I received an over the air update which I hit install. Ever since then the phone would freeze 30sec into startup and would have to take out the battery. It would finally work but constantly restarts its self. I downloaded Samsung Kies 2.6 and got the firmware updated. The phone still constantly restarts its self. I need help. Sorry if this is a repetitive question but I did try to search threads for an answer. Thank You.

Seriously, the issue probably isn't the update. Those phones have a notoriously bad power button. I had 3 of them die in a similar way.

So I was using my phone yesterday and all of a sudden it shut off. Now it won't boot. Every time I try to go into recovery or do a hard reset I just reboots.
I am running the latest update from sprint non rooted

If it has any power at all its not bricked, if it's just bootlooping and you can't get into the os, recovery, or download mode you'll have to bring it to Sprint

If it comes on, u are Ok. Just go into download mode and Odin back to stock or if u can get into recovery, just refresh what ever rom u are running if u are rooted

The battery might be dead....do you have another battery to try?
Does it go to the Samsung logo then stops?

You already have some good people asking and giving you suggestions. Just one more, questions go in Q&A not general.

This happing to me, the phone stays for few secs and the shuts of. I can boot into recovery and download mode but it will still reset before I can do anything. I thinks its a hard ware issue

Thanks to all for the advice. I have tried going into Odin mode to do that download thing but it just ends up rebooting. 99% of the time it just turns off says Samsung and then shuts off. I cannot get into Odin mode or recovery and I am running stock non rooted

Check your power button, I have read about this in the past. It turned out to be a faulty power button that stays pressed in causing it to Reboot. Play with the power button make sure it's not sticking if you have a case on it take it off.

This happened to me Friday same exact thing. Took it to sprint they couldn't even get it to boot so I ended up with a replacement.

I took out the power button and now it works. I downloaded an app that uses the proximity sensor to turn the screen off. Will sprint replace the power button?

Can't you put it back in just making sure it doesn't stick anymore? If not then yes take it in, it's definitely a hardware failure.
Transmitted with a portable device using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
Well I think it's the actual button inside the phone cause when I put it back in, the button sticks and it goes into a bootloop

this issue is called the "sudden death"
it just happened to me and i shipped my phone to samsung to get fixed.
My vibrator died. I even did a factory restore but that didn't help.
Any ideas I don't think phone is under warranty any longer.

Try using Kies and doing an emergency firmware update. It will ask you to input a model number. For AT&T it is SGH-I747 with caps and everything exactly as I wrote it. See if that helps your issue first.

This may or man not help, but my Captivate would sometimes do this with certain updates. I even thought about trying to replace the motor the first time and then after I updated to a different rom it was back again. Or maybe it was just a re-install. Either way, it did come back and I think it happened again once or twice as I tried lots of roms on that phone.
Ever since I took the OTA OE1 update my screen will randomly turn on for the 2 seconds or so then turn off, as if the power button is getting pressed. It is completely random and doesn't happen often but it has happened twice today alone. I know it could possibly be an app which is causing this, is there a way to find the culprit? I am stock unrooted. Thanks.
Yes that's why oe3 is coming

I should have screencapped the update screen. There were a couple other minor things.

Seemed to solve the wireless charging issues. Was able to use mine yesterday for a half hour to top off. Had no problems overnight,woke up to a full charge
Completely has my battery life and charge times all wonky. I'm literally losing battery as I charge. I'm not using any resource intensive applications or doing anything out of the ordinary. My battery dies much faster than before the update (subjective and just a feel) and despite testing on multiple outlets in multiple places, I no longer have the ability to 'fast charge'... I gave it it time and power cycles to settle... Rolling back NOW...

As far as i know you cannot go back. You can try a factory reset.

Tried that and it automatically updates during the setup process...

For me, it had no impact except saying "fast charging" on the lock screen vs just charging.
But my phone does drain faster over night a tad bit more often.

Do you still have Fast Charging abilities?
Yes that is working fine. But I did get an oddity related to charging or usb port. Phone went nuts beeping and saying dock connected over and over. When it stopped it would not fastcharge, rebooted and all was fine.

Apparently this was supposed to work, but no one with the AOI6 update has confirmed yet.
