[Q] flaahlight stays on all the time?! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, i have a big problem with my brother's s3. It is borderline possible hardware malfunction but i hope we can fix it.
Anyways i flashed resurrection remix rom on his s3 and than one night his flashlight turned on and stayed on for whole night!! Than when he woke up turned it off and than it was ok for few days , and now again it stays on all the time.
I reflashed android revolution hd and it still stays on.
Factory reset has been done with no help.
It turns on right after samsung logo shows after turning the phone.
So u think it is rime for unroot and taking it to shop for replace?
Thanks for help

Please help!!

Hi all.. this morning I noticed a tiny or rather really small lump on the Battery cover of my phone.. I can feel it when I run my fingers over the phone where the phone details are printed on the Kevlar skin..
Is it normal or is there something wrong with my phone(battery maybe)? Please help..

Has the phone been over heated ? Do you have a warranty? If so call and get it replaced.
It gets heated (42-47 degree) after10-15 minutes of 3G browsing. .
The phone its under warranty and what should I tell the Motorola people to get the phone exchanged under warranty?
Thanks a lot!!

Took the phone to the service center.. They saw the phone and said its heating up badly.. They took the phone and said that they will have it under observation for two days. So will update you guys once it comes back.
And BTW they said that all RAZRs will have a tiny bump on the backside, they said that its the battery connectors and it will be there. Not sure if we was saying the truth or not!!:-(

[Q] display problem:screen not showing anything

Hi friends...this is the first thread by me so far and that too bcoz i cant sort out my problem by myself.
so the problem is with my neoV's screen...first it started a few times while scrolling through lists...then anytime touching any option...the display showed vertical coloured lines starting from the top coming down and went blank in 1.5 seconds...then nothing...everything on the screen gives respond on touch but i cant see anything...just blank black screen.
at first the problem went away when locking the screen and unlocking after a minute...but now...it persists even after reboots...i cant even see the boot screen...nor the recovery options...so no way to do anything.
i changed kernels via fastboot, dried the device with hair drier...only repairing with pc companion or flashing stock ftf is left...but i think the problem is not software related.
i think i have damaged my screen by charging from a samsung charger.
i will update the findings after flashing a ftf or repairing with pc companion.
any of you have any idea about the problem?
thanks.
well, I think same as you, hardware problem, LCD passed away..
PCC or .ftf and to the service center.
btw, why you mean it's caused by samsung charger?

coincidence I would say..
Though my friend is having problem with one old slide samsung when charging it with SE charger, phone freeze, restart and lose sms's but that's not coincidence as it happens everytime when she charge it with SE charger... strange indeed.

in my case...i cant authentically say it is bcoz of the samsung charger...anyway...downloading .431 ftf...very slow conection...then if the problem persists...i will have to relock the bootloader to take it for service.
but i fear they may ask for the charger...and if i take the torn charger to them...they will straight away refuse to repair under warranty...and buying a new charger will be costly...sony equipment is always costly...and i think it would be better to repair my charger by myself and replacing the display.

Don't worry, they wont ask you that. You are claiming warranty for phone, not charger
In none of service center I've been to, charger was need to be given.

[Q] S3 died in pocket - wont switch on, no download mode/recovery no nothing

This morning my S3 was working fine, fully charged over night and functioned as normal. Sent a text, put it in my pocket and went about my business. Checked the time half an hour or so later... still fine. Came to make a call an hour after that, the screen was off and i couldn't get it to switch back on.
My first thought was that it must not have charged over night, plugged in charger and tried again but still nothing. Luckily the misses has an S3 also so I tried her battery in mine and vice verca... her phone switch on with my battery and was still charged... mine still did nothing at all with her battery in. Absolutly nothing!
I can't get anything out of it... wont switch on, no download mode, no recovery, laptop wont pick it up via usb. Its not like it banged anything whilst in my pocket as i was just sat watching TV and an hour ago it was fine.
Anyone had this or know what to do? Is it worth making a JIG to try and force download mode even though no button combo does anything at all? (believe me i've tried them all!)
Phone is rooted and *was* running a custom ROM with no problems. Does it need a trip to a service center? If it has to go for a warranty repair is there any way they can tell root/ROM if no download mode/ recovery?
I could understand if I f***ed it up when flashing something but as I say I was doing nothing at the time.
Thanx in advance for any info!
Theirs a thread started called "borrow a jig near you" if you cannot access download, recovery or anything I think that's the only option you have or the dreaded service centre lol

Happened to mine. Totally dead, was sitting on desk so wasn't touched between last use.
Sent it to Samsung (Regenersis) who replaced a power management IC and the main board.
Sadly it returned with very poor cell reception so went back, and has since come back still with poor reception, scratches, and lint under the camera glass! Not too happy with Samsung's repair centre atm!

If it returned with more problems, you can ask for a replacement.
You don't think I have already?! Haha
So far my pleas are falling on deaf ears. Spent several hours on the phone to them when it come back, before I got someone who would escalate it further and am waiting for their response

Cheers for the replies. Looks like it's off to the service center for a fix and some added problems.
Just hope they can't check the flash counter or ill be paying for it!
EDIT: just spoke to my carrier and because its only a few months old they will replace if free of charge!
Anyone know if it will still have all my personal info on it or is it too dead to talk to anyone?

If they replace it, they will send it to the service centre at their expense so it will be wiped anyway

Sent my 800 for repair, they sent it back untouched!

Hey guys,
Just thought I'd share this experience with you guys in case someone else has had the same issue.
I've got a Nokia Lumia 800 with a faulty Charge/USB flap which keeps falling off when open, and doesn't sit flat when closed. Made a repair request through Nokia's website which all went swimmingly smooth until a week later when the phone was returned to me, untouched. They even had the nerve to attach a flyer about how this is my new "repaired or replaced phone which has been repaired under warranty".
I know what you're going to ask: how do I know they haven't done anything? Well the phone has the same IMEI for start, but the part that was faulty (the charger flap) has a tiny little mark on it, which I have photographic proof of, and the returned phone has the same mark.
So even though I specified in great detail the fault of the phone which I included in the package to Nokia, they have done nothing more than factory reset the phone and sent it on it's way back.
Think on Monday morning somebody's going to get their head bitten off.
.....and yes, the charge flap still falls off.
Nokia sucks in after service. In past had the same experience

As daft as it sounds i wish mine came back untouched. we put in the repair ticket that if phone data needed to be deleted, call me to discuss. I heard heard nothing and got a fresh flashed phone.
This meant i couldn't restore the backup made before it was sent!! fuming and after 2 weeks they still wont help!

[Q] Dropped Xperia U now blank screen

Hi everyone, last night my friend dropped his Xperia U from a chair to the floor, and now the screen is all blank, it light up but nothing shows up, and the phone works on the background, you can hear the sounds, and the vibrations of the touchscreen
I tried to open it up and see if something was unplugged, but everything seems to be fine, any advice??
Is there something I can do, before taking it to a Repair Service?? It will be cheaper just to buy a new phone??
Thanks in advance n_n
So this a hardware problem....it can only be repaired by service center...so just take it there... If you are rooted then try to unroot it...but it's not necessary...I mean ofcourse after rooting you loose your warranty...but don't worry take it there..tell them that it was an accident and if they ask about rooting and other stuff just act dumb like you don't know anything..I hope everything will workout just fine
