You tried holding the power button down for more than 2 seconds?
I don't think that will help. The watch arrives set in quickboot mode and it can crash in that mode and not restart right. Might be the problem here, or his display backlight might have failed. Or his power button might have failed.
Anyway, try a battery pull. A full restart after a real shutdown via battery pull will probably recover the watch to where you can go in and disable quickboot.
Instructions are in other threads.

Yeh I tried holding down every button etc for looong time... Today it's actually it's started working again clever tactics I tried....
Stop playing it with it for a day (Vital part this!)
Plug it into computer for 15mins
Hold power down.... it came on Woop

One thing that people need to be aware of--after doing a Cache and Dalvik wipe in TWRP Recovery--the phone can 'seem' like it's stuck in Boot mode--BUT, it's just taking it's time to re-align all the apps, software etc... and I mean at least 10 minutes of looking at a stationary Boot screen--it worried me first time.
Well, mines gone too. It was fully charged. I was listening to music, turned off the app, put watch on standby and when I went to check the time the thing won't turn back on. Tried connecting it to the charger but no response. I'm going to open it up and see if that works. I know I'll loose my warranty for this (doubt I have one as I got mine through Expansys.jp), If it doesn't work then I can confirm that swett, and not much of it will break your truesmart.

I had my phone out with me last night fully charged, halfway through the night i took it out my pocket to find it was off , bit strange.
But not only that it wouldn't power on no matter what.
Usually you would try removing the battery (can't in the s)
Eventually managed to get it to startup holding down volume up and power together (nexus1 fastboot) which booted it up normally??
Im a bit concerned the phone is faulty, anyone experienced this?

Leave it on the charger for a while. Maybe the battery is empty.
You can always press Volume up and the power button and wait for three vibrations to make a hard reset (like battery out)

thanks ill try that!
I had this horrible experience on day one
Power and volume up key pressed together for 5 seconds and mine was a bright day again
happend to me before aswell, because the battery was pretty empty. leaving it on the charger for a couple of minutes resolved the problem
My wife's x10 mp did this with a faulty sim - have you another sim to try?

The 1st time that this happened, I thought that I may have done something wrong, but it happened again today. My phone turns itself off, requiring a long press on the power button (30 sec) to restart. When it restarted, I noticed a 10% or do drop in remaining charge in the battery (see attached, directly above the ":" in the text at the bottom). Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Personally hasnt happened to me. My brothers did something similar last night though. I wouldnt worry about it to much unless it keeps happening. Could just be an app acting up or a bug in the os. Phone is still new software bugs still exist all over the place.

The biggest concern is the prob with the restart. It almost seemed like it had bricked itself.
It was the same for my brother. Wouldn't start until he plugged into the PC. But he didn't know holding down power longer then normal does a hard reboot. If I remember right it happened to him as soon as he turn the on screen controls on in settings under PC connections.

I put mine down after sending a TM to my son. When I picked it back up. I had to hold do the hard reboot, which didn't work until I plugged it in (although I can't guarantee that plugging it in made the difference).
Flashing going fine, but just have a bit of an annoying problem. To boot into ODIN or Recovery, I have to keep trying and trying before it sticks and finally gets into what I want.
Right now I'm trying to get into recovery. Phone is off, I hold VolUp and the Power button. The phone buzzes and starts to turn on. However, sometimes it just shuts right back down. Other times, the Samsung logo appears with "loading recovery" in the top left, I release the buttons only to have it shut down again. Very rarely, I can get into Recovery or ODIN.
Anyone know why this or how to solve this?
Thanks!

That sounds odd... especially since at that point the phone is not booted so it's down at the hardware level. Maybe defective?

not sure, but got a ROM loaded up so i can just reboot into recovery. problem solved!
I had this same problem...I couldn't really figure out what was wrong but I too just use the boot to recovery option in the 4-way reboot menu. It'd be kinda nice to figure out what was wrong, though.
just found another issue. after my battery dies, i need to let it charge for 10-15 minutes before i can power it on.
my previous phone seemed to have a tiny bit "of reserve" to let you boot up and at least be functional while you were charging.
is this just a HW limitation on the S4 or is something up?

Usually you can wait a few minutes and charge it. That's how it was on the S3. I haven't let me phone die completely yet because the battery life is so good it lasts all day o when I go to bed it charges on my bedside and doubles as my wake up alarm as well as my medication alarms.

