Re: My Samsung galaxy S3 won't turn on

The recovery boot procedure of holding the 3 buttons down simultaneously worked like a charm. THANKS!

Re: My Samsung galaxy S3 won't turn on

Hi,
Before my S3 would turn off because the power button was sensitive, but I resolved that problem by downloading the easy touch app. I haven't had a problem with my s3 till today. All of a sudden the phone turned off and my power button didn't turn my phone back on. I then plugged in my phone but the charging sign wont show up. I unplugged it and took out my battery and put it back in and the Samsung symbol popped up for 5 seconds and turned back off. Irritated, I took my battery out and charged my phone, the red LED light showed up for about 3 seconds and went away. HELP,Idk what to do.

Assuming that you meant you left the battery out and connected the charger, it's normal for the red light to go off after a couple of seconds.

What model is your phone? If it's the International version then it may still be under warranty.

Otherwise you could look for a de-brick image and try that.

What is a de- brick image?

What is a de-brick image?

It's a bootable SD card image that may work when all other options have failed.

Otherwise it's time for JTAG (ex. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/)

My Samsung just switched off and i cant get it to turn back on even if the charger is in there is no light. How can i get it to turn back on?

I am very disappointed since the Android update my phone cannot hold a charge and now it's completely dead! I went to the Verizon store and they've had nothing but complaints with this phone and they're sending me a new one that hopefully works. In the meantime, I have a POS phone to deal with! I don't know if my charger is any good either as I seen some have issues with that as well.

Holding the 3 buttons down simultaneously is what worked. Thank you.

Would this erase all my data, i.e pictures...thanks!

Would this erase all my data

What "this" are you referring to?
- wipe system cache in Recovery mode = no
- Factory Reset in Recovery mode
-- if your pictures are on the internal memory = yes
-- if your pictures are on an SD card = no
- reload firmware in Download mode = maybe

My samsung S3 won't turn on after i upgraded it a few days ago. It is like after the android green logo came out finished downloading for 100% and it should be rebooting but it blacked out and nothing happen to my phone. I can't turn it on anymore. It keep showing the battery logo which shown is loading. I thought is low battery but is not due to I charged it for the whole night and even the charging red light sign didn't light up too. What should i do ?

It keep showing the battery logo which shown is loading.

It should only be showing the battery graphic if you have the charger connected and the phone is completely off.

Have you tried removing the battery for a few minutes?

You might also try removing the SIM card, the SD card (if present) and the battery, and only reinsert the battery.

Take the battery out for a couple of minutes, put it back and (without turning the phone back on) plug it in to a charger. After a couple of moments you should see the battery graphic, showing the battery charging. Let it charge (regardless of the battery level that it shows) for an hour or so, then try turning it on again and see what happens.

My Samsung gs3 resets itself after receiving text messages and doesnt turn back on for hours.

That's not much information to go on:
- when did the problem start?
- have you tried shutting down and removing the battery for ten minutes or so?
- have you tried clearing the system cache in Recovery mode?
- have you tried a Factory Reset?

ATTENTION I THINK I CAN HELP WITH ALL YOUR PROBLEMS

I know this might sound crazy but use a different charger for your phone and leave it plugged in for a couple hours without messing with it. I reviewed all you of guys' post and it was driving me insane trying to resolve the issue with my Samsung Galaxy 3. CHARGE YOUR PHONE. Try this and it may actually work, it is helping mine.

You cracked the screen?
Or the phone is physically broken in half?
If the latter, you don't get the pictures back.
