Hi all,
I've searched for an answer and couldn't find one.
My Galaxy turns itself off while charging and most of the time, I have to take the battery out to turn it on again.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks

First, caused by AC charger or USB PC or both ?
Your firmware version and rooted, mods etc ?
Have you tried a factory reset ?
Different chargers and cables etc ?
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
Only by AC charger I think. I've only got the one which came in the box.
It's a standard phone, not rooted or anything.
I haven't tried a factory reset, will try that tomorrow if it does it again tonight

op says his turns off WHILE charging, so yours and his isn't doing the same thing.
Actually, mine is doing that too!
This morning, it turned itself off while charging, then when I turned it back on it froze, and then when I rebooted, it turned off again with the blue light flashing.
I'm also finding that the screen when waking up is very temperamental to unlock.
I'm getting fed up now!

Hardware failure maybe? (I think the main reason is the AC adaptor was broken or something).
Have you try with another USB AC adapter?

I think it might be something to do with wireless being on. Sounds stupid, but when I have wireless on, I get the screen freeze and the turn off while charging.
Going to try the rest of the evening with no wireless and see what happens
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Well, I tried the wireless off and charged and it was fine. No screen freeze or turn off during charging.
As soon as I turned it on this morning, screen froze when it went into sleep.
Luckily I I have unlimited data!

Have you bothered to Factory Reset ?
Sounds like WiFi drivers though.
Flash another kernel would must likely fix it.

Did anyone get to the bottom of this? I just received my replacement phone and sure enough, phone switches itself off when wifi enabled.
Then I saw the *#0011# trick to turn off wifi power save mode.
Hi,
No, I haven't got this sorted yet. Still does it with me and now my wifi and data keeps dropping out!
Going to send it back to 3 and let them fix it. My friend as one and his is fine

The thing i mentioned above your post works but not sure if that's the answer.
Hi again,
Well I rooting and putting a new ROM on and, though it didn't switch off while charging, it does still freeze when coming out of sleep.
So I'm getting there!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Try to check the temp when charging, I read somewhere that if the phone overheats it will shutdown automatically. About the freezing issue, try to do a factory reset first, maybe some apps that you installed are causing that.
If still the same, maybe its a hardware issue.
Hi again,
Sorry to keep going on about this, but the problem has been solved!
Basically, the new firmware update has sorted the problem. No turning off while charging, no freezing when coming out of sleep - its perfect!

Hi guys,
I had my S3 on the charger overnight, as I usually do, with the phone turned on.
This morning I woke up and as usual the LED shows a green light, but the phone appears to be off..
No matter what I try, I can't get it to turn on now.. Also if I plug it back in, I don't get any LED showing..
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

can you go to recovery mode? (col up+home button+power button) if so, you can try wiping caches/dalvik cache.. better yet do a factory reset.. and if it still does not boot. IF you can go to download mode (col down+home button+power button), you can flash a stock firmware from sammobile.com but you have to have an account there first to download the fw.
I hope this helps
Hey guys,
I've had the battery out for around 2 hours now, and it still won't turn on. None of the key combos work (recovery, download modes etc..)
Any other ideas?
Dan
So anyone have any other ideas? I've ordered a jig, but that will take a few days to come, and I don't even know if that's the problem..
Really like to get this sorted today.. Just seems like it came out of nowhere!
Dan
Very strange situation if you have tried all above method. I don't know what else to tell you apart from take it to service centre. The Sorry mate...

lol.. I've had the battery out for half a day now. Not one method I try gets the phone to boot into anything at all.
Anyone? Still no luck :/
Logic says first step is to try a new battery .
Then try USB Jig .

Yeah. I actually tried someone else's battery tonight. Still no dice. Waiting for the USB jig to arrive. :/ if that fails I have no ideas..

I'm guessing that if they got the phone going, even though my binary count is 0, they might void my warranty due to using a custom ROM?
Dan
So, I had a go at making my own USB jig using a single 300k ohm resistor.. and either I didn't do it right, or the jig won't fix it

Good news man.
So my phone ran out of my battery today and when i tried plugging it in again it wont charge and it loops through the battery symbol every 2 sec. I flashed the AKOP jellybean 4.1 rom last week and it worked fine. Any ideas?
It could be a Sod? Just flash another rom through recovery.

