[Q] stuck on battery logo when rebooting when its charging?

I have a problem because everytime when my phone is on charge (doesnt matter if its USB cable or wall socket) and Im rebooting it (power -> switch off - > and power it again) the system will not boot up. It will just stay on black screen with battery logo. I never checked if its a problem with stock ICS or Revolution MOD. Anyone else have such a problem?

I have the same problem, it's annoying to have to remove the battery just to turn it back on.

I think most phones do that, on my Optimus 2x i can boot it by using the power button again.

Power button is not working. Can someone confirm if its a stock ICS issue or because our phones are rooted

Dude Android has nothing to say about a pre-boot enviroment like the charger.

Have it here as well. Have pulled the battery both times I have done it so far.

Same problem here. I have tried both Android Revolution and a stock F build.
It sounds like it might be something to do with the bootloader unlock process?
EDIT: Flashed Paul's ir3 release and ClockworkMod again and it's charging fine now. Very strange.

Even though the phone is stuck there, do you know if it is charging?
because my bat is completely dead, when it happened to me. im waiting to see if my phone charges

Any solution to this? besides being damn sure your phone isn't plugged into anything when rebooting?

here more info==>

I can atleast say that the phone i just got, holding down the power button for 5 seconds or so makes it boot into Android

Same issue stock 4.0.3 ...

[Q] Stuck on Samsung Galaxy S3 Screen

Any thoughts here, so far have come up with nothing. I was running odin trying to update and got interupted partially through the process. I'm able to boot the phone on, however it quickly flashes the Samsung screen then proceeds to the "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen where it hangs. I can't boot into recovery, I can't boot into download mode. All I can do is power the phone on and get stuck on this screen. It hangs there until I pull the battery. I've tried every combination possible to boot into recovery & download mode to no avail. If I plug the phone into my computer I can't get it to be recognized since its stuck on this screen. I don't think it's bricked since i'm able to power on, just stuck.
Any thoughts?

If you can still turn it on you can definitely get to download mode. Make sure you're doing the combo right..

Thanks for the quick reply, I like your confidence although I'm still skeptical. I do think I've tried all of the combos to get into download mode but I'm still not getting past the Samsung GS3 screen. Can you tell me which is the "right" combo?
Thanks

I've seen a borked recovery but never seen a borked download mode unless the phone was bricked which isn't the case here since it still powers on. The combo is vol-down+home+power then volume up at the warning screen

That combo is not working. No matter how long/short I hold it or how long/short I wait after the battery pull it still goes straight to the GS3 Logo and hangs forever. I think its bricked. Maybe I need to try a usb jig...

Well I'm sure it's not bricked but this is the first time I've heard a jig mentioned and I don't wanna pull my hair out cuz of a stupid comment. A jig would definitely do the trick here. I assume you don't have one so a word of advice : use Ebay. And buy from someone in the states. Its more than worth the few extra bucks.

I agree that your phone is more than likely not bricked like you may think. You need to hold down the 3 key combo until the screen actually powers on and then let them go. It takes a good 5-7 seconds after the phone vibrates before the screen powers on and then let them go. It should go into download mode and if you still can't get it then sometimes having someone else try it is all it takes.... but most definetly your phone is not hard bricked if it powers on.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. At this point I'm going to have to send it in to mobiltech to have them hopefully revive it using their JTAG services.

I had this problem today.....
After much gnashing of teeth and swearing and being unable to use the generic android recovery due to removing my power button (don't ask) I flashed CWM with odin then used Android Toolkit to restart into recovery, wiped the cache, rebooted and Bob's your Mother's brother everything is rosy in the garden again................:laugh:

[q] at&t s3 dead

I was rooted with CM10.1.0 and was casually using the phone until it randomly turned off. I turned it back on and the only thing that happened was the "Galaxy SIII" screen flashed and turned off again. I popped out the battery multiple times to be welcomed with the same problem again. I can't boot into Download or Recovery at all. Anyone know how to fix this? (btw im on AT&T SGH-i747)

Try another battery.

Please don't provide false or miss leading information.
To OP. Fully charge your battery or use another one if its corrupt.
Try booting up into both recovery or download mode using the proper combination.
Use this guide to get your phone fully working again.

In some instance (very rare) your phones hardware can malfunction, but seeing how it still boots up I doubt its that's.
Follow my guide and you should be fine.

Not without a charged battery. That's why replacing it was the first suggestion.

But it boots up.
As long as a phone is able to boot up its fine.
Like I said please do a little more reading and research and don't spread false information.

What about with it plugged into the charger and try to get to download mode. I thought I bricked my s2, took the battery out but it stayed on. Thought it was possesd bit it was plugged in to USB.

Can't hurt to try.

Definitely recommend download mode with cable plugged in to computer. Are you sure recovery doesn't work while plugged in to power?

Yep. It just loops on the splash screen. I'll try charging it to full and repeating your solutions. (It died off at 80%, very strange). Thanks for your replies though!

Ok guys, seems that my issue isnt the phone being bricked. I left the battery out all night and popped it in the next morning. CM loaded just fine. However after about 10 seconds of it loading, the power menu flashed, i clicked cancel, and then it immediately shut down again, and the usual problem continued. Any thoughts? (btw the phone died at 80% battery the first shut down it had, right now it should have been nearly 100% after charging) Also, connecting it via USB doesn't help at all. Sometimes the blue recovery words flash when i try to boot into recovery, but nothing happens after that.

It could be a bad battery. Might also be the battery contact points. Worse case is something is wrong with power channels on the Mobo. If it is the last then you will have to warranty the phone if you're still covered. I would borrow a battery first to rule out whether or not it is the battery itself.

The power button seems to operate normally, but that could also be one of the things that are causing problems. Once i find someone nearby with an S3 battery i'll see if it's actually a battery problem (most likely the case).

I'd thought i'd mention this as well, whenever i pop in the battery, the phone vibrates and tries to turn on, but doesnt actually do it. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? power button maybe, but battery?

If the battery out all night boots past the splash screen maybe you could, if you haven't, leaving it out and first thing try download mode. I've been in bad spots but this pretty crappy. Probably to technical for me but Good luck. Let us know how you do if none of the posts help.

Found the problem. The power button is always acting as if it's being pushed down when it actually isnt. The phone starts up perfectly when i hold the phone horizontally with the power button facing down. then when i put it back into portrait mode, the power menu flashes, and its turns off. any knowledge on how to fix this then?

Um I'd say taking apart the phone or mailing back for warranty even try taking it to an att store.. Its hardware and not software so they should replace it

Phone Hangs on Boot Animation (CM 10.1)

While using my phone tonight, the battery was really low and the phone died. I plugged it into my charger and tried turning it back on after a few minutes. Unfortunately, the phone didn't start. It simply showed the CyanogenMod boot animation and nothing happened. I tried pulling the battery and turning the phone back on, but the same thing happened. I'm running CyangenMod 10.1, specifically cm-10.1-20130121-EXPERIMENTAL-toro-M1. I've been running this build for months now and have never had this problem before. I was using my phone in the hot tub shortly before this happened and am wondering if it got wet and damaged. I checked the water sensor, but it was not set off - there are still little red X's on the sticker.
Thankfully, it still lets me boot into the bootloader by holding the power button while holding volume up + volume down. I tried going into the recovery menu and doing a factory reset, but it didn't work - it still gets stuck at the boot animation. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Thanks!
