I have the 3g version, P6800, and suddenly the tablet has lost the ability to connect to the internet. I was using the tab to read a blog a couple of hours ago and I've tried to use it again and nothing.
Posts won't load and YouTube app says no connection. Got home and connected to the WiFi and the same problem persists! My phone and my other tablet connect to the WiFi and connect to the internet no problem, so the problem less with the 7.7.
So I've cleared the cache and dalvik cache and still no connection! I'm going to try a fool data wipe next unless someone has any ideas?
Thanks for any help

Using the JB ROM with Skyhigh kernel.
Well I formatted the tab via CWM and then it it was stuck in a boot loop. Then I used Odin to install the ROM from scratch and well, it kept boot looping.
Got it into recovery to install CM10, but it wasn't CWM just standard recovery. And then it wouldn't let me go into download mode because of low battery, and when I plugged it into the mains it came up with the charging icon and then say it was at 100℅ battery. A couple unplugs from the mains and reconnecting showed nothing different.
After a couple of times it began the sequence of showing how much battery it has before it charges with it flashing on and off before it died.
Now there is no response from the device. I've left it charging all night and this morning I held the power button for 20 seconds and it made no difference. The tab stayed dead.
What am I to do now?

I would start by holding the power button and the up arrow key to get it into CWM to restore your backup. Another option is to can get it to boot in the download mode and in either case i would hold the buttons longer than 20 seconds. After you get it to boot you may have to install the original software and start again. Good luck and I hope these suggestions help.:fingers-crossed:
Try a different AC charger with at least 2A capacity and leave it charging.

Hmm, i would try to get into recovery/download mode if i could but nothing happens. Held the power button for 1 minute and if it hasnt worked by then, any more time is not going to make a difference.

im running a miui build from abt 2 weeks ago, idk how relevant that is... BUT i let my phone discharge completely til it died. now when its on the charger, it boots to the miui screen, sometimes even the lockscreen, then craps out. i get that the battery is too low to hold a charge, but wat can i do? i tried charging in download mode, but it eventually reboots. custom roms wont allow us to charge the phone while off, so anyone have any suggestions, as i am in this constant bootloop????????
Sounds like you need a new battery, the phone is supposed to shutdown long before there is damage to the battery but a completely discharged lithium battery may never take a charge again, but if you can't charge with the phone off then you may have other issues.
Id hop on Ebay and find a replacement battery. Them work from there

This is my experience i am on miui also and the other day I had the same thing happen and I just did the three button trick to boot into recovery and left it in recovery for about 15-20 mins then reboot and it started to charge. Hope this helps.
Yikes, I guess ill have to remind myself to never let my battery deplete. Although I thought it was recommended to let battery cash in at least once per month.

howd you get it to boot into recovery? when it boots, it goes straight from the circular dotted charging/loading symbol to my miui boot animation, NO samsung screen so i dont know when to let go of the power. ive tried at random times, but no dice. i dont have enough juice to unplug, boot into CWM, then replug

Pull and replace the battery and Hold both volume buttons and the power button at same time.... Phone will reboot, once you see samsung splash screen let go of power button while still holding both volume buttons and cwm should come up.
I Should have said while being plugged in. Mine was via usb

i never got to the samsung screen, but your first suggestion worked. when it booted to the lockscreen, i quickly unlocked, turned off wifi, gps, and adjusted screen brightness, then i wa able to boot into recovery and let it charge a minute... thanks for ur help & to the other the guy that tried
I've had this happen also with a totally discharged battery and CM7. Booted to download mode and wiped with Odin, reflashed CM7.
I had this happen with CM7 a couple weeks ago. A couple guys asked if I was using the actual Samsung charger and pointed out that it has some charging internals that work with a low battery situation that other chargers may not have.
So, were you using the Samsung charger or another USB power source?

