Give it at least 10-15 minutes before you worry

So, did it finished wiping?

Some time ago I had this problem.
The only way I could fix was installing a CR, I recommend Revolver rom.

Restart your TF.
I did the same once, ONCE. InsanityWolf.JPG.
I accidentally froze the asus keyboard from titanium... Maybe you have done something similar...

Let me repeat. Turn off your TF and turn it back on.

It sounds like software problem to me.
I've an extreme idea which I think you should do. We could try to look for the source of the problem, that would be time consuming and not worth it, IMHO. Here's what you want to do. To do or not to do is entirely up to you. Reflash the stock rom. Do not wipe data or cache. All your apps and data should still be in tact. That should fix any problem with hardware recognition.
Checked theres no detritus in the connector? Could be something, dust or whatever that's causing this issue.

Yeah I blew into the connectors but still nothing. Its only the middle few toggle buttons. How does dock work....isn't the middle the only connector and the other two hold it in?

Android is different than windows. Android is decided up into 12 partitions. The data partition is different than the os.
I had the exact same problem. Here is what i did to fix it:
Code:
Disconnected keyboard (not sure if it was necessary)
Held the power button in (1-2 seconds) to shut it down
Started the tablet up again.
Re-attached the keyboard
Thanked my stars I didn't do anything more drastic
Hope this helps

Yeah thats right, but it seems even something tiny in the middle one can cause random issues. Anyway it might not be the cause of your problem but worth a check.

New bug/problem need review

Hello all,
Iv found a strange behaviour with the reboot of s4 i9500 octa version, while rebooting there is a thin white line on the top of the screen that flashes for a second, it has the width of the entire screen and is quite thin.
Steps to replicate
1.Hold power button
2.Select reboot
3.Then the closing samsung animation shows up
4.Then when the phone shows the model number detail
5. Just between the model number detail and the following samsung logo animation u would see the white line on top for a sec.
The trick is to focus on the top part of the screen from the samsung model details till the samsung logo animation
This is my 3rd s4 after replacement and it still has that line flashing.....need folks to check if this is a wide spread thing
Thanks for looking

Really, why is this a problem for you? You restart your phone often? And even if you do so, why you bothered by what presented on the screen?
This is the reason you replaced the phone 3 times?
Oh please dont take me wrong....thts just something I noticed so wanted to share....
And the last 2 phones had camera issue....full red noise when pictures were taken...
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
@snoopdog2006 I'm agree with you and confirmed 100% that it happens everytime I reboot from OS or Recovery. The white line appears for a sec that is the same as CRT off effect.

I was just wondering if rooting and going custom rom would stop this???
Does anyone have any idea??

Why replace? That thing is most likely software issue.

have you tried force rebooting your phone? long press the power button for about 10-15 seconds. after it powers off and reboots, check to see if that spot is working again.

force reboot your phone again, if you press down volume down, and hold it down as its rebooting, itll boot into the bootloader. you can get into recovery or power off your phone there. there are also free apps that will power off/reboot/reboot recovery/reboot bootloader.
I powered it of and back on. Screen not responsive grr. I can't unlock my phone

phone water damage

so my brother dropped his phone is water, we did the rice trick. about 5 days later we went to see it and it turned on. but it wont get pass the Samsung
Galaxy S4.
so i used odin to try and like restore the original os.
everything worked fine but the same thing happen.
i tried going into recovery mode but it wont load recovery .
now i'm just letting it sit there on the Samsung screen maybe its gonna take a while to start up idk.
So my question is what can i do to fix this. maybe you guys know something that can to make get passed this screen. or at least go into recovery because i think its not loading because i couldn't wipe the data and cache eta..... i think that why it wont boot up.
or maybe the phone is just messed up forever.

By Taking out the battery putting it back in and then holding the volume up button and the power button. It goes to the samsung galaxy s4 screen to say that the right booting recovery but then it just stays there doesn't do anything.

Your suppose to hold volume up and power button and home button at the same time. When the small blue writing appears in the upper left corner let go of the power button only. Then when it enters recovery let the other two go.
Try that method.

Funny how people really believe that the home button needs to be pressed.
Well if you know better help the guy out. We are all here to help each other out not quote stupid comments. If I recall on xda rules if you have nothing good to say then keep it to yourself.

If you dont mind waiting instead of taking it apart place phone in rice for about 24 to 48 hours. Rice sucks moisture out of the phone. If thst dont help then you can consider taking apart.

[Q] black screen of death?

I've had my phone for a month/month and a half now, and today was the second time that I had to pull the battery. the phone would be fine running throughout the day, then when I go to turn it on, it does not respond to the home or power button. the LED continued to blink though. has anybody else had this issue? not sure if this is considered the "black screen of death". I was just going to do a factory reset and hope that it fixes it. no drops or water damage.
What firmware are you on? Do you have an i337.
mf3 and yes.
Do a factory reset, if it doesn't help, swap it for a new one. They'll probably get you a new one if you haven't done anything to it.

did a factory reset, and it still does the same thing.
also, occasionally, the screen does not turn off after 30 seconds.

This happened after I messed up my build.prop permissions. Do you have root or safestrap, and we're you messing with any system files or root apps?

In that case, best option is to take it in. You can try best buy if you have one with a Samsung center and get them to reflash it, or take it to wherever you got it to exchange it.
