Silent/Mute mode for the Samsung Galaxy S5 makes a return, after being replaced by an Interruptions setting which muted everything including alarms, with its Android 5.0 Lollipop update.
After hearing numerous complaints, Samsung has brought the mode back with a software update and placed it under the notifications tray as a quick settings toggle which is good because it shows that the Korean company does indeed listen to it’s customers. The update, build build G900FXXU1BOB7 so far has only been released for the G900F variant of the Galaxy S5.
The update is already starting to roll out in the UK, and Malaysia should be getting it very soon.

Samsung is now rolling out its latest Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Galaxy S5 users in Malaysia. This brings the latest usability and performance updates along with its updated TouchWiz UI. The new Lollipop treat was released starting in Poland last month and finally it has arrived in our region.
At time of writing, the update isn’t available through OTA (Over The Air), so you’ll need to download it on a desktop using Samsung Kies 3, which you can download here. After Kies has been installed, just plug in your Galaxy S5 and it should prompt that a new software version is now available (PDA NL3 / CSC: NL3 / Phone: NL1). Take note that you’ll need about 3GB of free space and a full battery charge before you can proceed with the update.

Charging Times Compared: Oppo Find 7 VOOC Charger versus Galaxy S5, Xperia Z2 and Redmi Note

Smart phone these days are getting bigger in size and so is their appetite for power. If you glance at today’s flagship models, most of them are having batteries with an average of 3,000mAh capacities. Just two years ago, these are considered huge like the Motorola RAZR Maxx and the Samsung Galaxy Note II. Obviously with a larger battery, it takes longer to charge your smart phone up to 100%.
To address your waiting time problems, the new Oppo Find 7 comes with a unique charging feature called VOOC. This is their proprietary rapid charging technology which charges up 4X faster than conventional chargers. According to Oppo, it is capable of getting you from 0% to 75% battery life in just 30 minutes, while a quick 5 minutes charge is sufficient enough to supply 2 hours of talk time. To enable VOOC charging, you’ll need to charge the Find 7 with a special VOOC charger that comes with an integrated 7-pin microUSB cable.
On most smart phones, you’ll normally get a “fast charger” that pushes an output of 2.0 Amps. For VOOC, its charger pushes an epic max output of 4.5 Amps. That’s more than double and Oppo reckons that they have implemented its necessary fail safe protection layers to avoid overheating, overloading and long term battery degradation. When plugged in, the charger won’t charge 4.5 Amps throughout as it takes a multi-step approach as the battery level increases. This means it will charges up fairly quickly from 0% and then gradually slows down to 3.5A, followed by 2.0A and eventually to 1.0A as the battery is near to a full charge. To find out if VOOC is any better than other smart phone chargers, we’ve compared it against the Samsung Galaxy S5, Xperia Z2 and the Redmi Note.
Samsung Galaxy S5 to get Android 4.4.3 update this month?

The latest Android 4.4.3 update is now available for the latest range of Moto and Nexus devices. For other Android devices, it usually take months as each manufacturer had to rework based on their customised skin and UI features.
Now an alleged leak suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S5 will be getting the update within this month. The document which lists out a software update test report has listed both SM-G900F and SM-G900H with June as the ETA date for the latest Android 4.4.3 update. For Malaysia, we are having the SM-G900F unit which is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 801 processor.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy S4 4G LTE-A edition (GT-i9506) is listed as well with July as the targeted date. If this is true, we can expect both Galaxy S4 models (GT-i9500 and GT-i9505) in Malaysia to receive the update shortly after that. For now the so called leak has yet to be verified but since Android 4.4.3 is just a minor update, rolling out should be easier compared to major upgrades from (4.3) Jelly Bean to (4.4.2) KitKat

If you’re still contemplating to switch to a brand new Galaxy S5, Samsung Malaysia is giving additional RM200 off when you trade-in your existing phone at participating Samsung authorised dealers. The RM200 discount is given on top of the value of your phone. So this means if you bring a device that’s worth RM500, you get a total of RM700 off your new Galaxy S5 purchase after trade-in. The offer is valid for one device per customer and you are not allowed to bring in multiple device to gain additional discount. The value of your device will be determined by the dealer on the spot.
U Mobile too is also offering an extra RM200 off where the Galaxy S5 can be yours from as low as RM355 with its Standard Chartered credit card promo. They could be riding on the same deal as both U Mobile and Samsung Malaysia are having this trade-in promo until 31st May.

U Mobile now offers Galaxy S5 as low as RM355. Additional RM200 off with phone trade-in offer

U Mobile currently has the best device deal with the Galaxy S5 being offered as low as RM555. What’s more appealing is you don’t need to place a hefty upfront payment if you sign up with auto-billing on their U88 and UPlus plans. Now the deal is even sweeter if you have an old phone lying around as U Mobile is giving additional RM200 off for phone trade-ins. They didn’t mention specific trade-in models and it appears to be open to any device with a valid IMEI number.
The Galaxy S5 is offered on its U58, U88 and UPlus plans at RM1,699, RM1,499 and RM999 respectively with 24 months contract. The RM555 price is eligible for those who sign up together with a new Standard Chartered JustOne Platinum credit card on UPlus Plan. With the RM200 trade-in offer, this will make it effectively RM1,499 on U58, RM1,299 on U88 and RM799 on UPlus. With the Standard Chartered offer, that’s RM355 with the extra trade-in discount. You can check out the full plan details here.
If you plan to get a Galaxy S5 on U Mobile, it is time to dig around for that unused phone to redeem extra RM200 off. Note that the trade-in offer is valid until 31st May. Visit U Mobile’s Galaxy S5 page for more info.
