Tmobile galaxy s3 won't stay on - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Ok so i spend 2 hours looking for a similar problem and potencial tricks to fix it with no aveil..... basically if i turn on my phone without being connected to a charger, the phone will show the samsung logo and shutdown after 2 seconds. Now if i connect it to the charger the phone will start but shutdown as i approach to slide it... then tried getting into recovery mode without the charger and it woul'd just show the blue guy ( clockwork) for 1 second and shutdown... then i tried getting into recovery mode with the charger connected and it worked so i wiped the cache and wiped the data.. so after the formating was done i disconnected it and turned it on and still same problem... so i plug the charger and turn it on again, now iam in the welcome screen and as it get to the setting up of wifi screen, it shuts down but if i stay in the welcome part it will stay on??? and never shutdown unless i finish the set up, after clicking finish the phone will shutdown!!!
- Tried everything, ranging from pulling the battery for 30 minutes to fully charging it.. which i noticed that it wont fully reach to top..
- However the phone does allows me to to get into download mode without the charger being plugged in
- Its a galaxy s3 from tmobile on 4.3 firmware rooted
- All of this happened because i left a game open while it was connected to pc.. it looks like the phone needed more energy than the pc was providing so it drained the battery.. when i woke up it was charging with a thermostat sign ( yes it was very hot)
battery lasted a whole day so i dont think its a dead battery

It should like a duff battery

TD2 acting wierd after running out of battery

I just want to report 'accident' I had 2 hours ago.
I was running out of battery so I pluged it into my laptop.
But wasn't to fast with adjusting option 'charging while hooked in PC' so battery went down.After this I manage to switch it on and charging when on...I went out for 15 min and when I returned TD2 started to switch on and off...only the touch diamond 2 sign (with vibration) appeared and after 2 sec it switch off....constantly!!!
I went crazy...when I pulled the pug out it was dead...couldn't even switch it on.I pluged it in again and again the same behaviour....
Then I tryed hard reset but without success!!!
I almost ****ed my pants...
then I got the message that 'power is too low to operate'
So I used regular charging method and after 2 1/2 hours battery was recharged...Now I switched it on and it works...seems everithing is normal
If you run into same problem don't panic!!!!
things like this doesnt happen on D2 only, but happens on all electronics which required power... it happens to my nokia all the time... when batt is low, it switches off... when i turn on, it would start and stay for a couple of second, then off again.... it will keep doing that until batt turns empty....
when the batt is really really low or empty, it does take a few moment to charge up the batt to a level enough for the system to operate.... hence, you cant even turn on your phone during this time...
I wouldn't charge when in sync with PC. I've read that it isn't so good for the battery, so I disabled charge when connected to PC (settings - all settings - battery)

Help, phone wont charge after reboot

Hello, when I got my g1 it wouldn't charge phone would boot up when it was plugged in the light would come on and it would display "charging 0%" on the lock screen and would shut off whenever it was unplugged, with some messing around, rebooting removing reinstalling battery and plugging and unplugging the phone I managed to get it to start charging, all was great other than the battery only lasted like 3 hours, and whenever the phone lost power either by pulling the battery or even shutting it off properly it would revert back to 0% and wouldn't charge again till I messed with it and it would work again, so I ordered a new battery, when it came in I installed it and everything was awesome, I could restart the phone or remove the battery flash roms all that good stuff like it was supposed to, till yesterday, I have had the replacement battery about a month now and my phone was running low on charge since I wouldn't be home for a while I shut it down to save it for later, I was walking by the phone sitting there and I saw the back light turn on and off so I thought dang back to the same ol problem, tried to turn it on and just a dim red led and no power on, when I got home plugged it in let it charge for a few min and held the power button I got the red led and it finally turned on to "charging 0%" I was mad at it tested voltafe at battery terminals and phone terminals plugged in power everywhere it should be but still no turn on, I didn't my messing around again and got it to charge but it was back to 3 hour or so battery life and it would be at 0% if I shut it down, I don't think its the connection with the battery because I haven't removed it in a good 3 weeks or shut the phone off since my last flash 3 weeks ago.
It did this with the first battery before I rooted but here's current setup
Phone is black g1 drea100
Rom htc adp-drc83 rooted base with exp pack
Radio 2.22.19.26I
Recovery ra-dream-v1.5.2
Thanks for any help

i had the same problem no charge and wouldnt booted up....but i took the battery out then placed it back in then charged it then turn it back on it worked fine for me....??
your usb port could be dead, you can try to charge the battery on a separate charger and put it into the phone and see if it works.
I have read here that some have had success in this situation by plugging into wall outlet, pulling battery while plugged in, putting battery back in while still plugged in. Havent tried it myself and cannot vouch for it personally. All risk is your own.
Hey I had the same problem, and it has happened a few times now. Remove your SD card, Replace your battery, plug your phone in: outlet or usb to computer. Attempt to power on, wait till led comes on, hit the power button. (mine did turn on but it would go to the nexus X and then restart). Then unplugged it, (my phone turned off when i did unplug it) then and use your regular power on and it turned on and did a long boot up process. I let it completely boot and then did a power down. Replaced the SD card and it was business as usual.
Hope it helped.
hey
thanks for the help guys i will try these

Nevermind. I feel so dumb right now

My Xperia is rooted, has recovery and the bootloader is unlocked, I use the stock ROM.
It went smoothly (done it several months ago), but yesterday, the battery emptied so I put it on charge. Today I tried to turn it on, but it didn't work; whenever I press the power button, the LED blinks red. I tried fastboot and flashmode, but none of it works. My PC detects it as an unknown device when I try to turn it on. once
If that helps, it turns on once in a while with CWM.
Anyone can help?

EDIT: looks like I used a loose cable and the battery didn't charge at all. God, I feel so dumb.

hello;
I had the same problem , I searched on the web for solutions and found something like charging phone overnight , key combinations but nothing helped; my phone was completely dead ; but I did something and phone is now alive; I removed screw of the phone , opened panel; removed battery connector and connected phone to wall charger , by this time phone showed sony logo like on startup , then immediately connected battery connector and left phone to charge for several minutes ; it was showing only sony logo when was charging, after 15-20 minutes disconnected phone from charger , screen went off and after this i reconnected charger, it showed battery screen and started charging with battery and thunder logo; thats all, it was the only solution for me.

Turned out that the cable I used is loose and it didn't charge or anything

[Q] Question about CyanogenMod 11

Hello, XDA developers. As you may see, this is my first post, but I would like you to tell me what happened with my cellphone.
Something weird happened with my S Advance after I rooted it and installed CyanogenMod 11. I was playing on it, as I changed MinFree settings and overclocked the processor and wanted to check how the performance increased. Suddenly, the phone abruptly shut off without showing the traditional dialogue box that should appear.
When I took the phone to connect it to my battery pack I waited for like 5 minutes and the battery symbol never appeared; after that I tried to turn it on but it didn't work either. As soon as I arrived home, I connected a proper charger to the S Advance and, still, it didn't respond at all.
About one hour later I took the phone and now, when I tried to turn it on (in normal and recovery mode), it would only vibrate for a few seconds, as if it was actually turning on - with the difference that nothing was happening. The only boot mode that I could enter to was the download mode.
Saddened because I thought it was bricked, I came to my room and plugged it to my computer. The screen instantly showed the battery charging sign, and when I turned it on everything was normal. I used my wall charger to try, and it keeps working fine.
I understand that when a phone battery reaches 0%, and you try plug it to a charger you need to wait like 10 minutes to actually turn it on. But in this case was an hour! And when I finally turned the phone the battery was at 0%.
Could you tell me what happened (for potential future ocasions)?
