Samsung Galaxy A50 does not turn on after factory reset. Only from recovery. (Power and Volume up and select reboot). Do you have anyone similar problem please?
Factory Reset I repeated 2x. I did Wipe. I have also done the Software reset. I still can't turn on the Power button...
EDIT: When I connect charging, the POWER button works. However, the battery is charged at 100%.
EDIT2: The Samsung phone can only be switched on by double pressing the power button. First press: Picture of the round charge. Press the POWER button a second time after the picture goes blank. Now the phone goes on. Do you have it, too?
That's weird. I've never heard of that happening. I think you may have recieved a faulty unit.

So I have a galaxy s iii, att version, where I accidentally put it into safe mode, but in a dramatic turn of events, I seemed to have broken the volume down key... Idk if the volume down is broken, or stuck down, but now, every time I turn on the phone it boots into safety mode regardless of what I do. So far, I have tried:
Resetting the phone.
Holding Volume-up as I reset the phone.
Holding every capacitive key on the device except for the power button as I reset the phone.
I have also hit the Volume-down button like 30 times before resetting it.
I took out the battery to reset the phone.
I reset the phone with the battery out and plugged into a charger.
PLEASE help me find a solution. Im begging. Begging.
Typically, safe mode is achieved by holding one of the capacitive buttons add the phone boots up. Try rebooting without touching any buttons. And if the volume rocker is broken, look into a warranty exchange
I have the same issue on the galaxy nexus. Power button press turns the screen off a second then it's back on again. Random issue, recovery mode factory reset doesn't fix the problem.
My tablet Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (SM-T805) screen went black. I can’t see the screen.
Touch also does not seem to work. However it’s on. it is receiving calls and other messages. It is connected to WiFi.
Power button, volume button are working but I can’t power off the device cause I can’t see the screen options.
When I plug in to the charging cable it vibrates but does not show anything on screen.
It didn’t drop and hit by anything…i have been using it for 3 months now. it just happened by itself or may be by some update that I don’t know.
Please help how to bring it back to life
Are you able to get into download or recovery? I've never heard of something like this before. Maybe go ahead and let it die and then plug it back in and see if you can get into download mode by holding home+power+volume down then re flash your stock firmware or whatever you were using. Or do home+power+volume up to get into recovery. If you still have stock recovery then you can just do a factory reset right from that but if your using something TWRP then your still going to need to flash something after wiping your data.
Not sure how else you can get it to shut off since you can't see it. Even knowing where the power menu is once you press the button it would still be tough to hit the right thing. I'd say let it die. Maybe someone else can come shed some light. Of course it could be a hardware problem as well. I'm leaning toward software still though.
If your still completely stock I'd say let it die and get into stock recovery. Home+power+volume up and then wipe data and do a factory reset. Now if the screen stays black after its off and you've plugged in the charging cable then I'd imagine there's a more a serious problem going on.
Yes I am waiting for battery to be completely drained out. I will try your method once the battery is completely dead.
thanks
Your welcome let me know how it goes. Will do my best to help.
I don't have my tab with me right now but can't you hold power button for 10 sec to force a reboot? All Android device I ever had could do that.

Doest work on t805 holding powerbutton, just hold the buttons for download mode and that will force it to reset and prompt you to press volume down to cancel volume up to continue...hold for 30 seconds, and if nothing appears let go and just press volume up once, still no joy then pop back cover off and unclip and reclip battery if your brave, thats what i did before i new about this quicker way.
How to run the battery completely down..? its still active and on... though not showing anything on screen.
Is there any quicker way... ?
To do a hard-reset on these Samsung devices, you need to hold Power + Home + Volume Down until it reboots. On every other device it's just Power. Some it's Power+Home. For some reason Samsung likes to be different.
Or if you have previously enabled USB Debugging, you can plug it in to your computer and do an ADB Reboot.
Power + volume down + volume up works for me as reset.

Hi guys
Got my sw3 today and set it all up and then now it's randomly turned the screen lock on and I can't unlock it!!
Question .... Can I somehow do a factory reset without unlocking it?
Or is there a default screen unlock combo that may work.
Please help!

Turn it off by holding the power button for a few seconds.
then when it's off, hold the power button again until the insert USB image shows.
Then on that, press the power button twice and it'll take you to another menu.
Then on the menu you'll have 4 options. I think it's the last one that says factory reset. When you get to it press the power button twice again.
Hope that helps.
I was starting to download some digital magazines I'd checked out from the library using the Zinio app. When I started, the screen flashed for a second and then the screen went black and the animated Samsung logo popped up like the tablet was powering down, or like you see when powering up. The only problem is that it's been that way for about a half hour now. It's not doing anything that I can see. I've tried to power down and it won't shut off. I've closed the magnetic cover, and it won't go to sleep. I've tried the volume up/power button reset, and that does nothing. I guess it's just going to stay like this until the battery dies completely. Has anyone ever seen behavior like this? Any ideas?
Thanks for any advice or opinions.

Try holding Power+Vol Down+Home at the same time. It should reset to the bootloader screen. Then you can press Vol down to reset the tablet.
Thank you for the suggestion. I'm back in business!
It did not reset to the bootloader. It just went dark and reset completely. No options or anything that I could see. Or maybe that's what you meant by the bootloader screen. Anyway, I didn't have to press any other buttons after holding down the Power+Vol Down+Home buttons for about ten seconds. It completely shutdown/rebooted and, once it came back up, everything seems to be fine.
Thanks again for the suggestion.
