Today I left the house at 100% battery. Everything was normal until an hour later I pulled my phone out to check the time and it wasn't even on. I guessed I could have somehow held the power button down in my pocket so I just tried to turn it on, but nothing happened. I ran home and put in on the charger and once again nothing happened. The phone is absolutely dead for no apparent reason... Any ideas?
Try this, hold (Vol+ Vol- and Power Button) for 5-10 sek if this not working you can flash Stock Soft in Flashtool
I honestly don't know how that worked but thank you... Both for the quick answer and for the solution I had never heard of. You saved me a lot of hassle! It even booted at 87% battery what the f... Any ideas why this would have happened?

This happened to me too some hours after I installed busybox. It must be this app that conflicts.

an advice, when you wipe cache partition don't reset or turn off the phone, its not hanging or stuck, just takes too much time, wiping cache takes 5 mins aprox. if you reset before the process finish, cache partition can get damaged

Thanks mate
It hapenned to me again today and was way worse than the first time. This time I think was caused by the google store , and google services updates. Link2sd auto linked the DEX file to sd (it insists to auto link a new application even when I deactivated the option from the settings). The phone was really very hot, and was hot also while charging without charging indicator on. Thank God it actually turned on. Thank you again for the solution @BOLEK_PL.

Everytime I reset the phone it powers down but will not reboot unless I press the power button again, I have factory reset 3 times. Does this warrant a replacement phone?

are you saying that when you tell the phone to restart that it wont boot back up with out the power button??
Yes that's exactly right.

you may try a factory reset.. and if that doesnt work, then take it to sprint and see what they say.. it should restart when you tell it to restart..
this may be a stupid question, but are you giving it enough time to restart, and it just happens to restart when you hit the button?? (no insult to your intelligence, i sometimes get impatient when waiting for my phone to resart)..
I thought I might have not been leaving it enough time too but I waited about 20 seconds and nothing happened. I did factory reset, it seems to work every so often but the last few reboots it wouldn't reset.

you amy have them look at it.. i dont know that its a known problem, i dont restart my phone enough for it to matter to me.. but i do know that the 3d doesnt totally turn itself off either when you turn it off, it makes it sleep (just a deeper sleep), there is a setting for fastboot in settings under power.. try unchecking that box and see if that helps at all..
Yeah I always turn off fastboot since I like to start with a fresh amount of RAM daily. I notice when I slowly go through the reboot prompts it restarts fine, but when I rush through them it refuses to boot on its own. totally bizarre.

lol.. well slow down a little bit.. dont be in such a hurry..jk
same problem here. reboot would shut the phone down without the booting afterwards on my phone
Same thing here. The reboot option just doesn't work and I'm not about to factory reset to see if it helps lol.
Also had a random reboot today while using the calculator

The numbers on the calculator buttons are so fat, they probably leaked off the sides of the button and into the ROM, causing a crash.

Hello.
Because of numerous rom and Kernel flashes my battery behaves erratically.
For example, i am out of battery, my phone died, but when i put it for charging, the battery status indicates 100%.
I have tried clearing the battery stats but no luck there.
How can i solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Charge full battery and calibrate it with battery calibration from google play
I can't. I am charging the phone with it off, but it indicates a full charge state. If i try to power it on, after about 1-2 minutes, the phone turns itself off, like when not having enough battery.
I have tried the battery calibration tool, but the problem still persists.

I think you should read this tread regarding MAX17040 chip that is installed in your battery and steps to reset it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312273. If this doesn't work then I'm afraid that your battery is gone and that needs to be replaced.
I have done the indicated steps and i had no luck.
I have observed that after charging to full ( 100% ) the phone runs ok until about 93-94%. After this, the phone shuts itself down, and if i try to power it on, the display hangs at the Galaxy S2 screen ( the one with the triangle )
What am i suposed to do?
This happened to me before, and i got over it without much hassle, but now i can;t get past it.

or u can look at the beautiful triangle
joke
maybe this would help
reboot in cwm,
-factory/data reset
-cache reset
-in advanced menu dalvik cache reset and battery stat reset
-in mount and storage menu format system
-flash custom rom,
-when done ( do not restart system ) do a factory/data reset and battery stat reset again
i know, i can see irony in my advice but can't think of anything else
Try charging it for a while, just to make sure it is actually 100%, then pull the battery and wait 2-3 mins. Plug it back in should be good to go, works every time for me.

