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?!!!

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 am experiencing this issue since the last two days, the cell would turn off automatically without any warning and will not turn on or charge for some time which can be a few seconds to hours. Here are my observations :
1. The phone will turn off when its screen is off. I have tried charging with the screen on for 2 hours and it didnt turn off as soon as i took off and put it on stand by it turned off again in a few minutes
2. Firstly the cell will not turn on neither will it charge once it shuts itself down, but when it does turn on it will display htc logo then turn off again. you will have to try turning it on a couple of times till it finally turns on. After turning on the phone will again shut down in matter of minutes. also date and time will be reset.
I have tried factory reset but didnt work out. Also vol button + power button combo doesnt work when the phone is not turning on. I have checked fourms but none of the described methods seem to work.
Any clue what might be causing it and how can it be solved. Thank You
Hello,
I am having an issue with my S 3. It is not booting up as it should. The model is SGH-1747M.
I have tried the following and have had the following results:
1) The phone is non-responsive when attempting to power it on with the power button.
2) If I remove the battery, with the phone not plugged in, and then put the battery back in, the phone begins to power on by itself. It vibrates once and then loads to the Samsung screen and then goes off.
3) If I plug the phone in without the battery, the phone vibrates once and the red charging light comes on but then goes off after a couple seconds.
4) If I plug the phone in without the battery, and then insert the battery as soon as the red light comes on, the charging screen comes on but then the phone goes off after a couple seconds.
5) If I put the battery in with the phone unplugged and hold Volume Down, Power and the Home Button, the phone boots to the screen where you can push up on volume to flash new firmware. If I stay on this screen without pressing anything, the phone turns off after a couple seconds. If I push up on the power button, it goes to the screen with the green android man but then turns off after a couple seconds.
6) If I put the battery in with the phone unplugged and hole Volume Up, Power and Home and then release them on the Samsung screen, blue writing pops up in the top left corner (I couldn’t read quick enough what it says) while still on the Samsung screen and then it loads to a screen saying Samsung Galaxy S III and then the phone turns off.
These problems started when I attempted to connect my phone to my laptop to transfer songs over to it. I connected the phone and the battery was charging, but it wasn’t showing up as connected on my laptop. So, I turned the phone off to restart it but when I went to turn it back on, these issues started.
The phone was rooted and has been for the last 7 months without any changes to the firmware or updates to the firmware in that time period and has not encountered any problems prior. I’m not sure what firmware the phone was on prior to this.
If anyone could offer any assistance with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I'm no expert, but it looks like a faulty/stuck power button. It's normal for the phone not to completely boot up when it is powered off and then plugged in to USB. But it is not normal for the phone to reboot itself when in recovery or in Android. That's why I think the power switch might be the cause.
Hey dudes, check it out bruhs my phone is kinda acting up.
The story goes one day i was using my phone while it was charging, then it turned off and i thought maybe the battery is low. I left it charging overnight thinking it was the battery only but sadly it wasn't. I tried to boot it and failed. Now every time i try to turn on my phone it will shut off by itself. As soon as i put the battery on my phone it automatically boots without pressing any button and shuts off after a couple of seconds. (I've tried a different battery no luck still) Any help would be
much appreciated thanks a lot!:crying:

Can you enter Download Mode?
"Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time."

Hi. So after a long wait I got my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML today. The first thing I did was turning it on and it turned on normally, then I proceeded to make the initial setup (logging into google account, etc) without any problems. Then after about 10 minutes of use the phone suddenly turned off with the battery being at around 35% and didn't want to turn on again. I read that old firmware (like the one that comes default with the phone) had battery display errors so I thought the phone had run out of battery, so I charged it for 8 full hours and I unplugged it now. To my surprise the phone is not turning on either. The only way I can make the screen show something is by connecting it to the charger, it vibrates and displays a white battery icon, eventually changing to fully green (fully charged battery, the green led indicator also appears) only to disappear like 3 seconds after. Can't turn the phone on while charged and can't even make the phone show the battery icon again (unless I unplug and plug again, repeating the cycle). So, what can I do to turn it on?
Thanks in advance.

I have a feeling that you did not hold the power button long enough. Disconnect the charger first, and wait for about 10 seconds. Then, hold the power button for at least 6 seconds. The phone should then vibrate and then you may release the power button. Other reasons why your phone may not seem to be turning on at all might be due to the back cover not being fully locked in, thus not making any contact with the power on the motherboard itself.
Do report back the results.

I did. Doesn't work. I also removed the back cover and pressed the power button with nails with no results either. Personally I think there's something to do with the power button as it doesn't even responds while charging (pressing it should display the battery icon) and the only time I could use the phone it didn't work to wake up the phone or setting it to sleep, only double tapping worked. What is strange is that it worked the first time I turned on the phone though.
Are you able to get into FastBoot mode? If so please try performing a hardware reset including wipe cache partition. Please see the following:
