I recently was experiencing my phone auto booting. When i take out the battery and place it back in the phone it automatically restarts without me pressing the power button... this happens also when i use the power button to shut down. The only time it doesnt reboot is when i have the charger plugged in. I have no idea why this is happening, i wiped and reflashed my rom (mexdroidmod, its awesome) and it continued. I then rewiped and flashed osimood and the autobooting was still there... help?

Sadly i left my battery out for a hour and when i placed it in again it reboots..... this doesnt affect my phones performance i am just terrified that its a sign of worse things to come... (came from the dreaded bell galaxy s with its sd card issues.... never getting samsung again.... )

I have the exact same problem. I just realized yesterday. It's worth investigating.
Sounds like it might be a hardware issue. Power button might be broken. Maybe? Now I've I have read you posts again I'm not sure if it is or not.
I also have this problem, just found it out.
When I power off the phone it will shut down, and then boot automatic.
hmm interesting i thought it was only me and noone else becuase no other person posted this issue ever lol think i should make a poll in the general section for people to try this since many people may have it without knowing...
I am not sure about the power button... it still wakes the phone up no problem.
ill probably make the poll this.
Yes, Rooted
Yes, Not Rooted
No, Rooted

I'm on Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 btw
GREAT NEWS!
as posted by edkeys in cm7 nightly thread, drain your battery to 0% and let the device turn itself off completly dead, plug into charger and let it charge ~4 hours or until your light turns green. unplug charger, phone will boot, load up your rom, power down, AND IT STAYS OFF!

It doesn't work, phone turns itself off.
Plug into charger and the phone boots...
It might take a few tries. I had to drain the battery 3 times and then let it fully charge for about 4-6 hours. On the third time trying it, it finally shuts down without auto rebooting.

Just pulled it for the 6th time.
It doesn't seem to work.
The phone does not work, tried warranty but it does not cover because of a few minor scratches, it won't boot at all, tried recovery mode but when its almost opening it shuts down again, it vibrates while off like if it was turning on every 2 seconds, tried download mode neither does this work... it has the stock rom it came with, is there anything i can do? Thanks in advance for any piece of help that's given

Try out the T-989 Toolkit posted today in the Development section. Maybe that can help kick it into Download mode

The battery works tried another one and tried removing it with the charger connected and it seems like it is a power issue because it also vibrates with the charger and no battery

I downloaded the toolkit but the computer wont recognize the phone because it is constantly on/off and it does not boot to a point where it can ne recognized

For anyone, when your phone vibrates every 2 seconds while off and connected to a power source, unplug it, replug it and DON'T DO ANYTHING! Wait for the battery to charge up and it will boot itself.
SGS2 Dead - Vibrates only

I have a Galaxy S II (I727) that is just vibrating (after it dropped from a desk to the floor). I can see a hairline crack in the glass at the top right corner if you hold it at the right angle. Though the buttons all still click, it doesn't respond to any combination of buttons. The battery is fully charged and tested on a voltmeter. Connected to a power source with the battery out, it still just vibrates every second or two. The only way to stop the vibrating is pull the battery. It's out of warranty, so I'm up for trying anything. Help?
So I've had a my Galaxy Nexus for some time now. I'm rooted and I was running AOKP with absolutely no issues what so ever.
Then out of the blue my phone wouldn't charge when it was turned on, so I had to power down to charge. When this finally stopped and I actually COULD charge while powered on, when I would disconnect from the wall outlet the phone would continue to display the bolt icon and say charging - an issue which I could never solve.
Then the next day the Power Button stopped responding all together and the screen would not power down because I have settings configured to keep the screen on whilst charging, and as the phone was under the illusion it was still charging this meant the screen would never turn off. Other than those two issues the rest of the phone worked perfectly.
But eventually constant powering of the screen whilst ACTUALLY off charge killed the battery. So, obviously, I plugged it in. And all I get is the white charging indicator of the large battery and the bolt inside, I cannot boot beyond this because of the irresponsive power button but the animation shows me that the battery is charging and I imagine it is full at this point.
Reading through some forums online for the past few days a reoccurring suggestion appeared to be unscrewing the back and checking the connections to the power button - but upon trying this I managed to get out 5 of the 6 screws and unfortunately failed and rounded the final one off.
I really need help you guys. My phone is my life and on it at the moment are lots of important files. Any suggestions are appreciated greatly.
I'm only worried to send the phone to either Samsung or my Carrier because it is rooted and because of the rounded screw, surely my warranty is voided now? and I can't unroot because the power button is dysfunctional. The only good thing I think is that the fact I see the charging indicator tells me that the phone is not bricked, but how can I get onto it without a power button?
I only need the phone booted up so that I can restore my data and at least attempt to unroot. HELP PLEASE HELP!
Try to boot into recovery by pressing the power bottom and both volume up and down. And try a fresh install of the ROM also try not using the keep screen on feature as it uses a lot of battery and takes longer to fully charge. And you can burn the screen with that feature turn on.

