One of my apps stopped responding, so the buttons on my tablet stopped responding as well, but instead of getting the "This app has stopped responding: Close/Wait" message, it just.. went to sleep, and I haven't been able to turn it on since. It's not just a case of a dead battery because even after plugging it in, I can't turn it back on. What do I do?
App froze - now tablet isn't turning on

Quickest and easiest is a battery pull. Just pop off the back cover, remove the battery and wait about a minute. Put the battery back in, snap the cover back on, and turn on the phone.
Or if you've got a case on your phone that is a pain to remove, just press and hold the power button. Might take 10-30 seconds but this SHOULD force it to reboot as well.

Well, I just noticed I was a moron, I was talking a Tab 3, not a Note 3, but, the power button trick worked for it, too. Thank you!
