I dropped my Galaxy S 3 LTE, it worked well for about 2 weeks, but then i could not turn it on, when i did, the screen was all fuzzy and i couldnt even hear the sounds it should make when i press the volume rocker. However, it did let me get into download mode. Any suggestions?
Is the screen fuzzy in download mode?
Well, I got the same issue 2 months ago! I dropped my phone! Works okay for 3 weeks! And then glitches and problem in the screen!
This is the fix:First tell me when you put your phone charging the issue stop? If yes you need to change the battery quickly
That s it! Hope I helped u
no, even when I put it in charge, fuzzy

Hmm, I think it's either sudden death syndrome or you damaged the eMMC chip when you dropped it.
If the battery isn't the issue, it's probably some damaged memory modules, which would be bad. See if you can flash a recovery.

When you say vibration, do you refer to vibration as haptic feedback or the one when you receive a phone call? Have you checked the setting?
You also might want to check if it's hardware or software related. Go to hidden menu (3845#*880#), ELT test, choose Manual mode, and choose Vibrator. If it vibrates, you can rest assured it's software related. Reflashing your phone might just fix it.

Well, if it's hardware related stuff, there's nothing much we can do. I think what you're doing is the best possible thing to do right now. Good luck. Hope your device will be just fine

Hey Guys,
I apologise for the long Title but I coudlnt figure out a better way to to title the thread...
anyways I went to bed and plugged in my phone as per usual with an alarm set for 1230pm. come 1230pm, alarm goes off, i snooze it until 1pm. The next time it goes off, the alarm sounds for about a split second and then its off - I didnt turn it off.
So obviously i am a bit concerned since this has never happened before. I check the device and its off. Mind you this entire time the phone is plugged into the wallcharger from HTC.
I think its a random reboot (which i have never had before) and try to reboot the phone - nothing happens.
I try the hard reboot - nothing
The lights, both soft keys and LED for power will not even turn on or respond. Plugging it into a computer, it isnt recognized. Its as if the device is just dead. The power was at 100% too.
I would like to add that it is currently plugged in. I am hoping it simply, inexplicably lost power (happened on my Xperia T) and i have to give it some long-term juice. It does get a bit warm while plugged in right now.
it was running CM10.1 nightly 5-20.
does anyone have any insight or advice for this?

This is the 3rd incident that I know of a phone dieing. Mine was one, then there was another, and now you. All running CM 10.1. When Mine died I was transferring files via usb with the computer so I figured something fried in there (weird but the only explanation at the time). I came here for help too. That phone is long gone at this point. The thing is that I was told it's very very hard to brick a phone like that with S-on.
I don't know. I do love CM but i'll be waiting for a stable build before I go back again. GL to you. I had it it returned under the pretense that it was a hardware failure.The other guy who's phone also bricked said that there is some sort of issue with the batteries or something. I haven't confirmed that with anyone.

You can try to scan the cm 10.1 forum. they are pretty unforgiving if you brick your phone. Try to get a logcat to them so they can take a look at it (sarcasm). They completely ignored my post (I had the alpha when it crashed and burned). He the other guy also posted there and they did go back and forth for a few post, but they squashed it pretty quickly. I haven't checked any of the AOSP forums, so it may not be CM 10.1 at all. It could very well be hardware issues. Either way, with S-off its very hard to do something like this and I'm really more convinced its hardware. But unless it can be confirmed that AOSP didn't cause the issue, then i'll hang on to my doubts and wait for something more stable. I give maybe a month or 2.

custom kernals running sense based roms and a launcher should tide me over till then. With desense version coming out and s-off soon, it should make AOSP roms more solid.

