S4 power down after update

After the update for my galaxy S4 last week, my phone will power down on its own.  It has happened at least 10 times in the last 3 days.  Anyone know what the problem is or have any clues how to fix it before I go into the verizon store.

    Ho Doc_Walk22!
Let's figure our what's up with your phone! I'd like to ask some questions in order to troubleshoot. Do you notice if this is happening when performing a specific task or when in a specific application? Please uninstall any task killer applications you may have on the device. And, please try safe mode and monitor the device to see if an application is causing this. Here are the steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/77504/
Also, please remove the SIM card and the battery for about 60 seconds, reattach, and power back on. Let me know how this works out for you, thanks!

  • My ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to computer which doesn't recognize it. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died.  I tried to stop the upload and am afraid it 'crashed'

    My first genteration ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to the authorized computer which won't recognize it - does not acknowledge a device is plugged in. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died.  I tried to stop the upload midway and am afraid it 'crashed'

    Try putting it into recovery mode.
    Connect iPad to your computer via USB while it's turned on.
    Open iTunes
    Hold the iPad's Sleep/Wake switch (power button on the top of the iPad) down until the "power off" slider appears.
    Power off the iPad completely (wait for the progress spinner to disappear).
    Hold the Sleep/Wake switch AND the Home button down for a full 10 seconds.
    After 10 seconds (the second time you'll see the Apple logo on the screen) release the Sleep/Wake switch while still holding the Home button.
    Continue to hold the Home button for another 10 seconds until the USB connection image appears on the iPad's screen, then release the Home button.
    A pop-up message will appear on iTunes saying it has detected an iPad in recovery mode, you must restore...
    Click on the "Restore" button and the process will begin.

  • My hp envy want quit saying " do not power down during update" powered down 3 times and still saying

    My hp envy want quit saying " Do not power down during update" powered down 3 already still saying the same thing.

    so my printer worked for a month and then it asked me if i wanted to install updates. It's been installing updates for three weeks and says not to turn off. I've turned it off several times and unplugged it a few times.  No other buttons work on the screen because i can't get to them.  Obviously it's a software problem but i can't find any updates to fix it.  The guy on the help line said it's a hardware problem and that they'd offer me a $95 discount on a newer model, but it would still cost me over $150 and it would be a refurb. So they have a bunch of these printers that sat in a store that didn't sell and passing off printers not in a new box and then talk to me like i should be so thankful they gave me this wonderful discount for a "new" printer that nobody else wanted when i'm still stuck with a printer i paid full price for and should've been able to get replaced. Now i've really paid over $270 for a printer i'm not even sure i want that might have another bug they can't fix.  It's just wrong.  Anybody know a fix for this so i can cancel the order for a new printer i'm not sure i want?
    thanks,

    Hey laurelletoo,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    From what I gather, there’s an issue turning your iPhone 5 on after updating it. Take a look at the article below and try running through the suggestions that it provides.

  • MacBook Pro (10.7.3) not shutting down after updating to latest iTunes

    This is a bit of a strange one, and after searching high and low, I haven't seen any other references to it, so...here goes:
    I'm working on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) running OS X 10.7.3, and the complaint is this: the system will not shut down or eject a connected iPod (classic) or smartphone (Verizon Android phone) after updating to the latest version of iTunes.
    I've been troubleshooting this for several days now, and I've tried the following:
    1. Created a new admin account and tested from there. No change.
    2. Created a backup image of the hard drive, erased & reinstalled 10.7, created temp admin account - issue resolved, but iTunes library unable to open because it was modified by a newer version of iTunes.
    3. Ran software update to bring system current (as of 20 April 2012)
    4. Issue reappears after software update.
    5. Reinstalled 10.7.3 from Recovery partition.
    6. Again, issue resolved, but unable to open iTunes library modified by newer version.
    7. Update iTunes, issue returns.
    I actually did several variations of the erase & install routine, as well as several admin accounts, but the basic gyst of it is that after updating iTunes, the system hangs at the spinning gear on shutdown every single time.
    The version of iTunes that is reinstalled with Lion is 10.5.1. I don't know which version between that and 10.6.1 is causing the problem.
    Not sure where to go from here, so I figured I'd throw it out to the community.
    Thanks.

