I have a new app installed, from the App Store, and have started this. After I wanted to enter my name the app hung up and since then the tab is dead. It can not be started anymore.
Home Button + Volume up + power button does not work either.
Does anyone have another tip? I've never had anything like that and it's not the first device in my hands.
It is not rooted. Is the normal software from Samsung on it.
I had it on my tab pro 12.2 and it turned out my micro-SD card had gone bad. Please remove it if you have one in your tab S3 and restart it.

Try power button + volume up + volume down at same time? Are you sure the battery is charged? Try a different charger and cable.
The tablet hung on the original charger half the night and the other half on a Sony charger. Each time a different cable is used. Unfortunately it stays dark on the tablet. Power button + volume up + volume down did not help.
How dead is it? I mean, is it turning on?
(the lack of a notification light on this tablet annoys me, as I think it would help in such a situation!)
I had something similar when I was rooting it..
There should at least be a factory reset layer. I got to it with volume up and home - no power button required. I believe I had to hold them for a long time, ten seconds or so. And if it shows life you then hold the power button. Apologies if that's what you tried, but you don't hold all three buttons at once is all!
I am inclined to believe if this doesn't work your tablet might not actually have any power. Which could imply, say, a battery issue.
It could be the other way around, oddly. The tablet is on, but the screen has hung with no display. Another combination to try is power and volume down.
The tablet is absolutely dead. No matter what combination of buttons. And no it was not rooted or something like that. Since I still have warranty, it arrived this morning in the repair workshop.
The tablet has now been repaired and replaced the motherboard.

Dear all,
I have my new tab (64Gb/3G/wifi) for one week and I cannot power on since few days.
I'm sure that the battery is full because it was in charge all the night.
I tried many things (holding power button during 5, 10, 30, 120 seconds, holding power and volume left button) but each attempt failed.
I just know that when I connect it to the laptop, Windows sounds as it is recognizing an USB device but 2 seconds later sounds as the device was removed....
Is there any way to fix the problem? Have I to send the tab to the samsung support?
Thanks for your help... :-(

Mine does it occasionally. I hold the power button down for a long time and let go - repeating as necessary until it revives itself.

Mine doesn't revive with that....
That's why I need to know if there is a real fix for this issue...
Try holding power and volume down button at the same time dor aprox. 15 seconds. Then you should see the "download" logo. Then press volume down to switch to CVM - acknowledge with volume up. Then in CVM just choose reboot.
Hope it helps you

I'm leaning toward faulty.
This one looks to have worked for mine - Tab locked up and died on Sunday, and *fingers crossed* looks to have just come back to life (within the last 10 mins so am not 100% sure).
Leave the battery to discharge completely. Then charge it up. That's it.
With the lack of screen output, the only way i could see to tell if the battery is dead is to plug it into a PC via the USB cable. If you get ADX mode then it's not discharged. Leave it a bit and try again. When you plug it in, if it doesn't show ADX mode make sure you press and hold the power button for a few seconds to make sure it isn't just turned off.
**Edit**
Looking good so far. Am leaving it to charge for a bit before i turn it on but i can at least now press the power button briefly to get the battery indicator
**Edit 2**
Having left it to charge for a couple of hours i then took the plunge. Booted up no problem so it looks like this has worked for me.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

I have this same issue. Mine was fine went to bed woke up and it was dead no life at all. I have done all button combos different cords and factory chargers nothing. I even swapped the battery for a new factory samsung battery inside nothing. i dont get anything when I plug it into my computers though no found sound or anything. I left the battery unhooked for an hour before connecting it to the board inside also. I now have the power button taped pressed for last 2 hours hopeing that will drain the battery like other have done and then I will try to hook it back up to a charger. Any other ideas why it was fine then next day dead?
Yes exist a fix back to 4.0.4 stock recovery and all bugs gone for me that works

TP cannot turn on without dock if powered off completely...
Happens when its shut off completely as in long press the power button. No matter how long I hold it to turn on it just refuses to turn on.
I plug it into the dock give the power button a tap and it turns on. Without the dock no matter what I try it just will not turn on.
Anyone have the same issue or is mine isolated and an exchange is in order?

I don't know if I'm having that same problem but my TP has a tendency to shut itself off if I have the keyboard attached and leave it sitting for a day or two. I have to push and hold the power button for it to come on. I haven't tried taking the keyboard off and hitting the power button.

Have you tried quickboot from the google play store it's free. That is what I use to shut down most of my Andriod devices.
Not sure this will help. Try a soft reset. With the tablet on insert a small wire in the hole near the SD card slot. Worth a shot at least.

