Hello I am having a problem with my Samsung S3 that it restarts by itself. This has been going on for i would say 4 days so far when i have my phone on the desk it restarts by itself. When i am on my phone on the internet or doing anything the power button menu pops up all the time and the screen go blacks it’s like i am fighting my phone because the phone thinks i am touching the power button on the side of the phone but i am not. I am thinking about going to replace the power button just the one that you touch not take apart my s3 but I am not sure this would work. What should i do to get my S3 fix?

Welcome to Android Central! It sure sounds like a problem with the power button. It might be stuck in a half-pressed position, and therefore very sensitive to any other pressure. You'd probably have to bring it to a repair shop. If you're really handy, you could try taking the phone apart and fixing it yourself (search YouTube for video guides).
Well the weird thing about it is that when I have my phone plug in the charger it works fine so I am thinking that it might be something with the battery but I am not sure how that can be
