Galaxy S5 G900FXXU1BOB7 5.0 Lollipop Update, Silent mode is back

By
A new Lollipop software update version G900FXXU1BOB7 is hitting on Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F once again.  The G900FXXU1BOB7 is still in Android 5.0 Lollipop base  next to the previous G900FXXU1BOA3 . The latter has just rolled out in United Kingdom at this moment  but the firmware build itself also indicates  a 'multi CSC' that also points to other countries in Europe.  So chances are that the rest of Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F users might also get this update soon. Since we already seen the Android 5.0 in action so there is nothing to expect any major changes about this update. But some significant adverse effect I noticed about the G900FXXU1BOB7 is that the "Silent mode" feature has returned back.  On previous updates we knew that  the "Silent mode" was removed but now you can see it again in status bar.  I also noticed that the screen brightness seem also...

In addition, the update itself brings the promising HD Voice capabilities on your Galaxy S5.
