Today I was on my Vine app, lately my vine app will freeze then unfreeze. I didn't think anything of it, but today it froze then shut off. My phone was at 87% at the time. My phone is now on the charger and will not come on. Please I need your help I use my phone for everything and I can not afford for it to be messed up.
Samsung Galaxy S3 will not turn on

Make sure you hold the power button down until you feel a short vibrate. If that doesn't work, try pulling the battery for a few minutes, then reinsert it and try again.
Hello. My S3 showed the android logo and underneath was "Downloading" in white lettering and "Do not disconnect from target" in green. My battery was low when this happened. It was 1%,i switched it off then the stuff came up few minutes later. After the screen went off, whenever i tried charging it, it will keep bringing up the "charging" image, go off few seconds after, come back on again as if i'm plugging in and unplugging the charger. To make matters worse, it won't come on. The only time it came on, it got stuck at the samsung logo, went blank and resumed it's charging problem.
The charger works fine, i've tested it. Though i recently upgraded the OS, officially through the phone's upgrade option. Any ideas please?

If the battery is totally discharged, the phone won't stay on even if plugged into a charger. The phone always runs off the battery, even when charging, so leave it charging for an hour or so and then try to turn it on. If it still won't come on, you have a problem. If you still have a problem:
So what did you do before the phone was in download mode? This shouldn't happen all by itself. Did it happen right after the upgrade?
Did you root, or try to root, your phone?
Download mode is normally entered by pressing the volume DOWN, home and power buttons at the same time. Did you do this?
Let us know what happens after you charge the battery for a while.

Aileen,
Which "it" are you referring to? There have been a ton of suggestions in this thread.
And exactly what problem is your phone having?
When did the problem start, and what did you do just before the problem started?

I have a s1 captivate.. For the past couple days, my phone has been telling me that my storage is low and it will slow down my phone.. So i had to keep stopping programs from running. And then yesterday i decided to reboot my phone. Ive had my phone rooted. But when my phone turned back on, it was freeze after the att logo.. And this other logo would just keep on replaying itself also like its on freeze mode. I have done what you said about the power button, home key and volume key. And i also cleared out my data cache.. And also clicked on the backup and restore button. And when i click on the button for the phone to restart, it still does the same thing. At this moment i really dont know what to do. Please help!!!

marnie, you're going to have to give us something to go on. What "up" button are you referring to? Describe exactly what you're trying to do.
What "O thing" are you referring to?

It sounds like she's saying that she can't get into Recovery mode (the Volume Up key) but can get into Download mode (the Volume Down key). If that's the case, things are really jacked up and she'll need to reload the correct ROM through Odin (the "O" the thing?) or Kies.

Curious... is it possible to reinstall the operating system through Kies? I thought most could be done was updates... but I haven't really used it.

I haven't done it myself (it's on my list of things to try) but I've read that you can use the Kies software on your PC to completely reload the firmware for your phone. I'm not sure if you get the carrier-specific ROM (with all of the associated carrier bloatware) or just the Samsung ROM for that phone.
Sorry I can't be more helpful there - I just haven't tried it, but I plan to soon.

What version of the S3 do you have (international, AT&T, etc)? Exactly what ROM were you trying to install (Post a link).
I downloaded an AT&T provided update a couple of days ago on my S3 of 10 months.
It worked fine for 2 days.
Today, the power drained completely because my phone was on. After plugging it using the OEM charger/USB, the phone still did not charge.
I changed the charger to use the computer USB port to charge it up. Even after 2 hours, the phone does not charge.
I pressed the VolumeUp, Home, Power button at which point I got the andriod symbol and downloading option.
After a while, this disappeared.
Now, it is not charging, nor rebooting.
When I press the Power button for a few seconds, I can sense the Haptic vibration come on, however the samsung logo does NOT come.
Is my phone dead and time to log a warranty claim?
How does that work? DO I call the 800#, or do I take it to a nearby AT&T store for a warranty fix?

Have you tried removing the battery for a couple of minutes and then reinserting it?
What about a different charger AND different cable? What happens if you wiggle the connector while the cable is plugged in?
You could go into an AT&T store just to see what happens with a different battery, but it sounds like you're just having a charging issue, so you should exhaust those possibilities before taking the next step.
