My Galaxt S3 isn't charging. Help please! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

So about two weeks ago, I switched to iPhone because I'm giving my S3 to my dad. I haven't used it since then so I fully expected the battery to die. However, when I went to charge it today the LED at the top left isn't lighting on and I get this
{

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
.
Whenever I try to plug in the battery while it's connected with the USB, the red LED pops up for 3 seconds and then it goes away.
Any ideas guys? Please help me.

I did see it. But we don't have the same problem.
My phone won't even get to the boot sequence and I know it's not a brick of any kind because the phone was working fine before I switched the iP5. I left the phone in the glove compartment of my car for a week or so, is it possible that could have messed with it? The phone was inside of the box and everything so I can't imagine it got too hot.

Well did you try the suggestions there? Keeping the battery out for a while and then putting it in and trying to boot?

Yeah I did but still no dice.

couple of things
Try a different battery
Try a different charger
Sometimes extreme heat and cold (from a glove compartment) can ruin a battery or the phone itself. Extreme temps are hell on phones. It's probably a good idea to remove the batterty and keep it inside if phone is being stored. Also, some chargers to go bad...had it happen. Anyway, you might have tried these things already. Good luck!:good:

[Q] What the hell is this dip in my battery life?

So, at some point I turned off my phone and I -think- the sudden spike down in battery life is around that time.
Anyone got any explanations?

Mine has done that as well a couple of times. One time I had a charge of around 75%...rebooted my phone, and the battery was down to 15% percent.
Maybe it's just another bug we'll have to deal with until they come out with a fix.
thats strange mine doesnt have that much of a dip
every samsung product I have does this, gt 7, gt 10.1, droid charge, and this one. I don't recall my og droid, evo 4g or 3d doing this.
All phones show a dip when there is a battery pull while the phone is on....

Wasn't a pull, just a shutdown and reboot.

well if your phone was rebooted then that bald would have been reset because it displays monitors since last power-on.
there seems to be a bug where the cpu fails to underclock after a certain amount of usage and/or load. rebooting after intensive apps and/or before leaving the phone idle for extended periods of time seems to solve the problem for me. yes i get that too.

***charging issue n7100 | experience#2 [resolved]

Hi Guys,
Got a problem here. This will be my 2nd Note2 after sending it back to Samsung couple of months ago. It was charging this morning and tonight after a long day of work, I decided to play some game on it. Noticed that the battery is on 15% I decided to charge it. After 30mins I checked the status of the battery and to my amaze it was not charging! I tried 3 different cables, 2 different chargers, and none of them works. Tried my cables and chargers to a different phones and it does work. I connected my note 2 to my laptop, and it does not recognized it. Tried to charge it while it is turned off, I can see a battery icon, but it does not show the charging battery icon. It will disappear in a few seconds. Please see image below:

It's a rooted phone. Tried to clean the charging port. I even opened it without damaging the warranty sticker, and I can definitely say that there's no moist inside. But just to be sure, I blow it using a hair dryer with the temp off. But with no luck. I used to experienced this a few weeks ago where went back charging after a few minutes. But this time it's worst, it's been an hour and a half and still it is not charging. I can't do a full wipe yet since the battery got 9% left on it.
I know that if it will really not charge, to resolve it..it's either I send it back again to Samsung, replace the board myself (hope it works), or buy an external battery charger. Unless there's more that I can do to fix it.

I did but to my amazed after leaving it alone the whole night, It went back charging again. Yes I am glad that it's working again but I am worried it might happen again sooner or later. I have read some threads with the same issue and with the same outcome, I really want to know what's behind this.
So if its under warranty unroot and monitor

That's pretty much it, it's frozen on this screen whenever I attempt to charge it and the power button does nothing except turning the screen off. It's been charging all night.

try to reflash the firmware with odin, or go to stock firmware with kies using this guide (you can find s/n of your phone by pulling out the battery)
report if it worked for you

That's the problem though, I can't get it into download mode nor recovery. From what I've found after spending some time searching, it's a flat or dead battery.

Nah, rooted and opened in the past. Not really a huge issue but I'll try with a different battery next week and hope for the best.

Faulty Screen need advice

Hi there brought this second hand Nexus from well known auction site. Fully aware of it being faulty, after finally switching on (power ribbon cable was loose) the screen switched on usual google popped up but once fully loaded it becomes fragmented. There are tears on the screen as I touch it.

I went into bootloader where the screen loaded up as normal
As you can see there is no glitches with the screen loading this up. I then proceeded to do a stock flash from 5.1.1 to 5.0.0 to see if its just a corrupted rom. No luck still the same.
Has anyone come accross this problem and know what is the fix? Before I tear this nexus apart for spares for my other nexus or even plug the screen to test on another ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated

When you flashed the factory image, did you flash all of it including kernel? I would try to get into TWRP and install a ROM to see if the problem persists. (You can boot into TWRP without installing it if you want to keep it stock recovery)

Display issue - not sure what the problem is

I had my phone plugged into the charger and when I turned it on I got this screen. When I reboot, I don't see the boot up screen logo , it just takes me to this screen and I see this big block of white. Any idea what the issue may be?

Try forcing a reboot by holding voldown+power. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Unfortunately its the first thing I did. It doesn't boot with the samesung log, instead with a white screen as above but I see some of the text behind it (like asking for pin number etc)
Will it go into the boot menu?
nope
That really sucks... sorry to hear this. Happens on the S series phones apparently too.
A loose display ribbon connector... maybe.
Looks like a blown display.
Did it recieve any hard impacts?
Always use a good case like the Zizo Bolt.
If so and it was me I would replace the display or order a new N10+ N975U1, they are still available. Almost all of these are loaded with Q.
Personally I refuse to run Android 11 or higher.
If you don't object to Android 11 you can find them used for about the price to replace the display.
Samsung simply doesn't have any other flagship phone that I would buy over the N10+ including the S23U. I have a known good US vendor that sells new ones for $650 which is about twice that of a used one. Bought one from them about 14 months ago. Pristine in the factory sealed box. He buys up unsold lots. The last manufacturer ones were factory loaded with Q.
