Hi all, I bought my S3 last june in Italy. No problems at all ... until today.
This morning I left it on the table and after 5 minutes I saw it was turned on asking for the PIN code. I typed it, but after 5 minutes again I found it ... I supposed turned off. But then I couldn't tourn it on anymore. I tried to reset it keeping pressed the on/off button but nothing. I removed the battery and inserted it again after a minute but nothing. I keeped the battery out the phone for an hour, then inserted it again and the phone turned on.
All seemed ok, but then after 1 hour I found the phone stuck again: black screen, it seemed turned off but no button worked: reset, on/off ... Again: 30 minutes without battery then I could turn it on.
I'm not sure, but I suppose it hangs when going in stand-by. I tried to keep it on and it didn't hang for 1 hour. Then I backed up all my apps and data, tried to recover to factory default buuut ... it turned off but never tourned on, same problem as before ...
I suppose this should be important: I never rooted or modified the phone, it still i as I bought it.
UPDATE: it seems it can't reboot. If I try to rebbot while in AndroidOS the phone shut down but never turn on again (as described above) and then again take off the battery, wait minutes and so on. But even in recovery, where I tried to wipe cache e data/factory reset, if I choose reboot system, as before the phone shut down and ... same procedure again. I don't think it could be a software issue ...
Something about battery? But how could I check it out?
Any idea? Thank you all in advance.

I had thus exact same problem on my T-Mobile Galaxy S II. Something with the ROM and kernel that I flashed were clashing so I flashed another ROM. Try going into recovery mode if you can. I don't have an internationalS III but if you have flashed a recovery, then hold the volume buttons before you turn it on and continue to hold them until you get into recovery mode.

Dont know didn't find any info in your text about battery charge or plugging in power socket and try after 10 mins to boot the phone.
First of all than you.
A little update: it is definitely not a battery problem since I tried another battery but the problem was there again.
Moreover, I never changed the firmware or the modem and I never rooted it since I can't try another ROM, even if I would, it is not in the "state" to be rooted.
Soooo ... mother board?
I only got my rezound a week ago and already having troubles. last night the phone froze up and I let it sit for around 5 minutes before pulling the battery. I went to turn it back on and things went as usual untill it got to the 4G LTE screen and it froze. I pulled the battery and rebooted a few times. I tried pulling the sim and starting it withouth the sim. And without the back. I've tried factory resetting the phone but it freezes before it can reset. I haven't made any changes to the phone since I got it. And I'm not very tech-friendly so I have no idea what even to try to do.

So new phone or refurb ? Completely stock ? Sounds like a bad phone if nothing was done to it , otherwise could be a form of the wcdma bug possibly. If it will boot up, go to network settings and try to see what mode it is on , or download lte on/off and make sure its not on wcdma.
Hi Guys,
I've been running CM10.1 for several days now and yesterday my phone freezed. I tried to do a reboot by holding the power button. But all it did was turn the phone off. Since then I haven't been able to boot anymore. Nothing seems to work.
I can't get into download mode and I can't get into CWM. Nothing happens when trying to boot, the screen stays black. I've tried charging it for several hours and I've tried leaving the battery out for several hours. Using a JIG does not work either.
I'm afraid that this is the end of my Galaxy S2, but maybe there's some hope.. somewhere.
So... My dad bought this S2 for him a couple of years ago, and on the first 15 days, he let it fell, and the screen broke, but he kept using it like this until around 3 months ago...
Now he has a G2, and the S2 had no use anymore, and I thought about using it as a dashcam on the car...
Installed dailyroad voyager on it, and used as dashcam for about 15 days...
Then today, I got on the car, it was off, but with the charging cable plugged in, I pressed the home button, it said the battery was 100% charged, so I tried turning it on
It went until the animation that plays when booting, but restarted, I tried again about 5 times, each time it rebooted a bit early than before
It got to a point where it didn't even reach the animation, just the "Samsung Galaxy S2" appeared on screen, and rebooted...
Then I tried going on recovery mode, and it worked, so I cleaned the cache partition, made it clean user files, etc... then pressed to reboot, and still didn't work...
So I thought it could be a battery problem, and unplugged the cable while it was on the recovery screen, and it didn't turn off, I let it on the recovery screen, and went to do some work for about 2 hours, it was still on
Now it won't do anything without the cable, can't turn on, can't go to recovery, and even with cable plugged the "Samsung galaxy S2" screen won't appear anymore, and I couldn't get to the recovery screen anymore....
Here's a video of the actual situation:
Does anybody knows what's happening and how to fix?
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 running stock firmware, unrooted and bootloader locked. Ever since a few months ago, I've noticed my phone having some problems such as it randomly shutting off around 20%. Over time, this battery percentage increased until I essentially had to keep it plugged in to turn on. Now it will be at full charge, and still won't get past the Samsung Logo or if it does, it will restart in around 1-2 seconds after getting to the phone lock screen. During this time, the battery percentage is still fully charged and nothing else is abnormal. I noticed something else as well before it got to the state. If I was not connected to the internet the phone will not restart when it runs low on battery, but as soon as I do connect it restarts. I've considered getting a new battery, but is there anything else I can do for the time being?

Edit: I managed to get it to turn on for longer than 5 seconds and turned on flight mode and now it does not turn off (while plugged in). I'm going to do a backup real quick.