Sounds good. I just picked up one of those "lipstick" portable chargers as well, so will probably keep that on me at all times.
Had some soccer games to ref this morning and didn't set my phone out of the sunlight. Came out to the car after the games and it was off and very warm. Tried turning it on and it wouldn't. After I got home and it cooled down on the car A/C the whole way home it only does the below things.
The phone will flash the LG logo and then go to a black screen with the backlight running. nothing further happens after that. I can put it in download mode and such, but I really don't want to wipe my phone. Any ideas as to why it is only stuck at the bootloader.

It should blink slowly or maybe pulse would better describe it. I had that happen from heat when running benchmarks. Was able to get it to boot by plugging it in , powering it on and off then unplugging, then plugging it in and powering it on until the light blinked and charging animation showed. Others have taken phone apart and diconnected battery.

Just moments before you replied I began a re-flash of stock ROM. (probably a somewhat hasty decision in hind sight.)
I am beginning to fear more... It just show the battery charging animation on the screen now and will only make it to the AT&T music before locking up and going no further.
I read stories elsewhere of serious battery problems from leaving it get that hot. I hope I am just being paranoid and that the phone is truly just a dead battery. Although that doesn't make any sense considering it was at 100% this morning and the phone has been off more than on since then with no use at all.
Many thanks again for any help! I am certainly not new to rooting and such and have been an XDA lurker for many years. I am very proficient with phone issues and if there is anything else more technical to try I am not afraid to try that as well.

Do you mean you used lgnpst to restore?
If at this point it appears to be charging right and still hangs on boot you may need to do a factory reset. It will wipe your internal storage though. If you wish to try that it is done by powering off then holding volume down and power until reset menu comes up.

Yes, LGNPST.
Having troubles with vol down - power button. Seemed like I had issues with this last time when I nearly bricked it trying to root the phone.
Thanks again for the help. Almost in the home stretch now I think. Just waiting for it to get a charge now.
I had this happen once using Navigation on a cheap car charger.
I was in unknown territory, but as I got back to the main highway, I found myself knowing where I was going and stopped paying attention to my phone.
This lead to my phone getting hotter and hotter until it shat itself and would only display a black screen. I unplugged it and attempted to turn it off, which seemed to work. I left it off for an hour or so until I got home. It still wouldn't turn on for a while, so I stuck it on the charger. After a few minutes, it came up fine.
YMMV.
I'm completely at a loss here. I was running a 4.3 rom for the past week or two with no issues. Pulled my phone out of my pocket 30 min ago, hit the power button and the screen wouldn't light up. I tried it again and still no go. I tried swiping to unlock, even with the black screen and i felt it vibrate.
Ever since then my phone is non responsive. I can't get it to boot, can't hard reset it, nothing. The vibrates stop when I'm holding down power and down volume but that's about it. I timed the constant vibrates and they happen every 34 seconds according to the Win8 clock (which i've heard in inaccurate).
I'm gonna let the battery drain and hope that it will boot back up after it dies...but until then, any ideas?
Try plugging it into your computer and see what comes up. Which 4.3 ROM were you on?

That's the first thing I tried. I get nothing when i plug it into my comp. Nothing pops up in device manager. The comp doesn't detect it at all.
And I was running the 8/23 release of carbon 4.3 and I didn't have one problem with it until this happened :\
EDIT: The phone's battery finally ran out. It stopped vibrating and after a bit i plugged it in. After a few min it just starting doing it again.
I disassembled the phone and removed the battery for awhile hoping it would somehow help. Didn't do anything. It showed the flashing charge light (like when it's really low) for maybe a minute then it stop lighting up at all. Sometimes if i leave it unplugged for a bit and plug it back in it will flash the light again. That's about all I'm getting out of it now.
I'm thinking something failed internally. It happened while it was on and I was using it so there's no possibility that it was from a flash or anything like that.
Took my phone to the sprint store. The tech wasn't sure either but he thought it might be the screen that died. The vibrating could be the phone trying to boot then realizing there's no screen. They took it apart to check for moisture/damage and said I'm good to go for the $50 replacement.
So my new Evo will be here Tuesday.

did you resolved it i'm having same had same issue as you mine is htc sensation but think is the same thing ive replacet the digitizer some day ago and it was working very good untill it start to vibrate and than died, now it flashes an orange light when i try to charge and after a while stops but i cant power it on nothing hapens when i press power button
Did you resolve the issue?
Did you ever resolve this issue? My Evo LTE started doing the exact same thing this evening and all of the Sprint stores are closed until tomorrow. I figure it's something internal that died and I can't see what it's trying to do... I guess you just got the replacement and didn't ever get it resolved with that particular phone?
