Hi. I'm in a bit of a pickle.
I took the phone in the shower with me (since it's advertised as water-resistant) and while I was in there it vibrated 3 times and shut itself down. Now whenever I try to turn it on it shows me a red LED light then vibrates 3 times as well. Same thing happens when I try to put it in fastboot mode or when I try to charge it.
Any ideas?
Can you get into the recovery? If you can I'd suggest a data wipe. Power button and then the volume up.

I ended up putting it in a bowl of rice, worked out just fine. Had to reset it though. Felt slow after it turned on.
Thanks for replying.

have you been able to solve the problem. i have the same problem and my phone is not turning on:crying:

so, while listening to music the other day on my new evo rockin' cm7 rc2, the volume would turn up, but not down, so I decided to take out the battery. I left it out for a second, and when I put it back in, the phone would not turn on.
I took it to the car, and let it charge for about three hours, then tried to turn it on.. the phone just vibrates 3 times, and starts blinking the green light like there's a message, but the screen never turns on.
When I try to boot it into recovery, the phone vibrates 5 times, but still gives me the same result...
So, I was just wondering if my phone is completely gone, or maybe something is wrong with the battery?
Try a new battery first. Are you able to get into recovery?

not sure if you are just being a troll, but your answer is here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865204
it seems that my phone is just stuck i diagnostic mode, anyone know how to disable it.
I know leaving the battery out for a LONG period of time will allow you to boot into bootloader, anyone know how much time?
This started about 2 days ago. At first, I was on Liquid smooth ROM and my phone suddenly turned off, and kept ketting pulse vibrations but would never turn on. I could only get into cwm recovery, so i restored to JMTX2 ROM
Today, It happened again. But now, i cannot even get into the CWM recovery. Someone please help!!
as of now, it just pulse vibrates with a blank screen. (it shows "samsung" and then starts vibrating).
How can i fix this?

Yeah my phone has done that once before, but not with Liquid smooth. I remember it just giving me a blank screen with vibrations that didnt stop. I couldn't tell you what caused it or anything but I remember just taking the battery out for awhile, using a different charger (it worked for me), and just letting it stop doing whatever it was doing lol.. It probally went on for like 2 hours or so but I was doing whatever I can to turn it back on. I hope it works for you, just keep messing with it and it should stop eventually. Good luck

From what I've read, sounds like your power button could be stuck.

It was exactly that. I fixed it last night.
Solution: I took a small pin and a small flathead screw driver and picked the edges of power button. eventually it started up again!
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.

Also make sure the power button isn't stuck!

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?

Nice!!!
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

Warranty it. Mess witht power button some more. Sometimes it will get unstuck.
So my HTC One V suddenly got hanged when I was using it. I pressed power button once instead of holding it so the screen was locked. However when I pressed it again to unlock, nothing happened. Holding down power button doesn't work either to reboot. The low bat orange LED is blinking though but nothing else. In my previous phones I would just take out the battery & put it again but this isn't possible with this phone. Please post any suggestions.
I am using this custom ROM: ShenDuOS-v4.1.2-130607-Primou.
Any urgent response would be most welcome. I am worried about it. I tried taking sim & memory card but it didn't worked to wake up phone. Tried calling my One V from another phone but no avail. Please help!

It didn't work. I had to wait for few hours. When the battery drained off completely it forced to power off. Then I was able to switch my phone on after charging. Still I think there might be some other method to resolve such problem instead of waiting for hours for battery to end.

I saw a suggestion in another thread that supposedly worked. Pull out the Sim card. Not sure why it does
Hi...Yesterday i was using my mobile and the battery got low about 8% or 7% percent so i plugged in the charger (it was not my HTC charger) and i slept and when i woke up after 4 hrs my battery was charged it was showing the green light but when i tried to unlock my phone the screen was black and everything else was working the Volume keys,notification led & and its getting connected to the pc...And i tried everything even resetting the phone by pressing the volume and power key but the button lights just blinked and i guess the phone just restarted but still no luck...soo it seems like a hardware issue but could it be my gpu?? and if it is my gpu do i need to get a new motherboard??? or is there any other solution to fix the BSOD?

I've had this issue also. Idk the cause. But try resetting using just power button. When the blinking starts keep holding it until it vibrates or you see the screen come back on. I don't think you held it long enough.
