Did you flash any custom ROMs or is your phone completely stock?

First thing to do is to check the battery condition.
Put the phone on charge, then plug in the battery. Is there any heat as it charges?

yes there is heat .. i don't think the battery is dead .. when i removed the battery it was on charge and fully charged ..
sorry sorry there is no heat tell now
You have no recovery mode to try a factory reset .
In which case you need a service centre .
jje
so that's it i have to return the phone for the second time ..
and what is about the battery heat there is no heat does that mean the battery is dead or what

I just tested it and apparently no, won't turn on or go into either recovery or download mode.
You might get lucky and its just a faulty battery or your phone might really be dead. Either way your all set as its under warranty...

when i hold the power button just keep loading sign and wont boot up

the battery reading could just be wrong, try another battery.
Goto the samsung captivate/android development/cognition v2.3b6 forum. There is how to's on reconfig batt stats and battery calibrate. Its worth a try IMO.

Good.
My galaxy s2 failed to turn on.
Yesterday I installed the rom-BAR7 CriskeloRomV22-S-Tog-BLN-CallRec-Overscroll-3LS-CamHack-PWR-M-Esxt-(XXKI3-2.3.5), and the kernel SiyahKernel v1.7.8
and it works good
He was charging all night, the morning did the Battery Calibration, and was working perfectly
By late afternoon, I'll take it, and it dont turn on, nor in download mode or recovery mode or normally.
If you connect the charger a bit, note that it heats up, but no links or picture or anything
If connected to the computer appears to be installed this drive, but without success as you can see the image HERE
What solutions are there, without being sent to the warranty?
thanks
Pull the battery, wait a minute, reinsert the batterry and see if you get in recovery or downloadmode.
You could try a USB Jig.

Just a thought
Maybe you had huge battery drain because of the rom or an application and it can not charged because of the temperature.Happened to me once with cm7(most probably my drain was from webroot security or setcpu)
.Remove the battery for longer time eg 15minutes and try to charge it
Ps if you have zero battery you can not enter recovery or download mode.I lived that and its really annoying

Yes as you have been informed already .
One try the USB recovery jig to turn download mode on that fails or you dont want to try a service centre for a non warranty repair .

Just another guess:
Charge the battery for some minutes.
After unplugging the phone, pull out the battery, external SD-card and SIM-card for some minutes.
Try to start that phone with battery only.
Good luck ...

if you know someone who has the same phone why not try using their battery?
or leave the phone to charge overnight and see what happens in the morning...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18139062
listen how far i come to know that it is mostly happend by moisterizer or humidity.
mostly people take his fone in their pocket and when sweat release from body body's tempreture again conveert it into vaupour and this vapour some how enter in to mobile in your pocket. so go to samsung care or any good mobile repair shop who know his job better and say your exact situation and also say which i mention here ok. may be they can help you to dry the battery coonect point ok. becos some time when you pull off your battery and press the power switch button for 1 minute and then put back battery on mobile but dont push power button only insert the battery, u will find that near camera some heat is rising up and after some time it would be good heat enough near your camera. if i m rite then plz reply me ok.u know i did every thing like bootloader update, jtag but no success. if u have external charger charge ur s2 bateery with it and then clear ur battery touch point in both means on fone and basttery too with blade or paper knife and then insert ur battery if u will lucky u will see that ur fone will start but when will u switch off ur fone again ur fone will refuse to start. i m damn sure about it. reply if it happens to u ok

Remove the battery for few minutes
I tried that, but it didnt help, I'll do it again now and be more patient...
Nothing, waited 12 min, plugged it to the power, no battery recharging sign. Tried to turn it on, nothing...
EDIT: it's very hot around the camera now... (still completely dead tho)

I think your phone is completely dead now.
Send it to Samsung repairs if your phone is still under warranty. They will probably change the motherboard.

You can try to use USB jig (although i really doubt it will work.
Your problem looks like a typical dead motherboard.

Just throw it into the wall and phone will be puzzle.

If USB jig fails to work, then there is no way for them to find out anything.
After two weeks they came back to me saying that its the logic controller that is oxidized, which for some reason isnt covered by the warranty, so id have to pay 200 euro for it....:crying:
Hello,
Well, I was just on facebook messaging my friend. My battery soon reached 30% so my phone entered power saving mode. Suddenly, my phone turned off and now it won't charge. When I plug in the charger, the battery charge sign loads but then goes white and turns off. I tried entering recovery mode (hold power and vol up and vol down), but it didn't work. I tried entering download mode using all methods possible and that didn't work either. I have Serendipity 9.4 installed on my phone and it is rooted. What should I do? Is my phone salvageable or should I just throw it away? I can't go to Samsung and ask them to repair it because I have flashed a custom rom on my phone. I am at a loss...
Take the battery out of the phone for a bit. Put it back in and just plug it in.

