Why does Safari have to constantly reload tabs if it's so "optimised"? Clearly this is a ram limitation.
Google is just as good in backing photos to the cloud.

Your not alone.
I felt the same way, when I demoed the s5 back at the launch event in Barcelona.
The Galaxy s5 is such an epic failure that Samsung is going to start from scratch when designing the s6. Something tells me it's going to look a lot like the iPhone 6/6
.No, I have that off, and I wasn't looking at the screen anyway. A reboot fixed the problem -- for now. But the idea it may occur again is troublesome. I was periodically dogged by this exact problem back with LG Lucid. Not only is it annoying, but as you can imagine, it ain't great for the battery either.
I've had Chrome on my Nexus 5 reload background tabs, too, when brought to the front. Yes, Safari does it more. But Chrome on iOS is better in this regard, making me think Apple is limiting the tabs on Safari on purpose.
I don't recall ever seeing this on my Moto X but get it in chrome and Safari on my iPad mini
Root cause is DRAM starvation that's why iPad Air 2 finally includes 2GB DRAM. Besides the front end that looks different with Chrome it uses the same Javascript engine as Safari so there's no difference.
Just can't lick this movement yet! I stab it, swipe at, spit at it, whatever, and every now and then the pop-up does open from the lock screen and take me into messaging.

Just to say you do not need to use Google to backup your photos, I use one drive and it has the option to back your photos up instead.
If your into your sports I would check for a durable phone, I'm not sure how durable the S5 is? The iPhone 6 survives drop tests alright from what I've seen, or you could just get a new battery for your current iPhone. Other option is the Sony Xperia Z3 as its waterproof and duatproof and has a good camera.

I have no idea what this means.
But I reiterate, coming from an iphone 4 with nothing at all, "ok google" is amazing! I can bark instructions at it and it provides responses instantly and accurately. What a huge time saver it is.
There's lots of android phones, so choose wisely.
I opted for the S5 which replaced my 5S. I got an iPhone 6 but ultimately returned it and stuck with my S5.
I'd debating an iPhone 6+ but there's no real urgency since I'm content with my S5
Just depends on what you are looking for at this point. For me, iOS 8 features are not supported well enough to make it worth it at this time. Maybe in another few months.

But didn't you have horrible experiences with the S4? So why would you throw your lot in with S5?
I always found Siri to be superior to Google Now for the functions you would want on a phone, it's been a while since I've used siri though. I fluctuate between Google now and Svoice and kind of hate them both and miss Sri, probably one of the only things I miss about iOS. I'm hoping that MS releases Cortana for Android as rumored.
Why not? With 14 days to figure it out, it's no big deal to "throw your lot in", and have a charge of heart if necessary.
That was certainly the case with the iPhone 6.
On my Note 4 and Nexus 6 you don't have to touch the phone at all. "Ok Google" is always listening.........
Sorry to hear. My 4s battery and in fact even my old 3G and 3Gs are still kicking just fine. HOwever, the upside to a number of Android phones is you do have the ability to replace the battery yourself.
I have a Note 3 but am not Samsung Biased. I think the Nexus and Sony line up of options are great too. Can't comment on the Macbook part as I don't own an Apple PC.
Nice phone and should serve you well.
You'll love the native integration of Google and Android on the S5 or other Android Phones.
You have plenty of integrated Notes and reminder apps out there. Do you use Microsoft Outlook? I tend to keep my to-do list / tasks that aren't associated with a date or time separate. Not sure what your workflow is like but I can elaborate more on what works for me if you're interested.
Androids have a number of great cloud integrations for phones. You can easily select to share or keep some private.
You don't have to use Google+ but it does work great. Can't comment on tying into iPhoto as again, I don't use it.
Nope, again, there are options. I use Airdroid at the office, so it's running in the background and I tend to reply to all my text messages via that when I'm at my desktop.
The one thing you'll love with Android is the ability to do just about anything on your terms. You can set up the intelligence and behavior of the phone your way and that to me is priceless.

What are some of the Siri things you miss? Also, would love to see Cortana come to Android. Mainly because I think she's got the sexier voice
Nice....so while an IOS device is charging....you can say "Hey Siri" and it will respond? You don't have to touch the device? I wonder who they copied that from?
