While in the middle of reading an email (using the gmail app) and downloading an update to a marketplace app (Go SMS Pro), my phone suddenly froze and a minute later, shut off and hasnt come back on again. I switched batteries, tried different chargers, nothing works. no screen glow, no charging orange light (battery was at about 80% when it died), nothing. the water damage indicator is white.
Plugged it into my PC and it recognized a USB device but could recognize what type etc and asked for drivers.
The phone had original software (2.3.4) and wasnt rooted or anything. Just a month out of the warranty period. Tmo threw their hands up and offered me their off contract pricing for new phones . is it time to start looking for a replacement? Any hope?

that is the weirdest thing ive ever heard. can you get into the bootloader? (vol down + power)
the phone behaves like there is no battery in there. And I've swapped out the battery (wife has same phone), and even my battery works in her phone.

but can you get into the bootloader? its not completely dead since your computer detects something when its plugged in so it could just be a messed up rom that kicked you into a different mode..
if you can still get into the bootloader you should technically be able to reinstall the stock image or even root and flash a recovery tool

Time to get a new phone if it won't even power on with a full battery. I hear the sensation is a good phone.

You can make sure the connectors are clean for the phone, or it may be your power button, I have seen many people talking about dying out power buttons, there is a fix, I think I will have to look it up, it was on these forms.

Read up again, plugging it in and holding down either the home or the trackpad button for 20 seconds could work. Also found this post below.
jjbadd385:
If your power button is broken, you can seperate the black rubber from the chrome bezel, right at the power button, you will see a silver dot with a silver ring around it,,which is the flex ribbon, and very, very small. Anyway, take a piece of aluminum foil and twist it up, now touch the silver dot and ring simultaneously, for like 1 or 2 seconds, and it will come on, if your flex ribbon is not broken. I have an extra. Mt4g with a broken power button, and I power it on this way a few times a day...takes about 10 seconds.

Here is a good thread if it is your power button.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592623
Sorry if none of this works :/
I've seen this happen already with a different phone, I went as far as sending it out to be repaired and the service department said the processor shorted out and needed to either buy new or a refurbished one. It will still show on a computer because there is power to it but due to the processor going bad it won't do anything from that point. I would go with the mt4g slide it has great reviews and a solid forum here.

same thing happened to my phone all I did was i took the battery out and left it for about a day and came bak put the battery back on pressed the power button and it worked
Hey everyone,
Problem:
Last night I was using my phone and it was on around 50% battery. I put it in my pocket and a few minutes later when i checked it, it appeared to be dead. It would not turn on when i tried to hold in the power button. I rooted my phone over a year ago and haven't updated it in a long time. It seems to have bricked out of the blue and it wont turn on.
Attempt to troubleshoot:
I tried removing the battery and putting it back in. When i do this the Samsung logo briefly appears with the normal unlocked screen. After about 2-3 seconds I notice a tiny glitch across the screen and then it goes black and there is nothing. I put my friends battery from his S4 in my phone and the same exact thing happens.
I also called AT&T and my warranty expired for this phone a few weeks ago. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks,
-Alex
Does it do the same thing if you try to boot it into Odin mode? Meaning power plus the volume button.

Yeah I tried doing that as well. It only works for about a second. When I remove and reinsert the battery I have about a three second window before I get the black screen again. I removed the battery and right when I put it in I held the volume up, home, and then power keys. I see the screen start to change a split second before it goes back to black.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or what my options are? I am just over the one year warranty so i can not return the phone. I would like to troubleshoot it if possible, but I'm not quite sure where to start since I can't turn the phone on. I am leaving for vacation tomorrow night and I really need to have a phone. I have been trying to troubleshoot it since yesterday and I have had no luck.
Did you plug it in to AC and see if it runs--try that without battery also--

I assume by AC you mean an alternating current (standard) outlet? I plugged it into the wall charger with and without the battery and it did not turn on.