I've been running the latest CM10 M release for a couple weeks now. Today I upgraded to the latest modems. Everything was working great for a few hours when my phone randomly shut off and now won't turn back on.
I've tried pulling the battery and charging. Can't ever see anything on the screen although it does vibrate sometimes when I hold the power button. LED will turn on when charging.
Any ideas or suggestions?
See if you're able to boot straight into download or recovery, thus will show intact boot and recovery systems.
One other test, pull battery and with phone off plug into your PC if it shows a red light its likely hard bricked.
I had the unfortunate experience of flashing wrong kernel and bricked my phone was not going to recovery or download. However if you can get to these then it may be a soft brick and restore with odin

Once my phone got stuck because I flashed a new recovery that wasn't compatible with my phone so each time I tried to boot into recovery or tried to turn on the phone nothing would happen. The only thing that got my phone working again was to go into download mode (Odin) by holding power, volume down and home buttona and than canceling it. from there the Rom started working again. I don't know if it will help in your case but you can always try.
That was a strange experience. Left it plugged in for a few hours. Came back, and was able to boot normally... although the battery was extremely low despite being plugged in for a few hours. No problems since then.
Congrats =)
Seems like disaster was avoided.

Do you know what percent your phone turned off at? Around what percent? Was it 23-25%?
I have a 3 week old Note 10.1 with rooted ROM that will not power on. It was put on the charger overnight with battery depleted (should have charged it before it went completed out.)
In the morning I unplugged it and turned it off before putting it it a sleeve. When I went to turn it on in the afternoon, it doesn't do anything to indicate turning on or waking up. I have it on the charger again, but nothing shows to indicate that a connection to the charger is being made on the Note 10.1
I will need to return it to Bestbuy, but can't do it in it's current stage as it's rooted and has my personal data still intact. Can anyone please suggest any options, I tried few that I had read about (holding power button for 30 seconds and touching the screen, attempt to go into recovery) but none pans out.
Thanks
Dave
Try plugging it into the computer to see if it shows up. If it does, try erasing the cache on it to see if that fixes it.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately have the same result. Its seems as dead as a nail
Even in odin?
Plug in an otg cable with something lightey (led) to see if the mainboard doing basic jobs.
Can you get into either download (power/vol down) or recovery (power/vol up)? If you can get into recovery, try dirty flashing your ROM. If you can get into download, you should be able to Odin back to stock, though you will lose whatever data you have on your device.
Thanks for all the suggestions, greatly appreciated! Last night I decided to put it back on the charger one more time just to make sure it had juice in the morning to attempt the "finger on the screen and power button" option. It kept just flashing "Samsung Note 10.1" text for few seconds without going any further. I then decided to try "power button" and "volume up" option, took me to the "downloading" screen as it seemed like it was waiting for Odin download. I then proceeded to turn off the tablet and rebooting, which then took me to normal boot up. System indicated charge of 96%, this must have been what I have been reading online (Screen of Death or deep sleep.) I then did a restart to recovery, to perform restore from an backup that was done prior to root. After going thru all the clearing cache etc... and the tablet started to perform the restore, system shut itself and now I have nothing again.
When I was doing the restore from backup, I did not have the tablet connected to any usb connection, maybe that 96% battery was false or something. I put the unit back on the on the power charger again (thinking the battery is depleted again.) Very frustrating, I just want to unroot this tablet and take it back now to Bestbuy.
reminds me on what happened with my note. But for me I thought: "naah, you aren't dead. You're my new babe."
I flashed it immediately after buying and so far... odin always helped. With stock kernel most roms work. Some overclock kernels freeze my note or it isn't bootable 'til stock flash.
edit: you should add a [Solved] into your threadtitle.
Sorry not yet fixed, as mentioned its back on the charger and dead as a nail again.

didn't think Best Buy would take stuff back after 3 weeks. Thought u only had 15 days.

Attempted to check for devices using adb, nothing at all listed under attached devices after entering "./adb devices" command. I think the board might have gone bad, as the tablet will not boot at all now, even after 8 hours of overnight charging, it's dead. Is there anything I can attempt to revive so I can unroot it, to take it back for refund? Thanks in advance
I'd take it back to the store and see if the Geek Squad can get it to power up. If they can't then they'll never know you rooted it anyway and you can swap it for a new one. Assuming that it's still in the zone or return/swap of course.