Thanks, I am dead certain its hardware related myself. I am going to leave this plugged in, maybe it really needs to get properly charged (its happened to me with my old Xperia T where it went into deeeeeep sleep due to power loss), so i will be keeping it plugged in until Monday and then taking it Rogers, thankfully i bought a warranty for just this sort of crap happening.

after you let it charge for a few hours unplug it put it under a bright light and hold power+volume down and see if it boots to bootloader. i know a few people have had this issue and the phone came back on. all said there was no charging led and wouldnt do anything

well when I had mine I tried leaving it plugged in for a day, but I didn't put it under bright light. I didn't notice a fast discharge with mine either. It was plugged into the usb port to my computer and I was transferring files. I could have missed it though, I mean I was around 90% at the time and wasn't too worried about the charge.

I have a new one in the mail for a swap...I have had no luck whatsoever with any tricks.
...and they sent me a device with a scratched up screen :/
does anyone know if a similar issue to mine was fixed? either on XDA or somewhere else? i really just want to get back to my own One
I had this happen to mine. No fix I've seen works, they just replaced mine with new one. If they sent you scratched replacement all I can say is complain and demand another one.

So you guys have cm10.1 installed when it happened? just want to confirm it occurs only with phones with cm10 installed, and not with Stock rooted sense! I don't want to end up like this, so I'll avoid cm roms for now, I'll stick with Sense only, and If the problem occured with Stock rooted sense, I will not even root my phone
Can you guys confirm this?
Thanks in advance,
cheers
hello everybody!! I have a GT-N7000 with stock rom and 3 days ago it has become completely dead! there was 50% in the battery, so after 10 minutes i came and found it turned off so i tried to turn it on and it turned on but it froze at the samsung logo screen and tried rebooting 3 times but it didn't work. and now its completely dead it acts like its water damaged but it isn't. So after all that I went to Montreal GSM for a fix but they diagnosed the problem to be water damage so I told them okay fix it, and when i came to get my phone back he told me that this wasn't the problem! so now i have my phone with me and dunno what to do with it!could it be the mother board?and if its the mother does anyone know how much does it cost to replace it in samsung service center in montreal? Thank you guys!!!
yeah and two more things I tried another battery but nothing worked
and there was a screen showing up during rebooting and something strange was written on it " some custom roms might fail the system" somthing like that. i'm not sure cuz it only showed up for 2 sec.
thank u again
Motherboard is pretty expensive. No download mode also? Make sure there is a charged battery. Remove the battery and reinsert it. Press volume down + home + power. Anything at all?

When I was trying to do MID change, part of the process puts the phone in QHUSB_DLOAD mode, I ended up getting out of it by shining a bright light on it a few times with it plugged into the computer and having a device manager open so I can see any changes. It took a few tries, but it got detected eventually.
Try that as well.

Hi, Thanks for the reply!! Im willing to try ANYTHING...the light was directed at the proximity sensors? and were u holding the power button? because if i hold the power button it goes in and out of the qhsusb mode but if i dont it just stays there
Correct that's what was happening to me too. Yes shine the light on the sensor. I will suggest keep trying. You don't have much to lose, unfortunately

No more qhsusb_dload it just refreshes over and over...i saw on a thread that some guy left his plugged in for 4 days and it came back on. Whats the chance of that happening for me?

hi guys,
i am in a trouble, today afternoon i left my phone home downloading a big file.
battery would finish by the end of the downloading
as expected, when i returned, the phone was switched off.
so i connected the device to charger. sometimes, it happens and i connect it to charger.
i did the same and took the phone after,half an hour,to switch on.
but, i was shoched to see Samsung Galaxy SIII MINI logo was dimmed with a blue shade.
i could see,PAC man boot animation hardly,after that nothing was visible.
i had set brightness less than the half. when i went to,dark side,of my room. i understand display still ON, but display had. some problem.
so, i managed to set,the brightness to maximum and see,things. thats how i make this thread.
i entered to recovery and cleared cache and dalvik but no siccess.
but,display is still bad abnormally.
i,want,to know if the same experience you had before or,not.
also reflashing rom will give any change.
i,am,quite sure that the phone had never fell down,
please reply friends
