Whenever I try to turn on s3 when it's charging and powered off it shows the Samsung logo then goes back to showing the charging logo and doesn't turn on. Anyone else experiencing this?

Its normal. Acts weird if u try to turn it on when plugged in the s2 was the same way. U have to let go of the power at just the right moment. Best way to get around it is to hold the button combo for download mode(vol down+home+pwr) when the warning comes up just hit vol down and it will boot as normal
You have to hold power until it vibrates.
I do hold it until it vibrates but it still loops back to the charging screen

I had the same issue last week. Couldn't get it to boot at all, I was able to go in download mode but it quickly powered back off. I ened up taking it into BestBuy as i just signed up for their insurance. They gave me a new phone out of box after trying themselves to get it to boot.

My phone froze, so naturally I held down the power button to get the restart option. Then it kept restarting over and over never making it past red eyeball looking screen. So I popped the battery out, waited a while and put it back in to turn back on. Nothing even if I try to charge it..nada, not eve the light on the front that lets you know its charging. Ive read about holding the volume down button + power to do a factory reset...nothing happens...Did I do something wrong or is phone fried?

Can you plug the phone into the computer and the computer recognizes something plugged in??

I've tried to see if it would charge from the computer no luck either. Computer doesn't recognize a device
Hey,
So I just got this GNex from eBay and it won't boot at all. If I plug it into the wall it will show the battery charging and show it filling up 3 times and then go black. I've tried plugging it into the computer and pulling the battery quickly to get it to boot and nothing. Is there anything I can do to flash/boot into the device or am I stuck relying on the store to do something about it? I've done several searches on the forum and google and I haven't found anything beneficial.
Thanks!
I would say it's dead. Try holding down the power button while holding down the volume up and volume down buttons all at once. If it should vibrate let go of the power button and see if it will enter fast boot. If not send it back.

thats the normal behavior when you plug it in, 3 times filling up then black. then when you press the power button, three times fill up then black. to me it sounds like your power button is broken.
I think power button is broken. Possibly volume keys as well. I'm able to boot if I plug into the PC and then wiggle the battery. There's a lock pattern so I can't get past it but I'm unable to adjust volume or turn the screen off/on. I'm going to bring it to the sprint store tomorrow and say it won't turn on.
Thanks!

Looks like the phone got wet. I can boot it up with the PC as mentioned before but its locked and I don't know the pattern/gmail account. Is there anyway to put a phone into USB debugging without getting into the phone? How about fast boot/recovery/download mode without volume down or power buttons?

OK so I felt my phone continuously vibrating in my pocket, so I held the power button because that usually makes it stop vibrating and start powering up. However, this time it just keeps vibrating. So I took the battery out and when I put it back in, the phone automatically turned on and the Samsung logo came on the screen. But before it could get to the cynanogenmod logo on the screen the phone shuts down and keeps on vibrating. It won't go into download or recovery mode without shouting off or vibrating. And more recently it won't go into the modes at all. But like three strange things are happening. 1. It will start up, show the Samsung logo, and then the cynanogenmod logo but will get stuck on the cynanogenmod logo and will go back to vibrating. 2. I got it to completely start up, I could see the home screen and everything but then the phone froze, turned off, and started vibrating. 3. I decided to try and charge it because it stop vibrating and I thought it was dead. And when I hooked it up, it showed the screen with the battery loading. But only for 30 seconds at the most.
So I was wondering is there anyway I can fix this?
Ok so if this were to happen to me i would kill the battery, plug chatter into computer, take out battery ands put back in plug phone into charger and hold volume up and down button and see if you can get into download mode. Iff you can then just use Odin to stock the phone. Off not then idk what to say.

Thanks for replying but I can't get into download or recovery mode.
Sounds awfully similar with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783404
If your power button is having issues, it can be repaired. So you are not soft or hard bricked. It is just a faulty button. Some people managed to unstuck the button with a small screwdriver.
Sounds like your power button is stuck, there was a thread about this issue and I think a fix, do a quick search on power button sticking.

Thanks for the suggestion. But I've tried wiggling the power button around and it doesn't work.
Thanks guys, I'll search around. But I'm starting to give up hope because I've messed with the power button and it doesn't seem to be stuck. But really thank you.
It's the actual switch on the logic board, it needs to be replaced. Cheers
Got a problem. My S3 won't boot up. I'm running AOKP, not sure which version.
When I pull the battery and put it back in, the Samsung logo flashes once, like it's trying to boot, without me ever touching the power button, then it goes black. I went to the cell phone store and tried with another battery. Same result.
I've been having problems with the power button sticking internally recently. No evidence of sticking from the outside, but the power menu randomly appears, and the phone would randomly shut off. I don't have a lock on my phone, so I overused the power button a lot.
Is it supposed to turn on like that after you pop in a fully working battery, or does that mean the power button is being held in place? Could someone confirm what happens if the power button on the S3 is held down continuously after you turn it on?
Also might be a software or flash problem from too many random reboots.
Hopefully the motherboard is not toast.
It's likely that you are just having a stuck power button. Normally if you just hold it down, first the power menu will appear and if you continue to hold it down, the phone will go black and try to restart.

Probably a decharged battery in the box. with the old firmware it wont charge while off and when you plug it in, it boots up and uses too much battery to keep itself on, so it shuts down. try holding Volume + , home button and then powering on. this should take u to the recovery, which uses less battery and might be able to charge up a bit.
Edit: HOLD (VOLUME + AND HOME BUTTON TOGETHER, THEN PUSH/HOLD THE POWER BUTTON) once it boots into a recovery mode, u can let go, MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOU TABLET PLUGGED IN.
If that doesn't work, take it back and demand a new one.
