hello, i woke up this morning to find my s3 international unresponsive. i was charging it so the red led was on but the screen wouldn't turn on and the phone was unresponsive. i pressed the power button for 10 seconds and removed the charger so the led went off but still the phone is unresponsive. now i can't do anything it won't turn on and i removed the battery many times but nothing. the last time i flashed anything was 2 months ago and i have no trouble with rooted apps except af wall. what happened? is the battery dead or something is wrong ?
i would appreciate any help

This happened to my S3, and i wasn't able to open it for 1 day.
-it's charging
-but cant turn on
i tried to pushed a bit hard the on/off button for many times. and BoooooOM!
i was thinking that the problem was on/off button contact.
well, u can try. but if not. better to send it to samsung

Its been 2 days since it has been dead. but still nothing.
U gave no one any useful information to help resolve the issue. What ROM were u using. What kernel. Stock charging cable? Stock or aftermarket battery? What were u doing when this occurred? Did u let it die and then try to charge it or did it stop working while charging?

Have you removed the battery first?
Mine turns on just fine w/o the battery installed but won't work the other way around
Not sure what happened and why happened. But all of a sudden the phone turned on and started to work after being dead for 2 days. Its all good now.
Thanks guys.
Hi guys,
I am having an issue with my S3....I have been flashing omegas rom onto my S3 for a while now and its all been fine. put v33.2 on there....working fine for a few days...then all of a sudden phone started to slow down every now again hanging etc, then phone just had a black screen today....nothing happened..no response the battery wasn't as i had just charged it.
Tried battery pull kept it out for 15 minutes, nothing, put the charger in nothing. Left the charger in for a couple hours now..nothing, tried a new battery also nothing. I cant get to the flashing screen to download screen nothing at all.
HELP!!!!!
Thanks.
Sounds like it needs a trip to a Samsung service centre.
Yes has to be sent back samsung/warranty, but first he has to get rid of the custom ROM somehow...
Sounds like another sudden death case.
Don't worry about custom ROM if phone is dead Samsung have no way of knowing, they'll just replace the mobo

Crap....really? nothing else I can do? I am leaving it on charge for the night see what happens....
Thanks guys!
Test with another battery is what i would do first .

Tried that...nothing is it worth a jig?
Well I was taking a video and I stopped recording and the camera app froze and I couldn't get any response out of the buttons but the camera app still showed the camera and that was still working so the phone wasn't actually frozen. So to turn it off I held down the power and home button and the phone turned off. Ever since then my phone won't turn on. I've read so many forums and I've tried so much e.g soft reset, hard reset, download mode, upload mode, USB jig and nothing works. When I put the phone on charge the left side of the camera gets warm (not hot).

I bought the phone on amazon so I can't send it to Samsung as I have no warranty and I'm also rooted.
The battery had 50% charge before dying
You can change the mother board but it will be costly. Do a JTAG Repair.

Any other ideas where I don't have to spend a lot of money. Also I haven't tried a new battery but I doubt that's the problem because the phone
froze before dying
you should try another fully charged battery first................usually when my phone freezes for some time and when i take off the battery and re insert............i usually lose 10-30% battery, sometimes more than 30%

yesterday the battery of my s3 was very low (around 2%) and i went to sleep without charging it. When i woke up after about 4 hours or so the phone was dead. I plugged it to wall charger but nothing changed i mean there was no battery sign or LED light. I thought the battery is completely drained so i left it there for about 15 min. When i checked again there was still nothing. I tried to turn in on but no response, unplugged the charger took out the battery then put it in , still no response. so i just left it there to charge for half about half an hour. Then i tried to turn it on again but still nothing. I tried recovery mode but no response. then i tried download mode and it did got to download mode. Now i thought it was OK so i restarted the phone but again it wont respond (Black Screen). I tried the download mode again(wall charger was plugged in the whole time). The phone did go to download mode but the screen started to Flicker and when i restarted it the boot screen(I-9300) turned up(still a little flickerish). and then it stuck there for a while. Then it went black. Again i left it to charge for about another half an hour. Now when i tried to turn it on, recovery mode or download mode Nothing happened, there was no response.
Then i started reading different threads on internet but couldnt seem to find anyone else with similar problem. Btw i checked the charger on Note and it was charging fine. then i tried to charge my s3 through laptop and the battery sign appeared and phone started to charge. I turned it after a while and it turned on Ok.
My phone is rooted , custom rom -Omega 39 with Custom Kernel Yank555 and Philz Recovery v4
Now my question is, Is there something wrong with my set? i mean the non responsive state and screen flickering. Should i get it checked or was it something that just sort of happens. Has anybody else faced a similar problem?. what can i do to avoid it in the future.
*Sorry for such a long post, its my first time. and i read about the S3 Sudden Death and now i am freaking out!..

I know this sounds silly but its not in "hardsleep" as some people would call it, where the phone is idle for too long and basically shuts its self down? Or it could be the sudden death issue associated with the s3. This probably isn't much help but its a suggestion, I've never come across this before

HELP! Guys. Most of you must be knowing me. I make custom ROMs for your phones. My Xperia SOLA was working perfectly FINE last night.
I've not done anything to the phone for a few days. Same CM9 ROM for 5 days now, not a single change. Put my phone for charging at night, and now it won't start.
If I plug to charging or USB, it shows RED LED. Cannot Fastboot, Cannot go into Flashmode, cannot Soft Reset, Cannot completely switch off device.
I CAN'T DO ANYTHING! Help guys, I can't buy a new phone it's been less than 6 months. And I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING to make the phone like this in the first place!!!
PLEASE HELP!

Your bad buddy......
Why not take it to the service center????
I know you would have tried everything....
So the last option left is to take it to the service center.....

My first red xperia sola also had this problem... I was on stock gingerbread... I did not flash any rom on it... But the next day, my xperia sola could not start up. I try to charge it and still red led... So I bring it to the service centre and they give me a new one.. Bring it to the service centre immediately!!

You charge your phone with the phone on or off?
If off, probably your kernel doesnt support offline charging. That's why it wont charge your phone.
I've been there too, try to press the "reset button" (vol + + power) and see if the phone vibrates, and if yes do it vibrate 3 times and try to get it going again in flashmode.
My phone have locked bootloader, i don't know if it is a kernel error..
Battery over drain. Finally got it to work
Confused as to what happened.
No warranty on my phone.

Tried everything. Flashing and all.
Kept trying to Hard SHUT DOWN.
Finally plugged into charger again and left it for an hour. Managed to boot. Charged 1% in 30 minutes (Was stuck at 0% till I wiped battery stats again).
Waited for 2% then flashed stock ICS. Charged till full (took 3 hours) then back to CM9
Hello! Sorry for digging this up, I can't find help anywhere. My girlfriend has the same problem with her SOLA, that is not in warranty time by now. When I plug in the charger red light turns on and then off after a few seconds. Does not respond to Vol Up + Pwr or anything. What did you exactly do to get it to charge?
Thanks in advance
