now today my phone is again turned off... and i hope it will again turn on after 48 hours...
can anyone of you plz tell me what type of fault is it????
why this **** is happening with my phone???
plz help me because i think one day my phone will turn off and will never turn on again or it will keep turning off on daily basis

show in service centre

Are u using stock rom? How did that happen in the first place? Maybe some screws need tightening or something.

Gangster89 that's pretty strange.
Did you ever let the phone fall hard on the ground and are the battery contacts still good? What ROM and kernel do you have installed.

not at all... my phone never fall never contacted with water... first i was on biftor rom v10 but after 1st time issue i changed the rom to stock jelly bean but now my phone is again turned off... it has been 6 days passed and my phone is not turning on except going into download mode only when it is connected to pc usb

thanks for your replies and sorry for my poor english

about 2 months ago i put my phone on charging and i was out for some personel work... after 5 to 6 hours i came back and removed my phone from charging and i logged into facebook app, after 5 to 10 minutes my phone turned off and then it continues till yet
now whenever i connect it to the charger or pc usb i get an empty grey battery icon with 3 seconds intervals... i have tried a fully charged battery of another s2 of my friend but still failed to boot up... my own battery works fine on my friend's s2 that means its not the battery fault

9329638 32
Is the battery the original one that came with the phone?
Do you checked the voltage of the battery?
I recommend you to try with another battery when the phone will die again and see if it can start wiht another battery!
Good luck!

yes bro the battery is original... and i have tried another battery but the results are still same... phone doesn't boot up, its not about battery because my battery works fine in my friend's s2

now here is another thing... when i connected phone to pc in download mode, odin showed up this dialogue box... can any one of you plz translate this?? will be very thankful

[Q] No reaction from phone whats however

I've got my awesome galaxy s3 for about 4 months now.
I'm still using the stock firmware and I rooted it a few weeks ago.
Today, the phone battery was at about 95%, it suddenly completely stopped working in any way.
No led flashes or turns on when I plug it in to charge. No reaction when I turn it on. No reaction from my pc when I plug it in.
I also tried ODIN/ download mode and whatever there is left. No reaction at all.
Also, the ODIN tool doesnt see the phone and the pc doesnt(device manager).
I hope anyone can help me

I have exactly the same problem, I have ordered a jig to see if i can get into download mode. I am told this could be a motherboard problem though.
I have changed my screen so i do not think samsung will fix it under warranty
May Sound Stupid... but have you taken the battery out and left it for a minute then put it back in?
sure have. Have done everthing, charged overnight, took battery out for an hour, tried different battery.
I took it to a repair shop in a shopping center and they said they think the motherboard is dead

Jup, tried that too, no change
Same thing happened to me too... Phone suddenly died. Still waiting for the jig. If not then service warranty for us is the best thing we can do.
Here's a update on my phone.
I tried to use a jig, a friend on mine had one, but no change there either. So I send my phone to samsung with the warranty. I was a little scared here because I rooted my phone. A few days back I luckely got a message that my phone was returned. Apparantly, it was broken so badly thay they didnt found out it was rooted. ^^
They replaced my motherboard and I never found out what was wrong, probably something fried...

Galaxy S3 unresponsive to everything :/

Today pressed the home button to turn screen of as per usual, and went to turn it back on to get into phone, and nothing happened...
ive tried taking the battery out, plugging into power, booting into recovery.
nothing...
it does have custom rom installed (omega 33.2)
help would be grand right about now :/
cheers,
Are you sure it didn't run out of battery ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 with a BIG
haha yeah light doesnt even turn on to indicate charging when plugged in... and it was 90% before it just stopped working :/
Condolences, and join the club: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993044
As you have no warranty its worth trying a USB recovery jig .

cheers guys, took it into vodafone yesterday and their sending it off to samsung, sounds like the ultimate sudden death issue, but cracked the screen a few weeks prior so hopefulyl samsumg dont try pin it on user error, see what happens i guess

[Q] S3 not turning on

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

I certainly hope its not a sudden death issue..:crying:
Try a different charger and cable. The s3 ones are notoriously crap.

are you still on stock htc firmware/software? you can try the following (though no guarantee that it helps):
- let your phone run out of battery until it turns itself off.
- wait a few minutes, turn it back on and wait for it to turn off again
- charge your phone while power off, when the light turns green, charge it for another hour or so.

I am on stock F/W at the moment, I have tried something similar to that to be honest thats roughly what happens every time it ditches out lol.
O2 at the moment are being useless and refusing a replacement so i might go down the rooted route if it might solve this issue as ive heard of a file that is in the wrong folder that can suck back the battery and make it hot.
Would it be wise for me to root mine and put custom rom on ?
Still in contact with HTC direct at the moment hoping that they can help........doubt it though
Thanks for the help

i don't know of such a file causing these problems.
rooting your phone and installing a custom rom gives you much more freedom than stock rom, but i don't know if it helps with your battery problem...
try rooting first. If that doesn't work, then Just switch ur battery with a new one; )

But thanks for the help

[Q] Overheating and not turning on !

I rooted my phone with Cyanogenmod 11 (nightly) two weeks ago, it was fine, no issues. On monday morning phone was fully charged, but with very little to no use it was completely discharged in 7 hours. When I connected phone to a charger (original and working) it didn't want to turn on, it did NOTHING, black screen. When I borrowed battery from my brother's S2 wich was charged almost fully, it booted KitKat but it showed that the battery has to be recharged. I put it back to brother's phone but it showed only approx. 15% less than before, it was okay. I tried charging my phone with brother's battery, but it was incredibly overheating , not like when you play games, I was afraid it was going to blow up. It is overheating even when phone is turned off and charging or even when normally turned on, on battery. I tried enabling airplane mode, I even installed stock ROM with Odin, but it is still overheating. It is not overheating near the camera but on the left side of the screen, I don't know what that chip is there for. Stock ROM now gives me error after 2 min. saying "Charging paused, battery temperature too high." Now my battery is discharged and phone is unable to charge it, only black screen again. Could this be done by rooting it with Cyanogenmod ? it was the only ROM that I installed through the step-by-step process on their site and for couple of days it worked fine. Is this a hardware issue that would occur even if I wouldn't root my phone, also is it somehow fixable, or would I need to change motherboard completely ? PLS HELP !
