?". I am going to get a refund if I were you. Don't even bother buying Samsung at a store like that.

Hi
I love my S5 Active.
Right, there are things I would change on it, but all in all, I love it.
Here's what I would change:
1. The power button placement, but that's a general Android phones flaw.
2. It should be possible to completely remove all Samsung apps from it.
