If you have not done a reset to factory settings after installing the new operating system Android Lollipop on your Samsung Galaxy S5, it can happen that your saved Bluetooth devices cannot be detected or may not connect. If you have any problems with the Bluetooth connection after the update unfortunately only the following method helps besides a factory reset:

Delete the stored connected Bluetooth devices onto your Samsung Galaxy S5.
Loosen the couplings in Menu --> Bluetooth -> Preferences and then connect your Samsung Galaxy S5 again with the Bluetooth device. This will cause the Bluetooth connection settings that have been disturbed by the update to Android Lollipop work perfectly again and a connection is established.

You now know what you can do without a factory reset, so that your Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android Lollipop connects again properly to already paired Bluetooth devices.

In Android Lollipop you receive through your smartphone a so-called "Haptic feedback" when you make interactions. This can be for example touching the display. If you don´t want to use the "Haptic Feedback" then you must set the following setting in Android Lollipop to disable this feature:

Open on your Android smartphone, the app menu an then the Settings. Tap on "Sounds and Notifications" and then on "vibration intensity". You will find various sliders which allow you to control the vibration intensity of your smartphone. This includes the haptic feedback.

If you use the application "Helium Backup" to back up your app data on your Android smartphone, then the following question may arise:
Where does helium backup stores my app backups?

This question is important because helium backup only offers the following options to save a backup:

• Internal device memory
• Cloud

Since it is a backup app which is used mostly before a factory reset, it makes little sense to backup to the internal memory. So you have to copy the backup folder from internal memory manually via USB cable to the computer. For this purpose, it is important to know where the backup files from helium backup are stored.
You can find the files here, after the Android smartphone is connected to the PC:

phone / carbon /

The folder is not visible to the File Explorer "My Documents" of your Android smartphone. Therefore, you should copy this folder directly to the PC. You know now there you can find on your Android smartphone backups that you have created with "Helium Backup".

It can happen to you after the update to Android Lollipop on your Samsung Galaxy S5 that suddenly old SMS messages are automatically deleted from your smartphone. The reason for this is easily explained.

A safe method is to perform a factory reset. Thus, the entire system will be deleted and then reinstalled. However, since this means a lot of work for you, we would like to present you a less time-expensive method, which can work very well.

Now mark the entry "Wipe cache partition" with the volume down key. With the power on / off button, the entry is marked and the process is started. This usually takes only a few seconds. Then the previously displayed menu appears again. Now select the first entry with "Reboot system now" and run the command again with a press of the power button.Your Samsung Galaxy S5 will now reboot.

You have now successfully performed a wipe cache on your Samsung Galaxy S5. Your phone should now run faster and make fewer problems with Android Lollipop 5.0. If not, then you have to perform a factory reset on your Samsung Galaxy S5.

If you use the new Android Lollipop 5.0  on your Samsung Galaxy S5, it may be that the text from new WhatsApp messages on the lock screen is hidden. Instead, you only see "WhatsApp - hidden content".

If you interfere with this feature and you want to have displayed the complete message on the lock screen again, then you have to do the following settings:

Open on your Samsung Galaxy S5 (Also works on other Android Lollipop smartphones) the app menu and then the settings. Tap here on "sounds and notifications".

With the Android Lollipop 5.0 Firmware Update the Samsung Galaxy S5 got a new feature: the so-called "Smart Lock". Smart Lock is a new feature which allows to set certain places as trusted sites.
These locations are then used to unlock the screen automatically and the pin or another method have not to be entered. This is especially useful if you use the pin or password method of securing the Samsung Galaxy S5.

This is automatically unlocked by Smart Lock, when you are for example at home.
Smart Lock is still in its infancy and the recognition works only about a location determined by GPS or a trusted device that is connected via Bluetooth. For example, define your own car as a trusted location for Smart Lock, when it is connected with the Samsung Galaxy S5. If you are asking yourself, where you can find Smart Lock on the Samsung Galaxy S5, then we would like to describe it briefly here:

On your Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android Lollipop open the app menu and then the settings. Tap on "Security" and scroll in the next submenu completely to the end of the list. In the section "Advanced" you will see the entry "Smart Lock". Tap on the entry and you can configure Smart Lock on your Samsung Galaxy S5.
Now you know where you can find on the Samsung Galaxy S5 the new "Smart Lock" Feature. If you can’t use it, make sure that Smart Lock is enabled in “trust Agents”.
