Galaxy S5 Software Update to Correct Issues With Camera App and More

A new Galaxy S5 software update will be rolled out in the very near future.

It weighs in at 41MB and can be accessed over-the-air. It will correct issues with the camera as some users have reported problems with the app as it doesn't load when a voice call is active. There is also alarm failure when deleting alarms, duplication of emails when moving from one folder to another and two bugs that plague Google Search and the S View Cover.

The update will roll out for the Sprint variant and not the international version.

The Galaxy S5 replaces the S4 as Samsung's current flagship device and features what the company deems a "glam" design with a perforated back plate that shines in different lighting conditions. It will have full LTE coverage, Wi-Fi MIMO 802.11 to cut down buffering, and a download booster that will allow users to download 1GB worth of media in 30 seconds.

Samsung has also drastically improved the battery that now provides users with 10 hours of web surfing, 12 hours of video playback and offers a new Ultra Power Saving mode. This new mode can grant the user another 24 hours' worth of power if their phone is at 10 percent. It does this by only keeping necessary functions on and turning the screen to black and white.

Samsung also decided to install a fingerprint swipe feature that users can utilize for authorizing payments. It can unlock a special private mode which secures all important documents, settings and files.

The Galaxy S5 camera comes with a 0.3 second autofocus which is the fastest on the market, according to Samsung. It features select focus, which allows the photographer to decide what in their image will be in and out of focus, and its new HDR mode controls light exposure the moment they focus on something.