1) Battery calibration apps/methods are rubbish/placebo & do absolutely nothing. Save your time/money.
2) Sounds like the battery is cactus to me. Time for a new one.
I have managed to get it working by leaving the battery out of the phone, overnight.
Hi all, I bought my S3 last june in Italy. No problems at all ... until today.
This morning I left it on the table and after 5 minutes I saw it was turned on asking for the PIN code. I typed it, but after 5 minutes again I found it ... I supposed turned off. But then I couldn't tourn it on anymore. I tried to reset it keeping pressed the on/off button but nothing. I removed the battery and inserted it again after a minute but nothing. I keeped the battery out the phone for an hour, then inserted it again and the phone turned on.
All seemed ok, but then after 1 hour I found the phone stuck again: black screen, it seemed turned off but no button worked: reset, on/off ... Again: 30 minutes without battery then I could turn it on.
I'm not sure, but I suppose it hangs when going in stand-by. I tried to keep it on and it didn't hang for 1 hour. Then I backed up all my apps and data, tried to recover to factory default buuut ... it turned off but never tourned on, same problem as before ...
I suppose this should be important: I never rooted or modified the phone, it still i as I bought it.
UPDATE: it seems it can't reboot. If I try to rebbot while in AndroidOS the phone shut down but never turn on again (as described above) and then again take off the battery, wait minutes and so on. But even in recovery, where I tried to wipe cache e data/factory reset, if I choose reboot system, as before the phone shut down and ... same procedure again. I don't think it could be a software issue ...
Something about battery? But how could I check it out?
Any idea? Thank you all in advance.

I had thus exact same problem on my T-Mobile Galaxy S II. Something with the ROM and kernel that I flashed were clashing so I flashed another ROM. Try going into recovery mode if you can. I don't have an internationalS III but if you have flashed a recovery, then hold the volume buttons before you turn it on and continue to hold them until you get into recovery mode.

Dont know didn't find any info in your text about battery charge or plugging in power socket and try after 10 mins to boot the phone.
First of all than you.
A little update: it is definitely not a battery problem since I tried another battery but the problem was there again.
Moreover, I never changed the firmware or the modem and I never rooted it since I can't try another ROM, even if I would, it is not in the "state" to be rooted.
Soooo ... mother board?
Hi all,
Was updating to the latest version of AOKP this morning when the phone froze for 10+ minutes during factory reset (during the 'Wiping Cache' phase). As it normally takes <30 seconds I decided the only thing I could do is pull the battery.
Now the phone won't turn on, no signs of like at all.
Is it completely dead?

Doesn't sound good unfortunately. For what it's worth I long-pressed the power button during a recovery freeze and mine survived, although that could be totally un-related.
As far as diagnosis goes, what have you tried? Click the link in my signature and go to the section for 'no download mode'? and follow the steps there. Hopefully you can boot into DL mode somehow, then you should be good.
Does it get hot around the camera while charging? If yes, coupled with the lack of life signs, then unfortunately that's probably a motherboard replacement sorry.

Yeah gets hot.
Ok no worries - Im currently in Thailand so will be a easy fix!
Thanks.
can you get into download mode with pressing power+home+vol.down? if so you can flash stock rom by using odin
I went to restart my TS and now it won't switch back on at all.... nothing happening and no response... I have left it on charge and it gets slightly warm but nothing happens?? Any ideas??

You tried holding the power button down for more than 2 seconds?
I don't think that will help. The watch arrives set in quickboot mode and it can crash in that mode and not restart right. Might be the problem here, or his display backlight might have failed. Or his power button might have failed.
Anyway, try a battery pull. A full restart after a real shutdown via battery pull will probably recover the watch to where you can go in and disable quickboot.
Instructions are in other threads.

Yeh I tried holding down every button etc for looong time... Today it's actually it's started working again clever tactics I tried....
Stop playing it with it for a day (Vital part this!)
Plug it into computer for 15mins
Hold power down.... it came on Woop

One thing that people need to be aware of--after doing a Cache and Dalvik wipe in TWRP Recovery--the phone can 'seem' like it's stuck in Boot mode--BUT, it's just taking it's time to re-align all the apps, software etc... and I mean at least 10 minutes of looking at a stationary Boot screen--it worried me first time.
Well, mines gone too. It was fully charged. I was listening to music, turned off the app, put watch on standby and when I went to check the time the thing won't turn back on. Tried connecting it to the charger but no response. I'm going to open it up and see if that works. I know I'll loose my warranty for this (doubt I have one as I got mine through Expansys.jp), If it doesn't work then I can confirm that swett, and not much of it will break your truesmart.
