If you are using on your Samsung Galaxy S5 a security method to unlock the lock screen, it's helpful if you can show your contact information on this. Because if you lose your phone, then nobody can notify you because of the lack of your contact information. For this reason a secure way is in addition to the emergency contacts  to place a note on the lock screen, in which a contact information is entered.

We tell you now, how you can leave a note on the lock screen of the Samsung Galaxy S5 .

Open the following submenu:

Apps --> Settings --> Lock Screen --> Owner information

It will now open a text field where you can enter a text that will appear on the lock screen of the Samsung Galaxy S5. A sample text might look like this:

"Lost property - please call the following phone number: * Your-Number * Thank you =)"

If your Samsung Galaxy S5 is lost, then there is this text and the possibility that your smartphone will get back to you. It is a very good possibility that we urgently recommend everyone who has secured his lock screen by Pin, fingerprint or pattern.

It is the function enabled on your Samsung Galaxy S5 that by pressing the Power On/ Off button, the lock screen immediately will be activated and your phone thus is locked. This function is usually quite useful if you want that the smartphone is quickly blocked by a pin or by a pattern or fingerprint, but can also be annoying. Luckily, you can disable this function in Android. How? We will explain it to you now in our article.

Open on the Samsung Galaxy S5 the menu and then the settings. Tap at "lock screen" for the next submenu. Scroll all the way down here until you see the entry "Lock immediately with On/ Off". Now remove the check mark in the check box to disable this feature in Android. You can now no longer lock the Samsung Galaxy S5 using the Power button.

As of now, the Samsung Galaxy S5 will lock automatically only after the expiry of the lock screen timeout.

If you notice on your Samsung Galaxy S5 that the first GPS fix takes a long time, then the reason could be that the AGPS data is outdated. If that's the case, then it may be necessary to update the A-GPS data with your Samsung Galaxy S5.

A-GPS stands for Assisted GPS and is a way to more accurate and faster positioning by GPS satellites on the smartphone.

The GPS system of the Samsung Galaxy S5 uses with activated AGPS the mobile network and thus the location of the cell towers for determining the position. With that option the Samsung Galaxy S5 can receive faster and more accurate location data. Usually enormous time is saved, because without A-GPS the locating of the position takes up to five minutes. With A-GPS, the determination may be already done after 15 seconds.

However, it may be that as we wrote at the beginning of the article, that the  A-GPS data needs an update on the Samsung Galaxy S5. This is usually the case when the Samsung Galaxy S5 takes very long time for locating the own position.  Therefore, we now show you a tip on how the A-GPS data can be upgraded on the Samsung Galaxy S5.

Unfortunately, Android has no integrated function for this, therefore you need to download the following free app from the Google Play Store:
Download GPS Test from the Google Play Store.

Do you have the app installed, please open it. Turn now, if not already done, the GPS of your Samsung Galaxy S5 to "On". Then open with the three-point symbol at the top right the menu within the GPS Test app. Select in the pop-down menu these options:

• Clear A-GPS
• Update AGPS 

You have now reset the A-GPS data successfully on the Samsung Galaxy S5 and then reloaded the new data . Your phone should now locate you via GPS fast and as known before.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 offers the possibility to take videos in 4K. Through the built-in camera and processor performance it is possible to record such high-resolution 4K videos with a smartphone. Especially as more and more television can play 4K videos and movies, it makes perfect sense to record videos in 4K resolution with the Samsung Galaxy S5.

However, the setting of your smartphone is presetted from the factory to "only" Full HD. The background is that 4K requires a lot of memory for the video file and therefore your internal device memory would be occupied very quickly. With Full HD you can record videos much longer. We want you to show now how to record on the Samsung Galaxy S5 videos in 4K and what setting you have to set iwithin the camera app.

Open the camera app and then tap on the gear icon to open the settings for the camera. You now find various tiles on your display. One of them is called: video size

Tap on this tile and a window will open. Choose "UHD 3840x2160 (16: 9)" what corresponds to the 4K video resolution. Finish! Now, if you record a video with your Samsung Galaxy S5, then this will be recorded in the best 4K video resolution. But keep in mind as mentioned above, that your internal space will be used up very quickly if you use this setting on your Samsung Galaxy S5.

You know now how you can take videos in 4K or UHD on the Samsung Galaxy S5.
