[umnobwee] Powering off nonremovable batteries

A device, e.g., smartphone, without a removable (and replaceable) battery is difficult to securely turn off.  Can this be exploited?  Remotely turn on a device that has been ostensibly turned off because the owner wanted privacy, perhaps to not reveal location.  Perhaps a special low-power mode that does not even fully boot the OS.
