The Mute or Silent mode was missed by users when they updated to the latest version of Google's mobile platform, Android 5.0 Lollipop, Samsung added it to the Galaxy Note Edge with the Android 5.0.1 Lollipop update and placed it under the notifications tray as a quick settings toggle. The company has once again saved the day, this time for the Galaxy S5, as a new software update brings back the Silent mode.
So far the update, build G900FXXU1BOB7, has only been released for the G900F variant of the Galaxy S5 in the UK but it shouldn't take long for this update to hit other unlocked units across Europe in the very near future. G900F is the Snapdragon powered international variant of the Galaxy S5 and those who purchased it SIM-free in the UK can now check for an update in the Settings app, the underlying software will remain at Android 5.0 after the update is installed.
