If you can, take it to a service center to get an estimate of how much it will cost to fix, then tell us for contributions
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blekota:
OK, I was in service center to ask what should be wrong with the phone and how much would cost repair and the serviceman says maybe charging circuit on motherboard is broken - so MB has to be changed - about $80-100 (repair+servicemen's work), because only authorized Samsung service center can replace the MB. Sorry for bad news... If you'll be so kind to help me, everything is appreciated :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeTuRr74:
There are sure that charging circuit is broken on MB ?

It can provide from the charging port too
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blekota:
I've tried Full wipe, stock ROM, cleaning up the USB port, another chargers, another battery, nothing helped :( So it must be HW fault. The serviceman will let me know, where is the exact problem tomorrow morning.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] monte22:
delete didnt read the above reply
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ariano Ângelo:
Let's see. Can be only the USB port broken.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeTuRr74:
For me its only the charging port piece and nothing related to the MB.

Got the same issue and only changed the charging port and all works fine but i broke my lcd
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blekota:
I've phone call from service center and repair will cost about $65. The USB port, USB cable and the battery will be replaced.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ariano Ângelo:
Quite expensive no? Where do you live?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] miltongina:
Brick

You good have a softbrick or a hardbrick phone, try to go download mode with a jumper in usb port. they have them on Ebay.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ariano Ângelo:
What? My phone is "fine"... well "fine"... it works...

In my opinion, Samsung phones are very bad and Samsung only have marketing. I'll NEVER buy another Samsung phone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blekota:
Official Samsung service is a bit expansive than unofficial services, but I have good experience with it;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ariano Ângelo:
Well, when my vibrator module broke I bought one and changed it myself. But yea your problem requests some serious skill.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blekota:
I've replaced a display of my S3 by myself, it was quite easy. But USB port is more harder to replace and I don't want to break my S3 totally ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ariano Ângelo:
Yes indeed... Project ARA is so good...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobbo888:
Have you tried your charger and battery on your friend's phone? If they work, you can tell the service centre you don't need these two items replacing, so the total cost will be cheaper.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeTuRr74:
Its not hard it only need some toolkits and time thats all ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blekota:
Yes, my battery is almost dead (I recharged it only to 60% in my friend's phone) so it has to be replaced too. $65 was only estimated prize, it should be about $40-65. So If you want to help me, it'll be so helpful and I'll be glad to save my phone for next updates testing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ExTrEmEe:
I had strange problem, hands-free mode (car mode) was constantly turning it self on and off, randomly sometimes it just start by itself, sometimes when i try to type on keyboard, sometimes when charging, then i noticed that i can't turn off phone, it will turn it self on again (yes i use Power Off, but it behave like restart). Tried to take out battery for few minutes then when i inserted battery back, phone started automatically, booted in charging mode, and proceeded to system. Then i thought it's power but bug or something, but when phone is powered on, there is no random reboot, random locking, button is working fine. It finally stopped and everything worked for few hours, then when i tried to charge last night, it started turning hands free mode on and off again, i literally can't do anything on the phone, so i discharged battery completely and cleaned charging port(usb port, there is some dust in there, i think this was causing problems all the time), charged phone to 100 while it's off and for now it's all good.

So i thought maybe it will be good to share this, if someone have same problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobbo888:
I wish I could, but I really need to save money for a possible repair of my own S3, as my random shutdowns are getting worse :( It's the only phone I have so I need it working.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ExTrEmEe:
I had same problem, not shutdowns, but random reboots, it was power button. I ordered two from ebay, for 1-2$, and changed it, now it's fine. But if you have shutdowns (not reboot) then maybe you have bad battery. And changing this button is really really hard, it so small and have 3 contacts, that you hardly see, took me 1 hour to fix it. .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobbo888:
I actually get both shutdowns and reboots, so I don't think it's the power button. It probably is the battery.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Seblight:
Or try other setting in kernel setting app. You can change original kernel too for boeffla.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobbo888:
Which kernel settings do you mean? I'm using Boeffla 7.7
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Seblight:
Yes. Install boeffla setting app from boeffla Internet page (Google search) and try different setting like governor or governor profil.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobbo888:
Thanks, yes I already have the Boeffla Config app. I'm on the default pegasusq, standard profile at the moment, as are many others probably, and I haven't seen anyone else with my problem, so it seems unlikely to be caused by the governor. But I'll try anyway.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ExTrEmEe:
It also can be because of low cpu voltages. find stock voltages and compare with yours.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobbo888:
Do you know where I can find the stock voltages for an ASV level 2 chip? As I understand, each ASV level has a different set of stock voltages (please see this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33406078&postcount=160).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Seblight:
My asv level is 3. What asv and what does it mean?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ExTrEmEe:
Ah didn't know that, thx, mine is ASV level 7.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobbo888:
As I understand, the ASV level signifies the quality of the cpu chip - the higher the number the higher the quality, so lower-ASV chips would require higher voltages than higher-ASV chips to (stably) achieve the same clock frequency.

