The model of my phone is SGH-T999. It is not rooted (I'm going to root it soon though), its running Android 4.3 and I do admit I've dropped it a few times but it has a cover. It shuts off at the most random moment and restarts itself, and sometimes it won't go past the Galaxy SIII logo before restarting itself once more. Theres a possibility the lock button has something to do because when it stays in that startup loop I play around with the lock button till it finally finishes the startup succesfully, but I don't know how the lock button can make it shut down on its own while its turned on without me touching the "power off" option in the window that comes up.
Wrong forum. This is for gti9300 only

Its the broken power button, long pressing the power button reboots the phone without any dialog.

About a month ago i upgraded my Skyrocket to CM10, everything worked perfectly..then suddenly today i went to go make a text message and my phone restarted. instead of it booting right back up it continues to sit there and vibrate periodically. occasionally the Samsung Logo will appear and it will look like it's booting, the CM10 bootscreen appears then freezes and goes black with the random vibrations..i've tried holding the power and Vol. Down buttons to get into the recovery menu but nothing happens..
Does anybody know what the hell happend to my phone? and did my phone suddenly turn into a little vibrating brick?

Slow rockets so slooowww
Hello, this morning I restarted my phone because it was freezing and it turned on on the boot screen where it gives me options to Recover, Reboot, etc. The volume button broke a long time ago. It sometimes works to move the option but pushing the power button doesn't do anything. Is there anything I can do to restart my phone avoiding this screen? It goes there every time. Could one of the volume buttons be stuck? Please let me know because I really need my phone ASAP. Thank You!
Stock
It stays on a black screen unless i plug the charger in. I can then operate it for a while. But then all the sudden a message permanently stays on the screen saying "to restart your phone, press and hold the power button and volume up button for 10 seconds". also after this message appears the home button reacts by taking a screen shot (weird).
I have tried rebooting it and updating PRL check for software updates. Don't know what i should do.
I can't even boot into stock recovery because it won't power down it will just reboot. So i can't turn the phone completely off.
Anything i can try?
Try pushing your power button rapidly many times. It is probably stuck you may feel it... This has happened to me a couple of times. Maybe try some compressed air around it.
Ahhhh... Max Venom injection! Much better now...
I'm having a really strange issue with my gear fit:
1. Screen is black
2. Screen responds to touch(!) - I unpair the device and pair it again, when i press the left(top) part of the screen (confirmation button) it stops vibrating...
3. I am able to turn it off and on but the screen is still black (Samsung logo does not appear)
4. Bluetooth works fine
5. Kies3 also recognizes the device
6. It happened randomly a few times - the screen turned on and was responsive to touch but when i try to do anything it freezes and goes black again. I noticed that I can even change the wallpaper and clock through the Gear Fit Manager. I thought that it could be just the screen issue but I've never dropped it and as I mentioned - it responds to touch.
This problem appeared out of nowhere - I've left the watch (turned off) for a month on my desk, the battery was at 40% today, tried to turn it on and...
Due to the screen failure I cannot put it in the download/recovery mode. Is there a way to do it with screen off?
I know it's stating the obvious but have you done a full reset on it? (Hold the button down, a good 8 seconds, until it forces it to reboot)

Just my 2 cents,I had to hold it down more like 20 seconds, way more than seems logical.

Has there been an answer to this because I've been having the same issue with mine for about 4 months. As stated before, it turns on but screen stays blank but I know it's working because it vibrates after I turn it on. Mine is a international one.
possibly a screen defekt? was the same thing with my when i rip it apart
My phone rebooted once, like the power button was pressed ("back", "home" and "last apps" buttons were blinking). And now it continues rebooting after showing HTC logo. I can't get into recovery, bootloader or something else, because the phone reboots every 10-20 secs. Also the battery indicator gives any light and the phone seems like not charging.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
