My new galaxy s4 is acting weird....
I recently had the screen replaced because the phone fell and it broke.
But now that it's replaced when I turn it on it goes to the samsung logo and everything but right when the purple logo comes on it turns itself off. To get it working again you must take out the battery and wait a few seconds so it can turn on again and goes through the same thing.
I have no idea why but all I want to know is did anyone else have this problem and is it fixable?
I don't have guarantee so I can't get a free new one

Can you boot into recovery mode? Hold down home, power and volume up at the same time until it vibrates. Let me know if it still does the same thing

I tried that and a green robot like figure popped up with a few options on the top left.

That's download mode. You hit volume down instead of up
Does it stay on at least?

Yes it does but I'm pretty sure I hit the volume up button.

Hmm, what are the options? If you're in recovery I would try a factory reset to see if that works with the rebooting issue

Now it turns on, but I can only stay on the phone for like 10 seconds.
Then it turns itself off.
And to get it on again I have to take out the battery and put it back in.

Turn it off, and turn it back on. When it's turning on hold the menu key (left of the home button) and this should boot into safe mode. See if that stays on for longer

New problem,
that button and the one on the right aren't working either :/

OK. Then I'd suggest flashing a stock ROM via Odin. You can get these on SamMobile.com just make sure you get the one for your exact model number

I have the same problem with my Samsung S4 but my phone doesn't even get to the Samsung logo. When I hold down the power, home and volume up button nothing happens. If I do the same but with the volume down button it gives me the option to download a custom OS or cancel and restart the phone, no matter what I do the phone doesn't do anything except start switching on and then immediately switches off. I don't know what to do

Welcome to Android Central! The first thing to try would be a replacement battery.

Put it on the charger, make sure it's getting a charge.
The battery has at least 20%?

I had it on charge the whole day but it just switches on and off, same as before but with the charging icon.

Try a known good charger with a 3ft long known good cable. Longer cables are a known issue with charging.

If you have access to a Digital Volt Meter you can pull the battery and measure it's voltage directly. A fully charged one will be around 4 volts.
If the battery doesn't have enough voltage the device will not boot.
