Questions about the Samsung Galaxy S5
Hey all,
I have my S5 now and I love it, but I have some questions. Is there an option to set a time for the phone to power on and off automatically, and also is it possible to be able to add more contact details like phone numbers under a contacts entry?

Re: Questions about the Samsung Galaxy S5
Why would you want the phone to turn on and off?
If you store contacts in your google account(online) you can save loads of details. If they are limited to just a number you likely have them saved to SIM.
android has so many cool features.

Re: Questions about the Samsung Galaxy S5
Ah Okies, guess I'll have to power on and off manually. It's nice how it syncs the contacts from google contacts to the phone automatically

Re: Questions about the Samsung Galaxy S5
That's what I love most. Never loose my contacts when changing phone and also got them to auto sync on my iPad and Macbook Pro.
You can change the keyboard and and most other things.

That's useful for future reference, should I ever need to change SIM cards again

Re: Questions about the Samsung Galaxy S5
Sadly Android isn't capable of turning itself on at a given time like most older phones were. You can turn it off at a set time, but that requires root.

If you only want to turn it off to stop emails beeping or phone calls at silly hours then newer android versions have a blocking mode where you can set some time periods where you get no notifications or ringing during those hours.

I thought "blocking mode" was a Samsung only feature.
Nonetheless you can just put the damn thing on silent. That works on any Android phone.

Re: Questions about the Samsung Galaxy S5
My iPhone goes into do not disturb mode from 9pm - 7am.
Natalie's note is set for the same thing.

Re: Questions about the Samsung Galaxy S5
Not sure if it's not available on later versions but our Android 4.2.2 phones have a feature allowing you to set power on/off times. The wife sets hers to switch off overnight to save battery power.

You may be right, I assumed it was an android feature as I had seen it on a few phones but they may have all been Samsung ones.

Re: Questions about the Samsung Galaxy S5
Most ICS+ Samsung phones have it, and given the vast majority of Android phones are Samsung, I can see why you'd come to that conclusion :P
