Well i let my device drain to 0 percent last night. It turned on after i plugged it in to the charger but because it had no battery it died right away. Then the phone would not turn on anymore, all it does when i hold the power button is vibrate. When plugged in the notification light does not work and neither does taking off the battery. Can any 1 help? Is there a way to soft reset the phone?
Plug it in with the battery let it charge for like 3 hours then turn it on

hold in the button combo for download mode. (volume down,home,power). when the warning comes up, press VOLUME DOWN it will reboot

Hello, I have the sprint galaxy nexus and the screen keeps turning itself on saying its charging when its not plugged in. I'll turn the screen off and a few seconds later it turns itself back on. I've tried switching ROMs and it is still doing it

Extremely well known issue where the USB connector is not functioning properly, and so it thinks its being plugged into a charger.
Explains that lol. Is there a fix to this?

You can try cleaning the USB port. If that doesn't work, I'd say your options are either try to fix it yourself by tweaking the pins OR claim warranty.
So earlier today I was using my phone in class when it suddenly shuts off. It shutting off was normal to me so like always, I take the battery out and put it back in. It turns back on gets to one of the loading screens and shuts off. My phone keeps vibrating while it's off so I don't think it could be the battery. Occasionally if I'm lucky, it would fully load to the point where I could use it but then shuts off and the whole process repeats again. I'm using the juggernaut rom if that helps.
Any ideas?
Odin back to stock and root your device and restore to your previous ROM if u have a backup of that ROM on your phone

Here's a quick video of what happens. I can't even get to download/recovery mode.

I didn't have it in in the video and I tried it too, it doesn't do/change anything. I can get into download mode for literally a second and then the same thing just happens, it turns off and the little vibrating continues and remains in that state until I remove the battery and put it back in.

When it vibrates does the screen turn black or does it completely turn off ?

I know how to put it in recovery mode, I'm saying in general whenever the battery is in, the phone is vibrating and shut off
Wish I could help but I don't know

Sounds like it could be a stuck power button...at least as I've read other descriptions of similar symptoms. Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931310

Hey guys, I have an At&t GS3 and it keeps turning off, I think it may be the power button that isn't functioning correctly anymore because the lightest touch will cause it to reboot or turn off. Is there a way to fix this?

Mine haven't come on(backlight) at all from day one. Anyone else? I know people have complained about the duration being short but I get nothing at all..

There should be an app that you can use to turn them on. Also are you using power saving mode at all?
Turn off power save mode.. if they still don't turn on, use the app "Galaxy Button Lights" from the Play Store and see if you can manually turn them on.. if not, your device is defective.
I am using a power save mode. Let me check.
