S3 freezes all the time.

[Vantri]

Yesterday my phone suddenly froze and I couldn't do anything so I restarted it. When I restarted it just stayed on the second picture and the text 'glowed' for a long while but nothing happened. I restarted it again and then it wouldn't get past the GALAXY S3 I9300 screen at all. I tried leaving it on over the night to see what would happen but nothing.
Now the battery is empty, of course, but when I plug it in to charge the battery pops up with one of those "loading" circles but freezes right there. I'm not sure it even recharges at all.

Anyone have any idea how to solve this at all?

Welcome to the Forum Vantri. Is this a stock unit or did you root it?

[Vantri]

As I was to ask what rooting is, I'm going to say that it's stock since I don't know what it is. Haven't done any modifications or anything.

Have you physically pulled the battery? If not do so and charge the phone to 100%

[Vantri]

I've tried to pull the battery before so see if it did anything. But the problem remains and I've tried to charge the phone for a while now but it doesn't seem to do anything as the phone won't start when charges is pulled out, and it's stuck on the battery loading screen when plugged to charge.

Can't think of any other option but to have the phone replaced.

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you got a bad handset, you should return it for a replacement.
Good luck!

It would seem so. I got it two months ago and this is the first time it acts like this and freezes up completely and become inoperable.
I send a mail to the Samsung support but I have no idea how long that will take, but it would seem my best shot is to get it replaced.

Thanks for the answers!

Here in Thailand we have Samsung stores in every Mall. If you have the same you can take it to the shop for replacement.
