So i turned my phone off and let it charge until 100 percent. When i took off the charger, i tried to power it on. It vibrated and didnt turn on ever since. I read something about overcharging the battery or something but i'm not sure. I tried using the power button and volume down combination but won't power on att all. Any help?
Hold volume up key and connect phone to pc, should enter download mode. Then reset it by holding all buttons.

nothing at all shows up on the screen
Could my battery have gone bad? I doubt it because it was working perfectly before. After i let it sit a full night out of the charger and tried to turn it on, it vibrated and the screen lit a slightly bit but shut off right after. Any ideas?

Ok everyone I am having a major problem with my N7. This morning I noticed it was out of power so plugged i tin like normal, then I went to turn it on got the Google logo then it went to the Nexus logo. And it kept cycling through the nexus logo for hours and will not turn off. Whenever I try to turn it off it just restarts from the beginning. Now I didn't buy my tablet from the play store so I would have to go through Asus for a warranty replacement. Has this happened to anyone else in the past?
Some info. Stock, unrooted, locked bootloader, stock 4.2
Well this never happened to me before. Did you try removing the battery?
Well, to start, unplug your N7 from the power source and hold the power button down for about 15 seconds, this should force it off. From there, turn it back on and let us know what happens.

I don't see that you have tried holding down the power and the volume down. This should get you a hard reset.
Here is a short topic where a power and vol down worked for someone where a straight power down did not:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30101-reboot-tip/
it's the last post (#6)
Rather than trying to run the battery down, which is not all the way down when it shuts off and would take a long time to discharge just sitting there, you could pull the battery if you feel comfortable opening the case. It's not glued or anything and the battery has a ribbon connector.
So its in a boot loop? Reflash the image with Mskips toolkit option 9 after booting into fast boot mode. If that isn't the problem then do a warranty return. Not sure why you're stuck in a loop.

By the coincidence, is your batt serial no beginning with BD? If so, look on the battery. Is it swollen a bit? If so - call samsung, they will replace battery free of charge.
If not, try to connect phone to charger, insert battery, go to recovery and make full wipe.

it might be a power button issue
ok, this may be tricky.
while keeping volume down and home - slice battery in. If phone would boot in download mode (even just for a while) - then it will be power button issue.
it boots up on download mode for seconds and then powered off again....
Im digging up this post because this is the same problem i had.
I ended up removing the power button all together, carefully popped it off the motherboard. The phone no longer boots for a couple secs and powers off again so i think the power button was the issue. Now i have the problem of powering on the phone. I tried booting into download mode (to have the reboot option) by holding volume down+home while plugging it in but nothing happens, all i get is the battery charging icon. Ive been into download mode before i removed the button, but like the OP, it would only be a second or 2 before rebooting. Am i doing the correct procedure for download mode? Perhaps my timing is off? Any suggestions?
At least i do get the battery charge and it stays until i unplug the phone, no more boot loop!

Ok so i managed to get the phone to power up without going into download mode using this method i found on youtube. No boot loop and fully powered up now, the only thing is that im stuck on the lock screen. My friend cant remember his pin so i cant get in, the only option left now is to boot into recovery and do a factory reset yes? Well, how can i do that without a power button? Any suggestions?
Sadly less than 12 hours of use and my Note 4 will not power on the screen. It charged overnight and showed 100% battery when I woke up. This morning I watched some videos, checked email etc. Then after getting ready to leave for work the screen will not come on.
I've tried the traditional pull the battery, sim, SD card, hold the power button while everything disconnected to discharge any latent power.
Plug just the battery back in, it vibrates and the notification LED comes on blue, but the screen never turns on and there is no sound.
Tried charging it on the way to work and the notification led was solid red, still not able to power on the screen after removing and reinserting the battery/sim/etc in various fashions.
Now it is sitting at my desk at work, I've pulled the battery, put it back in, powered it on and while plugged in the notification led flashes slowly red.
It is recognized by my tablet when I plug it in via USB as "SAMSUNG-SM-N910V" so there is something "on" but there is nothing in that device I can access.
I've also tried holding the volume down and power, volume up and power, just power, holding volume/tap power/release power/still hold volume, holding all the buttons, just to see if I could trigger some recovery mode like every device I've had before with no luck.
I think this one is going back and getting replaced today.
If there are any other suggestions, please let me know. I hope this is a fluke as the device has impressed me so far.
Try access recovery mode home+ power button

They tried that in the store too after I brought it back. They had no more inventory and are supposed to get more later. They confirmed its a dud now also.

