Still having TOO MANY problems with my Samsung Galaxy S 5..  I take it in to Verizon, NO Help.  My problems are...  phone won't complete calls,  Facebook and other online apps shut down during operation,  Messages don't go thru.  I have nothing but a glorified FLIP PHONE. It's amazing to me that Samsung did this JUST as their S6 came out?????  A marketing ploy or what??? I will never purchase another Samsung again!  I swore by them proir to this.  I loved my phone. Even though my Husband and the rest of the family has iPhones.  I guess my next purchase will be an iPhone.  4 months is a long time to be without a working phone when you are disabled and NEED a phone to be able to call for help.

just did factory reset

Is it still under warranty?  If so, have them replace it. If you've had the phone less than a year it should still be under warranty.

If not, I'd suggest a factory reset since you're having far too many problems with it.  If it's still a brick after a factory reset I'd assume it's a hardware issue that only a new phone will fix.

Do the reset immediately and if it's still a brick, have them replace it.  No sense in keeping the brick and working with Verizon indefinitely when it's likely a hardware problem (if the reset doesn't fix it).
