Galaxy S4 - Random Shut Downs - I9505 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was browsing xda on tapatalk while I was watching tv and suddenly the device turned off and wouldnt turn on. I removed the battery put it back in still wouldn't boot so I decided to plug it in on the charger as soon as I did it vibrate and then when I pressed the power on button it worked and booted up works fine so far. Any ideas ?

Battery might have exhausted

You really press power for 20 minutes lol?
Next time just unplug the charger and wait a bit then plug back in. Do it several time and it will work.
and I do not know what cause the problem. It might be battery issue. or you usually left the battery die and Nexus 7 turn itself off? If you did that, that might be a bit of the problem!
Hope this help~
you don't need to turn it off to charge, you can just turn on flight mode...i leave our in flight mode overnight but charging and it barely uses any battery

Interesting you mention this. Last night I went to fire up mine and nothing....nada. Hadn't used it all day so I knew battery was charged. Waited a bit then pressed both power and volume (+ & -) at the same time and it booted. All was well.
Read where this has happened to a few other but not very often. Thought I might be looking at an RMA. 4.2 JB Stock ROM/rooted only. Keeping a wary eye on this development.

[Q] Won't switch on....

So, my phone ran out for battery and died. Plugged it in over an hour ago, but the phone will not switch on. Anything I can do?

Are you running any custom kernels/Roms?

Nope!
Something similar happened a couple of days ago. Held the power button for around 10 seconds and a red notification light came on. I think it was flashing as well. About 10 or so minutes later the screen came on. This time the phone is just dead...
Have you tried any button combos like- power + volume up + volume down.
Also did the phone run out of battery normally or was there any battery drain?
This doesn't look good for n4.
Hold power and vol +/- to enter recovery mode and then restart.
But before make sure ur charger or outlet works.

None of the combos work. It's as if it's not charging...
Weird. Plugged it into my laptop to check if that worked. Nothing. Plugged it back to the mains and a red notification light started flashing. After about a minute the screen came on with the battery animation. I managed to switch the phone on now. The wallpaper was reset to the stock one, but everything else seems to be fine.

Charging Issues [Screen Flicker]

Basically I've been having charging issues for a while. Have to let it sit for a while before I turn it on and charging is extremely slow.
I accidentally let the battery drain, and plugged my nexus back in, and now I'm just getting screen flickering every few seconds?
What I've tried so far:
1. There's nothing I can do in terms of getting into the bootloader or anything similar ..the screen is unresponsive in my attempts to hold the power down + volume
2. I've opened my device, removed the battery, and plugged everything back in. Still nothing
Any suggestions?
Update:
I left the tablet in the charger for about 3 hours, came back, and the screen was still flickering at the same pace. Still unable to turn the device on.
Disable.. I think it's nvidia prism, it's broken.

Galaxy S4 wont turn off

every time i plug the charger while the phone is off the phone turns back on
usually it just displayed a battery icon, but recently it boots fully everytime so its impossible to charge while off
also if i turn it off while its charging its boots right back to the homescreen as well

Phone won't start anymore!

Hi,
was watching Youtube on my phone (GT-I9505 with GPE ROM by yesterday. Suddenly the screen froze up, while the audio was still playing. Nothing helped so I pulled out the battery and restarted. After that everything was ok. However this morning my phone was dead. So I force restarted again, however it won't start. The Galaxy Logo comes up for a split second and then the screen goes black again. I can't even boot into Recovery Mode. I can only get to Download Mode. Has anyone an idea what to do???
Charge the battery probably a good idea.
When did you install the rom?

Oh man, it was indeed the battery. Even though I plugged it in last night it apparently didn't charge. However, since the phone didn't die right away when in Download Mode I didn't make the connection of it being the battery. Feeling like a total noob, lol. Thanks everybody.
