Has anyone had a problem turning on the phone? It's very tricky trying to turn it on. I try turning it on but then it reboots but I eventually get it to turn on somehow?

I have had some issues if the battery actually dies. Not if I turn it off myself.
But since JB I haven't had it happen as often.
I would actually have to reboot from the bootloader to get it to turn on.

Just had this happen to mine, had to take it in for a replacement - luckily I had the BestBuy warranty and they are having one overnighted to me. Even got a loaner phone for the time being.
Really wish I knew what caused it. Would have taken it in to sprint, but their repair centers are closed on Sundays.

This only happens when I'm trying to type a text message or play a game that requires the use of a touch pad (like zenonia 3 and 4). The touch screen just refuses to respond properly and is causing me to be annoyed. Anyone know how to resolve this issue so I don't have to go back to Verizon and get a replacement?
NOTE: I've already tried to pull out the battery, format the phone, and the sd card. None of them worked.

Yeah, but even when it wasn't rooted, my phone did this.

On aosp roms I had the same issue.. just randomly would not respond. My soft keys would still and anything but the keyboard.. I don't know why. What I would do is turn my screen off and back on and it would start normal again.. then I just went back to sense and no issues

Ok, then I think it's probably an issue with the digitizer. I would take it to Verizon and see if you can get a replacement.

I was afraid you would probably say that, but I'm probably gonna do that around march or april. Unrooting my phone is gonna be a pain and redoing the process over, but I have little choice in the matter. Thanks.

Hello,
Today when I restarted my phone, it got stuck on the "Goodbye" screen for longer than normal, then flashed the camera 3 times before shutting off. What is going on? Anyone have a similar issue? I am on stock, rooted.
Thanks
Happens to everyone, it is normal.

It may be an android thing. I remember my HD2 used to do this from time to time. I never found out why it does that though...
This happens to me quite often. Sometimes it just stay lit until the phone is completely off. It's just weird
Fyi tmo will replace your phone because of this.. I know I did it. This is not suppose to happen.

Is it really worth it to replace my phone for this? It has only happened once over 5 months. How much did it happen to you? Does it signal something wrong with the phone if it has just happened once?
If it doesn't mean that something is wrong with my phone, I wouldn't really want to go through the hassle of a return :\
It happens to me and my brother randomly. Not a big deal

Do they replace with a brand new unopened box or a refurbished unit?
Lol really? ..jeez some of you complain about everything and anything.
LOVE the uninformed comments about how you should get your phone replaced if it does this or this is a sign of your t989 waving goodbye.
And then people wonder why the whole process of getting a replacement phone keeps getting worse.

so what? does it bother you?
Anyone can replicate this. While your phone is on, hold power/Vol up/Vol down all at the same time for about 10 seconds. That forces a reboot and your camera will flash until you let go.

It is normal....that is why every phone can replicate it.

It sometimes happen to me randomly. No big deal.
This happened to me while I was rooted on 2.3.5 but I never had a chance to try after the update. I'd say it's normal for this phone. It only did it after root...

Well. .
My phone flashes once (quickly) when it shuts off with no battery. It doesn't happen to me anytime I shut it off or restart it.
So i was messing around on rom tool box and tried to install some fonts and bricked my phone! Now it wont power on! Im so mad at myself... i tried everything, battery pull, battery out for 2 hours, left it charging all night and nothing. Any body got any ideas as to what happened? And also i only had it for 5 months so its still under warranty, do you think tmobile will know it was rooted? There was no custom rom installed just a kernal. Any thoughts?

Hi there u should try some reset methods simply search on google

Download Odin 1.85. Pull the battery out then plug the USB cable in to the phone and computer. While holding both volume keys put the battery back in. Should get you to download mode. But before that try to get to recovery and restore a nand. Anymore questions feel free to pm me

The phone does nothing, no download mode, no recovery, does not power on, does not even charge. I have tried all methods to get the darn thing to boot. Thanks guys for the input. I called tmobile and they can replace/exchange for me. Just hoping they dont find that i rooted it.

If you tried all those methods and couldn't get it to turn on then chances are that won't be able to get it to turn on either..
Sent and most importantly they won't be able to see that it was rooted

same thing happened to me when i tried to install a font, no custom room, just a kernel but i can boot into recovery and hboot and phone wont boot past the at&t screen
I just bricked my S3 and whenever I plug it in, eventually, some combination of button presses makes a red LED show up, however, no screen on. Whats even weirder is that when I plug it in, it see's some thing called QHSUSB_DLOAD, and attempts to install drivers for it. I'm wondering if this might allow me to fix it? If all else fails, can someone refer me to a JTAG repair service...
Edit - When I attempt DL mode, I can even hear it disconnect, then reconnect. It fails the driver install though.
Unfortunately bud your hard bricked.

I was making a port from the S2. I changed the updater script to let it flash, it did, and then it killed me.
Update: WOW. T-Mobile replaced it for me! I don't even have warranty left! Yet again, my company saves me.

All I did was brought it into the store, handed it to the guy and said it was broken. Said I had a FACTORY warranty (from Samsung), and that Samsung told me to have the store do the replacement for me. The guy behind the desk said, "Yeah, whatever you stick your SIM into, as long as it's T-
Mobile, your covered. You can even buy phones offline,". It's going to be here monday. Shipped Friday, next day shipping, only 5$. I'm so happy I'm not paying 70$ for a JTAG... Not sure if this'll work for everyone, but it did for me!
I am having a problem that every time I make a phone call my screen shuts off. Its annoying because I can't get the screen back on unless the person I call answers and hangs up, or I pull my battery. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and if there is a fix? It used to only happen on aosp based Roms but now it doesn't seem to matter what the base is ljc, lk8, ma5 or aosp. I am currently running the latest paranoid android from slick rick with the latest twrp; I've yet to try an ma5 ROM, but it was happening on a stock lk8 ROM.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Most likely a faulty proximity sensor. Probably need a replacement, I did.

Sorry I can't remember. If the guy has a screen protector, I would try removing that first. The test should show all zeroes though.

No screen protector either, or a case, just phone.
