I have a Galaxy S5 running on lollipop 5.0.
At home I am only able to access internet on the wifi if I first turn on airplane mode then wifi. This however doesn't allow me to receive texts or phone calls.
All other devices have no problems accessing internet just the S5
I have tried everything I could think of,
Hard reset of phone
reset of router/modem
Battery pull
safe mode
forget wifi connection and reconnect.
I'm at my wits end. Any suggestions are welcome!

I'm sorry to hear about the WiFi issues you're experiencing with your Galaxy S5. Let's see what we can do to help correct this. Just to clarify, you mentioned that you did a Hard Reset of the phone. When you did this reset, did everything on your device get erased?

I did a hard reset about a week after the update because all other avenues had failed. Yes all data was erased. It did not solve the issue. Also my battery drains amazingly fast even when not in use.

I'm so sorry you're having issues with your S5. Let's see what we can do to fix this. Samsung has released a software patch for the S5 to correct these issues. Is this something that your device has received? Just go to apps/settings/system updates. You can try and pull it manually from the device.
I hope this helps!

The last update I received was G900VVRU1BOC4
Is this the update from samsung? It didn't fix anything. I find it very strange that my wifi works perfectly good if I am in airplane mode which leads me to believe it is a problem with the data/4G transmissions.
