There is a remote possibility of something internally frying.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
Other possibilities... defective battery. Try another battery to see if you can boot normally or into recovery. Or, perhaps battery is too low to boot... have you tried to boot via usb power?
I tried putting my battery in her phone nothing. Her phone is rooted but its stock. She been using her phone since January with no problem. I tried USB charger also. And I also tried using jig but nothing I though maybe the jig was defective but I plug in my phone and it work

Sure it is, they go by the imei number and the purchase date.
Sounds like it could be bricked. Hopefully that's not the case but sounds like it!

When I got the phone 5 days ago the home button was raised a good bit and it felt comfortable. I however noticed that it has since become almost flush with the screen. Is it meant to do this? Do I have a faulty phone and if so should I exchange it? It felt much better raised.

OK my skyrocket vis having a problem I've never seen before. It doesn't fully charge. I'll leave it on the charger over night and it will stay on 20% and never goes past it. I tired different batteries, chargers even those separate battery chargers. I tired different ROMs still no luck. Also tired returning to stock but I get stuck at loop.

How's the battery drain when you unplug? Does it sit at 20% for, well, hours on end, or does it start dropping to 19% within an hour or so?
I'm wondering if it's just your battery meter glitching out, not so much the batteries themselves. Tried wiping the battery stats yet?
I'm thinking the same tj software I say try going back to stock again but this time follow the guide step by step

This. Go to stock, root, then wipe battery stats. Charge the battery to 100% with phone off then leave it for another 30 mins. Turn the phone on and use the Battery Calibration app (rooted) to start the calibration, then use the phone normally and take it all the way down to 0%. Repeat with the other two batteries before switching off of stock. That should go a long way towards solving the problem.

they might not if you don't have insurance, but you never know, if you can prove its a factory defect they may consider an exception
They will next day air you a replacement phone, should fall under the manufacture warranty as already said.
Do you possibly know the proper procedure in doing this??

I would unroot and relock bootloader and reset the flash counter before I send it back. You'll be getting a refurbished one. If it was under 14 days of when you got your phone you can ask them to give you a new phone on the spot in stores.
My wife's verizon galaxy s3 just died. I flashed a theme, it gave me an error, i hit reboot device on twrp and the phone turned itself off and now won't turn on. The phone wont even charge. I can't even get it to the download (odin) screen. What can i do to get it back to life?

It could have fallen victim to the infamous "sudden death" syndrome. If so, it should be replaceable under warranty. Call/visit verizon to find out.

Pretty sure the screen of death syndrome was limited to phones with the exynos processor.... We're not effected.
What theme did you flash?

From what the issue seems to be with these completely dying, why wouldnt they replace it? Its toast so unless they spend all the time and tear it apart to try and fix it, they would just send him a new one, or go into Verizon (if you got it through them) and have them do it

its awfully hard to get help when you dont provide all the information for people who might want to help you...or any information for that matter.
You can JTAG for 65$ I think and yes Verizon would also replace it for you with a refurbished one.

As the title says my phone isn't charging properly. I know it's not the charger itself because my gf uses it also and it works just fine for her. I've bought a new battery and it hasn't made a difference either. My phone this morning after 4 hrs in the charger has only gone up 5% this problem has been going on for weeks now. Im hoping someone here has an idea what's wrong.

Last thing it could be is a hardware issue, either a bad connection or somethings wrong with the charging connection to the battery.
Could also be a bad USB cable, if it's going bad it won't hold a good connection very well.
If you're out of warranty then your best option would be to buy a external battery charger and an extra battery, not ideal, but at least you'll have a way to use your phone.

I know, so it isn't a problem with your battery or charger or USB cable, then it has to be your phone, but it's impossible to know for sure what's wrong. You might be able to fix it by replacing the charging port, or it could be a bad connection from the charging port to the motherboard, or it might be a bad connection from your battery to your charging prongs...
Could be a number of issues. If you're under warranty still then send it in to Samsung, if you're out of warranty then search around and see if you can get it repaired for a reasonable price, swapping batteries will also work for the meantime.
