mc_gusto Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Install Good Lock. It brings some refreshing changes to the notifications and app manager drawer.From the Galaxy app store?

Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk I downloaded the apk from a third party. It installed and then the phone reboot with the new notification drawer. It worked fine and it even got rid of the annoying Sprint name that was added on the upper left corner. Let me know if you need me to upload the copy I used.

mc_gusto Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Good lock looks really interesting. It's not working on my s5 tho. I can't get apps to run just the notification shade ui works. None of the buttons work. No home screen. Just blank wallpaper. Might install on my s7 tho. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnjeepmale Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 How is the MM update on this phone? I have a Sprint S5 and thinking about running the update but don't want to run into the RF issues that I have with my Note 5 after the update.

chamb Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Why not? I have two S-5's. Updating to MM caused a very definite degradation in several ways. LTE drops totally at spots where it only got weak before and slowed down. Once the LTE drops, it is slow to return even if you move to a strong area. Phone is just generally slower all around. Occasionally it is almost impossible to answer an incoming 1X call. Phone just does not respond to an attempt to answer the call. I wish I had refused the update. Sad how I had a perfectly working phone and they trashed it with the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened to the S3, and now it looks like it is happening with the S5 now that it has reached the end of life support. It's almost as if Samsung is pushing consumers to buy a new phone...almost! (P.S., the PCA marshmallow update actually made the phone very enjoyable. But from the looks of it, the latest one ruins the phone.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone had any more recent experience with the latest GS5 update? My phone keeps threatening me with the update, but I have successfully fought it off so far. Should I update? Should I not update? Should I do like my daughter and get my GS5 stolen, so I won't need to worry about it? (BTW, Sprint refuses to brick stolen phones. Bah!) Thanks in advance.

The first update to MM degraded my S5 in several ways. I saw nothing positive at all. Just two days ago, some other update was presented to me. I was not sure what it was, but my thoughts were that it might fix some of the issues the original MM update inserted. I am STILL dropping LTE at weak spots that never dropped prior to the MM update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Android Device Manager -> wipe the device remotely. The S5 update corrupted my daughter's movie SD card immediately after update. So if you are going to update, maybe pull the SD card first.
