i got s3, suddenly it started to reboot itself all the time, what i see is only the samsung logo and then black, and samsung again.
the funny thing is that when i put the battery in, it automaticly start with this loop.
during the loop, when i press home+volume up, i can see the cwm screen for two seconds, and then it reboot again.
if i press home+voulume down, i see the warning in the stock recovery, but when i press volume up, nothing changed, and eventually after two seconds it reboots again.
i tried to connect it to my pc, but it dosen't show it in device manager, and have no indication that i connected it.
also, when i connect it the charger, i see circle, and then a battery for a brief second, and then the circle again.
is it simple hardware problem (stuck power button? even though it seem okay, but it may explain the automatic turn on), or half SDS?
anyway, are there any recommondations? i have'nt flashed it recently or anything like it.

as i wrote before, i can enter to both recovery modes (volume up or volume down) for something like two seconds, i can't do anything in it.
if i try to get to download mode (home and volume down) i see the warning, but either i press volume up or down, it reset itself.

the regular, about flashing custom roms, if i want to continue press volume up, restart, volume down.
either way, it restarts.
any way it is the power button stuck in 1 mode?
If phone starts on battery insertion, before you push the button then yes, power button is shorted out.

Try leaving the battery out overnight/long time, it helped when I got my phone stuck in a bootloop. But that was due to oc/uv...did you try something risky, causing it to bootloop?
no, it was in regular use, nothing risky.
yesterday i dissassembled it and checked with multimeter, it seem that the power button shorting the circuit, so i ordered a new one, going to be a surgical operation...

I had the same problem. found this suggestion googling and seems to be working.
clear the cache:
For anyone having problems with the new 4.4.2 kitkat update the solution is wiping device cache (i was on chat with htc support and they guarante that this process doesnt void warranty).
1. Disable fast boot in settings/battery
2. Shut down the device
3. Power up by holding power button and volume - button untill you see a white screen with 3 androind figures
4. With wolume buttons scroll down to recovery (i believe it is the 2. Option) and select it by pressing the power button
5. A screen with a phone and a ! Mark should appear after a while. When it does briefly press the power and volume up button at the same time until the screwn changes
6. Select wipe cache (last selection) with volume buttons and select it with the power button
7. After that select reboot system and that is it
It takes about 5 minutes and it fixed my issuses with decreased sound and battery life. The htc support operator said it has something to do with leftower files from the updating process.
Then reboot the phone and it will clear the files out.
I went from the battery dropping 15% per hour, warm phone, etc. to my phone holding its charge today.
I hope this works for ya (and keeps working for me)
I found this solution here: http://www.gsmarena.com/newscomm-8369p2.php
I thought it wasn't working until I rebooted the phone, and it gave a message about deleting the temp files and since then the charge has held very well.
I have a rooted c8633 and factory reset it yesterday, then battery suddenly dropped from 30% to 0%.
1. After turning it on again, the power button wont work(cant screen on/ off) . But i can still use it to power on or force turn off the phone (power + volume up), so i assume its some software problems but i didnt install any apps i never use before.
2. The battery percentage seems not accurate, sometimes it drops fast but some times its very slow.
Could anyone please help with these problems? Thank you.
Sorry i cant capture any screen because my power button is not working.
Hi,
My phone has a faulty power button and I'm unable to get it fixed. I've found easy work-arounds for it for locking and unlocking the phone. However, I'm not sure how to turn on the phone if it's switched off.
When I connect the charger, even if the battery is 90% it won't turn on on its own...

Nope, the only way I could turn it on was to open the back cover (very painful process) and then press the button area with a pin.
Couldn't get it fixed, so I had to change the phone.
I think there are possibilities in rooted phones, but otherwise the best thing to do is to keep a battery alarm at 30% or more, and keep it on charging whenever you can to avoid a power off. In power on, there are many ways of locking the screen in the MI UI.

Thanks. I installed Blocco Schermo - Simi Studio v.3.21 , a simple app to lock the screen...and when i flagged the option "show in notification area" , the problem magically disappeared.. The Power On/Off button started to work again. I think it was an hardware problem (because the problem has come up after the phone was at the sunlight for hours in my car and went very hot) but now i think it's obviously a software problem.
Hi guys, I got the same problem too. Unfortunately, I drained my batt while playing games. So the problem now is I can't turn it on. Any idea how to turn on the phone without using the power button?
I solved it
Hi guys i solved a problem! You should hold main button + down volume button for 10-20 seconds. Then, when MI Remote opens, stay on the reboot and wait about 3 minutes, then stay on the reboot systems as well. Great work!
just change the volume flexible. its also not took much cost.
my phone is rooted with Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26
but today it start to turn off after each call
when i get home trying to turn it on it won't start, tried flashtool but no respond when i connect the phone while down volume key is pressed.
when i connect to charger the red light turn on for few seconds then show the Sony logo screen and stuck there no respond to power button and the red light is off while it's stuck on that screen it doesn't even showing charging as it suppose to do while the phone is off
when i press volume up key + power key the screen goes off and the red light is on but the screen won't turn on when i press the power button again
any one with an idea to fix it?
update: ok after many tries i been able to flash it with flashtool with that D6503_23.5.A.1.291.ftf
but still can't turn it on
when i connect the charger it show charging like 18% and when i leave it for while it show 0%
i disconnect the charger try to open nothing
then connect the charger again it shows 25% and i leave it for few seconds then it shows 100% but when i try to press the power button it shows empty charging battery icon while the phone is still off
what could be the reason ?
ok i manage to flash it with stock firmware
but still turning off randomly or restart randomly
and when it turned off i can't turn it on again unless i connect it to charger and when i do it keep blinking red led and sony logo on and off
is that hardware failure or battery failure or software failure ?
ok every one i have solve it ,
it came out to be faulty battery
