I just took my Galaxy S3 out of my pocket and hit the power button to "wake it up". Nothing. The blue led is flashing in the top left corner. But it does not wake up. Tried holding power button down for 10 seconds. Nothing. Tried the hard reset (Power, Volume UP, Home Buttons). Nothing. Plugged it into the wall and let it charge for a while. Still nothing. I don't know what else to try.

Stock phone. Almost new.

Try pressing on the home button a few times & see if the task manager page appears.Then, hit the back button.

I had this quirk/bug for a day or two & it went away. Still don't know what caused it.

Keep us posted on your results.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the Home button. Nothing. I tried pushing it multiple times and holding it down for an extended period. Nothing. Hmmm....
 
Pull the battery out for at least 1 minute. It should reboot the phone when you put it back in.

haha.....SUroot beat me to it
 
on my nokia n8 the battery was not removable but if the phone got hung u could press the power button for 10 seconds and it would turn off.
