Most of these devices are running linux, with ordinary filesystems underneath. Once in a while, the filesystem gets an error, or the system goes long enough that it thinks it needs to check things out, and then nothing happens on the device until the filesystem checks are done. Of course, people worry at this unexpected behaviour, but it mostly works itself out given time. Resetting the device does not "fix" these kinds of problems, it just defers the fixing until the next reboot, when it starts all over again. So, I agree with DNSB; if you're device isn't responding after some resets, just leave it be while powered up and plugged into the charger. There's some chance it will fix itself without interference.
