I've had this phone for about a year now, and it suddenly froze while I was watching a video on youtube, nothing was responding, home button, volume rocker, power button, nothing. I thought nothing much of it, so I took out the battery and attempted to restart the phone, but it's just stuck at the bootup screen. It doesn't even allow me to enter Recovery mode.
Any help?

I was listening to Pandora, and all of a sudden I got no service in the middle of a street, well looked at the screen, and in the left lower corner it displayed
"Safe mode"
Screen will not respond, couldn't unlock it, I held the power button for a few seconds and it went blank and back again to safe mode.
I had to hold the power button for 20-30 seconds and then he phone rebooted and back to normal it went.
Has anyone experienced that before?
Stock firmware and rooted, no lag fixes at the moment.
So I was using the phone while taking a bath in a very humid environment, listening to music. At some point music stopped and the phone turned off. After that the phone now boots in fastboot (blue screen). The power button is not responding and I can only turn it off by removing the battery. If I press the home button while booting, I can get into recovery, although I get weird behaviour (as if the ok button is pressed at random moments). If i manage to reboot from the menu it goes back to fastboot blue screen.
I had cyanogenmod 7.2 loaded and working. I also tried rice dessication, but still nothing.
Help.
Hi guys. So this is my situation; my phone is currently turned off.
If I hold the power button, the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo appears in with the black background, then disappears and the phone turns off after 1~2 seconds.
If I hold the power, volume down button then I get the custom OS screen. If I then choose to restart from this screen, the phone restarts and the Galaxy Logo shows for around 6-8 seconds then disappears again.
If I go to the custom OS screen again, then press restart, I can then hold the volume up button and the lock button and the blue message saying 'Recovery Booting..' along with the same black Galaxy logo then the screen disappears after 1-2 seconds seemingly turning off, then it vibrates once after a couple more seconds then does nothing again
I can not get the recovery booting screen from simply holding Volume up and the power button, I need to do it after restarting through the custom OS screen.
My phone is also suddenly not recognising the charger being plugged in. There is no observed difference between attempts to turn it on with/without the charger plugged in.
The last time the phone was properly turned on, it switched itself off at around 4-6% battery left and from then on I have this result.
So, can you guys help?
Your power button is probably faulty. Try to wiggle it lose or replace it.
hey!
I own a Samsung Galaxy S4. Since today I cant boot the phone up anymore!!!
while watching youtube videos it sudddenly was dead, I didn`t even drop it. turning on again with the power button doesnt work, advanced boot with power button + other button doesnt work as well. only if I reinsert the battery the phone vibrates and it turns on for about 2-3 seconds, the samsun bootloader logo appears and its dead again. I have already replaced the battery with a working one, doesnt work. I removed the sd and simcard but that did not help.
Sounds a lot like a power button problem.
The exact problem is that the button is stuck or shorted, which causes the circuit to be constantly closed. In other words, it's always "pressed".
Hello. A couple of months ago my power button fell off and I didn't change it because I'm an idiot. So the phone was working well for about a year but now its stuck in this boot loop. It turns on until I see the Xiaomi logo, vibrates and then it turns off. I can enter the recovery mode or whatever its called when I press the volume button but once i go in it restarts itself after like 1-2 seconds.
Can I somehow turn off the "power off" button or at least can I somehow create recovery image from my phone so I can recover my photos, my notes, my apps, my contact numbers?
I gave my phone to a specialist to take a look at it and he said the motherboard is broken.