Will it turn on into the bootloader? Not sure about the Prime but on my Aria you press the volumn down and power at the same time. There are options there that might help. Be careful and I'm sure the experts here will chime in wether this would help or not.

I tried this too...nothing happens too. No bootloader. However if I press the up button and power the backlight flash awhile then back in to the darkness. Wonder what that is for..
The weird thing is..I did not even explicitly turn off the prime...I always leave it in standby. It turns itself off after awhile of not in use. Anyone face that issue? And then I got to go running for a dock again because I cant turn it back on
Sounds to me like you ran the battery dead and placing it in the dock makes it think it still has battery. If the battery is completely run out it takes about 5-10% charge to get it to turn on. Seems pretty common among all my devices.

Nope...battery for both is full..plugging in just the power direct into the tablet won't work either..it has to be the dock..
How long have you held the power button? I find that if you hold the power button down for an extended period it will turn on.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm on my 3rd Prime. The power button on the 2nd was different where you really had to search for it to turn it on. It worked but it was almost flush with the metal. This one's better but it seems like it's getting harder to turn on as the days go by. I find myself having to press a couple times to get it just right to turn it on.
I have heard several people complain about the power button but I think it was mostly that it was hard to find. You must have one that's not working too. My experience with RMA is give it 7 days once they get it and call every other day for an update. (They'll keep asking for 24-48 hours to get an answer) Keep notes because they are and one more thing, take pictures of how you packed it and the condition of your Prime. You never know when that might come in handy. Good luck.
Need some help over here.
My phone is updated to the newer version of android. It is no rooted, and i have never tried so.
My phone doesn't responde to the power button. (so I can't open it).
I tried to restart while holding the power button + vol down button,
the only responce is a roar from the vibrator.
I can't charge it (the red lamp doesn't light).
Althought I can feel that is reletavilly hot
What should I do?

Try a different plug point.. are you using the original charger ???
This usually happens if you are using a different charger with Incompatible voltage..
Or could be something else also which i am not sure though ...Was just trying to help you..Sorry if i couldnt.. :highfive:
Nope, this not helps.
I am feeling that everyconthing has wiped from the phone.
I do not know why.
The phone is in stock condition.
Any other advice?
This may seem stupid but try to call it from another phone, there is a "small tiny" chance that you hear it ring or beep on the other phone.
The reason I am telling you this is the "vibration" you feel with no display. There might be an issue with your screen. Give it a try.
If it's not rooted then you have your warranty , so call customer service and give your phone in if the problem persists with no solution.
Good luck

Hold down power button for 30 seconds, until lights stop flashing, and phone will reboot. Only power button, no volume buttons
Hello guys, i was wondering if you could help me out with this. I'm in possession of my galaxy s6 edge for about half a year now and it seems like its dead.
It was fully charged in the morning and after leaving it on my desk for 3 hours or so i came back to it noticing that it was turned off. Now i cant turn in on, and when i plug it in (using the original charger) i cant get it to charge either (led is off). I have left my phone charge for over an hour and still not able to start up. Tried different usb cables but it seems like its not a usb contact issue. Tried to boot it holding the volume down + home + power button but also that was without success. The only thing i can think of is that my battery is somehow not making good contact with the phone or some hardware broke down.
Thanks for your time, really much appreciated.

This exact same thing happened to me about a month ago and it turns out the phone was just completely frozen (still on, but no outward sign to give that fact away) - have you tried pwr + vol down for 7 seconds? (not pressing the home key) that worked for me.

Yes I've tried any button combination.. I was left with no other option than to bring it back to where i bought it from.
Brand new s3.
power button doesn't seem to work. Anyone else?
not a known issue, take it back.
You realise you need to hold the POWER button down for a length of time?
Same problem. I haven't installed any apps or anything not either previously installed on another phone or tablet. Button isn't stuck, just totally unresponsive. Guess a trip to best buy is in my future
Add me to the list. My power button stopped working a few days ago.
I thought mine had died until I realised the batter had gone flat but I'm quite sure that's not the issue here.
Yea happened to me too. Maybe some water spilled. If not you have been abusing the power button. Better get a sleep wake cover like a finite and don't let the battery die. Power button issues went away after a few hours. Trick is to keep insisting the tab that power button still works don't give up.
Also press it in centre don't go wayward while pressing.
If you got issue with power button and got warranty get it changed for a replacement device... DO NOT GO FOR REPAIR SAME DEVICE.
Also if you connect charger and remove and connect trick is to learn how it works tab s3 should turn on without power button required. Just make sure you got that fingerprint unlock also keep screen timeout less if u don't have auto sleepwake cover