Okay. Is there anywhere I can do to diagnose the hardware or I could take my phone to get it fixed and diagnosed? This is my first time having a phone stop working so I am not sure what to do since my warranty just expired last month.
One last thought before I suggest giving up. Is it possible the phone IS turning on (and staying on) but the screen is just not remaining on? Troubleshoot by turning on the phone until you briefly see the screen, then give it time to finish booting (if it really is on), then plug into PC to see if it is recognized by the computer? If so, then it's a screen issue.
Or, could it be the power button is wonky and is turning off the unit right after turn on?
I'm perplexed....

If there is a CPR (Cell Phone Repair) near you, that would be my recommendation.

Neither my desktop nor my laptop can detect the phone. The only time the phone turns on is when i take out the battery and put it back in. It comes on for like 2-3 seconds with the samsung logo and then shuts off. I did that while it was connected to my computer and the computer didn't recognize it.
How could I determine if the issue is the power button before taking it to a CPR?

Not sure about access to button with back off or how to take apart. But, you could try to depress button and try to spray some electronic cleaner in it with the nozzle tube provided. Radio Shack has it if Best Buy doesn't. I doubt if that will work though. But, the spray comes in handy for me on occasion.

I took off the cover, and then removed the screws to take off the back of the phone. I held the power button from the inside of the phone and it still did not turn on. I used my friends battery that was at 80% charge to test it so it isn't the battery. I found this tutorial online for removing the power button which could solve the problem (assuming it is the power button) but i'm not sure if it is the power switch. Also the tutorial is for the S3 and not the S4. Not sure if I should attempt this or if there is anything else I should try.
I'd wait a bit and see if anyone that has actually replaced one chimes in. You could in meantime try the spray. Make sure it is electronics spray so it won't damage or gum up anything--like you said it may not even be the buttton--
good luck
At this point my thought is the button isn't the issue. The button itself seems to be working based on your description.
I'd say Cell Phone Repair or a similar place is your best shot. Good luck. Let us know how it works out!
At about 12:00 AM on 11/9/15 when I was about to sleep I saw a message on my Yureka phone that the battery was low (15% left) and asking to turn on battery saver mode. I did not do it as I was to get up at 6:00AM and an alarm was also set at that time. I woke up at 6:30AM saw there were few SMS. I put the phone on charge. I do not remember what amount of charge was left. After an hour I checked the phone. There was a blue light indicating the the charging was on. When I pressed the power button the phone did not respond (display was dark, it did not light up). I removed the phone from charging and reconnected. Now the blue light did not turn on. There was not light. Then I opened the phone case removed battery and reconnected it and tried to switch on the phone. It did not turn on!! When I tried by connecting the charger, the phone did not turn on. After few more trials of combinations I called the customer care. They asked me to do lot of things which did not help. They say they have escalated the complaint and they will call back in 24 to 48 hrs... Today 12/9/15 when I tried to connect the charger I got a red light. I left it for long time thinking the phone will get charged.
When I checked the internet for the problem I find that only bricked phones indicate with red light when charger/PC is connected!! I have not done anything which the forum says so that the phone gets bricked.
Have anyone faced similar problem and how do I come out of it?
How to take data out of such phones??

Yu Yureka Not Switching On
I have the same problem. I pressed the power button to off, exactly when the phone was about to die.
Immediately connected the phone for charging. Only the red light comes on. But phone doesn't switch on.
Tried removing battery. Keeping phone for charging overnight. Still no use.
Has anyone resolved this issue before? If Yes, then how did you do it?
Kindly help.

