Powers off and restarts

My month old Samsung S4 randomly turns itself off and restarts several times during the day.  I can be on a call, text message or surfing the internet.  No water damage or any other type of physical damage to the phone.  What do I do???

There are a few things to try.
1.  Remove the sd card. Operate the phone for awhile and If the problem goes away the card is defective.
2,  If that doesn't work power up in safe mode to see if the problem goes away.
3.  If that doesn't work try a different battery.
4,  If the problem persists, then do a factory reset,  This will wipe all your data and give you a phone in the condition that you first got it.
5.  There is no other menu settings other than item 4, to fix this so I would think it would be a hardware problem if none of the above resolves it.  The phone will have to be returned for repair.

  • When I tried to update to os6 on my iPad2, it says "Your iPad was updated successfully, but when I hit "continue" the bar turns blue, but nothing happens. I powered off and restarted, but nothing changed.

    When I tried to update to OS6 on my iPad 2, it got as far as "Your iPad was updated successfully. There are just a few more steps to follow, and then you're done!" The Continue bar at the bottom turns blue momentarily, then back to white. Nothing happens. I powered off and back on, still nothing. When I use the "Home" button, it says "Setup incomplete" but won't continue. Any thoughts?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • My iphone powered off and will not turn back on.  It is fully charged.

    I have a new iphone 4S and it powered off and will not turn back on and its fully charged.  Help.

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart, usually about 10 seconds time. If still problem, connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

  • Time capsule is frequently crashing and has to be powered off and back on

    I have had my Time Capsule for several months with no problems. Last few weeks it is crashing several times per day and has to be powered off and back on. When this happens there is no light of any color. The reset button does not work and I have to unplug it and then plug it back in. I have the latest updates. A couple of times it wouldn't restart after I plugged it back in for 10-15 minutes. Any thoughts?

    At minimum power down your entire network starting with modem first. Then wait a few and power back on start with modem first.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It looks like your NVIDIA graphic is damaged. If you need your computer now, you can fix the computer downloading gfxCardStatus and selecting the option to use only the integrated graphic, so that kernel panic won't appear anymore. Note that you won't be able to use the NVIDIA graphic, so the graphic performance may be worse than with this graphic.
    Of course, that's a temporary fix, because you should take the computer to an Apple Store as soon as possible to get the Mac repaired. As the NVIDIA graphic is not soldered, the repair won't be expensive

  • Help! I was downloading apps and my 4th generation froze, so I turned it off and restarted it twice. And it is just on the screen with the apple i dont know what to do. Please help!

    I was downloading apps that i deleted and my 4th generation froze. So i turned it off and restarted it and nothing happened. It is just showing me the apple screen after you restart it. I dont know what to do please help!

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

  • Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps.  As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone.  Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem.  Specifically, the icons don't wiggle anymore.

    Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps.  As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone.  Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem.  Specifically, when I double-click the start button, my open app icons display.  But when I hold my finger on an icon, the apps do not wiggle and display an "x" to close.  Any advice... thanks?!

    Double tap the Home button, then swop upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the Home button again when done to return to normal screen.

  • TS3274 My Ipad display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode. Is this a hardware problem?

    Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.

  • My forwart text feature on IOS 8 keeps disappearing and the only way I know how to make it re-appear is by powering off and on my phone, is there another way to fix this feature?

    my forward text message feature on IOS8 keeps disappearing and the only way I know to make it re-appear is by powering off and on my phone. Is there any other way to fix this?

    I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
    What's the secret?

  • When i try to wake my macbook after sleep the keypad lights up but the screen stays black. I have to switch off and restart. How do I fix this?

    After my Macbook goes into sleep mode it sometimes won't wake. The keypad lights up but the screen stays black. This problem has only occured after updating to OSX 10.7.2.
    All I can do is switch off and restart. Then any programs I have not 'quit' all open.

    OK, I have a fix. 
    After spending about an hour online with Apple Care without success, I did a reinstall of the Lion OS. It fixed the problem.  I was concerned that I would lose data or settings, but the reinstall was seemless and everything was the way it was before the reinstall except that the "black screen on wake" problem was fixed.
    I started the reinstall before I went to bed and it was waiting for me the next morning.
    Here is a link to the page on how to do the reinstall:

  • My iphone 4s turns off and restarts after a few seconds or minutes to establish a FaceTime call. I've tried "Restore iPhone" but the same thing keeps happening. Any solution?

    My iphone 4s turns off and restarts itself a few seconds or minutes after when I establish a FaceTime call. I've tried "Restore iPhone" from iTunes but the same thing keeps happening. Any solution?

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Also, if this only happens with one Wi-Fi network, power cycle that Wi-Fi router.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order.

    my new ipod classic 160 gb powered off and won't turn back on. if i plug in to computer, itunes will not open. if i start itunes first then plug in ipod, itunes freezes up. Looking for help. thanks. Was not connected to the computer when ipod died.

    I have not heard of a good reason for this to happen or how to fix. 3 days later my screen lights up and says to connect to charger.... so its back "for now". Best music player on the market when it works.
