S3 4 way reboot - hot boot - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. For some reason, using hot boot on my s3 just brings it into the samsung logo and stays there forever. It's not frozen, as the glow still goes on, but it takes longer than a normal reboot.
Isn't the point of hot boot a faster reboot?

blinking blue led!?

I'm running gingerblur 3.5 an my wifi occasionally fails but a quick reboot usually fixes it..... but this time a reboot got me stuck on a boot loop.... after 3 boot loops the phone started up but there's a blue led flashing!? It may be worth mentioning that the led only flashes when the screen is awake and i'm unable to reach the lock screen. Locking the phone puts the phone to sleep but the lock screen isn't appearing!? I'm not using and have not used any led notification apps.
So i got the lock screen back by putting a password on it then removing it but i just noticed wifi is definitely broken i guess i'll restore with tenfar's recovery

Are you connected to something by Bluetooth and you happen to be out of range when it flashes blue?

no, bluetooth is off but i plugged the phone into the charger the led turned green then when i unplugged it the blue led was off. Then a few reboots later wifi is up and running. I will be happy when the devs get an AOSP rom running on this thing.

Strange problem solved, stopped at bootanimation

I've had a problem on my xperia play, but I don't think its specific from it, because I m on stock...
1 out 10 times I trie to turn it on, it stops on the boot animation.... don't freezes, just don't go any further, the animation keep going... I've noticed that if I touched the screen sometimes it vibrates, only the bottom part, because I was in the unlock screen, I just can't see it, then you unlock and touch on the screen and launch a random app, and then the screen goes as normal....
Sent from my R800i using XDA
On my Galaxy S I've similar isue.
When the phone is completely booted I've seen the bootanimation yet until the power button is pressed

[Q] Stuck on screen saver

Hello!
My story:
I have motorola Atrix 4g with "Dark side". I wanted to restore phone to factory defaults, and tried to do this from android menu. Then i rebooted my phone. After that motorola logo appeared (as always), then Dark Side screen saver (in normal situations then i will see android lock screen), BUT screen saver just reloading. When it loads about 6-8 seconds screen becomes dark, and then it happens again and again. I left my phone for 15 minutes, nothing changes.
I Decided to set up this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781970
Everething flashed normaly with no errors, but situations the same, i stuck on screen saver (this time triengles). Only diffrence that now screen is not becoming dark, just never ending screen saver.
Hope for some advices!

Black screen on boot with T989

I'm running aokp jb on my phone. The other day I decided to change my boot animation so I used the tool in Settings to do so, then rebooted. However, after it got past the Samsung logo it was stuck on a black screen for about half a minute before the screen got brighter and the touch keys lit up, and it never boots into the OS. What's also strange is how I can feel the vibration of the pattern lock. I entered the pattern and heard the unlock sound. Is there any way that I could remove the boot animation and bring it back to the stock Aokp one, or do i need to reflash? Thanks.
Try wiping cache... !

Grey and white horizontal lines covering the screen

My samsung galaxy note 2 was stuck in a boot loop so I switched a battery. Unfortunately, no long after the phone refused to boot up and stood frozen in the logo sign. Now it shows grey and white blinking lines all over it when I try to turn it on, what could be the problem ? If it's the emmc, Is it possible to extract data in odin mode?
