It is the presence of dust and sweat in the charging socket of the mob. Phone which short circuit it and power up the driving mode,,, try clean it very carefully with any thing and it will disappear ..

If you have a stock rom the only solution is factory reset . If don t work you can try to erase storage memory with factory reset or update your official Firmware with odin or kies . Your problem seems to be software .
Sorry for bad english

How on earth did you reach that conclusion?
My hunch is as previous poster, either usb port is damaged or contaminated, that is what triggers dock mode after all

Be very gentle, use rubbing alcohol, and whatever you use to clean make sure it is lint free. It may need replacing but that is quite cheap and easy to do,

Hi,
My S3 suddenly keep restarting, i dont know why.
restaring stop when my battery gets low, i perform factory restore thinking that might fix the problem. im success to restore it on factory default. i try to charge my s3 thinking its ok now. but im suprise the problem was not fix.
while charging my device keep blinking and showing a empty battery and battery on half charge. i try to unplug the charger im back to keep restarting.
guys please help me.
This should be in Q&A section.
You need to provide more details. Are you rooted? What rom you using? Perhaps try list some apps you think may be the caused.

As usual, try uninstall any apps you suspect is the caused. If problem still persist, factory reset should solve it.

UPDATE..
According to service center they need to replace my S3 main board and it will took for a while.. huhuhu. is this acceptable? my S3 is just morethan a month old i bought it last week of June do i need to demand to replace a whole unit? coz imworried about how they gonna replace the mainboard. some tech dont use hands gloves to avoid static or to avoid contaminate the parts of deivce. pleae give some advice.
I don't think they will exchange the whole unit for you even if you demand for it. Under warranty they have the right to repair only the faulty parts. Hope everything goes well the repairs.

K remove battery and plug usb into computer but not into phone. Next hold the two volume buttons and plug in the usb to your phone and see if it boots.
I might be wrong about this, but it seems like you wiped your Os. You might need to find someone to do something called jtag (I think that's what it's called) its basically the process used during manufacturing to install the Os. Look up how to un brick a hard brick. You'll read more about it.

You flashed the package listed while your phone had low battery. While flashing, the battery ran out. Now it will not boot or change. Am I correct?

I was not trying to be a ****. Your explanation was not quite clear and I wanted to make sure I had all the information.
When you plug your device into the wall charger, does it charge? Can you get your hands on a fully charged battery?

when i plug my device into the wall charge nothing happen the charge screen doesn't appear. And i dont have any fully charged battery.
At this point I would recommend either buying a battery and external charger for it to see if your problem is a dead battery and a phone that is not charging. Otherwise, you will probably need a JTAG service to fix your phone. Mobiletechvideos is a service that has been used by many members. The owner is a member himself.
You could try another cable, but I don't think that is the issue. When the phone was killed mid flash it corrupted the system to the point that it won't charge or boot.

Yes. You can remove the back, then the guts, then the bezel. Its a chore. Find a disassembly video on Youtube. I'll be over here praying for you.
It probably is covered under the year warranty. After the video gets you discouraged, call Samsung.
that is a big no no, lesson learned, do not flash a rom and kernel from another phones rom, i hope u get it fixed.

I have just posted a couple of hours ago asking why my new Cyanogenmod 10.2 rom would be freezing, and I think the problem is to do with my eMMC chip. I have one that suffers from the 'sudden death' problem.. So I've posted this in a new thread as it's kinda a different question..
Anyway, Samsung have released a fix, but I can't find any instructions ANYWHERE on how to apply it.
I've found this on the cyanogenmod wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/EMMC_Bugs, but that simply links me to a github repo of the code, with no instructions on how to apply the fix.
Could someone direct me to some instructions, or talk me through how to apply the fix?
Thanks,
Luke
Firstly, Title is misleading. Second. Its not the sudden death chip tat gives u lag. I have the sds chip too and when I ran cm 10.2 I have NO LAG.

It's hard to say exactly when, but it was after having my phone sent off.. I had found that a way to fix it was to reduce the amount of free space on my internal sd card, so I got a dummy file generator app, that nearly filled the sd card, which seemed to stop the problem.. However I am not able to do that now, because the phone freezes before I'm able to search the play store..
I would ring optus (my phone carrier), however now that I've flashed a custom rom, my warranty is void, so they're not going to do anything to help me..

Ok cool, I will have a look at that..
I managed to get into the play store and download the eMMC Brickbug Check app, and it's telling me that it's still a problem, so Cyanogenmod 10.2 doesn't have the fix incorporated into it..
I would still like to find how to apply this kernel patch, as I reckon it will definitely help..
CM 10.2 does indeed have the fix incorporated, the checker only checks if you have the chip that's affected and nothing more. It will not tell you if you have a fix applied
