    Welcome to AC
    Going to start with the obvious. Have you done a battery pull on your device and rebooted it?

    It's fairly easy. Just pull of the back (battery door) and pull the battery. There should be an opening where you can use your finger to just pop it off.

    How did you put the battery in when you got it?? and your sd and sim etc? take off the back cover and the big thing that says samsung and some text on it is the battery to pull it out and put it back in and put the back cover on again and turn it on

    To be fair, I'm pretty sure the store he bought it from put in the battery and sim (if it has one).

    The battery is already inside the phone when you get it. My carrier rep put in the sim for me when I bought it

    Here's a link to the manual. Instructions on how to insert the battery are on page 12: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/co...D06_140312.pdf

    If the battery pull doesn't work, try booting into Recovery Mode and wiping the system cache partition, which won't erase any personal data: Reset: Samsung Galaxy S 5 | T-Mobile Support
