[Verizon] Blue SGS3 Power Problems - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Blue 32g SGS3 just died this morning. Worked fine since it was first powered up on 6/6. Overnight charges were fine bringing the battery to 100%. Have not rooted it yet. This morning noticed that the screen was dimmed while it was actively being used (then, after a short time, the brightness returned). Set the phone down for a few minutes, returned and now it's completely dead. Won't power up, plugging in the AC power does not show the charging battery display.
Found one post: www modaco com /topic/355514-sprint-sgs3-screen-sometimes-wont-turn-on/ that seems to indicate that this problem is isolated to the blue SGS3's.

I was going to ask the same thing but I'm pretty sure it's s typo.

I'm confused. What would the case color have to do with the circuitry of the phone. Just because this has only been reported on blue phones does NOT mean the problem is related to the phone being blue.

there was/is s known issue with the blue production line, so color is relevant to this thread.

The only issue I've heard of was with the color shade. Please provide a reference that blue phones had circuitry issues.

Blue 32G Power Problems
Sorry 'bout the typo in my first post. Received the phone 7/6.
Took the phone to the VZ store. Tech there was unable to get the device to power on. Tried all of the usual options (ie. replacing the battery). Had the tech call VZ level 2 which was pretty much a waste of time. Level 2 tech said that I couldn't RMA the device because it was still in pre-order status which was after she said that if the phone was RMA'ed I would end up at the end of the pre-order queue. There was no possible way to get a new phone overnighted to me. Was told that the easiest solution would be to go to a VZ store on Wednesday (launch day) and RMA the phone then.
I mentioned that the Blue phones seem to have problems and asked about changing the color to white on Wednesday. Was told that there would be a restocking fee as the blue and white phones have different sku's. Obviously wasn't too happy, but will fight that battle with VZ on Wednesday.
At the end of the visit, the VZ tech reactivated my old Droid I.

Ok. I see the link. Not sure how valid it is but at least there's something there...
Thanks!

Mine has had problems since I turned the thing on. The screen turns purple with lines through it then it dies and I have to pull the battery to get it back on. Just waiting til it releases in stores to do an exchange.

[Q] green screen!

Turned off my tf last night to charge. Turned her back on now and the boot screen is neon green and so is everything else. Anyone have this problem before?
either overheated cpu/gpu pover off for a couple hours then turn it back on
or digitizer cable is loose either open it yourself or rma
i just took some screen shots and opened them on my computer. The colors are normal. Ill try the power off for a few hours and see what happens. Any other suggestions?
ok if the screen shots are normal that probobly means something is wrong with teh screen its self as like i said before loose digitizer cable
My TF was turned off all day today and is still giving me the green screen. Here are some pictures of what I'm still dealing with.

I actually had the same problem and I jsut turned it off for a couple of hours and it went back to normal
Yeppers... me too.
I noticed some green digitized flickering yesterday when I was moving/angling the tablet while docked. When I opened it, the green digitized color would flash and then go away. I undocked the tablet, powered off and restarted.
The green color was still present and it seemed to go and come as I pressed into the screen. It was almost like the screen was loose a bit from the casing. I did a hard reboot followed by a factory reset. Still the screen was flickering with the green digitized. I found that once I ran my thumb around the edges ensuring that it was tightly fit inside the casing that the screen went back to normal.
I never lost any function or touch sensitivity but am certain that my screen was loosening up abit from the casing. I mailed it off with RMA ticket today. I hope they will fix my tablet and return it soon or replace it.
Tablet has never been dropped, but I do dock & undock often. Furthermore I've found that while docked the tablet wont open much beyond 90 degrees. I'm wondering if me constantly opening it up to it's maximum angle while docked weakened or stressed the casing and loosened the screen. Not sure.
I could not find a bunch of these issues with the TF101 so I'm hoping this is not symptomatic of this model with heavy dock/undock use.
What's the normal turnaround time on these RMAs? Any ideas?
I had sort of simular problem with my transformer. After charging my screen was green and pink.
They will fix at rma because it is backlight leaking. Thats what my report said.
The service wen i sended it was fast. Send on tuesday and 7 days later the allready mailed it back with a new screen.
Mine, definitely had some light bleed around at least 3 sides, but it wasn't distracting so I just ignored it. Hope to get it back soon and without any further issues.

Wait, I can send it in for light bleed?
On a black screen I can see bright spots in the edges, apparently where the backlight is.. I figured it was normal.
Also I have 8 or 10 stuck-on-white pixels. You can't find them unless you have a Black screen. Can I RMA it?
I just got back my son's Transformer from repair after his screen did the same thing only his was red.
Called in to get RMA but was told to do a factory reset first. That, of course, did nothing so back it went. Seems to be fine now but it has only been back a day.
You should have no problem getting it approved for RMA.

