Fascinate charge only option

I was wondering if there is a way to add a charge only option to the menu when plugging my fascinate into a usb charger. Does anyone know if that's possible? Or if its already been done? It's the biggest annoyance for me with my phone. I love it otherwise. Thanks!

You plug it in and it charges. What are you looking for exactly?

Go into settings-usb setting- charge only. My fascinate is currently de actiavated in a desk drawer in a different state. Cant remember if thats exactly how u get to it but should be close.(unless of coarse im thinking of a different phone lol)

Well, what happens is, day I'm listening to music on my phone, and I plug it in to the usb, or ausb style car charger, it automatically kills my sounds and mounts the sd card. Then I can't resume my sounds until I unplug the phone. I'm looking for a way around that.

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...

Odin, see if that works first

I have had the same problem happen when I was running an app called powermax and trying to charge at the same time. Turned the app off and charged just fine. A friend of mine had this exact same issue with the same app.

It is chargring a little bit bit now but only bit but at snails pace and if I am using it It does not charge is it port or battery

what happens when charger in connected ? any sign of life ??
leave battery out for 5 mins, (make sure it has some charge)
do the 3 button combo THEN insert the battery, still holding the 3 button combo.
let me know the results

How/why would the battery fall out? If its a new phone just return it and start out fresh. Alternatively, the jig should work.

My 3month old S3 died :(

Wow lastnight i left it on charge and today i wake up phone is total dead.. removed battery 30min nothing no led or anything, charger plugged in total dead.... :crying::crying: how can this happen i havent root or anything its been working perfect as of lastnight....
and my old 1.5 year desire still works rofl..... i should have bought htc.....:silly:

A minute of silence for your beloved S3...

Well, in case you really have a faulty one which is only 3 month old, you have warranty and it will be replaced. Products who are sold by millions are always some defective, electronics.... I had the same with my Sony cyber shot camera.... a few years back. Just go back to the store and get a new one.

Ahh. Assuming this is just a one off, extreme case for you... it's gonna be pretty damn comforting knowing that you'll still have another 21 months of warranty coverage

Contact the retailer and tell them, then if needed go to a service centre for a repair

Its not software design its optimization, flash an AOSP ROM and you will see the differences in performance.

Maybe it's just dead battery. Try another one.

I'm not sure about this because he said its the same with the charger plugged in, and it will run with the charger plugged in but no battery.
If you don't have a spare battery to try use a multimeter put the probes across the positive and negative terminals of the battery if there's an output on the screen its fine.
That's if you have a multimeter

If I take the battery out mine won't turn on even when in the charging dock. So it could just be the battery.

Doesn't work, it needs the battery as well.

Maybe the charger is broken? Connect it with your pc

take it back to the store you got it from, ask them to put a battery in it for you to check whether its faulty, they shouldnt have a problem with this. If its still dead then you dont need to worry about the fact you have probably flashed a cooked recovery / rom or rooted, it will be dead, they'll likely just swap it out. - albeit via samsung.

Tried and tested, AOSP is definitely faster on the GS3 and battery lasts longer than stock (depends on your usage) if your not a fan of AOSP and like the Touchwiz wait for the Jellybean update to come.. shouldnt take long now..
