    Total loss - phone bricked itself???

    Total loss - phone bricked itself???

    I actually found a way to boot into recovery, Philz touch 6. It wasn't easy. I held down the 3 buttons while sliding the battery into the back. Once booted into Philz touch 6, I saw the battery level was reporting 3% in the corner. I then plugged in the power cord and it appears to be...

    Total loss - phone bricked itself???

    My GS3 was plugged in all night, I checked my email on it this morning while still plugged in. The next time I picked it up it was dead. If I remove the battery and hold power to reset it, if I reinsert the batter the samsung logo comes up for a second or two, then it goes dead again. A...

    Touchscreen doesn't work when charging

    Here is a link to a similar one I mentioned above. I'm not sure of the exact brand, but I can confirm that it actually does work, although the cord is a bit short. I have to unplug it if I'm going to be using it as a phone while sitting in the car (as a passenger of course). Retractable-Cord...

    Touchscreen doesn't work when charging

    I too had this problem with a cheapo charger that was purchased at walmart. The bottom part of the screen was totally unresponsive, so I couldn't even unlock my phone. Then I picked up another cheapo off the shelf at target that had a retractable cord. This one works just fine. I'd post a...
