Sleep with Blue Light Flashing - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I've had my SGS3 for a few weeks now and love it. But, this issue has happened 3 times now. When I wake up in the morning, the blue LED notification light is flashing, and when tapping the power button or even the home button the screen doesn't turn on. I have had to pull the battery and reset the phone. I'm not sure what causes, but was wondering if anyone else has had this issue or is this something like the "sudden death" people have mentioned? I didn't have it plugged in last night and it happened again (3rd time). The previous time I did have it plugged in.
Just wondering what you guys think,
Thanks.

What ROM are you running?

I'm on stock and I've never had this happen. My blue notification light is flashing pretty much every morning. I charge my phone overnight...when I pull the plug in the morning the screen turns on....always.

Check facebook notifications. Blue is default for facebook.

I had that last week, I think it's the new push notifications update from Samsung that probably linked to Facebook. I just disabled the push app and it stopped happening.

Blue is default for text and emails and missed calls..etc.. and when i reboot the phone there's no notification for facebook though... I'll turn it off though and see.

Did u flash a different kernel? That happens to me on AOSP a lit if I lower my voltage too much.

[Q] Samsung Nexus S will not turn on

Okay so I got my Nexus S in December of 2011. It's worked just perfect, it's a real peach but yesterday I was trying to use it normally and it froze. Then it shut off. So I left it a few minutes and turned it on again. It starts up with the black screen with white letters that say "Google" and it never loads more so I wait with it for s few, then pull the battery and try again many, many times. Same result.
I really hope someone knows how to fix this without wiping the phone. Please Help!

can you press power button and volume up at the same time and see if it will get you into the bootloader and report back

Notification light doesn't blink after rooting

So I took the plunge and rooted, flashed beans ROM. Loving it so far.
My only issue is that my notification light doesn't blink it now stays on constantly.
I've kept my setting the same bit cannot get this corrected.
Has anyone else had this issue?? If so how'd you fix it.

The notification light is supposed to blink? I didn't stay on stock long enough to notice.
Rooted stock rom here and led notification works fine.

Lol, its supposed to blink. I'd like to hear from someone running another rom to see if it is happening to them as well.

I too am just stock rooted using noxious ninjas method and since seeing this thread i've only had a facebook notification and that is just a solid red, not blinking but i'm not sure about other notifications since I haven't had any yet.... But before I rooted, I could've sworn a FB notification showed up as a kind of purple light and now its just red!?
[Edit] I just sent an email to myself to test the notification and it does blink blue, so it is working and per the comment below, FB wouldn't make it blink anyways.
3rd party apps don't blink the light. Stock apps do.
That stinks that 3rd party apps dont blink. Is that something that can be addressed in future builds??
Any other workaround or mod??

I agree, super annoying. Wish my led would blink for sms and mms, instead of just staying on.

How to disable audible alarm when charged to 100%? Alarm keeps waking me up.

My Photon hit 100% charge at 4am and the audible alarm went off and woke me up. Couldn't go back to sleep. Ruined my day.
Can someone PLEASE post how to disable the alarm for when it hits 100% charged?
I would greatly appreciate it. I've been through all the settings and menus multiple times and I cannot find it.
Thanks in advance.
There is the same topic a page back it seems using the usb cable that comes with the charger works. I use it and my phone doesn't do the fully charged sound until i pick it up and turn the screen on in the morning. Then it gives the full charge sound and the toast message

The thread didn't come up when I searched.
You could have just posted the link like I have below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049342
That may be what YOUR phone is doing. But, MY phone is sounding an audible alarm when fully charged. It is brand new and out of the box from sprint. I cannot disable it.
Sorry was to lazy and posting from the work. And sounds like your problem is the same problem. And you didnt say if you were using the stock charger and usb cable?

best thing i do is use smart actions and set it to silent at night. you can program who you want to ring through silent mode incase you need to get that late night call. while killing the rest of the sounds.
I would have to say the same as Gxkon

That post may have actually solved your problem... The *normal* operation of the phone is to stay silent when fully charged, and when you turn on the screen while it's still plugged in it will sound a notification and tell you it's fully charged. When *your* phone is plugged in and charging, are you leaving the screen on? It may be that when the screen stays on, it will not delay the notification, so it sounds in the middle of the night. If you are not leaving the screen on, have you installed anything? There's probably something else triggering that charged notification.
There are others claiming the same (or similar) problem as you in the linked thread (screen turns on by itself along with the notification sound at 100% charge), though my phone does not do that and I am not using the OEM charger cable). I don't know of any settings to enable/disable that feature.
Back when I had my Samsung transform there were mods to remove the sound/notification. I just purchased this phone and I should be getting it sometime next week. I'll take a look at this when I get it I'm planning on cooking up a custom rom for this phone and this is a good idea for a mod to add to it.

Skyrocket NOT shutting off

I seem to have a strange problem. My Skyrocket does not want to stay off. I power down the phone, and it comes back up on its own immediately. I've tried this with and without charger connected. I had this problem on Embryo 5.4, and now also on 6.1. Right now, my only option when I need the phone to stay off (like when traveling by air, which I do often) is to take the battery out. The second I put the battery back in, the phone boots up.
Could anyone help me out here?
I tried searching the forum for similar issues, but could not find any. But in case I've missed a thread, feel free to start the flaming .
Thanks in advance for any help.
Sounds like a sticky power button

I have this problem too.
I believe it happens to me when my battery is full or mostly full. Does it happen to your phone when the batter is low?
Stuck power button. It's a known issue on the skyrocket. There are a number of threads on how to clean it. Search stuck power button on the i727.

Nope.. would happen at any battery level! Turned out to be a sticky button issue after all... just tapped it a few times & (touch-wood) problem solved!:victory:
I have the same problem. I tried cleaning the button, a new battery, flashed different ROMs and recoveries but I still have the problem.

if the power button wont shut off the phone then its a dead button not a stuck power button, just get an app that would do a shutdown/restart/recovery function

try cleaning the charger port also. Turned out I had something there too that was shorting the leads and once I cleaned that out thoroughly, I had no more problems till now.
Thanx, I'll try that.

Serious crashes every few minutes

Hey guys I have been having a pretty serious issue the last couple of days. Was running a CM 10 teamchopsticks nightly from a few weeks ago, which worked perfectly up until three days ago. Then it started crashing randomly, the screen would go black and it would vibrate every few seconds, a battery pull would fix it. I updated the phone to the latest nightly, and now I can't run the phone for 5 minutes without the same type of crash. When I battery pulled and tried to turn on the phone, it would immediately crash about 4/5 of the time. This bug is rendering my phone unusable. Not sure whether this is a Rom issue or something else, thanks in advance.
Not sure what kernel I am running.
Hearing it may be a hardware issue, anyone agree?
Could be, try to odin stock jb or ics. If you still have the problem then it's probably hardware. Unfortunately the rocket is getting old. I'm having some old age problems with mine too. Mostly stuck power button.

I don't Think you have it. Take your battery out and then put it back in. If it boots at that point then that's a sign that you probably do. Or if you try to try to power off you phone but it reboots then that's another sign

Could be a stick power button then, that's almost a sure sign. Mine is intermittent. Some times it's ok, others not not.