Energizer Inductive Charger In Use

I just got my Energizer inductive charger today, and it works GREAT!
The charger, however, is a dust magnet, and the phone gets pretty hot while charging.
I'm using a diztronic TPU case on my phone, and the inductive charger manages to work with the case on.
One thing that doesn't seem to work is charging the phone while the phone is powered off.
Also ordered an Oregon Scientific Clock + charger, will report the results when I receive it tomorrow.

haven't calculated it yet but i heard it takes twice as long to charge compared to normal usb charging.
Would you mind taking the case off to see if the phone stays or slides off. I see that slant, and it takes less than that for the phone to move
I've been using the Energizer Qi charger for over a week now and it works great. I have a bumper case on it so sliding is not an issue. I put it on the charger when I go to bed and in the morning the blue light is off meaning it is charged. Make sure you turn off 'DayDream' mode in display settings since this keeps the screen on during charging and causes really slow charging and heats up the phone. So far I haven't been having any heat related issues using the Energizer charger. I also ordered the Panasonic TM101 which hopefully will be here from Japan in the coming weeks.

I had this charger for a few days when I first got my N4. For those worried about the phone sliding, here's what I did... Went to the auto parts store and picked up one of those sticky dashboard pads and cut it to fit. Worked perfectly. I've since purchased the LG WCP-700 charger and use the same sticky pad on it.

I've had two of these chargers for a few weeks. Just today, I noticed a very faint clicking noise coming from the charger when nothing is charging. I've never noticed this before. I'm not home at the moment to check my other charger to see if it also makes the clicking noise, but I'm pretty sure this just started. It still appears to be working fine, but the clicking can get a little annoying. Can anyone else hear it if? Try putting your ear up to it. It has a certain repetitive pattern to it too.

Nope, doesn't have dual alarms, only has one alarm. I'm not really liking the clock, it seems pretty small and the instructions are kind of vague.

Thanks. Maybe it's normal and I just noticed it today for some reason. I'll check out my other one tonight to see if it also makes the clicking noises.
EDIT: Yup, just checked my other charger. It also constantly does the clicking.

Motorola Pack Pack Micro

I just received mine in the mail yesterday. Cool a$$ little device. It charges, functions as a trusted BT device, finds my phone, my phone finds it. Moto Connect reads the remaining battery.
I was concerned that it would be too big for my keys, which is not the case. I'm very happy with it. AMA about it.

How long does the battery last if you don't charge your phone with it? Assuming it didn't die already how much percent do you find it drops per day just based off the bluetooth?

I've had one of these a few weeks now (2 actually, but haven't opened the second one up).
The battery drain is less than 1% per day. Since receiving mine and fully charging it, I hadn't charged it at all for at least two weeks and the juice was just down to 90% with the BT turned on.
Unlike the first poster, I find the thing just a hair too large to put on my key chain, but I also have my car's electronic key and another BT tether device on my keychain (no actual keys, though!). I just put my PP in my back pocket (work slacks, not jeans).
I bought two of them. Both of them arrived with the colored cover starting to peel off. Anyone else having this issue?

I ask because mine got here in the same condition. I live in Miami, very hot and humid climate and I wonder if it has to do with that. Call them, they will replace it for you.
Mine have no issues. Turquoise and yellow. Yellow is still in the package but the turquoise one rides on my key chain and after several weeks seems to be holding up fine.

Hi guys. Just a quick question how long does it take for a full charge from the micro to the moto x?

First, it will not charge the device fully. The Power Pack's capacity is 1500mAh, while the Moto X 2014's capacity is 2300mAh. So you're looking at getting about 65% of your battery back at optimal performance, minus some due to technical inefficiencies, and some more due to other limitations.
Second, it charges at 1A. The Moto's charger is 1150mA (1.15A), so it charges the phone slightly slower than the stock charger.
Hope this helps! I personally don't see the value in $40 for such a device, but if I lost my keys and/or phone more often it'd totally be worth it.
Yeah I regret buying it. Every time I use it it only change like maybe 30%+ from a full micro

[POLL]Power Pack Micro, Is Your Plastic Peeling Off?

Lines across screen nothing else

So I recently was on stock 4.4.2. Sometimes my screen would freeze, lines would go across the screen vertically & horizontally but I could still see some of the screen I was on. I would simply Hold Pwr VolUp VolDown and reboot and screen proceeded to work. Then i decided to goto Android L. I already had the 4.4.4 firmware but updated to the 5.0 firmware. I then installed the liquid smooth rom. This kept happening and eventually got scared and went back to the backup I had made of stock rom. Then I went to CM12. I liked it alot almost no bugs. But this kept happening. I later began to experience something different. Only vertical lines. Each time they are different. I once waited for it to boot and messed with the volume rockers and heard it go down and then vibrate. So im guessing system still works. I dont know where to go from here. Heres a pic of what Im getting when I try to startup.

