Dont know have left my phone overnight on charge and touch wood/fingers crossed nothing has happened to it. On Omega v31 with perseus kernel o/cd 1600mhz. No over volt for charge on a/c power but 900mAh on usb charge. Bought mine in the first batch around 25th May.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vs_infinity:
if you can't get into download or recovery mode and even battery is full or replace by a new one and still dosen't turn on then it probably is a hardware brick, have to get a replacement of the motherboard
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randombrick:
The same thing with my phone. Happened the night before last. I wonder if this is a epidemic fault.

I had 98% charge at night and by morning the phone was dead. No response to any button combos, no charging icon, etc. I got mine in the first two weeks of release.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
This thread is kinda worrying.

It looks like the plot from Blindness or The Happening

It would be very useful to know if all these dead devices had something in common, like firmware version, country of manufacturing, root, etc.

I was. I have been running 1.7rc1 for a few weeks now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Night|:
the service center rang me up today, claimed it the reason for it being dead was the cracked display, I told them to go ahead and replace it, only 150$ anyway, I told them to also check the motherboard for errors.

Let see what they say tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klownk:
Mine died today too.

First the LED was red like it was charging. But in fact the buttons didn't work anymore and I wasn't able to turn the screen on.

Then I put the battery out and tried a restart. Now it's complety dead and it doesn't even charge the battery.

We have a warrenty case! :rolleyes:

Uggggh: also just woke to a completely dead S3. It worked fine last night, left it on charge, woke to the green "fully charged" light, but no response to buttons. Pulled the battery to make it reboot, and now nothing. Neither download nor recovery modes, no charging light, nothing. :(

I was using Wanam's latest J5 ROM.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Surely it isn't ROM related? There must be thousands of people running jl4 on their S3 on XDA and only a handful dead.

I think it must be a combination of things or a batch of phones that are faulty.

Dead phone

Here same problem: went to sleep 3 days ago with phone plugged in to charge. Next morning (12-11), phone was dead. No response, only black screen.

I rooted my phone and used Paranoid ROM. I hope this wil not break my warranty...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
It seems that everyone that this has happened to has left their phone plugged in on charge all night. Am I right?

If so it sounds like the safety function of shutting off charge when battery is full is maybe not working properly and so the phone is maybe getting too much power and the internals are frying?

I'm almost every case people have had their phones charging over night and woken to a "green light of death" on led.

Hhhmmm so is it hardware or software related?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alankstiyo:
I did leave my phone charging everynight, but either way, after some days and the phone is not fixed??? maybe it was another thing, who knows
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexboy:
I know it's a long shot but could it be a dud battery not holding charge. Can you get hold of a mates battery to test.

I've had a similar thing when I had my SG2 where the battery just died, wouldn't respond. Tried another battery and all again :)

Sent from my SG3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alankstiyo:
isn´t suppouse to start with just the USB plugged in????

had the same issue with my old x10, but the led turned on even though the battery didnt last long

All off these bricked at night? On charge? May be its a clue.. :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dervish666:
Nope, mine was during the day, I had been using the sat nav in the car, unplugged it and brought it inside. When I tried to turn it on after it had a slow flashing white led but no reaction, then tried different chargers, batteries, a jig and copious amounts of swearing.

Nothing worked.

I've sent it back and according to the Samsung website it arrived in the repair bay yesterday, should be fixed tomorrow.

