Hi,
I've owned my s3 for about two years, Im going to get a new phone but I still need to use this phone for about a month, but the thing is my phone wont start up. When I take the battery out then put it back in, without pressing anything the phone would vibrate once then open up, the farthest it went was to the boot loop, and then the phone closes itself once again. Either the phone would try opening up again or just sit there, it would even wake up when I just press the home button. I tried going into recovery mode, I got in but after 3 seconds it just shut down again. Whenever I MOVE the phone it starts up, but then shuts down again.
Prior to this, the phone would randomly just reboot itself and most commonly my phone would have no signal and say that there is no sim card inserted. Any ideas anyone?

I was talking on the phone and BOOM it resets.
It started reloading and can't! WTF!? It just gets caught. The Samsung logo comes up and then the darkside boot animation (been running this rom for a few weeks). Then it blacks out and does these intermittent vibrations like it's trying to boot but just stays black.
When I take out the battery and put it back in, it attempts to load itself without me touching any buttons. After the boot animation it goes black and does a single vibration that pulses every other second.
I've changed the battery several times, plugged in, unplugged, everything I try can't stop this.
I attempted to get it into recovery. After I get it there, it resets within seconds and puts me back to the same place. There is no way to get into download mode as it goes into this weird loop as soon as I plug the phone into USB.
Ever heard of this? What do I do?
Your explanation sounds like a hardware issue. your power button is being pressed and held without you doing it.
1- is the phone in a case? take the case off.
2 - if no case, did you get the phone wet? somehow the power button connection is being activated.
3 - power button is stuck.
Possible solution - remove battery then press and release the power button several times.
Let me know if that solved the issue.

So I have a Droid incredible 2 that had been dropped in water. It got completely dried out for a couple of days and it was working ok except that sometimes the screen would just shut off randomly. I would hit the power button a couple of times and the screen would come back on and it would work fine again. I got a new phone to replace it anyway. I shut it off, took out the battery, sd card and sim card to put into the new phone. I then turned it back on, and it seemed to boot ok, but once it was completely booted up, the screen was blank. If I hit the power button to wake it up, the screen would turn on for about 1 second and then shut off. Never any longer. I don't need to get the phone back to working condition, I just need to put it back to factory settings. I was planning on selling it on ebay and would like to eliminate any personal info that is on there first. Any way I can do this? The phone is not rooted. Not unlocked, does not have a ROM or any modifications on it. Exactly stock. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Thanks.
if you hold volume down and power does it load into the boot loader screen? If so you can just select factory reset.
So earlier yesterday I was on my phone (T-999 S3, rooted, PAC-man rom) when suddenly the screen just went black and my phone turned off. It didn't even reboot, it just stayed off.
I thought it was a little odd, so I tried to turn it back on and it would get to the logo screen and the screen would go black and the phone would shut off, and it wouldn't reboot like in other cases.
I tried to go into recovery but it would turn off after the logo popped up, I cant even get into download mode because after I press volume up to initiate download mode, it turns off. Ive owned this phone for about 13 months and this has never happened to me before. What should I do?

This is an issue with the power button, which is exactly what I'm working on right now for my wife's phone. I ordered the button and received it a couple days ago. About to install it now.
Good way to test is remove the battery, then put it back. If it tries to turn on by itself, then it's almost certain it's the power button.
Let us know how easy the replacement goes in! Good luck on it!

I've been using CM10.1 for some time now without any major problems, but recently my phone fell like half a meter from a table and after that it started behaving weirdly:
1. The SIM was not recognized anymore (i just found out that the SIM card is faulty, as other phones do not recognize it aswell)
2. The phone keeps randomly rebooting(even after fullwipe and updating to CM10.2) after press the power button to either wake the phone or turn the display off.
I have literally no idea what could be the cause of the second problem, as It does not happen everytime I press it, but just randomly from time to time.
Thanks for any help in advance!
EDIT: I should probably also mention, that if I constantly wake the phone via the QWERTY keyboard and let it fall into standby automatically the reboots do not happen.
my phone was working fine until this morning it kept restarting over and over by itself. Normally it goes back to normal when I take out the battery and put it back in and restart the phone but when I would do that it would start to boot up as soon as I put the battery back in before I even pressed the power button. when I left it alone for a while it would stay on but the screen would turn itself on and if it was on to long the phone would turn itself off. when i managed to switch the screen to turn off after 10 sec the phone would stay on but still turn the screen off and on. Then I plugged it into my laptop and scaned my phone and found nothing. After that my phone was working fine and didn't shut itself off. I am able to use it like normal but the screen still continues to turn off and on by itself every couple of seconds. Can someone please tell me if there is a way to fix this?!!!
