Randomly the screen just turned off...I know the phone is still functioning because I can hear my texts coming in...and I tried the screenshot and can hear the screenshot sound...
Not sure what happen.... I tried a hard reset with volume down and power...but doesn't fix.
Volume down and power is to reboot to recovery but if the screen is not responding that probably won't work either. When my screen wouldn't turn on i held the power button plus Volume up which boots into Odin which then it asks you do u want to enter Odin. Volume up I believe cancels and reboots the system normally.

So I had the blinking orange light, and vibrating 3 times when I turn the phone off. From what I've read this is because of a broken volume up button, and the phone thinks its being pressed and tries to boot into something it shouldn't.
The other day I booted into recovery (I was going to use the trackpad) but I accidentally hit the volume up button. To my surprise, it worked. So I booted into the bootloader, it works there too.
Does anyone know what might fix this? I originally thought the button was broke, but if CWM and the bootloader can work with it, it must not be, right?
Oh and I did the keytest in CWM and when I press volume up it tells me I'm hitting the volume up key.
Thanks!

I activated art on my S5 and it restarted. When it was restarting it was saying optimizing apps. After that the phone turned off and now it doesnt even turn on. If i press the power button the phone will vibrate but doesn't turn on. I even tried a hard reset by holding the power button, up volume, and home button but nothing is working. Any body have any suggestions on how i can get it working again, at this point i dont even care about the data and apps on my phone I just want it working. Any help is appreciated.

Are you able to boot into the Download Mode? (Power + Home + Volume Down)
If so, try to reflash the stock firmware.
I was using my phone (43% battery) listening to music using the castbox podcast app when suddenly the music stopped and my phone completely froze, nothing worked not even stand by, i held down the power button to restart it but it just turned off and would not turn on again, i then left it and after around 10 minutes i see it has turned on, to a white google logo with a grey background (never seen that before) i hold down the power button again to try and restart it but it then just turned off again and wouldnt do anything regardless of what buttons i pressed (power/ power + volume up/down) i have plugged it in, still nothing, and nothing when pressing buttons while plugged in.
any one got any idea what could be wrong or how i could fix this?

Welcome new XDA member.... first post? Many threads on this topic. Have you held the power button down by itself for several minutes? Were you having ANY battery issues leading up to this? Can you boot to Recovery? Are you running TWRP?
Hello guys! I have been having this problem for a week now
When the phone is one home, recent, back buttons do not work at all
Power button can only put the screen to sleep but not wake it and i can switch on the phone just fine
I tried using an app to wake it through proximity sensor it only vibrates to show the app is working but can not wake the screen
Volume buttons only work when media is played otherwise not responding
as i said i can boot to recovery or download mode with home , power and volume buttons just fine and when in recovery (TWRP) everything works fine.. I can use all home and back buttons
Also when phone is off and connected to charger.. I can check the battery percent by pressing home button just fine
I can use volume buttons to go or cancel download mode just fine
The code *#0#* shows power and volume test success but not home,recent and back
The problems happen when the phone is booted up
Some apps like back button works and they are what i'm using to go home back and recent
What i tried
Hard reset
Flashed new stock rom with odin though seemed like it was just updating had to wipe os first with twrp
Flashed multiple custom roms
Flashed other j7's backup os to my phone
They all didn't work and i know it is not hardware because they work just fine when phone is off , on recovery and on download mode
Please, please help me.. It has been a week now and it hurts me i have to reboot my phone every time i receive calls because screen can't wake up and also keep it awake all the time to avoid removing the battery to reboot

Got Same Problem On my Samsung J730G , Any Fix ?
I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary - just watching some YouTube videos and attempted to turn on my Bluetooth to connect my bluetooth speaker, all of a sudden the phone froze and then it went to a blackscreen and the blue LED was stuck on, now the LED has changed to white yet the condition is the same - blackscreen and doesn't respond to any button presses. Is there any way to force restart this phone via computer? It's my only phone right now and it's detrimental that I get it working as soon as possible.
Note: I have no custom firmware or ROMs, I use the default of what's with the phone.
Thanks in advance,
Tyrone.
Try every button press combination for 1-2 minutes (Only the power button, Vol-Down and power button or all at the same time). To see if you can get it to hard reset or go into fastboot.
Apart from that, there shouldn't be much else to do, apart from waiting until the battery drains out or something.