I was thinking of doing that, just was worried what the consequences might be if they would to find out it was rooted later down the line. It's still in the return/exchange window. I guess I'll be taking that chance with them, if they get it to boot, I'll be happy with that and re-store to stock.
AS USUAL I DID MY WORK AND POWERED OFF MY TAB(BECAUSE ITS BATTERY WAS DOWN)
WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE IT,THE CHARGE METER FILLS 1/4th AND JUST SWITCHES OFF(WHILE ITS SWITCHED OFF.WHEN I PRESS THE POWER BUTTON IT DOESN'T TURN ON IT JUST CHARGE AND GETS SWITCHED OFF.PLEASE SUGGEST ME A SOLUTION.

Can you boot in to download or recovery mode at all?

Sorry about the caps and i cant boot into download or recovery mode at all.At this point I can Connect the charger and watch what happens.
And the only thing that happens is, I get the charging Symbol(Orange one) and that does not fill either, it just comes progresses to 2 bars (takes 2 seconds) and then Blanks out and this process continues until the Power cable is connected.:crying::crying:
There was no Firmware update or anything else that happened recently. At this point, I reckon its more of a Battery issue rather than a Firmware issue. That said, I will leave the prognosis/Speculation to you since you are the expert.
Thanks in advance !

I just charged the tab for two full days. That solved the problem . Used odin to flash the stock firmware.
So I just picked up this s3, it will turn on but shuts off halfway through galaxy splash screen. Boots into recovery and Odin mode just fine, prior to purchasing we plugged it in, got it to boot and did a factory reset, to clear privious owners data, and it went fine, did it reboot and took me to setup. Satisfied with its performance I went ahead and made the purchase, upon unplugging it shut off, as I expected if battery was indeed shot. What gets me is I let it charge, unplugged, booted, shut off at splash screen, plug back in and says its still fully charged. Boot into recovery and indeed, 100% battery. I haven't gotten around to flashing twrp or rooting, was wondering if anyone has experienced this?

Anyone got any ideas? Just got home, am able to boot past the splash screens as long as its plugged in but once I try to start using it (going through setup/tutorial) it ends up rebooting, computer can read phone in odin/recovery modes but don't see a point reflashing stock firmware if this phone was never touched, completely stock unrooted, just a factory reset upon purchasing. I've read somewhere about a stuck power button, is that common among the Verizon s3? If so ill pop it open and check it out.
Phone was already on 4.4 when I got it, I downloaded and flashed stock firmware (ne1) via odin, I got the whole way to the end of setup and as soon as it started loading the homescreen it cut off and went to the green battery charge icon when phones off. Everytime I try and boot it, she'll go through all the splash screens and ill catch a very short glimpse of the homescreen and it shuts off. Also it HAS to be plugged in still, or else it just shuts off halfway through initial "galaxy s3" splash.. I don't understand...
Have you tried a new battery? Even if it's plugged in it won't run if the battery is completely shot.
Also if you indeed have a Verizon S3 on NE1 firmware you will not be able to install TWRP as the bootloader is locked. You will be able to root, however.

The stuck power button seems to affect users IN recovery mode too, it seems like phone randomly reboots in recovery.
You can pick up a new battery from amazon for like $7 I think, its been a while, but might be worth it.
It could also maybe be some issue in transferring charge from the battery to the main board, meaning maybe bad connections/contacts.
Is it plugged in when it reboots, because that may indicate poor contacts, since the charger alone isn't able to power the device (ex I used to be able to take out my LG Ally battery when plugged in and it functioned fine).
Good luck!

Turns out it was the battery all along, found a battery that the contacts matched on (even though it was only 1650 mAh) wedged it in with paper and it booted just fine. Found a battery on craigslist that night and has worked great ever since, unfortunately PO had already updated to 4.4.2 so im stuck with that Thanks for the response, I just found it odd that the battery held a charge just didn't work.. maybe I should check the contacts on that and clean them.
