I don't know about Verizon but I agree with the latter. I prefer finding a solution for my problem instead of selling the S5 because of this. I simply couldn't find a phone suiting all my needs except the S5 on the paper. The Note series too big for me, as well as the G3 and G4. I don't buy the Iphone because I love Android being open source. If someone could find me a phone that has removable battery, expandable storage, below or equal 5.1" size and running cool I would love to look at it. Don't recommend the S5 please lol.I hate Verizon so much but the phone itself is amazing

Guys I have a question. Since we can't solve the problem obviously, what will happen if I send the phone to a Samsung Service Center and let them try to repair? The phone has still a year warranty left but the Knox counter is tripped due to rooting. I can't revert it back to not-tripped status. Will they still repair the phone even if they find out the Knox counter is tripped? For a price of course...
I see... This is awful. I need a guarantee. I mean what the hell? The phone is faulty because of their stupid update. Will they at least give me a chance to say no before start to fix it? There is a chance that they won't notice the counter is tripped but it is a shallow one so I would need to assume they will fix it for a price.I imagine they would fix it for a price. They would definitely charge you because it has been rooted. They also would not give any guarantees. It might be more cost effective to buy another phone.

Although it hurts I think you are right. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I still don't know what to do but at least I'm certain I will be better off without Samsung (now and in future as well).They always look to see if it had been rooted first. They will try to find whatever disqualifier they can. They will also argue that it wasn't the update that ruined the phone but that it updated on a rooted phone that caused the problem. Chances are the update would have been successful if it wasn't rooted and that is what they would argue.

Thanks for your suggestions but sadly I already did those things you mentioned.From the screenshots you've provided, I don't see anything too terribly wrong with your device. You're still getting a full day of use, and your screen on time is great. That said, there are a number of issues I see that can be corrected to help your situation. There are a few things from your screenshots that I can't understand because they are in a different language, but from what I CAN see, you're over taxing your device with a ton of apps that consume a lot of processing power. WhatsApp, CNN, Facebook, Facebook messenger, Google Maps, and various games just to name a few. Couple that with various widgets and your device is going to get much warmer than normal with all of this going on. That said, I don't see anything that needs to be "fixed" by Samsung. My advice to you would be start from scratch & do a factory reset. After which you'll want to only download apps you use on a regular basis. And again, don't run your battery down so low. Plug it in throughout the day, or at least once it hits 15-20 percent. From time to time you'll want to open up your recents (left capacitive key) and hit "close all" after you've run a number of these power hungry apps.
As for the slippery issue...
nothing on your device, whether it was an update or being rooted is going to physically cause your device to be "slippery". Most phones these days are slippery when a case isn't being used. Personally I think that a combination of sweaty hands and no case, (or a smooth case) would cause this. My advice would be try a different case to see if that helps, perhaps something more rubberized. I've had an Incipio Dualpro case on my S5 for almost 21/2 years. It's was nice and easy to grip in the beginning, but over time it's become very worn down and can get slippery if I'm not holding onto it tightly.
Good luck!

I understand but please try to read all of it when you have time.....Sorry I can't read half of that, but if that photo was recently taken like you said, you're still putting a huge strain on your battery by letting it drop to 6%. Regardless of the update or not, a "slippery" phone would imply moisture was present, which could only come from your hand, not the phone itself. When exactly did you do the FDR? After doing the FDR, you'll need to leave it completely stock for a couple of days without any third party apps installed. This way we can determine if your device is being overloaded and/or your apps are to blame. How many widgets do you use on your device? Also, go into system settings, network mode, and tell us what mode you're on.
One of your screenshots shows an H+ (which it's HSPA if I'm not mistaken) which would be a T-Mobile signal....if you're on Verizon, this is a concern. I can't help but wonder if during all your flashing, and flashing files that weren't compatible with your device, that you still may have an incorrect kernel installed. I would still suggest an FDR after which you should run the device with no third party apps for a couple days.
