[Q] GS5 won't power on randomly? - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a phone call, hung up. Sat my phone down for a few minutes and then picked it up to check my game I play (Jungle Heat, whoop whoop!). Pressed the lock button, nothing. Pressed the home button, nothing. Screen won't come on or anything. I went and plugged it in, the led light won't even come on. I called it, it'll ring (phone I called from) but eventually go to voicemail (S5 won't ring though). There is no water in the phone, I removed the back cover and no dampness.
Any suggestions/ideas?
PS it is rooted, running stock rom. Only root action I've done is deleted some stock apps.

broken fuze. powers on as soon as battery is popped in

So I've had my fuze a little over a year now, no major issues. Used mostly energyroms, but about December time I switched back to a simple non-bloated stock rom for the stability.
Anyway today at work I was texting, and I press the power button to put the phone in standby. And the screen remains on and usable. I tried again and it would not go into standby (power button physically feels normal, it does not feel loose or abnormal.) So i let it sit for a few minutes, then i look at it and a message poped up asking if i wanted to turn the phone off (like as if i was holding the power button)so i press no, then it comes up again a few seconds later and aagain and again. So I soft reset the phone.
The phone resets but takes a LOT longer at the att/htc splashscreen, then it hangs at the htc screen and does not make it to the wimo screen, but instead an error screen saying:
"The device is unable to boot because you have either turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an applicationa from an untrusted source, press SEND to reset your device or press any other button to cancel..."
I think it went through the hard reset this time because when it restarted it asked to calibrate the screen and install stuff. it resets again sometime after that, still takes forever at the splash screen and comes back up to the error, only this time no matter what button i press it wont go away and boot into wimo. It seems like none of my buttons work (they wont light up now) when i slide out the keyboard, it is not lit up like normally.
And heres the kicker, my only way to turn on/off the phone is to take out/put in the battery. As soon as I pop the battery back in the fuze turns on. Is my phone toast? Ive tried to hard reset and the phone does not reach the bootloader, it goes straight to the splash screen. Same with trying to reflash it from my comp, raphealwrapper cannot find my phone.
I've only recently encountered the exact same problem on my Touch Pro, but stock ROM and everything. As far as I can tell, our power buttons are busted and probably need to be serviced. One of the contacts must be stuck in the 'on' position somewhere inside :\ As a temporary fix, I've been using AEButton Plus and remapped double tap end call key to turn the screen off, and removing the stylus to turn it on.

[Q] Can't see anything on display

WARNING: not a native english speaker.
when I try to start the phone the following occur:
the display light turns on, shortly after that the phone emits that startup vibration, the backlight remains on for aprox. 85 seconds then the phone aparently shuts down. that meant, the backlight of the display turns off.
problem history:
I was at work and as usual i was listenin to music via handsfree. while my phone was in poket it seemed that somehow my poket pressed the sleep button and turned the screen up. no prob here. i got the phone out of ma poket. reverted the volume @ maximum and then locked the phone and turned the screen off and putted back in pocket. after some time i wanted to change the song. got out the phone, turned on the screen but nothink apeared except a horizontal line in the middle of the screen. I tried to shut down/up the screen but nothink apeared. after a couple of tries the screen turn on but it was unusual what i saw on it. I saw a sketch of the energy rom home screen with diferent colors.
Meantime i was tryng to get the screen outta sleep the music still played in the phones.
I thaugt that a reset will do but it didn't. got out the battery and got home. reasembled it, powerd up the phone and voila! the phone started up normaly. got out the battery, introduced the sim card. powerer up the phone but bad luck. the happiness was short lived. the problem camed back. another thing i noticed is that when i powwer on the phone i let it on but it wont output that energy rom bootup sound.
Can someone elude me with whats the problem with my phone?
hope I was clear enough!
Have a great day/night!
UPDATE: LEFT IT OVERNIGHT WITHOUT THE BATTERY AND NOW ASSEMBLED BACK. IT'S WORKING BUT I THINK IF I GIVE A RESTART THE problem will come back.

[Q] phone will not turn on, rom is cyanogen mod 10.1.3

as the title said the phone will not turn on. i was using the phone in regular fashion on the gmail app, and i went to go change labels on an email, and as soon as i clicked the appropriate button, the phone shut off. i have since tried to place the phone in download and recovery mode and neither will work, all i get is a black screen, and a very faint vibration as if the phone is trying to boot up.
any ideas?
Try pulling the battery out, wait like 5 seconds, and put it back in.

[Q] System UI crashed, now it won't respond...

Device: HTC One M8 running Liquid Smooth from may 13th.
This is rather odd - All day, my phone was working just fine. As I was listening to some music (through the speaker... or should i say speakers boomsoundhighfive:highfive, I pushed the power button to unlock the phone to text somebody, except all I could see was the music app (apollo) in the background with a dialogue saying that android system UI has stopped. Every time I hit "ok", it popped right back up. I'm assuming that that was because it was trying to restart, and it just kept crashing.
A bit later, it was still doing the same thing when all of a sudden I could no longer turn on the screen. However, my music is still playing, and I can control the volume with the vol buttons. The only other thing I can do is double tap the screen to get a bit of hepatic feedback from double tap to wake. Also, the low battery notification LED is now flashing, as it was at fairly low battery when this started (around 30, it's been about 45 minutes since this started).
I can't reboot through ADB as usb debugging isn't on, and I tried holding down the power button for about a minute with no luck.
Anybody got any advice? My current plan is to wait for it to die and hope it reboot normally... Otherwise I might boot straight into recovery and restore a nandroid...
Alright, sorry for creating this thread - it died, I plugged it in and turned it on. It appears to be completely working. Anybody know why this would happen? It seems a bit odd.

Random power-off

So I had something interesting happen this morning. I was listening to a podcast app through Bluetooth. I wanted to pause, so I flipped open my case, the screen turned on, and when I pressed the home button (oops I meant to just rest my finger on it. Still getting used to that) my phone...turned off.
Despite the title, I would say it didn't power off. It was like pulling the battery. Screen just turned off and I couldn't get it back on. Pressing and holding the power button didn't do anything. I was unable to do anything until I plugged my phone in. Then the battery charging indicator came on the screen. It was at 93%. I unplugged, and then when I held the power button it booted right up.
I have no idea why it did this. I doubt it was an app issue, since I couldn't get the phone to power up. Anyone else had something like this happen? Other than this I've had zero issues with the phone. I've left it at stock, unrooted.
