Hi,
My I9305 S3 Wont Turn on via the power button.
I connect it via USB and it loads the following in this order:
*Connect USB
1. Need to charge logo
[split second]
2. Battery charging logo
[1 second]
3. Reset
[repeat 1 2 3]
*photo of the battery icons displayed*
s2.postimg.org/iz6xu6ry1/phone.png
You cant get to the Android Settings
I got a phone tech to try another battery.
That didnt work.
He then took it apart and it said it isnt the power button.
He is unsure why.
It was flashed back to stock after using SentinelROM and every now and again it would restart by itself, now it wont turn on.
Any ideas?

happened to me also. try change different cable or charger & try to connect to PC. and check if your micro usb port clean or not.
and if it work, let the battery charged for a while before turn it on.

I tried 3 different cables connected to PC, a different battery and it didnt work.
It wont turn on unless you have the charger in so im assuming its picking it up fine.
I made sure the micro USB port was clean.
I kept it on there for an hour once, boot looping, and yeah still didnt turn on.
Its got me stumped.

Report your own post and ask a moderator to move it for you, the i9305 has a separate q&a forum.
If it won't boot into download mode then try a usb jig, but sounds like you need a new motherboard -take it to a different phone tech.

How do you get into download mode? i cant boot into the rom and when i do it by pushing the buttons it doesnt work. no button combinations work. Please help!!!
Well it really depends on what bootloader you currently have installed. But this will probably get you started: Good luck!

okay i have googled it i flashed a rom with a different kernel and tryed to restore back and now i cant get into anything i have read that you can use adb but i dont know how and it seems like you have to have a working phone to do it and i was wondering if there was another way.

what happened ??
is it working at all, does it show anything or bootloop when you turn it on or does it show anything when its charging
if it doesnt do anything at all when trying to turn it on or charging then it might be hard bricked
when i turn it on it goes to the rom boot screen and doesnt go past that and when i plug it into the computer it shows its looking for the battery status but nothing ever comes up. If it is hard bricked is there anyway to come back?
Buy a JIG. That will kick the phone into download mode. The phone isn't hard bricked if it still gets life. Jtag will fix hard bricks that get no life at all. Good luck!

it isnt hard bricked if it was it wouldnt show any life at all, screen would just be black constantly when trying to turn it on or when you plug charge in but yours comes on so your fine
theres 2 ways...
1st
open odin
take battery out of the phone
plug usb into phone and hold volume up and down
push battery in and should put you in download
or
open odin
hold volume up and down and plug usb into phone
mine only works second way but most people use the first but try both
if it still doenst work do what kawika said and buy a jig but keep trying with the usb for a while plugging and unplugging in difffernet usb ports, took me 2 hours once to get it to connect to odin once by just plugging and unplugging in different ports

I have a Nightmare problem.
The phone does not shut down. When i try to shut it down it turns back on after 2 seconds.
The phone storage wont mount ( debugging enabled ) it only charges when connected to the computer.
The phone will only shut down if you shut it down while its connected to the charger.
If debugging is off connecting the phone to the computer shows " MTP connected " but it will not show up in the computer.( or connect to kies )
The phone randomly beeps as if the charger is pluged in/out.
Occasionally the phone shows a yellow triangle with a flashing battery on startup.
The battery information/health/status shows " Overvoltage "
What iv tried:
Different roms stock custom
Root/unroot
A new battery
A new cable
Leaving the phone off over night with battery out ( seems to fix the problem for 5 mins or so lol)

do not know if this would work or not but worth giving it a try. first download a rom. then once you download it go into recovery. wipe everything and i mean everything. wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and then go into mounts and storage and then format system. flash the rom and see if it happens again. if it does my option then would to send it to samsung and see if they can do anything for you or your telephone company you are under contract with to see if they can do anything to help...
try my guide first though...let me know how you get on..oh by the way..backup before you flash a rom again

Try to clean your USB charging port (again), it's hardware related! The ultimate solution is to change the USB charging port.
If you spilled something on it, your warranty is gone, so you can change it yourself. The part cost is approximately 25$

What he said ^ :-D :-D
Sometime it fixes itself but really the only sure way is to replace hardware either warranty or by yourself.
If you're gonna fix yourself take extra care with power and volume buttons on the motherboard as too many noobs rip those off and impossible to fix and motherboard is basically your phone.

