Greetings,
My S7 Edge just went dead... I wanted to reboot it via TWRP and from there on only thing I get is the blue light flashing. Thats it. No response to any of the buttons I press. I tried keeping holding every button combination for about 20 seconds but nothing seems to work. And with the remaining 40% Battery for only a blue light it might take weeks until its off because of no power.
Any other clues here?
--- NEVERMIND --- After 15 Minutes of doing nothing with the phone it suddenly restarted! Please DELETE THREAD! Thanks anyway! ---
Thanks!

Thread close on Op's request.

Has anybody experienced this?
when you power off the phone, it turns on after a few seconds.
its a a cm7.2 rc3 problem or something deeper like hardware?
id like to know a fix and if im not the only one experiencing this! thanks
I too get this from time to time. I think it may not happen with the latest Rom I am on (invasion2 futureal 1.2). As a workaround I usually do shutdown with a carefully timed battery pull. Not ideal.

I had that problem from time to time and solved it (for now) by cleaning the phone, especially around the power key. I think it gets stuck down just enough to make contact and power the phone on.
It gets fixed when you power it back down the second time, since you are pressing the button again.
Cleaning worked for me, I used rubbing alcohol and a q-tip.
Good Luck!
EDIT: With phone powered off and no battery.

Moving to Q&A
I ordered Moto G from Flipkart to deliver it to my home while I was traveling. Yesterday I returned and was excited to unbox Moto G. But after I unboxed the device I noticed that the device is not switching on, even after several attempts too. I asked Flipkart to replace the device.
Then I thought if I am the only one who is facing the same problem? I start searching Google and found the solution. Sharing this here if someone else is facing the same problem, this thread can be helpful. So documenting this here.
Solution: Put your device on charging with wall mount charger and press the power button for about 3 minutes and it woke up again, with 0% charge, and started charging, working fine now.
Motorola is saying...
This is our recommendation as well.
Plug it into the charger
Hold the VOL DOWN key
While still holding the VOL DOWN key, press and hold the POWER key
Hold both keys down for over 120 seconds. This is more than two minutes and will seem like a long time. You might want to time yourself to make sure you hold it longer than two minutes.
After holding the keys down for more than two minutes, release them.
The Flash Boot screen will display, and the Normal Reboot option will be highlighted
Press the VOL UP key and the device will start a normal reboot.
You can refer the below video too which is similar too this.

Got to ask Flipkart now to remove my return request..
Hey guys,
This is my first time posting, although I am constantly on the forums looking for help and ROMS. Its been about 4 months since the last ROM I downloaded for my phone. Its actually been 4 months since I did anything to my phone. I found a ROM that worked and kept with it. I have a sprint galaxy s4. fyi.
But yesterday while I was in the middle of texting on my phone it randomly shut off. When I tried to turn it back on nothing happened. Then I pulled the battery out and it rebooted showing the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen for about 3 seconds and then shut off again. I tried another working battery and still nothing. So then I pulled the battery out and try to get into the bootloader (holding down the volume up button). It said it was going into the recovery but then shut off about 3 seconds in. So then I tried holding down the volume down, home, and power button which allowed me to go to the OEM(I don't know if that's the correct term but it was a warning about tampering with the software) So I pressed volume up to continue and it immediately shut off again.
I cant get passed anything for about 5 seconds in without it shutting off. It's extremely frustrating and annoying that I literally cannot do anything with it.
Any sort of help or input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance!

Make sure you have a well charged battery. Once this happened to me the phone was running hot and the little charge it had was wasted trying to get it to download mode. also having it connected to a computer/power outlet sometimes messes with the boot up. The timing of when you press the buttons also affects the loading. as soon as you see hte Galaxy S4 logo let go of the buttons. Hope this helps/.

I tried 2 different batteries, I also tried having it plugged into the computer, charger, anything. I've also tried different timing on the buttons appreciate the response though. I'm going to keep trying the timing of it.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Sounds to me like it can be a defective power button which Samsung is notorious of making on their devices.

Samsung phones are under a 1 year warranty with Samsung correct?

Hey BIGSAMDA1ST....thank you so much I looked at it more closely and it seems like the button half of the button is jammed up in there.
Hopefully that's what was causing the problems. ?
Same probleme here (also since yesterday)
Could you solve the problem? I had the same problem yesterday. Galaxy S4 with CM 11. Suddendly the phone rebooted and it just came to life for about 3-4 seconds after taking the battery out and in again. After a few tries it booted coorectly again. But today the same thing happened and now it's dead for about 3 hours. Now I am going to buy an external charger and try to load the battery to 100 %. I also disassembled the phoine and checked the powerbutton for functionality.
Yeah that was not the problem. lol I'm sending it to an outside company due to the face that its not under any warranty. I'm saying its bricked lol
Hi guys,
this is my first time posting here and is my last resort in trying to fix this issue.
Recently i noticed my phone no longer turned off it's screen when i press the power button.
The button itself is not broken, as long pressing it brings up the power menu just fine, and i have tried using apps to turn off the screen, but they open, the screen flashes black, then phone just returns to the home screen, as if nothing happened.
here's what i've tried to fix the issue:
checking wakelocks to see if any app was preventing sleep ( there were none i could see)
reinstalling/removing recent software to see if that was the cause
(hard) factory resetting
after these attempts, i am none the wiser, and the screen will still not turn off, so i come to you guys for help.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
