All of a sudden, while at work I turn off my phone to charge and it reboots and goes straight to download mode?? I think I read somewhere inside another topic.. does that mean the original usb cord is going bad and turned into a jig or something..?? Thank you.

Oh OK, shouldn't be bad towards the phone.. I think it is the cord.

Are you using a g2x data cable?

Yep that will cause this.
I'm just sayin!
No and I think I figured it out. My 11months old baby kept playing with the cord and chewing on the tip.

My phone does this as well on my car charger, I will need to pickup a better quality one.
I think I have bricked my phone. Im pretty tech savvy I have had around 5 phones and have rooted all phones. I flashed a rom I had not seen before in rom manager. It is called minium 1.0.7. It flashed fine and I hit reboot and my phone did nothing. So I did a battery pull for about 3mins and put it back in and it wont boot at all. Is there anyway I can get it to come alive again. Thanks

Its pretty much not safe to flash stuff from rom manager anymore. Tons of stuff that isn't for our phone shows up in there now, huge problem. But more than likely you are bricked. Only hope you have is holding volume up+down at the same time, and plugging in the usb cord until the "warning" comes up. If that does not work, you have no hope. If download mode actually does come up, i will point you in the right direction to fixing your phone.

I just sent my phone back to Samsung for warranty when I bricked mine. If it wont boot at all 99.9% chance they just send you a refurb.

Ok, I have tried that and it wont respond to anything I think its dead. To tmobile I go. Thanks for the help though.

Bricked a previous gs2 with ROM from other gs2 forums. Sent it to Samsung and replaced under warranty free. Recently picked up this one and wishing I never sold the previous one

Try putting it in download mode by using an official LG usb cord and plugging it into a wall socket. I know the LG cords have the constant power wire switched so you might be able to do that. I have seen it done before.
Talked to my awesome tmobile friend and she has a new one coming Wed and only cost $5 to replace. Thanks guys for all your advice.

Probably worth it but your friend is pocketing $5

Samsung website, register the phone and information is on there. Took about 10 days or less for it to get back.

Just got my replacement in and I have noticed it doesn't have a lockscreen. I have rebooted and and turned the screen on and off. The screen turns on and without having to go thru a lockscreen.
The other thing I noticed is if my hold down my power button my phone turns off. It doesn't prompt me to put it airplane mode or anything. It doesn't even ask me if I want to shut down it just does. Can't get a custom rom on thus fast enough.

Ok, it finally booted and it works but only charges with the computer when i connect it to the wall charger it turns off... What can i do?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
try a different wall charger?
I will try it later, don't have one right now the news is that it is turning itself off again solo... Turns on when he wants to, when its loading it shuts off and starts vibrating, only sometimes it boots completely what can be causing this?

Bought the epic touch on release date. Could never get decent battery life on cm9. Thought I'd try a new battery since they're only $13. Went from under 2 hours screen on to 3 hours screen on time. Totally worth the 13$

Nice. I was thinking of getting a second battery. You just get a stock 1800 mAh one?

Moral of the story was if you have crappy battery life. Get a new one.

No problem. Yes I got a new stock oem battery from ebay
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
You could have picked one up for free at the Sprint store. I just exchanged two batteries, mine and the wife's, they didn't even check me in or look at the batteries. You're right, though, a new battery makes a huge difference.

Would the cable make a difference even though I use the stock adapter?

Maybe adapter would be okay but others ones have different voltage they put out. Like a BB charger I use is 1A and the stock Samsung is 750mA
If I'm not mistaken ?

Just be careful and read the specs on all 3rd party chargers....one I bought for car has trashed the battery.
Sprint just replaced mine, can get up to 12 hours with moderate use

In the same situation,
Especially when running Google Maps. I love the phone but had to revert back to S3
It's drawing more power than the USB connection can provide.

All the time?? For every charger ?
I went completely stock too so there is nothing in my phone but a few apps.

It seems to be the usual explanation for that kind of problem, but if you're stock and fairly clean and it happens on every charger, then it may very well be something else...not sure exactly what though.
