Ok this is kinda silly, but it happened.
I was charging my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT something (UK version) via the chargeable USB port on my Samsung n150 notepad with the laptop switched off. During this time I was playing N.O.V.A 3 on my Galaxy S3.
As I was playing I switched the laptop on. As the phone was already charging via the USB I didnt think there would be a probably. But when Windows booted to my log in screen, the phone froze and switched off. Now my Galaxy will not switch on. I can only get it to charge and thats all.
Please help!!

Wait so you have the international version? Shouldn't you post this in that forum? This is Verizon.

Agreed and that is strange how that worked op. Never heard of anything like that. Tried a battery pull I assume?

Need more info first. Can you get into DL mode? Recovery? The only thing I could think of would be a power surge when you turned the laptop on caused the phone to fail (highly unliklely).
While browsing through our list of threads reported as 'Newsworthy' for the XDA Portal, I just came across this one. I wonder whose big idea was to report it as newsworthy. Whoever that was needs a healthy dose of common sense.
PS: Mods, can you please move it to the appropriate forum i.e. the one for the international version?
Happened to a Verizon GS3
My Verizon GS3 was turned completely unresponsive (absolutely dead), with no boot of any sort after I unplugged and then plugged in a USB DAC (Fiio E7). I had been using the E7 for several days but today connecting it to the GS3 through USB To Go killed it.
I have read other instances of the same phenomenon.

I recently got a microusb to usb female cable and was playing around with it on my s3. I wanted to see if the s3 could power a laptop cooling fan (Im a curious guy) and plugged in the usb cooling pad. The pad worked to my surprise but it suddenly shut off. I look at the s3 and the s3 is off too. I try turning it back on but that didnt work. I try taking the battery out and then turning it on but that didnt work. I plugged it into a charger and tried turning it on but that didnt work either. I even tried booting it into download mode and that didnt work. It would be really nice if someone could help me because im freaking the ****s out right now. Thanks
When you put it in the charger, did you give it at least 5 minutes to get a charge? Put it back in the charger and wait a little bit.
I just plugged it in for a few minutes and the phones just seems to get hot and still refuses to turn on
I wonder if the cooling fan tried taking too much power from the S3...
You may have fried the S3 battery or something.
Just a guess

Do you know someone else with an S3 that you could borrow a battery from? I would also think you may have damaged the battery and that would be the quickest way to test for that.
Are you getting any kind of vibration feedback when trying to power it on? I had a similar issue when I used an under powered usb charger. It drained it to the point it wouldnt even boot up and got hot. however, I did have to let charge normally for quite a while. good luck
Pull the battery then put it back in. Ley it charge for an hour. Then try going into recovery. Mine wouldn't turn on one day ( I wasn't doing any experimental stuff though) but that's what fort me running. Once I was on recovery I just selected reboot system and it fired right up.

I tried using a different battery. Still didnt work
I got verizon to send me a replacement device but would they figure out the device is rooted? The phone is completely dead and does not turn on even with a different battery. Anyone ever send in a rooted device to verizon?

I have tried almost every troubleshooting method including trying a different battery and that did not work either. My phone is rotoed with CM10 on it and I need to send it back to verizon once I get my replacement. Is there a way to reset the internal sd card even when the phone wont turn on? Will verizon even find out if the phone is rooted if it wont turn on? Has anyone ever sent in a rooted phone to verizon once they got a replacement and been ok? Your help, thoughts, and any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. (As calm as I may sound i am freaking the crap out right now).
My first tip is to stop posting the same question. It's been answered in your previous threads. Just like droidstyle said they won't know if it's rooted unless you tell them. As far add testing the internal memory, there is no way since it won't turn on.

