        Just got the S5 Neo. And I'm having an annoying problem with it (aside from the lagging). Whenever I press the wake up button (to wake it from sleep) it turns on, and turns right back off... It does this up to 3 times before I can get it to stay on. Also, I have the option to keep it unlocked in certain places that I tell it to (like home for example), but it still asks me to type my pin on there, even though I'm at home. Is anyone else having these problems? I only have 3 more days to return this phone, so I'd like to try to get this issue fixed before I make the decision to return it.

          I bought s5 neo. The phone runs games fast and no heating while playing. I play need for speed no limit, fifa 15 and some others no lagging. The only problem is facebook app, its lagging. Is this the problem of the phone or fb app? and the other question is which phone is faster s5 or s5 neo?

            linux4kix, 05 Oct 2015The S5 Neo is actually the phone I have been waiting for. ... moreyou should like metal, it is a thermocontactor, if it isn't too hot it means the heat is trapped inside.

                  I finally took the plunge and bought the Galaxy S5 Neo, from using the Galaxy S2, which, in my opinion, is the best of the galaxies! This phone is lovely looking, however features look and feel primitive and slow. Very happy with it though and worth the £309.99 I paid. Didn't want to be locked into a 24mth contract! I just won't be able to eat until the end of the month if that! I only have a couple of issues. When I make a call screen goes black until I press the home key and voice notes on Whatsapp are practically inaudible - any suggestions please! And, what exactly is the difference between the S5 and S5 Neo?

                    The smartphone is fast and responsive, has a wonderful display, is lighting fast on internet. But, despite some missing sensor, the worse thing is the camera. Just forget the one of the S5, not only for the lack of ois, but, and it's the most terrible joke from Samsung, for the anachronistic AF speed. I've a two years and a half old S3 that is simply faster. So, the camera has no more Phase Detection AF, and has a very, very slow "traditional" (contrast detection) autofocus. It's a very pity, because sensor quality and F/1,9 are both on top. In few words: camera was one of the good of the old S5 (at its time probably the best on the market), and is one of the major weakness in this S5 neo. I've bought this phone two weeks ago and now I'm thinking of sell it away. S5 is sell at same price: I can survive to the usb with its rubber cover, to the unpleasing and malfunctionig fingerprint sensor, to the cpu overheating, BUT I can't survive to a camera with this poor performance.

                      About battery life...
                      The first battery cycle was impressive: 30h (7h offline), 6 hours of screen on (brightness level: 50%), 30 minutes of calls, a lot of What'sApp texting, mail (no push), no gaming.
                      After last update, it seems a little bit worse: dozens of Google "services" always running that wake-up phone (why Google? why more and more?!). I will test it for a few more days...

                          It's not so cheap. Same price range as its predecessors. Hardware and software-wise it's a pretty fair deal.

                              Ive been reading the specs and comparing it to other phones but Im thinking. This phone and price sounds too good to be true. So Im wondering why its so cheap?
                              I know about the processor. but that cant be the only thing kepping the phone so cheap They must have taken out something else. something you dont realize youre missing untill you have bought the phone.

                                I have used this phone for a while now and done about 6 factory restores because of battery drain issue. It also has a serious LTE (4g) Issues in nordic countries and will drop from 4g to 3g every time someone calls you and you have to restart the phone after to get the 4g running again. The Phone can be used only 4 hours or so before the battery dies... I did the last factory reset today because my phone shut itself down over night despite having no apps open on background and when I went to sleep it had 64% battery. Do not buy this unless you are ready to fight to have it fixed because depending where you bought this piece of garbage this problem might or might not be covered by warranty because it is actually android and firmware problem. I had the exact same problem with the new S4 LTE version but luckily there is a root and custom roms available to fix this. However S5 Neo does not have that as an option, atleast not yet.

                                  I bought last week the Samsung Galaxy S3 NEO may very good in specs & price but INDEED VERY POOR in actual life performance .
                                  It worked for a couble of days with no problems at all.
                                  In a previous forum I state that I could not log into my email account.
                                  After 45 minutes on tel with CYTA emploey he could not help me.
                                  But after parallel run with my old SGS3 managed to set the correct incoming & outgoing server & was ok , but not for long time .
                                  On Sunday October the 18th mid day the mobile started ringing all alone with a black screen & could not stop it,s I had to remove the battery to stop it from ringing.
                                  After I have restared it , it could not recognise the sd micro 16GHz NEITHER log into the wifi .
                                  On Monday took it back to CYTA shop NAXOU str. LYKAVITOS NICOSIA from where I bought.
                                  After about 2 hours of trying to load new software , I was told the phone was ok, it read again the sd card & log into the wifi.
                                  On my intistance that I an not happy with this mashine I strongly ask to let me have another phone of same brand & model or even go for same brand or another model.
                                  Instead ( after having very strong arguments not only with the graund emploees but with high rang managers )they dicided to sent it to the service depo of SG in Cyprus for furtehr invastication into the problem. I was also told that I should have downloaded the new sofware myself.
                                  This absolutely rediculous to blame the customer for NOT dowloading the new software, something they shouls have done before delivering the phone to me.
                                  I shall revetr as soon as the phone is back in my hands for any further comments.
