I have it connected to the charger and it's not charging. The phone has a black screen and it's vibrating every 2 seconds. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Throw it in the river, see if it floats.

Pull the battery out for a few minutes. Did you drop it in water?

Edit: try pulling the battery a pressing the power button to discharge any ambient charge, wait 10 minutes the insert the battery and try starting it up, what where you doing prior to the phone messing up?

My S3 had been doing the same thing and eventually started working again. It died a week later. A coworker had a similar experience. Go google it, it's been happening a lot lately. I suspect that it is related to an update but that is only my best guess.

I have had this problem occur twice. In both occasions, it was due to the battery finally giving out. Just bring it to a Sprint store and have them test the battery. If it is faulty, they will replace it for free.

If it floats, it is a witch and should be burned immediately.

My iPhone did that for a while. Cleaned out the port and it helped a little, probably had lint in it. Took a closer look and think a pin was a little bent. Turned power off and poked at it with a mini screwdriver. Charges fine now.
