WARNING: I'm still not entirely sure this is a permanent solution as I'm not that knowledgeable in circuitry, so please do this at your own risk.
*This method may work on other models of the Samsung Galaxy S III
For those looking for a way to get their phone up and running without a charger may now do so...
You're going to need the following:
Materials
1. A usb cord of any kind that you're willing to cut up
*For those who are experienced, if you have wires already then make sure to have the vcc and gnd)
2. Some sort of device with a USB 2.0 port (not sure about 3.0, and 1.0 might not be enough) that gives off energy from a device such as a computer, gaming console, etc.
3. Electrical Tape (other tapes may work if they are nonelectric and have enough adhesive to stick)
Tools
1. Scissors
2. A wire stripper (the scissors may work, just be gentle)
Overview
First off we need to label some parts and describe what they are for (I'm pretty sure I have this right)
Now it's time to know where the wires will go (overview so don't do anything yet)...
Obviously we want the VCC pin connected with the VCC wire and the GND pin connected to the GND wire.
Then essentially the phone (when pressing the power button) should turn on...
Sometimes the phone won't turn on/turns off after being on
This may be because of the Thermistor or because of loose wires, but I'm not too sure.
So my best bet is to attach a third separate wire cut off from the usb cord to that pin and tape close to the
sim card slot to get feel the temperature of the phone... make sure the exposed wire part is taped off so
it's not touching the back of the phone/yourself (for safety)
Steps
1. Make sure the back of the phone is open and ready
2. Use the scissors to gently cut off the outer part of the USB cord (make sure not to cut into the wires inside!)
3. Strip the ends of the VCC and GND wires by about a centimeter so we can use them on the pins
4. Connect the wires to the pins
A. Loop the exposed VCC wire through the VCC pin and fold it back to tape to phone (make sure it's not
touching any other metal)
B. Repeat step 4 A for the GND wire and GND pin.
5. Test your phone by turning it on... if it works then welcome, if not try the % step
%. A. Cut either the D+ or D- wire off of the USB cord to be it's separate wire.
B. Repeat step 4 A for this wire for the Thermistor pin
C. Warm up the wire a bit (1-2 minutes)with something like a heat pack or other low heating source.
D. Repeat step 5
CONGRATS: You now know how to use your phone without a battery!
