GS5 Features Removed
It it true that AT&T has removed several of the GS5's built in features like Download booster, Kids mode? How about the new security features like Find My Mobile and reactivation lock and whatever else? Are those gone as well?

Hello, everyone!
We are evaluating Samsung’s Download Booster Feature. We thoroughly test new software, features and functionality to ensure that it meets our standards for a quality user experience.

I was reading up on this. It sounds cool, using wifi and cellular data to improve downloading.
According to an Shawn De Cesari who wrote this, he says it may be coming on future updates.
Based on that, I suspect, it's not yet well optimized for AT&T's network

Yes, they disabled it. Its beyond frustrating. They must think us concumers would not notice. Download booster is a great feature, one that I most definately could benefit from.
AT&T obviously worried that some one would exceed their data usage on WIFI with this feature. That and they do not want people on the network. That's why they are always telling people to use WIFI whenever.
So sick of this company.

Thanks, I've been reading some of the reviews over on Android Central and it looks like Download booster was revomed by almost all carriers. Sad to see that, but even sadder to see that AT&T continues to remove security features like they did with knox.
I did see that kids mode supposedly can be download from Samsung Apps.