Boeffla himself explains it in more detail here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49688552&postcount=6

[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobbo888:
Just flashed it. It gets :good::good: from me so far. Here's hoping it will miraculously fix my random shutdowns!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blekota:
Thank you for your attention. Maybe somebody else could help me. My phone should be repaired next week...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Geo_Tech:
Try to observe when the random reboots come i had random reboots from a faulty battery everytime it got to 60-65% the phone restarted and the battery dropped 10% down then when using it while on wifi or vids/music did it again and dropped to 30% where it couldnt stay ON, also screen was kind of flickering just before phone get off. Do you see any similarities if yes then it might be just the battery.

And sorry to Blekota for writting it here, should have PMed :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stepman57:
... but it is also the last! :crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Geo_Tech:
7.6 would have been the last but it get to 7.8... Who knows maybe it is and maybe its not ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobbo888:
Hmm no it's pretty random, not in any particular battery range, but it mostly happens with the Samsung browser, which makes me think it might be the ROM. Just got my first random shutdown even with the new, final Boeffla 7.8 kernel, so that didn't solve it, and I've confirmed that my voltage values are stock for my ASV level, so I'm not undervolting the cpu.

and after all this flashs, one conclusion, the blekota rom is the best. And of course with the latest boeffla kernel v7.9, the power is in your hands...

One ask for you dev, is it possible to have the favourite application in the notifications drawers when you plugged a headset ?

I really like this thing, if anyone know how to have it.

Look at the third post (Addons and Updates) on the first page of this thread. There you will find the 5x5 TW Launcher patch for v 5.1, which is for the homescreen. Be warned, there is a bug so it will mess up the weather widget, if you use the "old" (non-S6) style widget - see screenshot.

So I finally got round to doing a clean flash of 5.1, but I still get random shutdowns, nearly always with the Samsung browser. I even did an advance wipe in TWRP and wiped everything except my external sd card. I'm completely baffled as to the cause of this...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
Then install some third party browser from store and see if that fixes the issue for you

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ExTrEmEe:
mine is working fine, light sensor and proximity sensor. And light sensor only change screen brightness and has nothing to do with you screen on/off during call, proximity sensor is responsible for that. You have option to turn that feature on or off.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobbo888:
I've tried Chrome but it has a few features missing compared to the Samsung browser. You can't save web pages for offline viewing, you have to go through the 3-dot menu to get to the navigation options and bookmarking, instead of the quicker single tap required on the Samsung browser, there's no homepage shortcut, and in form entry, Chrome doesn't display the very useful "Prev." and "Next" buttons above the keyboard for moving between text boxes, like in the Samsung browser. It also displays a useful visual preview of your bookmarked and saved pages, unlike Chrome. The Samsung browser just has a far superior UI and feature set in my opinion. But also, my random shutdowns do occasionally occur during other situations. I just had one while using the camera (opened from a locked lockscreen), then when I clicked the home button to go back to the lockscreen, the phone froze then shutdown, so changing browser will not fix the problem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] relief12:
Sir, i flashed 5.1 rom & stock kernel v5 ( provided by you in addons) but still my s3 is not booting...it stucked at starting samsung logo. What should i do because i have again came back to your 5.0 version rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blekota:
Have you done full wipe?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] megen:
Is there any way to get the stock samsung s3 browser. This version included in the rom is very annoying. It doesn't close tabs automatically even select exit from menu.

I tried to extract app from n00t but didn't work. ?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobbo888:
+1

I would also be interested in this, as the Samsung browser included in this ROM does give me quite frequent force-closes (along with possibly being the cause of my random shutdowns).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] relief12:
Yes i have done full wipe except internal storage, infact i have tried many ways

For example....

1) first flashed stock kernel then 5.1 rom

2) first flashed 5.1 rom then stock kernel

But every time it stucked at starting samsung logo.

Yeah one thing i want to mention here that evry time i flashed 5.1 at last it says" failed to mount e" but rom flashed 100%. But when i flash 5.0 version same error occurs but my s3 boot normally.

Sry for my bad english plz.

Try to flash stock samsung 4.3 ROM, for your region, then boot it, set google account, let it settle for few minutes, then flash Blekota 5.1 with full wipe. Maybe partition table, recovery are bad or something, this should fix it. And which recovery do you use?