I cant enter recovery mode or download because it says battery is too low.
I've had something a little similar happen to me recently. Mine was reporting a constant charge when unplugged. The fix was cleaning the USB port with alcohol and a toothbrush, and then using a toothpick to push the inside of the USB board up just barely. Apparently USB port issues are common with this model. Maybe that's the issue with your phone?

Okay so I tried that and I'm getting the same thing. Is it possible the battery is just dead? It doesnt seem likely cause yesterday it was working fine.
Replace the battery, or turn it on without the battery.

I'm able to get to download mode without the battery in. I've tried flashing the stock samsung rom but same problem. I'm unable to do anything else without the battery. With the battery in I cant even get to download mode or anything else. I'm just gonna try another battery from the att store. Otherwise if anybody else knows anything plz let me know.
I'm having this exact same issue. I can't get into download mode though. How were you able to?
I have tried leaving it on the charger for over an hour now, and no luck. I think the battery has literally died on me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013766
**Update** I can get into download mode as well without the battery in. But I haven't flashed anything yet as I'm guessing we both have the same issue. Its got to be the battery. Let me know how the test at ATT turns out. If good, I'll just buy one off ebay for like $7
Try this: Once you are in download mode without the battery, put the battery in and see if it charges (give it a hour or so). Someone did this when they had the problem you are having and it worked for them.

I'm unsure, but maybe you're right and it is your battery. I'm not an expert with this kind of stuff so I can't offer too much help beyond the basics. From what I understand our phone's battery has a gauge built in to monitor battery level and report it to the OS, instead of relying on Android's built in monitoring. Maybe that got messed up when the battery was completely discharged? Hope a new battery gets it working for you, those are relatively cheap.

The same thing happened to my boss's phone. Since we have the same phone, I put my battery in his phone and it worked fine. So he ordered a new battery and it worked. You may have to get a new battery.

I think I have posted about this before my phone is still doing it and it makes the USB unrecognized by any system so I been looking for a fix for this.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
I went ahead and bought a new battery from Ebay. Only like $4 so I'm not too worried if it doesn't fix it. I'll update everyone when I get it!
I met this problem before. The phone shew charging and then reboot, again and again. The phone was overheated, in the night before.
I bought new battery and external battery charger from eBay. The new battery works well, and the old battery works well after charged by the external charger once. It seems that the cellphone need some minimal battery to work. I guess the phone use too much battery in the night, for some unknown reason, so the phone does not able to get enough power to get into charging circle.
I'ts my guess. If someone can test the voltage of battery, it may show the reason.
Replaced the battery and it is fixed. Just had a battery completely drain on me.
Today morning, my phone was at a charge of 10% and I put it on charge and after sometime my phone went off and since then it's not starting.
I tried the USB cable. The charger also but nothing is working.
I don't know how to start it.
Any type of help will be very appreciated.
Phone does not turn on when battery is <5%. Charge your phone using the original Motorola charger, preferably use wall charger for say 30 mins at least. If it does not work, try different plug point.

Well if still nothing works you can use the factory cable either make it other buy one on ebay and use it Rsd lite back to stock and bring the phone back up to life

But in my case its a bit different, the notification light is no more blinking or something. It's just the black screen. Not turning on at all.
Tonight I will leave my phone on charge for more than 7 hours for sure. I really hope it starts.

I have ordered for a factory cable. I am gonna try putting up a new ROM on the phone. Let's see if that works.
I recalled one more thing, before my phone got bricked, the day prior to that I used battery calibration application on my phone. Do you think that would have affected my phone?
Phone was working great..
CM 10.1 LATEST BUILD
HBOOT 1.40
4EXT RECOVERY MOD
This is how it started... Was driving to LA noticed my phone was dying 14% , plugged into the car charger then checked to see the drain/charge mAh lucky it was at 658+ mAh arrived to my destination unplugged the battery and it was at 72%.
Restarted my phone just to restart .
Listened to some music battery was at 67 then bam.. Phone turns off!!!!!!
Now I tried powering it on NOTHING. No red light, no dimmed light. Plugged in the wall charger original port and USB cable.. No charging light. Tried pulling battery out , putting it back in nothing. Left it on the charger for an hour just to see if it will pick up a charge, nope nothing.
SO SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
