Galaxy S3 sudden death to be fixed by firmware update
There are beginning to be a lot of threads popping up regarding peoples S3 just suddenly "Dying"
Some while charging over night, others simply not turning on again after screen off.
I've made this thread so everyone that has experienced sudden death cases on their S3 can post here and keep the forums cleaner.
Also it is a lot easier to gather info and find similarities when everything is together.
If you have experienced "SUDDEN DEATH" on your S3 please leave a post with relevant info:
What happened
Where phone was made
Where battery was made
What firmware you were running
Can you access download mode?
If you know what hardware revision you had prior to death then please post and also post your replacement hardware version by using this code in dialer *#12580*369# and posting HW Rev:
***If your phone has been fixed after sudden death please use eMMC Brick Bug check from Play Store and post a screen shot or your eMMC chip info***
Samsung Benelux reported to Tweakers.net that Samsung is busy to fix the ”sudden death” problem of the Galaxy S III. Many Galaxy S III devices stopped working because of a firmware bug. Samsung says they want to bring an update as soon as possible. Samsung even reported to tweakers about the HMTL code to reset Galaxy S III devices. This way is no longer possible.
Since begin December Samsung started to update the Galaxy S III to Android 4.1.2. The Galaxy S III is Samsung’s best selling Android device ever. Samsung sold over 30 million Galaxy S III devices. The next Galaxy S, Galaxy S IV is expected for the first half of 2013.