(Using CM10, UK 3G device)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralphitz:
Another S3 dead, just a couple of hours ago. Running the latest JB update for a few weeks now; unrooted. This morning. it was functioning just fine. After that, I tried turning the screen on but it failed. The LED was still flashing blue, like a new notification had arrived. I disconnected and reconnected the battery. After that, SG3 = a dead phone. No 3-button-combo possible. Since I can see that a lot of S3 die these days, I'm not completely sure if that's coincidence or not. Tomorrow I'll bring it to the store; let's see if the warranty is helpful here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
Possible and it did cross my mind. Just to be on the safe side, I no longer leave my (now repaired) phone connected to the charger for any longer than necessary and unplug as soon as it's charged. Was a bit of a PITA at first as I've been charging my phones overnight since 1998, but I'm now used to the new schedule :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UncleBeer:
Wow. If merely *charging* our phones put them at risk, then Samsung's got a serious problem. :eek:

another one bites the dust

Yesterday evening my phone seemed to be OK. I forgot to put it to charge as I do almost every night. In the morning the LED flash blue (like a SMS or mail notification) but no response from the phone when I tried to wake it. I pulled out batterry and put it back and since that moment it's dead. Tried soft reset, hard reset, different chargers, nothing worked. I bought the phone in the first batch (1st of June), I had only stock firmwares (last one JB DLJ4/DLJ2) on it and never dropped it or washed it. Today I'll go to service for warranty repair or replace. Bought the phone in Romania from Orange but the soft was and is COA (Cosmote)

Later edit: it's white, I don't think the colour matters. I went with it today in Orange Service, it's the motherboard, they'll change it in warranty.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] painterceessie:
Here in the netherlands same problem.

I have the blue one.

What colors have you guys.

My wife has the white one,and no problems.

I send it to the repair center.

Let's hope they will fix it.

UPDATE:

I recieved E-mail from the repair center.

They won't fix the GS3,because the phone has fallen and a print plate is damage,wtf.

That's bad news.

What can you do more,they have the power.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwhooftman:
Mine died yesterday

The day before yesterday, i noticed my Blue S3 got really warm, about half an hour after been taken of the charger. The battery died in less then 5 hours. Putting in another battery showed the same symptoms.

Charging via an USB port on a laptop/pc does not work anymore, because the battery drain is exceeding the power an USB port can deliver. Notice that this is with the phone off! Putting a charged battery in the phone while the phone is off still makes it heat up a little, especially around the power button. It stays warm until the battery is empty. Notice this is still with the phone off. Charging th ephone overnight when on made battery charge up to 6% Whoohoo.

When booting the phone with a charged battery, it heats up but the phone is responsive & working, and no abnormal CPU load is noticed.

So definately a hardware problem, its off to the repaircentre tomorrow.

I bought it on the day it came available in The netherlands, so first batch.

Put my GS3 on charge last night, same charger as always and this morning it was off, no lights and it wouldn't turn on.

I was running the stock 3 UK Jelly Bean firmware with CF Root.

****ing annoying.. I plugged my old S2 in to my computer and it started charging but now it wont turn on either... WTF!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] painterceessie:
Mine died also with the same way.

I brought it to the repair center,and today I got the mail.

In the mail they told me that the screen was defect,digitizer.

That's not warranty they say,WTF

The GS3 can be repaired at the cost of 216 euro:laugh:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00daniyal00:
Which rom u flashed??

I was also stuck at Sony logo and it reboots every time just after sony logo. Then i used flashtool, flashed using "LT15i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel.ftf".....

Now it boot further, but only to XPERIA logo, and then reboots....but certain times i have seen it getting past the logo, like it shows a display asking for pc companion, even the taskbar too with time and blutooth icon on it....but all of a sudden it reboots. i have tried rebooting more than a 100 times, while taking out battery everytime.

Also, I'm not able to get into recovery mode. I tried this using the combination of power on, and when sony logo appears, pressing and releasing volume down repeatedly. I hope i'm doing right.

So what should I do?? am not able to use this phone for a week... :(

Please help me out.:(

Ok got it working. I just unlocked the boot loader from sony bootloader site(sorry couldn't post the link, because of low post count)

So, it booted up but show error as soon as put a sim, that "Unfortunately keypad has stopped working".

I figured out the culprit, it is the build version with i flash it. I reflashed it with LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_kernel.ftf, now it working fine like a charm.

So much relief...!!

Hope this may help someone too...so i shared!!! :)
