I give up any advice would be very appreciated.

My S4 will just randomly go dark and appears to be powered off 2 to 3 times per day (All Bluetooth and WiFi show disconnected). It seems to be random when this happens. I have tried everything form flashing back to 4.2 stock (odin) to new kernels, modems and it just doesn't matter. I have also tried TW Roms, GE Roms, and AOSP roms still the same random lock ups. At first I though it was a app but even with clean install it will happen, but it appears to be less frequent.

Also the phone will not power on unless I do one of 2 things, Plug it into a power source, or take out the battery and hold the power button down for a few seconds with the battery removed. I can hold the power button down for 5 minutes and it will do nothing with the battery installed.

I don't' have any experience with a crash loggers but any advice would be great. I'm worried this is something psychically wrong with the device.

Thanks