Any help appreciated. I have a 32 GB Silver 6P that was purchased new on Swappa and was running flawlessly. It was updated to Nougat via beta program when Nougat was officially released. It is on the Google Fi network and was running fine up until 10/31. I left it on the charger that came with it and on 10/31 am, it will no longer turn on. I don't know the IMEI nor SN, it's not on the box. I have tried all the things to get it to turn on (Holding PB for 15 sec, Holding PB and Vol Dwn button), nothing works. HELP!!!
This happened to me 3 months ago
I left the phone on charger for about 12 hours straight untouched
Then when i came back from work i pressed the home button for about 5 minutes or even more then it worked again ( by the way after all that charge time, when it opened again battery level was just 35 % )
Now try the power button for 5 minutes straight if no response you may try what i did
Good luck

How long did you leave the phone plugged into a wall outlet? Some people reported they plugged the phone in for 24 hours or more before their phone came back to life. I think the notification light being on while the phone is plugged in is a sign that your phone is back from the dead.

Purchased the device brand new from Best Buy on March 11, 2016 . Running 7.1.1 since it's release and worked fine last night, left it plugged in all night and confirmed it was charging. Use stock OEM charger. Wake up this morning and it won't respond to any button-press variations (Power, Power + Vol Down, Power + Vol Up & Vol Down, etc).
I don't see any indication that powers on at all (No boot logo, Android with exclamation mark, etc)
Mac and Windows do not recognize device is plugged in. (Using included USB Type-a cable)

My Samsung Galaxy S5 has recently stopped working as in refusing to turn on with a fully charged battery. This all happened when my charging port broke on my S5 and I didn't want to repair it from a technician as it costs a lot and I'm not really a DIY person. So what I did was exposed the red and black wires in a Micro USB cable and hooked it up to the two pins at the side of the battery (I knew that this had a chance to ruin my phone). This worked perfectly fine until one day i hooked it up, it was playing static through the speaker and a green light popped up in the LED (this is where I think the problem occurred). After this occurrence I decided to leave it and buy an External Battery Charger and a 2nd Battery just in case. When I put in the battery ,hoping it would work, it did not work and when I held down the power but it keeps making a VERY faint ticking noise and sometime a faint beep too.
I have already tried removing SD card, putting pressure on near the power button, booting it into recovery mode and taking out the battery and putting it back in after holding power button.
If there are any solutions please tell me. If there are no solutions then please tell me that too.
Thanks,

My Samsung Galaxy S5 has recently stopped working as in refusing to turn on with a fully charged battery. This all happened when my charging port broke on my S5 and I didn't want to repair it from a technician as it costs a lot and I'm not really a DIY person. So what I did was exposed the red and black wires in a Micro USB cable and hooked it up to the two pins at the side of the battery (I knew that this had a chance to ruin my phone). This worked perfectly fine until one day i hooked it up, it was playing static through the speaker and a green light popped up in the LED (this is where I think the problem occurred). After this occurrence I decided to leave it and buy an External Battery Charger and a 2nd Battery just in case. When I put in the battery ,hoping it would work, it did not work and when I held down the power but it keeps making a VERY faint ticking noise and sometime a faint beep too.
I have already tried removing SD card, putting pressure on near the power button, booting it into recovery mode and taking out the battery and putting it back in after holding power button.
If there are any solutions please tell me. If there are no solutions then please tell me that too.
Thanks,
Kashif.

How did you boot to recovery if it won't turn on?
Or is your problem that system will not boot?

The problem is that the system will not boot. When I said "I have tried", it means I tried these solutions and none of them work.

Ok, I assumed as much, just making sure because it is dangerous to run on assumptions.
The fact that recovery boots is a good sign I think.
For the record, and to help us help you, please state
Exact S5 model # (eg G900T/A/F/P, etc)
Baseband version # if you know it
ROM version (eg Stock, Lineage 14.1, AOSP 6.4, etc)
Recovery version
Just to be clear, you state that the charging port is broken, will it just not charge, or is usb function disabled as well, meaning is it detected from computer in recovery/download mode?
Have you checked the physical port itself for bent pins/foreign matter, etc? I have personally had this happen on more than one phone, causing all manner of strange behaviour.
Please bear with my seemingly foolish questions, I'm just trying to establish fact from assumption
