If you have insurance then go thru TMobile, if not, you are screwed. Samsung will not help you or anyone that purchases their products. All you will get is a "software reset" along with a message that it "passed all functional testing"
Check the pins on the usb port on the phone and on the charger, I read someone having an issue and he had some dirt covering on of the pins inside the usb on the phone. Try cleaning them somehow without damaging...

It's hard to say. It could be either. Does the phone ever charge up at all? (when it's powered down?). If not, I would first try another charger cable, to rule that out. If that doesn't solve it, then I'd be suspicious of the charge port, and most likely take it in to sprint. A little more info would be good.

There is a known issue with Evo charger its referred to as -charging port durability by Sprint- take it to a repair store and if you have any issues ask if it is part of the above know issue. This does not apply if its been pulled out by physical damage.

Yes but when the phone is completely shut off and it's plugged in, does the charging light come on and stay on?

It's your charger more likely cus it happened to me with a cheap charger. So I think its your charger. But if your using a legit charger from like sprint/htc, then something is wrong. I only use HTC chargers.

This same thing happened to me, took it to a sprint repair center. They gave me a new USB cable and cleaned the port on my phone. Worked like new after that.

Does it do it on Factory UNrooted? If so, I'd say take it back to sprint while it's unrooted and on the factory stock rom and have them replace or fix it
I had the same problem with a refurb I got that replaced my original Evo. It worked fine for a week or two, then one night, I plugged it in as usual and woke up the next morning with a battery on the verge of dying. The charging light was even still orange when plugged in. I tried every charger I had (evo original, BlackBerry, Samsung, Sprint car charger...) to no avail. Charging with a wall adaptor and USB port on computer yielded the same lackluster results. It did this when rooted and not, with custom and stock roms, and didn't change with kernels. I ended up having to charge my spare battery with a wall charger for the battery and switch every hour or two. I went to the store and they looked at it and gave me 2 new batteries and a new charger (for palm pre) and tried to send me on my way. I plugged the charger into the wall at the store and showed the repair person that it was still losing battery while plugged in and "charging". Needless to say, I got another refurb right away that didn't do the same thing.
Bring it in to the store and get yourself a "new" phone. It worries me a bit that they might be pushing these refurbs out to stores a bit to quickly.

Could you give more details? Does the battery not hold a charge? Does the LED indicate that it's trying to charge? Does the phone power on when plugged in? Does it power on when unplugged? Does a different battery charge okay?
Yea I'm guess its a fried emmc. Makes no attempt to charge. No led. Even plugged in can't start or get to boot loaders so shell have to get a replacement.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
If the phone won't power on at all when plugged in AND THE BATTERY IS INSERTED (That's important. It won't power on when plugged in with the battery out no matter how well it works.) then the phone is pretty unsaveable.
does the computer see it when you plug it in?

OK so we got it working with a charged battery but doesn't respond to USB at all
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
If it works with a charged battery, and you see no response to USB - then the problem is most likely physical, one of the USB VBUS (power) contacts is disconnected/broken.

i dont think a fried emmc would stop it from charging , my G2 had a bad emmc and it charged perfect , like they said its deffinetly a physical problem , my mytouch 4g has a physical problem too , mine charges but will not mount , and if it does mount it connects and disconnects over and over every 5 seconds

It doesn't boot unless plugged into a USB. Doesn't matter if it has power to it or not. Can this be fixed and is it a known problem?

I have a fascinate with this problem. Ive read everywhere and its a known problem by Samsung. But they don't give a **** to fix it. I don't know what to do to fix it. I've tried everything I can think of and then some. Its kind of annoying because if it ever reboots without a plug in around it won't start up, just sits on a charging screen.

I had a fascinate with the same issue. I'm pretty sure I fixed it by an Odin with Repartition checked to a di01 rom, let it boot, and then reflash whatever from you want.

I had the same prob it was due to the battery. I used a new battery and it booted fine. I got a new batt from amazon not a knockoff but a $17 in packaging sold by amazon battery. Check to see if the pink moisture indicator is showing on the battery.

Hey Guys,
I have been following this thread since a while and finally took the plunge with the S3.
it was a blue s3 and i loved it.
All stock, not rooted nothing..
So i was downloading my games and apps the first day all went well
the second night, i bought NOVA 3, and put it for charge while downloading the 1.7 gb data for the game over wifi.
i woke up in the morning and the phone is dead, it shows a yellow connect it to kies message.
I dont know what happened?
took it to the service center, they tried re-installing the firmware, but no avail. finally told me they have to replace the motherboard it was fried.
I fought with them and managed to get a replacement unit which im gonna get on monday.
The ordeal aside, i want to know, is it possible this happened because i downloaded too many games(6 actually)
each with about 400 mb data.
can a phone get bricked if i download nova 3's data of 1.6 gb
cause i am going to get all my games again.
so help with the solution!!
probably a 1 off defective unit.
You left it charging overnight right, have you considered a power surge may have fried it?
It's better to wake up early in the morning and put it on charge than to leave it overnight.
Sorry about your loss though.

I don't think the game's could do anything wrong to you while downloading.
Btw while playing games on SIII take care as the Phone's temperature reaches the sky and literally i have to close down the game because the phone becomes too hot.

power surge and over charge are totally different things. over charge protection would not prevent a power surge.
Most probably just a defective unit.
I left my HTC Sensation charging overnight once, and somehow there was an app running continuously and when I woke up the phone was scalding hot to touch. I freaked out and pulled the battery and let the whole thing cool before I booted it up again. Might not be relevant but just goes to show that our phones can take more heat than we think.

Recently, my phone has been taking a long time to charge. I am using the stock charger, but it is the same with every charger. It takes 10 hours to charge from zero to one hundred percent. I even lose battery sometimes while plugged in. A factory reset DID NOT help, neither did wiping the cache. What can I do? I need this phone.

Check what amperage your phone is being charged at... Google play store has an app called galaxy charging current lite. It'll tell you how much charge is going in.
The max a kitkat charge while screen is on is 1200mAh. While off it can reach 1900mAh. Pre-kitkat can do 1900mAh with screen on but it gets hot.
If your phone is charging only at 1000 or below, you may need to try a diff charger or a diff cable.
You probably have counterfeit charger. It could also be battery problem, I recommend replacing battery or getting new charger. Good luck.

Sounds like a dirty or malfunctioning micro usb issue to me. Try using a tooth pick or a piece of paper to clean out your micro usb slot. Hopefully it's just dirty and not malfunctioning.

I don't recommend this until you've checked with new battrry, charger, and cable. You can risk damaging the sensitive USB port on your phone and if that happens, the cost of repair is significantly higher.