My power button isn't responding. All that happens is when I connect it to power I see the white charging indicator - tells me its not bricked - however, a couple of times I've help the power button trying to boot it and it boots into ODIN MODE but then where its says start and points to the power button, I press it and nothing. It's totally irresponsive about 99.99999% of the time:/
When ever you start having issues with a ROM it could be an app or a setting in the ROM features causing issues a fresh install can sometimes fix it. I would keep trying to see if you can boot in to the recovery and flash something. With one screw being mess with I can see Verizon charging you for a replacement unless you have the extended warranty. Which is still 100 $ to use. Good luck.

That would mean booting would it not? I have no power button:/ I just need the phone to boot, that's all. I can get some vital data from it then and send it back
If you can get it to be recognized by USB
adb reboot bootloader
From there follow the guides to get back to stock via fastboot once you get back stock
fastboot oem lock.
Then try warranty if your problems still exist.

Does the phone not have to be booted to be recognised by USB? Plus I'm running a Mac, I know you guys hate Macs
I actually have the same problem. Running the blackice ROM. I absolutely love the ROM but i have to keep switching chargers and/or hoping it will charge. Had to take battery completely out and put it on one of those wall things. Have done a compete wipe and reinstall but didn't change. It's not charging when plugged in but it's not charging either. Just goes from discharging to not charging in the about phone stats..

The phone is charging, I just can't get it to boot due to the power button not working. I just mentioned all of the symptoms for the sake of being detailed to get the best help
Before all that was is just randomly powering off and rebooting? Mine did that yesterday a few times before the charge issue. at the moment mine says "charging usb" earlier it was "not charging" and "charging ac" an using the original cord. I'm asking because now I'm all worried I'm going to be having same issue as you. like symptoms ya know? I hope not because i have FINALLY found a ROM i love. And I'm a serial flasher lol

Yeah, on the AOKP it would do random quick reboots, going straight from the Pink AOKP Unicorn then back into the OS. Quite annoying

If it boots into ODIN mode and you're _just_ pressing power, that means you probably have an error where it thinks your VOLUME DOWN button is being pressed, not the power button.
You have to do a battery pull to get out of ODIN mode, btw.
Let us know: what happens if you boot into ODIN, pull the battery, and then just boot up pressing power....
No one else sees the trend ?
All of the people having this issue are running AOKP (or a kang of it(blackice)).
Funny how that works eh ?

I've never been able to replicate this boot, and holding VOLUME DOWN doesn't do anything either
Running Slim Bean for about a week. Phone just shuts off tonight. Leave it plugged in for about an hour and all I get is a little vibration and battery icon when I press the power button. I've only had the phone for three weeks. I'm going to try and exchange the battery tomorrow but will my phone being rooted be an issue since I can't even boot up to unroot?
I would flash back to stock and verify is actually the battery, just do a nandroid before.
Have you tried booting to recovery, or dl mode

If you're using a USB charger (plugged into your laptop or something), try using a wall charger or possibly a car charger.
Connected to my OEM wall charger. The device won't turn on at all, I'm guessing the battery draine while I was at work.
Have you tried taking out the battery and putting it back in?

Yes. I think its a bad battery but Im at least trying to get it to boot up so I can unroot. Nothing on the screen comes up when I plug it in. If I hold the power button while its plugged in, an empty battery icon will pop up, the phone will vibrate, and the screen will go blank again.
If it's been on your charger for a while, pull the battery out for a full minute. Replace and try to boot.
Did you ever figure this one out? I have ran Slim Bean for a few days and I can't charge my phone now. It completely drained and now it displays the grey battery icon with the spinning "thinking" circle for about half a second and then goes black. I can only reproduce this after taking out the battery for 10 seconds, placing it back in, then plugging it into the OEM wall charger. ATT SGS 3, owned since release.
same here

Guys im having an issue with my week old s3...my battery power hit 0 percent and phone turned off and now when i plug it in it wont turn on. It will give me the little battery icon for less than a second before shutting off. I am getting no response from the phone and dont know what to do. I tried volume+ up and volume +down to no avail. Im pretty irritated at this point and need some insight. Have tried diffrent chargers and they all give me battery icon before shutting of.
What room are you on?
Have you tried just letting it charge and sit there
When my s3 but zero I plugged it in
Didn't lead power till like 5 min afterwards and it worked fine

Having the exact same problem on my phone as well running FreeGS3 v3.0 and Ktoonz kernel.
This is how I fixed mine.
Plug it in and get it to show the empty battery with a circle in it. Once you see that plug it in and leave it alone for a while at least five minutes, yes the battery sign should only stay for a second. It should just go black screen no charging light.*After five minutes or so unplug it, pull the battery, and put it back in leave the phone unplugged and hold the power button a while. Some times they act weird when they dieThis is how I fixed mine.

When you plug it in, and see the icon, let it go for on charge for about 10s, unplug the usb, then hold the power button and see if it turns on then.
Mine will be in my pocket and won't respond like it is off. I have to hold the power button for 10seconds and it will come back on This is only happening shortly after a full charge. FreeGS3 Rom.
So is this a rom issue?

I made a thread because I was having the exact same problem. Click on the link I attached in my first post. It's from the T-Mobile GS3 because they are having the same issue. The last post said flashing back to stock fixed the problem.
Just ran into this issue yesterday. I threw the battery into a standalone Anker charger for a while to get some juice back, and the phone powered up and charged fine from there.
I'm also on FreeGS3/ktoonsez.
