I had some connection problem with my in car Bluetooth audio system, which caused the device to hang.
I had to take the battery out and in, for the device to restart.
Since then, I press the power button, getting the Galaxy logo, then the glowing S with the sound. and again the Galaxy S logo for a while, after a minute or two, the screen goes off and that's it. All buttons are inactive.
How can i make it work again?
Thanks,
Amir.
go into download mode
wiki instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/GT-I9000
then select wipe cache, and wipe data
Thanks for the answer.
I already decided to hard reset the device, and reinstall everything.
I'll keep in mind your advise, in case of a need in the future.
thanks!
Amir.

I was using my Roger's G1 and all of a sudden, the phone reset.
The phone now boots, shows the Rogers logo, then the HTC logo/animation, and then the screen goes black, and the HTC logo/animation appears again, and again and again.
I let it go for a few minutes... same thing.
Only way to break the cycle is either take the battery out to stop, or "Send" + "menu" + "end" key to reboot into the same cycle.
I would like to not hard reset the phone... Any suffestions?
you have to wipe, you don't have a choice
if its the rogers version of the hardware you have to wipe.. even if you wait for a signed system image, it probably wont fix it since the problem is most time in the data partition. try booting in safe mode and uninstalling some apps (or back up your data and wipe) if you havent tried allready... (hold down menu button when the phone powers on, until you see the home screen.
The Rogers version doesn't play nice with all apps for 1.5. In my case it was the wake me up app that caused this problem. I did a wipe to correct.
I ended up doing a full reset, since I couldn;t get into safe mode to backup anything.
What do you recommend as a backup tool (without having root access)?
A few weeks after updaing my play with marshmallow, last night suddenly these issues starteed after reboot.
1. NO NOTIFICATIONS
2. Not able to pull down notification bar, thus no quick settings
3. Phone is not getting locked even after using the power button to lock
did a cache wipe. Dont wanna lose the data so didnt try the factory reset.
P.S. i was uploading a few pics on googel drive and i got a memory full message. i think after that all the issues starting popping up.
Any suggestions ?

Is the touch working in that area otherwise? Try turning the phone into landscape and in a game or something and touch there and see if the phone is responding.
Have you made modifications to your phone? If not then a factory reset would be my way to go.
Factory reset seems to be the only way and that too through recovery.
i am also facing same issue
try TWRP (if you have it) Clear Dalvik-Cache, Cache and Try to back up all the internal memory data then boot and wait the optimization apps. i hope it helps you . srry my bad english
TWRP (Recovery)
Same issue, my solution:
Go to settings>users> select guest
After "guest" login, notification bar and USB connection will start to work again, then return to "owner". Now, you can make your backup. "Reset phone" remains grey and isn't possible reset system, use power button and vol- to enter fastboot to make a factory reset. Only after that the phone will work fine again!
Good luck!
Update: *SOLVED*
I got a strange message that popped up on my phone this morning. It stated "It's gonna rain. Take a umbrella with you". It stayed on top everything else and wouldn't go away. I thought that it could possibly be one of my weather apps and got stuck, so I rebooted. After that point, it gets to the Google loading screen animation and never passes. After subsequent reboots, it does the same thing. I am able to get into TWRP recovery though.
Does anyone know what be causing this and/or how to remedy it? Might it be some type of malware? I have attached a screenshot of it.

Thanks for the link! I do have GO Weather installed, and I have no issue with getting rid of it. Although, I'm unsure how to do that since I can't boot. Any recommendations?

well, since you can boot in twrp you can do a factory reset.
safe mode is a better idea but i dont think you can boot into safe mode without starting the phone.
here are the steps but i dont think it will work so try to delete dalvik and cache from recovery, if that didnt work I think factory reset is the only option unless someone has a better idea
Make sure your device's screen is on, then press & hold the Power button.
In the box that opens, touch & hold Power off.
You’ll see a “Reboot to safe mode” box. Touch OK.
Your device will start up in safe mode. Try using your device normally. Remember, you won’t be able to use any installed apps

I tried clearing the cache and dalvik earlier, along with deleting the GO Weather app files, but that didn't help. I thought about safe mode, but I don't see a way to do it without already being booted to Android.
What if I dirty flash the same stock 6.0 ROM I'm using? I'd like to keep files and apps intact, so I'd prefer to not perform a factory reset, but will if I exhaust other options.
I just realized that I never came back here to update on what happened. I wound up booting into TWRP recovery, connecting to my PC via USB, backing up any data that I needed, then factory reset. That took care of it. Luckily, that also cleared up some other minor, but annoying, issues I was having. Needless to say, I haven't been and won't be using GO Weather EX any longer.
so guys,
my S5 screen just went black from one moment to the other, the touch lights still go on but that's it. i still can take screenshots and get messages so it's still functional.
first time for me here since my coworker hinted me of this site. so not used to working with tech etc.
thank you!!
Does it work when you first power on the phone or enter download mode (Volume Down & Home & Power) from a powered off state ?
If not, sounds like a hardware issue
If it does, try booting into recovery (Vol up & Home & Power) and clear caches, then reboot, if that doesn't work, factory reset and try
If it still fails, flash a stock ROM from sammobile .com with ODIN
unfortunately it does not, can i get it fixed in another way?
You can use this

To see your screen on a PC, but not easy to know what's wrong over the net, if it just suddenly happened, and you get no image at any point of the boot process, then something hardware has failed
Unlikely to be a lose connection if it just suddenly happened without any drop or knock
Hello everyone!
Need help while my wife is not in the topic yet (
There is a Michael Kors Sofie MKT5021 watch, made a reset, reconnected to the phone.
They started to blunt, cleaned the cache of programs (by deleting data and cache), disabled Google Fit.
I did a reboot and they now load only up to the desktop screen and start blinking, there are no any widgets, I can't go into the menu for reset settings,
I can only boot into safe mode, but it's the same, there is no menu, nothing.
How else can they be reset to factory ones with only one main button?
Thanks/