There's a problem with the charging port. Happened to a friend of mine and all I did was gently moved the middle metal piece inside the charging port either up/down till the problem was gone. I used a small flat head screwdriver.
If you decide to do this you MUST do this carefully and gentle.
I am not responsible for any damages to your phone.
Hope this helps

Yes, this certainly sounds like an issue with the charging port. Please take it in to the service center if you are not sure how to proceed further without damaging your device.
I was taking a video, and finished it, when suddenly the phone froze up and turned off. I've been using MIUI, and while it's mostly pretty stable, reboots and crashes happen, so I just rolled my eyes. But since then it's been completely dead. I couldn't turn it on, even after taking the battery out several times, can't put it into recovery or download modes, and it's been connected to the charger for about ten minutes now and still nothing.
I haven't flashed anything for ages, haven't done anything odd with the phone at all, I have no idea what could have provoked this. Please help, I can't imagine what I'd do if my phone was permanently dead.
Samsung Galaxy SII with MIUI weekly ROM (currently 2.4.27)
Things I have tried:
Long press power button to turn it on (obviously)
Same thing after taking the battery out for ages
Press Vol up + Home + Power to put it into recovery
Press Vol down + Home + Power to put it into download
Plug it into charge
Plug in data cable connected to computer
Take out battery for a while, then replace, plug data cable into computer (but not phone), hold volume buttons while plugging in phone (internet guy told me to)
Everything above shows absolutely nothing on screen. Charging heats it up a little.

Just another try:
Maybe only the screen is "defect".
Boot into download mode - even if the screen keeps black.
And connect the phone via USB cable to your PC.
If the PC recognizes the phone, you could try to flash another ROM (with Odin).
If not ... is your phone still on warranty?!
Good luck !

Nope. Not a bad idea though. I wondered if the screen was broken, but then there should be vibrate and boot audio when it boots up.
Take the battery out dude, leave it out for 3 mins, then put it back in, then try accessing download mode (vol down + home + power)

Same issue.
Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I have the exact same problem as the OP. Only I wasn't even using my phone when it died it was just sitting on the side.
The 'back story':
My phone died whilst doing absolutely nothing. I tried plugging it in to charge and it came up with theimage I've attached below, and it just flashes on and off the screen at random intervals.
I tried recovery - nothing.
I tried D/L mode - worked once but got the 'battery too low - cannot download' error and it hasn't worked since.
Tried 2 different batteries - nothing.
Removed the battery for 10 minutes and retried - nothing.
Removed the battery while keeping the phone connected to the charger - nothing.
Connected phone to PC with original cable - nothing.
The top of the phone also gets hot when trying to charge.
Cannot attach the image yet as I can't post outside links...
But the symbol is the greyed out battery with the 'loading' ring.

Maybe your battery is messed up. Try using someone else's battery to see if it will turn on.

Do you even have an I9100 ?
All you need is a USB jig which will force your phone to enter into download mode. USB jigs are small devices which are very helpfull if something goes wrong while flashing. You can buy a USB jig directly from ebay, it is for about 4$ - 5$ or you can make one home yourself. It's not very hard.

