I was wondering if there was a trick to power the S3 on without using the power button. It feels a little fragile and I want to be able to take precautions in case anything happens in the future.
On my old N1 I could plug in the charger, take the battery out, put it back in, and the phone would boot. However, this doesn't seem to work on the S3. Does anyone know if any method, app or mod which could enable this?
For a second there dude try and enjoy ur device..Don't bother about the button,u can press the home button though,will do the job:-/

Won't turn on the device when it's powered down (as far as I'm aware)
Only way I can think of at the moment would involve a jig and PC.
Force download mode with the jig then flash anything (preferably same modem) in Odin. Set Odin to auto reboot phone and done.
Would only use this method if the power button failed / broke.

Moving to Q&A
To boot the Galaxy S3 without a power button you plug the phone in to a power source via usb or into the laptop.
Pull the battery. Hold down VOLUME DOWN and home key while putting in the battery. This will load Download mode then you can use volume down to reboot.
Figured this out yesterday...works every time.

Hey guys, I really need your help with this one.
I accidentally reset my Vibrant back to stock using the Odin one-click (I897UCJF6 final) for the samsung captivate. Now I can't go into download mode. I've tried holding the up/down volume button then putting the battery in (vibrant way) and the captivate way with up/down volume button + power button then releasing the power button.
Hold Up and down button, put battery in, then put in your USB cable. Make sure you dont press the power button.
Or
Get a Jig.

I've tried that numerous times. However, it's not working.
Edit: Thanks for mentioning about "jig". I'm guessing this is my last hope.
Possible remedy
I had a similar problem when working with my friends phone yesterday. I used the boot to download function in the AIO Toolbox app and it worked perfectly.
Good luck.
same thing happend to me kinda. just hold the up volume button only and plug the usb in. thats what i have to do now
So not only is my power button not working, Im stuck in the bootloader screen and cant reboot since the power button isn't working. So how can I reboot my phone to at least get it back to being a phone? I took the back part of the phone off to see if I remove the power button and manually press it would that work, no luck there. Any suggestions?
*******Ok so I think I fixed the problem, turns out the power button just need a little bit of help. so if I mess with it to turn off and on it's works. Thanks for the responses, glad to know that when needed, help is there and will be given******
Also, sounds like I might need to be moving on from this phone to the M8. New phone??? well alright!!!!!!

Ok, I am connected to my comp, but how would I fast reboot without the use of the power button?
OK UPDATE!!!
So I held the power button down for a min or so and it shut down and rebooted. But the power button still doesn't work.
Yea I know, it doesn't make sense if the power button doesn't work how did it reboot when I held it down for a min? Im trying to wrap my brain around that one too. lol
Dear all beloved s3 users out there,
I have a problem with my s3's power button.
Only touch it, and my phone will show shut down and reboot menu.
And if the phone is in my pocket, the phone reboot itself.
Does anyone know some tricks? Can we disable power button?

No, your power button is faulty. Simply replace it.

thanks man.
But it is not "simply" for me.
Hey,
I got 2 X Galaxy S3 I9300,
and they both stuck on bootloop, I can enter download mode but after 2 sec it's bootloop again and i cant change rom,
I try to enter recovery mode and it's dont work, it's show me the samsung logo and again bootloop,
i tried to remove the battery and put it back and the phone turn on alone,
It's mean that i need to replace the power botton?
Any solution?
Thank you.
That could well be your problem, a stuck power button.
I've never once seen a galaxy s phone that gets to download mode and then reboots.
I'm fairly certain that's your problem. Get a new power button from eBay.
Meantime, if you're confident working with electronics, you could disconnect the power button and manually make the contact yourself to double check that it's the problem. But if you're not confident doing that, then just order and get a new button fitted.
Edit: Do this to check if the power button is stuck... Take battery out. Hold volume down and home only. Put battery in. If the phone goes to download mode then your power button is obviously stuck.

You'd need to check a teardown video on YouTube. I've changed power buttons on s1 and s2, but not on an s3 yet.

Is there any software or commands I could use to diagnose my phone over USB? The screen is black, even during boot (no logos), but the phone is still working in the background. The notification LED blinks normally, menu and back button lights up when pressed, and it even rings when someone calls, though I can't see who it is b/c of the black screen. The screen is not cracked or damaged, and I didn't drop it, so not sure why this is happening. I want to test the GPU or other components before I put down a lot of money for a new screen and it no resolve the issue.
Phone is a rooted SM-N910V that has been working great for 3 months.
Thank you!

Hi , try with key kombination .
1. Make sure your phone is OFF
2.Now Press toghether Vol + and power button and hold like that until second vibration (reboot)
3. If that doesn't work try with another combination .
Vol - and Power button
Vol + & Home button & Power button for about 10 second
Vol - & Home button & Power button for about 10 second
Good Luck

Thanks for the suggestions, though I have already tried all those plus other things.
I've left the battery out for over a day, removed sim card, held power button in to drain any residue power.
I'm lost as to why all of sudden the black screen. Hoping there's a way to test the phone to confirm if its the lcd or something else like the gpu chip. On a laptop you could plug a monitor in the vga port, don't guess phones have this option

I read that the phone was rooted so maybe that custom rom has some bug and that way you get black screen .
Try to flash him back to stock firmware and see if the problem is solved .
It is just rooted on the standard firmware, I didn't install any custom firmwares. But I was wondering if I could possibly reflash it from a backup I made with twrp. I cant get to recovery, well actually I could if I new the exact steps since everything works, I just cant see crap.
Is this even possible or is there another way to access twrp over the usb?