    Well, after throwing my hands up in the air, I returned the MacBook Pro and iPod classic to their owner because I'd held onto them for over a week trying to troubleshoot the issue with no success.
    Two days later, she contacted me and told me her iPod was the culprit -- it had some bad sectors on the hard drive. I had thought to check that, but she had data on the iPod that wasn't backed up anywhere, so I back-burnered that until later.
    Glad to see I'm not going insane, though. ;^)

  • IPhone will not power on after update

    Dear Apple,
    I currently have your iPhone 3GS which I received approximately 18 months ago. However, after updating the OS Software the device has decided to not power on. After speaking to your Apple Support Centre, they booked me an appointment at Apple Bentall Centre, Kingston, London, UK.
    My device was looked at by a representative named Vanessa Baldwin who claimed that the device would not power on and that seeing as it is out of warranty, the only option I had was to replace it costing £139. I then asked to speak to the Store Manager Leigh Baigent, who reiterated Vanessa Baldwin's suggestion. He also added that the device would not power on due to a fault on the motherboard and had nothing to do with the battery. I proceeded to explain to your staff that I would expect a £400 iPhone to last longer than 18 months and that under The Sale of Goods Act 1979, a retailer is responsible for the items they sell for up to six years in England and Wales regardless of warranty. Your staff expressed a blank look towards me as if I spoke a foreign language and dismissed my claims.
    I am therefore making formal contact with Apple directly to sort the matter.
    Any help would be appreciated, please do not give me a story about warranty / insurance guidelines
    I look forward to your response.

    I would probably advise you to e-mail, or make contact by phone, rather than making a complaint on the Support communities page.
    I hope your lucky in succesfully getting a new iPhone however

  • Mac Mini 2011 slow down after updating to Yosemite

    Hi all!
    After updating my Mac Mini (half 2011) from Mavericks to Yosemite, it became extremely slow and unresponsive. I have to wait a lot of time for apps to open and commands, like clicking a button, to be executed executed. File Vault, that I read is a common cause of slow down, is NOT enabled.
    What should I do? In these cases, for my Windows PC, I insert the OS DVD and format: what's the equivalent operation for a Mac?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

  • KT400 333FSB Socket A MB, cannot power down after shut down

    I had originally built a system with this motherboard and an AMD Athalon XP 1800 processor (don't remember exactly what it was called 1800 or 2000, the 1.6 GHz speed processor). System runs fine, no problems, except that i don't know how to get it to power off after i've done a shut down in XP Pro. I get the screen saying it's safe to turn off the machine and I keep having to press the power button to turn it off. All my other hardware in the system is realtively average (about 1-1.5 year old technology). I know there's either some kind of jumper to set on the board, or some setting in the bios, or some setting in windows to do this, I just haven't been able to find it. Help me please if you will....it would make my life easier.

    Thanks. I will look at these items closer when i get home tomorrow and see what can be done. since it is ruled that the bios controls this feature, i will look at that first. if the bios needs to be changed and the OS re-installed, I will do it and see if that fixes the issue. I doubt it is the soundcard, i am running a SB Audigy and using winXP Pro.

  • My mbp won't power up after update.

    after running an app store update, (Xcode) my mbp won't power up and the battery lights are showing flat even though it was on charge over night.
    the update was taking a long time, and it had a message saying something like deleting old files.
    i went to bed and left it over night.
    when i went back this mornng it had powered down, and the drained the battery even though it was plugged in.
    now i can not power up, and i have tried the smc reset.
    please help.
    many thanks.

    This is the standard Apple support article for your situation.  If you cannot try another adapter to try, I suspect a trip to an Apple store genius bar is in your future.