I got a little intoxicated last night and was just using my tablet like usual when it suddenly stopped charging! lets start off by saying im rooted to version 4.1.1, kernel 3.0.31-471788 and its saying I'm a GT-P3100 but i got it as a gift, REFURBISHED as GT-P3113 (which probbably means the warranty is most likely void). Now here are the things I've tried...
- Resetting (still not even a signal of charging light)
- Power off (still nothing)
- Blowing the ports of the charger, the tablet, and the ends of the adapter like an N64 cartridge. (still nothing)
At this point i was convinced it was the charger when, as intoxicated as i was, i tried plugging my PHONE USB to the adapter and It worked perfectly fine for my phone. I'm stumped.
You guys are like android gods.. Help me out please!
P.s. theres a little juice in it and I wont kill the battery until I get a response cause im that much of a noob.. thanks guys
Your on the wrong forum. This is for 7.7, not GT 2 7.0
Please ask the forum mod to close and possibly have admin move to correct forum.

Hi dear xda users
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F model and facing a very frustrating issue. The problem began a couple of months ago, when I woke up, the fast charging ability and any USB connection with computer was gone.
The steps that I've tried
1) I have tried it with multiple computers, multiple USB ports and ORIGINAL 2.0A fast wall chargers, can't recognize it,can't fast charge.
2) I have installed ADB drivers and all Samsung drivers, still not recognized,still can't fast charge.
3) I've tried to revert it to stock with stock firmware, stock bootloader and modem, even in Fastboot Download mode, still not recognized.
4) Last thing, I thought it might be the charging port (flex) is broken and I've had it changed with the same new charging flex in front of my eyes with a technician and still can't get it recognized or fast charged.
5) I have changed the settings and tried almost all combinations from the dialer menu *#8800#, still can't!
The device did not contact any water at all and I am beginning to think that motherboard is corrupt somehow.
Another bad news is Samsung Turkey Official Service Centers are denying to repair the devices that you bought from any other country (SHAME ON YOU SAMSUNG!)
They basically won't replace or repair anything with in my phone! (still, it is the same model that they sell in Turkey)
Have anyone faced the similar issues with me?
Only thing I know of is if you have USB debugging on, it prevents some USB functionality until turned off. But if you flashed stock, USB debugging should have reverted to stock.
And yes Samsung warranty doesn't cover grey imports, you have to buy locally.

I've tried almost all possibilities and no, you got me wrong, I am not asking for a warranty covered service, even I say that I am going to pay for it, they won't do it.

Sounds like you've ruled out just about everything apart from the phones USB charging port itself, replace the charging port

You mention charging port "Flex", I assumed by that wording you meant some cable from the port
Well only thing left is the battery and main motherboard really
happened to my old s7 edge and i did all you have done too but no luck. it is some software bug i read soemwhere which only samsung can fix via ota cause our phone cant get detected by pc to flash rom. so all eforts in vain , and i sold the phone in the end. also mine used to get charged in 5-6 hours cause it detecs every cable as usb cable.

Thank you for this solution, after I've flashed Notorious Kernel, mine shows 3 hours too! Still can't understand why...

Why? Because you have rooted your phone.

Almost everyone in this forum has a rooted phone, yet this is an issue few have experienced. Rooting might be the first step they took to breaking something, but rooting alone couldn't be the cause otherwise you'd see way more of this.
Keep it on track guys!!!!!
How are we gonna fix this! I'm scared if my phone dies and I can't connect it to a pc..
Hello, i recently turned on my galaxy s7 to find something very strange. It turns on when i plug it in but strait away shows the samsung galaxy s7 logo. Then, it suddenly shows the installing update screen for about 3 seconds the reboots, and then it does the same thing. I tried to get into recover mode but it says somethung about android files missing. I have never flashed or tampered with the phone, what is happening? Why does my windows 10 pc say "USB device malfunctioned"? Please help

Your battery is probably dying. Phones do weird things when it happens.

But it just so happens that I Had last used the phone about 4 months ago when it was perfectly fine.

in other words, you didn't use the phone for 4 months, meaning the battery likely would've been completely flattened.
it's worth leaving it switched off and charging for a long time, overnight at least. use the official charger and charging cable too if you can. then see what it does.
Hi, is phone recognized when in Download mode ?