Sometimes it is a bit of blue on the side. I know my screen isnt fully dead because sometimes when it starts to decrease in brightness after I booted I touch it and brightness goes back up for a little. Also when I turn it off its black and when I turn it on its the vertical lines. They arent the same each time and sometimes when I boot they become just 4 or 5 fat vertical bars. I am S-off & rooted. I have ADB and fastboot but I never had plugged it into my computer on this rom so i never had time to allow it, but I did turn on usb debugging. I once made it to hbot, the top was a white color and I hit power, then VolDown three or two times and power again and it looked like it rebooted. I bought it from Amazon and their customer support is great. Anyway to get a new one without them knowing I messed with it? Did installing the custom rom trip anything? Last time I was in hboot it was Official and Unlocked. I didnt but it unlocked, it happened when I used firewater. Also if I smash my screen and sent it to HTC(Ive had it for only like ~40 days)would they go digging and find I had a custom rom and flip out on me? All help is appreciated. Also as stated above I believe I never tripped the tampered flag and do have a working nandroid backup. Thanks for your help
Just booted it again it was the lines again but it was red then went to black borders and some distinct purple lines
That happened to me on my LG G2 but thank god it was under warranty. My replacement was the M8 I'm using now and I haven't a problem yet..fingers crossed.
What happened with my G2 is it started to get really warm then the screen went bright bright white. Rebooted and I had permanent white vertical lines on my screen. After a couple days the few white lines became my whole screen.
I was also running a custom ROM when this happened so I'm not sure if it was something in the ROM that got it going or if it was the device itself. But our phones are different makers and brands with different ROMs.
Mine never recovered so thank god for the warranty. Wish you luck

Honestly I doubt it. If the screen is shot there's really no way for them to even see it unless they want to be bothered to hook it up to adb. I had to take mine back in person to BestBuy...unlocked and everything...they saw the screen, tried a couple reboots and a battery pull (like I didn't lol), then checked for water and external damages but there were none so now I own an M8

[Q] Nexus 5 Randomly Exploded

My Nexus 5 had been acting completely normally, I've had it for a bit over a year without any issues. One second I was messaging a friend, then I put it to sleep, a few minutes later I picked it up and the screen had completely freaked out.

It is almost entirely unresponsive. I've tried turning it off and then back on, but it just reboots to this screen. Sometimes I can get it to go to the unlock screen, but it isn't responsive when I'm there, and eventually that screen just fades away into a blank gray (with this multicolored bar at the top remaining). Occasionally it will say "Optimizing apps", but then nothing happens after that.
Has anyone seen anything like this, know what caused it, or know how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As of now I've taken out the sim card, and am going to wait until it runs out of battery to see if I can recharge it and reboot normally.
I'm a tad confused, in the picture I see one busted ass n5 lol but you say it boots up? When did you take that picture? It looks like the screen is done in.

Same
so, here's a quick rundown.
have had mine since nov '13.
always in great condition.
not a scratch.
then, out of nowhere (2 weeks ago) after trying to turn the screen back on from standby...nothing.
it automagically rebooted.
oooooook.
no biggie.
after reboot all was well.
for an hour.
then, turned right off in the middle of whatever i was doing.
just...poof. black screen.
wouldn't reboot.
plugged it in over night.
turned on the next day perfectly fine.
after a few minutes...blank screen.
HOWEVER, the led would throb.
then, at some point, the phone rang.
i could answer it with my headphones.
deactivated the phone from my account.
charged it over night.
vol+power and all manner of combos.
the one consistent thing that always happened was that my phone vibrated, followed by a similar colored pixelation as seen above.
sometimes just a line, other times the entire screen.
didn't take much to realise it was the panel combo.
outside of warranty.
so, sent it to lg. they agreed...panel issue. loose connection or bad connection, i'm assuming.
currently being repaired.
being shipped back by the end of this coming week, i hope.
* since my hunch was that it was just a panel issue...i was going to drop it off at one of many "the device shop" repair places (and, their ilk) where i live. however, after walking into a few of them...it's obvious that 90% of their business comes from iphones. they, barely knew what panel replacement they were looking for. they said they had one a few times only to have it turn out to be a nex 4, or some other panel, each time. they just seemed...well, let's just say i'm positive they can repair an iphone panel. anything more than that...i'd rather give it to my 12 yo cousin. same result. felt better sending it to LG.
And you posted that here?? Why
