A way to turn on the phone without a battery is mentioned as so here… https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/accessories/to-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-battery-t3415621
My Galaxy s3 got struck suddenly when i’m unlocking it using a pattern, i waited for sometime and removed battery and booted it, it booted normally, im able to see the pattern lock screen, and it is struck again, cannot perform any other action.Sometimes immediately after booting if i try to unlock , it will get unlocked and the screen is struck again :'(
The technical guy says , software reset could help, but in the internal memory there are many important photos which i don’t want to loose ,and is not even detected by the PC when i connect with USB.Please HELP me.
Either a solution for the phone to work normally or with a solution that i can get my data out of it.Thanks

I have an at&t s3. My mom had it as a contract phone and then gave it to me when she upgraded. I use go phone and had the at&t store set up the phone for me.
I had a year of no problems. A month ago, I received a notification that some data was corrupted so I would have to factory reset. I backed up my data and did just that. Now, whenever I turn on my data and am using any application, My phone automatically shuts down within 2 minutes. If I use Wi-Fi, it will shut down about 50% of the time. Once the phone crashes, 90% of the time, I cannot get it to turn back on. It will reach the at&t symbol and then shut down. It some times takes me an hour to get it to turn back on. The phone is not hot. Nor plugged in. The amount of battery is not significant either.
just bought the samsung galaxy s3 sch-s968c from walmart through straight talk. it did not come with a sim card but included the serial number for activating. i transferred the service from a windows phone that i got put on straight talk service. did everything but when i tried to call the *22890 number to get the phone programmed it can not do so. ive tried several times in the past 8 hours. so was wanting to know if it does require a sim card to be able to be programmed or not so i can actually use the phone

I have a verizon version S3…I just did a reset and now the screen lights up every few minutes for no apparent reason. I am also out of the country, have my service disconnected and my mobile data off. I tried the air push detector and it found nothing. The screen coming on and off all the time kills my battery pretty quickly. Please help.
My Galaxy S3 turned off as soon as I unplugged it a few days ago.. I have read and tried so many things and nothing will get it to power back on.. it almost did one time, but nope.. false hope! =( Any help would be appreciated. I would love it if I could somehow access it just enough to get my files and pics off of it.. I would love for it to just work like normal, but looking very unlikely…. HELP!!!!
