My galaxy s5 keeps turning on and off by itself....???

Has anyone else had this done to them??  Any help would be GREAT!! 

Have you powered down and pulled the battery for up to 10 minutes?
Any recent changes, new apps, updates to apps?
Running Kit Kat or Lollipop? If Lollipop how recent was the update to Lollipop?
Any known damage, drops, water, etc?
Try booting in safe mode to see if it is app or hardware:
With the device powered off, press and hold the Power button (located on the right edge) until the Samsung Galaxy S5 logo appears then release.
With the Samsung Galaxy S5 logo on the screen, press and hold the Volume Down button (located on the left edge).
Continue to hold the Volume Down button until Safe mode appears in the lower left of the screen then release.
This may take up to 45 seconds.
OR
With the device powered on, press and hold the Power button (located on the right edge) until the Phone options prompt appears then release.
Select and hold Power off until the Reboot to Safe Mode prompt appears then release.
Tap Restart.
The restart process may take up to 45 seconds to complete.
Upon restart, Safe mode appears in the lower-left of the unlock/home screen.

  • My Galaxy 4 keeps turning on and off by itself and the battery gets pretty warm

    I have a Galaxy S4 and it keeps turning on and off by itself.  As well the battery usage is pretty quick and the battery keeps getting pretty warm.  Any thoughts.

    Thanks to all of you for your input. Fortunately, for me, the phone was still under warranty so there's no expense to me.  However, during the course of my conversation with the Tier 2 tech, it was mentioned that a recent update MAY have been the problem.  But after doing a refresh, the problem continued with the phone turning on and off all by itself.  That was the whole problem.  But, the battery life went down dramatically within a few hours after it had been charged all night.  I was told that this was due to the phone cycling and off.  As well, even the safe mode didn't solve the problem that would allow me to use the phone without being able to use the apps.  I had pulled the battery to let it set for a while but with no success.  I also pulled the SIM card before they refreshed the update but, still no go.  Anyhow, the end result was that the Tech that I was talking to then transferred me to another Tech -- I guess someone a little higher up -- and I was then informed that they were going to send me another phone.  I don't recall that anyone placed the blame on Samsung or Verizon.  So, there ya go.  Thanks again.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPad keeps turning on and off by itself

    Hi! My iPad just keeps turning on and off by itself. I tried turning it off "ON MY OWN" and turning it back on but it keeps returning to the issue. Is there anyone that can help with my issue? I have the "iPad Mini" . There are some times where it will just stop and next thing you know, I go to a app and it returns to the issue :( . ( BY THE WAY, I did update the iPad to the  final  update , but it still continues to turn on and off by itself WITHOUT me even touching it. What should I do????

    Restore the iPad completely (this is a fresh install of the iOS not just an update).
    1) Backup your iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    2) Restore the iOS via iTunes. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

  • My LG enV 3 keeps turning on and off by itself!

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening? It's been fully charged, I took out the battery and put it back in, and still nothing...it just keeps shutting off and then on every minute or so...do I need a new battery or is it something requiring repair? 

    Take the battery out and gently clean the contacts with a Q-Tip or can of compressed air. Then, fold a small piece of paper a couple times and stick it between the battery and the phone itself.
    This is a known issue with the EnV3 and the ONLY way we've figured out how to fix it is the above suggestion. The batteries were made slightly off so they get dirty very easily and the paper helps them fit more snug. This will only fix the problem for a few months or so, but just keep doing it and it will help a great deal.

  • New 5th generation headphones keep turning on and off my music. Which wire do I cut to disconnect the control system for the right earbud

    The wires are probably loose in the rubber and the control panel on the right ear bud keep turning on and off my music, summoning s voice, and turning up and down my music. It's really obnoxious and I would like to know which wire to cut to disconnect the control panel. Thanks.

    I had exactly the same issue when connecting my new BLACK 60mb Video iPod to connect to my PC via USB 2.0.
    The iPod kept Crashing & Freezing also iTunes become unstable and very slow, it kept saying "unable to write to disk" every 5 minutes and I had to disconnect & re-connect for the same message to show again in 5 mins later, it eventually told me not to disconnect the iPod. However, after 30 mins i just did it.
    I then opened iPod updater and re-attached my ipod with USB 1.
    This seemed to take an age to recognise (5 mins +) but bear with it. Once it was connected I reinstated to factory settings, once I did this it automatically told me to update my software to 1.1.1.
    When I then opened iTunes it again took 5 mins to connect, but it then started to transfer my music, which took over 6 hours to do 22MB.
    Having said that I have had no "can not write messages"
    Today I have conencted (again taking 5 mins to connect) but it has transfered over 1000 photos in under 4 mins and updated all tunes.
    hope this helps,
