So my Frontier S3 AT&T started having a weird issue about a month ago. when I was using it to work out ...the screen would go completely black, nothing you could do bring it back. You could force reboot it but after showing the rebooting Samsung logo the screen would still be black. The only way to get it working again was to put it in the charger for a minute and once it started charging it would then boot up normally again.
Now this seems to be happening at random times during the day for no reason.. I factory reset it a few times but the problem reappears ... Any thoughts? (Might be time for an upgrade)
My Gear S3 is doing the same thing. The battery seems to drain very quickly. When I put it back on the charger, it says 88% and charges back to 100% very quickly. However, I only get 30 mins. use out of it, before it goes black again.

Hi everyone, I appologize in advance if this has been posted and resolved, but I couldn't seem to find anything after numerous searches.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 that I have had for JUST over a year (i think June 30th) Everything has been fine, no problems and today I was on it, working fine and then all of a sudden it shut off and then started to reboot. Only when it powered back on, it showed the black SAMSUNG GALAXY SII powered by Tmobile start up screen, then went black, then the startup screen appeared again, then went black...repeat.
I did a battery pull for 2 minutes, same thing. Did a battery pull for 1 hour, same, I left it on the chargert for 4 hours and while on charger kept blinking on and off but now only the grey battery (even now off the charger)
It has never been rooted, or updated or anything like that. There is no water damage at all.
I have a wall charger for the battery only and an extra battery and have tried charging both batteries with that and still no luck.
I have also tried plugging it into my computer to see if it would boot up that way and nope. Still just the on and off dead battery, not even the startup screen.
HELP PLEASE!?
power shortage?
Has there been any kind of problems with your electric house system? that happened to me once, and it was due to a power problem at my house, it basically blew off my battery. Forget about battery pulls. Go to a store and ask them to lend you a battery for a second. If it powers on fine, it's the battery. If it doesn't i think you should get yourself a new phone, or try to get it fixed at the customer service. Sorry for the bad news man...
Nope, no problems with electricity, and neither of the 2 batteries will work!
Looking for any help or guidance here. I searched the forums and have found limited info fitting my situation.
My S3 is rooted running Jelly Beans Build 15, today I was sitting here playing a game the phone was in use for a while so it was warm to the touch as it can normally become... mid game there was a slight flicker of the screen and it DIED.
Since then I can not get any power back. I pulled the battery, and tried to power up I get a vibe then nothing happens. I've tried to reboot into DL or recovery all it will do is vibe then nothing happens.
I plugged it into the charger and it will vibe, the LED doesn't come on, and the battery icon on the screen will flash on and off the screen, each time it appears there is a short vibe.. with all that the phone won't boot.
I've had it about a year. SO did it just sh!t the bed on it's own??

My first S3 did almost the same thing one day. My wife and I both got them on launch day and mine always seemed to run out of battery a bit faster than hers. One day, it got really warm in my pocket and the battery started draining out of control, it dropped 10% in a few minutes and just kept going until it was dead. Plugging it into USB to charge, it vibrated, I got the big battery icon on the screen, then reboot, vibe, icon, over and over again. I had to exchange it with Verizon.

Any chance you could get your hands on a different battery to try? I was in class once playing some dumb mini putt game some guys played next to me, and my phone just completely shut off. I couldn't get it to turn back on and at the time it turned off I had ~half battery. I got back to my room and put a different battery in it and it worked fine. I charged the battery that wouldn't work and it now works fine again. Not really sure what the problem is though...
But yeah. Find another battery to use to get it to boot back up
So the phone is alive and working. It seems there may have been an issue with the battery level and a bad reading. When the phone died it read 20%, I hooked it up to a usb power cable on my pc and work and it didn't work.
When I got home I plugged it into the OEM charger and it was showing the battery was essentially dead and charged the phone back up...
That's all that happened... strange but true

Then it didn;t brick itself..... it had help.
I think you have the same problem I did. When my phone completely dies and I plug it to the charger the battery charging icon goes on and off or if I get lucky stays on and charges it. But I put the same battery o. Another phone it charged instantly. I got a replacement from verizon.

So about 2 weeks ago, i rooted my phone and flashed over the nightly version of CWM. Ran fine for about a week, afterwards i noticed a big battery drain. Then started the freezes, and finally the random restarting. During this time, it would commonly get my battery percentage wrong( Ex: It would say 20% but then die. I would turn it back on and it would say 5. Take out the battery, put it back in, and it would say something like 12%.) Yesterday, i had about 20% left, and it just turns off. Wont turn back on. I get home, plug it up, and its in a charging screen boot loop. Plug in-Go to charging screen-Turn off-repeat. It will do that repeatedly, as long as it's plugged in. I've looked it up, and it looks like it's the SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome) and that Samsung can only fix it under warranty. The problem is, I didn't get this through a carrier contract, i bout it basically new online. Any help? Anyone have advice on how to fix it, or what to do?
Odin back to stock and see if it still happens.

Why are you double posting? You already posted this in the Q&A section, you're causing more work for moderators by doing this. Posting once is enough.

A few days ago, my phone got pretty hot while I slept. But everything seemed fine until last night. I only bring up the heat because that's literally the only thing I can think of that might have caused this problem, even if there were a few days between that event and when the phone started behaving strangely.
Status:
Verizon SGS3. On CM11 nightly from about a week ago with the kernel it came with.
Issues:
I can't boot the phone. It'll quickly show the Cyanogen logo and then shut down again. Even if I'm on the charger, it'll just shut down. The battery will sometimes show 0% and charging, then I'll try it again a couple of minutes later and it'll show 87% and charging.
I did manage to boot the phone a couple times. It lasted long enough until I was able to get to the main screen. After a couple minutes, the power menu started flashing on and off showing the reboot/screenshot/power off menu. Like very quickly. Then the screen started turning on and off rapidly.
One of the times I managed to boot the phone, I was able to do a factory reset from settings. I reset it. The problem persists. I've tried two different batteries. Both batteries work fine in another SGS3 I have, but not in the one that's causing all the problems.
Any ideas?
Hello!
Yesterday when I tried to put my Samsung Galaxy s5 to charge, nothing happened. It has worked like a charm before and I can´t see why it wouldn't this time.
I first try other chargers no one worked, then I turned off the phone, but then the phone finds the charging port, because a battery with a lightning comes around for 2 seconds or so, but then it disappears and a new battery with a yellow warning triangle comes instead.
I though it was just the battery who had died, so I walked to my electronic shop today, there we tried with a new battery, but got the same result, the yellow warning.
I have also tried to Cache Wipe and Format the phone, nothing works.
If I go into download mode Odin recognize the phone.
This phone has never been rooted or custom rom.
Any suggestions to save me from send it repair?
Thx
Now I put the phone on charge for an hour, the battery was on 68% both before and after, but then I restarted the phone and now it has 93%. But it never displayed that it charged...
I have started having issues with mine as well. Idk if the charger has a short in it or what.