Phone replaced today after a fresh shipment came in. All is working well again!
I just flashed MOAR rom on my phone a few days ago and everything was working perfectly then while at work I pulled my phone out of my pocket and noticed my case had slipped off and was holding the power button down. After fixing the case I tried to unlock my phone and nothing came up on my screen. I held down the power button and the only thing that happened was my LED indicator is flashing green rapidly and at different brightness. Then I pulled the battery and left it out of my phone for 2 hours and still the only thing that is happening is the LED. When I plug it into my computer without me hitting the button the LED is flashing. It wont boot into recovery and I don't want to send it in and them find a custom rom on it so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am assuming it won't go into download mode either? Try holding the power button in for at least 30-40 seconds.

Try the same thing with the charger plugged in.
"Try holding down the power button for 1 minute with the charger connected. If this doesn't present the screen, try holding the power button AND both volume buttons at the same time. This should bring up a menu. There should be an option for reboot or force reboot"

Just something I found while looking for answers. At least your battery is getting warm. That is better than the alternative.

Are you using the original data cable? Try a different USB port maybe?
I have a at&t S4 that all of a sudden today stopped working. When I restart the phone by taking the battery out and putting back in, it gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and then a black screen. I tried going to recovery mode(volume up + home + power button), and it shows recovery booting in blue for a sec then goes black. I tried for download mode the warning comes up but after pressing volume up it goes black. I really don't know what to do at this point.
Tried using kies or smart switch to perform a firmware recovery?
Yes, the computer doesn't recognize that the phone is connected. It's as if when the phone goes to the black screen its actually powered off. The only time I get anything from the phone is when I pull the battery and reinsert it.

When the phone battery are too low, the phone could behave like that too.
Do you know that battery is fully charged or has more than 60%?
If not charge the phone first.
Plug the charger. If you did not see any sign showing that you phone is charging, press and hold the power button for 10 sec and release it. You should see the phone charging image.
Let me know whether your phone has enough battery power left but showing the above mentioned problems.

Yes, the battery is fully charged. I have another S4 Active that I've swapped the batteries with, along with a spare official Samsung battery and charger. It doesn't matter which battery I use, the phone acts the same with any of the 3.

If you have enough battery power left but the phone was behaved like that, you might need to flash the firmware.
Are you in lollipop or kitkat? For the time being, the only firmware available for kit-kat and lollipop is NB1 firmware cooked by muniz_ri . You can get it from here.
You mentioned that you can go to download mode but the phone shut off when you press volume up to go to the download mode after the warning.
Try the 10 sec method. Go to the download mode (power+home+volume-down) but keep holding the power button for 10 sec even though you see the warning message appear. Then you press volume up to go the download mode. Try this way and let me know.

It was on Kitkat. I can press the volume up and get it to show the download android screen but it immediately shuts off. Holding the power button for 10 secs. and then the volume up didn't do anything. The phone shuts off after 1-2 secs. of doing anything.

That is strange. The same thing happened to me. But I avoided the phone shut down by 10 sec methods.
Just hold the power+home+volume down for 10 sec, even though the warning sign show up, and then let it go all of them. Plug the phone to the computer and then press the volume-down to go into download mode. It works for me. Not on the first try though.
Try doing that with batter charger plug in too.

Thanks for your help. I figured out whats wrong, its got a faulty power button. I took the phone apart, put it back together, and was able to get it to boot completely. The slightest touch of the power button causes it to reboot though, so I'm going to need to replace it.

Glad you found the problem. I was trouble shooting for the software error.
Yes, power bottom could give you a problem too. I use screen off app so I do not have to use power button to turn off the screen.