I am having a problem with my Galaxy S3 when plugged into USB. It wont recognize the USB connection via laptop or charge via laptop or Samsung charger. Tried three official Samsung cables and chargers, 2 computers, and still nothing. The only time it recognizes anything is when the phone is in Download Mode. In which I can restore firmware and everything else. However, no matter what firmware I put, it still will not recognized the USB or charge. If anybody has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
There are different drivers that need to be installed. As it recognizes the download mode seems like CDC driver is installed, but if you download kies, it should install all the necessary drivers automatically. Did you try it with a different computer? If this doesn't help then your last option is to factory reset.
Hope this helps

Downloaded Kies. Has all the correct drivers. Tried two different computers. Have two Galaxy S3's, swapped out batteries. Both batteries are good in one phone. The other phone just wont recognize USB or charge in any situation. Factory reset it 3 times. Cleared everything off the phone. Didnt change anything. Factory ROM no kernel hacks or anything. Cables are genuine Samsung that came with the phone. Used mine and my friend's cable for his S3. When you plug the phone in when the power is off, u can see the battery, but then the screen goes black and doesnt charged. Also we charged up both batteries fully using one good S3 proving both batteries are good. Im out of ideas..Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it!! :laugh:

Well if you say, that you did a full wipe, just curious that after factory reset did you restored it from a backup or started new. I recommend start new. Even if this doesn't help than it definitely seems a hardware problem. Get it checked.
Just wanted to share. I had a Iphone 4s and suddenly it stopped charging through a wall charger and used to charge through a usb, after numerous restores I got it checked and there seems the problem.

Started brand new. Didnt restore from any backups or anything. Didnt root it at all. It seems as whatever the firmware that it uses for charging just stopped working...Im at a dead end...its funny because there isnt any topics online with a single similar symptom.
I have the same problem..
It doesn't give any notice when i plug it into the computer,
when i charge it the screen gives a grey battery loading picture
and then just turns black.. i can still acces download mode and use odin..
which makes it really strange..
it would be great if someone knows how to solve this
Thx in advance!

I have the exact same problem on my note 2, have been searching everywhere but cant seem to find an answer.
First of all hello xda, long time reader, first time poster.
I know it's been a long time since the last post, but instead of starting a new thread i suppose it's better to post here.
I got the same problem a few weeks ago and tried everything software-wise and still nothing. I noticed that when i turn my phone on i get a notification "USB connector connected" which leads me to believe that something is keeping the connector busy and unable to charge/connect exept when in d/l mode. Has anyone found a fix for this yet? I'd like to try and fix it myself before taking it in for repair.

I have exact same problem. Seemed to occur out of the blue. I took it off the car charger and everything appeared as normal until the next day I go to charge it with wall charger and no response, except for the grey battery image appearing for 2 seconds when and only when powered off and plugging in the charger. Tried many cables/chargers to no avail. There is also no response connecting to a PC, when the phone is on.
For the moment I can charge the battery(s) with an external charger and still use my phone.
I made a simple USB cable current monitor once to measure current consumption of portable devices. Just a 0.1ohm resistor in series with the USB V_BUS (+5V) pin. Since this fault occurred, the V_BUS pin current after plugging in the charger, starts off 250mA for few seconds while the grey battery image appears then the phone shuts down with a 5mA residual current. Clearly the battery is not being charged. Previous to the fault, V_BUS current during full charge is around 950mA. I'm sure its a hardware problem.

Yesterday my mobile battery was draining fast and ultimately it got switched off.
Today when went to charge it , it is not charging.
No download mode no recovery mode.
I charged my battery externally tried everything.
Changed battery, changed charger nothing helped.
Tried connecting to PC.
removed memory card.
So now my phone is completely dead:
-Dont turn on.
-Don't show 'charging' icon when plugged on power source.
-Don't eneter on download mode.
-Don't enter on restoration mode.
-Don't recognize on the PC.
-Don't recognize on Odin.
Is it a hard brick?

Is is becoming hot whan u plug to pc/charger (wait 5 minutes). If it does that means u have hard briced your device. And how old was it ?

Maybe your USB charging port is damaged. It's highly unlikely your phone just 'decides' to hardbrick itself, unless you did a major system change just before.
Try to replace the charging port, not very hard.
Order a port from ebay and watch tutorials on youtube. That's how i did it, and charging works great.

I charged my battery externally, using Anker universal battery charger still no hope.So the there can not be a problem in USB charging port.
There may be a problem in battery pins on the mobile itself. I will check with the service center tomorrow.
