Try rebooting the phone at first, if that did not help do a data factory reset. After that if not solved you might reflash a stock rom. Still no remedy, take it to the shop/repair center.

Turn off power saving mode, you don't need to root the s3 it's perfect the way it is.

Am I missing something here? At what point did they even mention rooting the phone? And rooting is still the best way of disabling bandwidth hungry ads in apps.

What type of flickering? This may sound stupid, but it is a legit question. Try making a photo of it.
If it is going downwards in bar-like formation, it's the display.
If it is blinking, it is Android, or a loose connection...

Same here. Flashed the early AOKP ROM and had problems with the .gapps FCs so I flashed back the stock ROM. I hope we can make some headway on resetting the flash counter.
Anybody else?

Call yourself from your home phone to your cell phone, accept the call then click the home button, try to get into the camera.
Tada, much easier than waiting for an answer here T_T, lazy butts.

Basically I rooted it, flashed cwm and then when I tried to flash a rom, the installation failed so I just decided to reboot the phone. It was at that point that it just wouldn't turn back on, not even into recovery. I did get a new one though

If it beeps when connected, it is on. I guess the AMOLED Screen broke.

Stock Samsung should not have this problem, known issue in CM and AOSP if I am not wrong though. Did you try wipes?

If you've flashed back to stock with a factory reset and it's still the same then probably hardware failure.

See the stickied How to return to stock for warranty guide .
Your phone vendor or Samsung will tell you if the repair is under warranty .

Hmm. Try redownloading the ROM from other place you can Google it and also while downloading and transferring file to the phone may also occur the problem like that.

If you have read the basic faqs and guides and in particular the Freezing thread then your next step is a service centre .

throw the stock rom back on there and see if you have the same prob,if you do may be hdwr,if you dont then its software,at least you will narrow it down and know what direction you need to go.

I've done all that and put slimbean 8 on, it keeps freezing but not has much. Think it will have to go back to the service centre