  • Macbook Pro doesn't shut down after update

    After downloading the update for Safari 5.1.2, I restarted my computer to finish the installation but it stayed stuck on a grey screen with the software update bar on top. Now I can't shut down my computer. Everytime I shut it down I'm brought back to the same grey screen and nothing other than the power button will shut my macbook down.
    I'm running Lion on a Macbook pro 2.4 GHz

    How long are you waiting? I've waited as long as 3-minutes in Leopard already. I was about ready to force shutdown, but then all of a sudden, it shut down.
    If yo don't reboot that often, you may have a bunch of virtual memory swap files it's unloading. Try shutting down right after a reboot and see what happens.

  • Imac shuts down after update

    My iMac has begun shutting down (twice in the past day and a half) after downloading the newest update, (I didn't get OS Lion) just the new updates. I have i5 intel mac and it is less than a year old. I am just curious if anyone else is having similar issues. Also it is important to include that when I turned my cpu back on I had to unplug it from the wall first, the power button was unresponsive.

    I have 2 of the same iMacs in addition to 2 macbook pros with quad cores that are very new.  The latest update rearranged my bookmarks on one machine to a previous set and, more importantly, disabled a program I use to disable keylogging.  On another machine, some website settings were dropped in addition to the keylogging program.  The macbook pros, which are brand spanking new, also had some minor glitches.  I know these guys have a lot on their plate right now since they have obviously released Lion before they fully debugged, but those of us who had sense to wait a few months for them to get things straight should not be punished by the release of a buggy update of the migration tools.  Apple is such a strong company and culture that I would have expected them not to rush to unleash this Windows-like buggy set of updates and releases.
    MAKE IT RIGHT, APPLE.

  • MacBook shuts down after update on startup

    Today my MacBook has been acting up again. This time, I shut it Down and restarted it, then it started applying the update for a while. Then, after it's done, it shus down. When I power it up again, it updates again. Then the same cycle repeats and repeats. Could someone please help me?

    I am having identical issues as you described - although I haven't installed secrets preference pane (so I doubt that's involved).
    My problem went on for hours one night, I got sick of dealing with it and went to sleep with AC adapter unplugged and macbook off. The next day, it worked fine all day long. Now here I am in the evening - had a power cut, AC adapter went off obviously, and MacBook powered off. Again now I have this problem.
    I tried everything you've talked about (PRAM reset) as well as SMC reset, no change. My battery stats look great, says battery is healthy. This started happening to me a few days ago, I upgraded to 10.6 a few weeks ago.. not sure what caused this to start happening.
    I found one VERY interesting thing, maybe you can check this: when I have the problem, with AC adapter unhooked, when I try to power up my MacBook it comes up for 2-5 seconds (sometimes until the apple tone, sometimes not), and turns off. If I HOLD THE POWER BUTTON for 5+ seconds the MacBook remains on, the white light on the front flashes, and I get a long tone. This procedure is supposed to be used for firmware updates or something. Anyway, when I do this, the computer comes up perfectly and it uses the battery. When I hook an AC adapter up, that works, but as soon as I unplug it I am back to the same problem. You should try this and see if it works for you, it may be a clue. If nothing else, it's a good way to still use your laptop if you are on the go and can't be dead in the water
    My wife has a MacBook slightly newer than mine, I'm going to try her battery when possible to see if that solves the problem. I hesitate to go to the genius bar as they are terrible where I live and it's always been a waste of time
    (Also, the battery update fails for me as well).

  • Airport won't power up after updates 5.5.2 and 7.5.2

    I updated this afternoon via Software Update: Airport Utility (to v. 5.5.2) and Airport Extreme firmware (to v. 7.5.2). Everything seemed fine, noticed no problems and later I shut down my main computer for the day.
    When my wife came home later, she couldn't get an Airport connection on her MacBook Pro. In the process of troubleshooting, I went back to the Base Station and found it was off (no light at all). It simply won't power up at all. Unplugged it, replugged it, etc.
    Seems like too much of a coincidence that my unit would have just flat-out died after these updates.
    Anybody know what's up?

    Thanks Bob, I'm afraid you're right. I didn't know that a firmware update could fry hardware like this! It's just too much of a coincidence to be a... well, coincidence. (Especially now that I see all the other people having problems today after this update.)
    I've also reported the issue to Apple via the link you posted in another thread: http://www.apple.com/feedback/airportextreme.html
