I don't know if you need a new battery or not for your S3, but it may be something to consider. I had a Samsung Galaxy S2 for two years (April 2012-April 2014). This past January, the phone would just "shut off" on its own. I took it to a Sprint store, and the sales person could tell right away I needed a new battery. She told me the battery life on the S2 is about 2 years. Replacing the battery solved the problem. I switched to the S4 this past April when the S4 prices dropped as the S5 was introduced in April.