Try plugging your cable into your computer then plug it into your phone while holding both volume buttons. If that gets you into download mode try flashing stock firmware

I cannot get into Download mode either... Idk, I get the feeling my phone can never be fixed since I can't take it back to Samsung since I flashed a custom rom.

Navigate to www dot MobileTechVideos dot com and look up their phone number. Ask them how much it will cost to fix your phone.

So it costs money to fix it? Nevermind then. I guess I am just bad with phones and shouldn't have one.

Of course it costs money it just depends if you're willing to spend to repair it. Dunno if you planned on keeping this or upgrading soon

Look at ur micro usb port of ur phone as well as the micro usb cable that u r using to charge it and see if any of the contacts are messed up in either one and therefore causing it to not make good connection. Or there may be some dirt or something causing the connection between the cord and ur phone to not be good also.
Also u could try a different cord or car charger...

I've had this happen before. After trying several chargers. In the midst of getting an S3 at Sam's Club, as one last resort I tried their charger and it worked. Since then I've purchased an external battery charger and always have a spare battery on hand.

Going by your Name,I guess you belong to some part in Asia( India or Pakistan -Most probably), just like me.
Just go to any Mobile repair shop nearby and give them your battery and ask them to give it a "BOOST" it wont cost u more than few bucks(10-20 INR/PKR) and 10 min's.
Now insert in your phone and that should work.
repair cost

The fact you were able to customize your phone rules out the fact that you are "JUST BAD WITH PHONES" i have been doing this for months. There come times when I get a phone that just doesn't respond the way it is supposed to. I have two i777 that I am really struggling with right now. One of the previous posters suggested flashing back to stock. I understand you CAN'T get to download mode, that suggests to me that you require "JTAG" repair. I have seen that available for around $35.00. that's not bad. Search EBAY and google and maybe even here.
Goodluck
here's the problem!!!
I rarely use s3 while exams going on!!
last time I switched off it while it is on 4% or 5% of battery.. and thrown in to the bag
now I just took phone and tried to turn it on!!
phone wont boot up..considered charging makes some sense..just connected cable to the s3..a grey icon of battery occurs and shutdown..again tried by plugging off and on..nothing happens same grey battery icon and shutdown..read somewhere that holding power and menu button will startup the phone..its working but phone again switched off after booting up in about 2 sec..
do I consider replacing battery?? if that's the case..it gave me an average battery life of day before.
I don't know what to do??:crying::crying:
someone please suggest me what to do
thanx in advance!!!
anyone???
Hold on Vol-Down+Home+Power and see if you can boot into download mode.
If you do plug your phone and reflash stock firmware through Odin.

thank you!! it helped me to figureout something..but still confusing
I replaced a battery of another s3..
it worked..the best thing is my battery worked on another s3..
but my phone is not charging even after replacing battery..i thought charging pin of s3 is reason for all confusion..but if its the reason..when my battery is completely down(yesterday) I plugged in charger and it shown me some grey icon of charging(if charging pin is not working it will not show up)..and again confusion started..
iam currently in india..phone is rooted using android revolution hd rom..my warranty is not expired still..am I eligible for warranty??can I claim warranty?? I thought its not related to software issue..so comes under warranty.
ok even if it doesnot comes under warranty?? can I go for service center for repair..will they repair it(of course by taking some extra bucks)?

bro i think your charger is the problem
Have you tried plugging it to a computer via USB cable? If that does not work then maybe buy a new battery. Cos there's a flaw in some Samsung batteries. They die completely if they reach 0%. Hope it helps. Good luck

I would bet the charger. My S3 always go to 0% before charging and never had a prob...
You should...
a) Flash latest software from Samsung through Odin for your country
b) Root it through chainfire's autoroot
c) Install and use Triangle Away to reset counter
d) Perform full unroot through supersu
e) Check if you have official status in download mode
Then you should use your warranty. Probably problem is in your USB cable or USB port in your device. I suggest firstly trying with other cable and if it doesn't help do as I told you above (if possible of course) and send it to warranty with a note "does not charge".
this happened to me and it was just the power button being stuck...I had the exact same issues.... I have 4 batteries so the issue was clearly not battery related. All i did was smack the phone around a bit and boots fine now.
mine just freeze in batery icon when i try to charge off.... but he charge normal on. anyone have that issue?

Yes, Sanosuke, i have the same problem. I think it happened after trying to use triangle away on my i9305T. When turned off, phone will charge, but frozen at the battery screen (at 0%, screen wont dime, nor change to the current battery levels).
Anyones know how to revert the changes made by triangle away?
Thanks!
I'm having the same issue installed Gummy ROM 4.4.4 everything is flawless except charging the device while powered off shows a grey battery with a frozen white circle
Ahm is the problem solved? Im experiencing the same..i cnant boot up and hen when i plug it on the charger gray battery with a circle inside is the only thing showing up.. i dont know if i can boot it up to download mode or etc.. can u rply here [email protected]
