Samsung ???? (1 Viewer)

[ianthebuilder]

Nothing to do with Motorhomes I'm afraid, but does anybody know anything about Samsung Galaxy tablets?? I tapped on a link on YouTube for a friend and the tab has completely frozen on page,, can't even turn tablet off!!! Any ideas,???
It's showing and is frozen on the page and won't do anything else? What kind of bug has got me ? And cause I'm in Benidorm has anyone got any ideas as to where I could get it sorted?? It's a long shot but Here's hoping !!!! Cheers. Ian.

Press and hold the off button until it does turn off....could be a while.

Try holding in the power button for 10 secs. Should go off then you can reboot it.

 

[Munchie]

Try holding start button in till shuts down

 

[icantremember]

Yes as PJ says hold power button for about 10 seconds.

Take back off and remove battery

If your device freezes or hangs, you may need to close apps or turn off the device and turn it on again. If your device is frozen and unresponsive, press and hold the Power button and the Volume button down simultaneously for more than 7 seconds to restart it.16 Feb 2016

Still holding!!

Take back off and remove battery

Not easy without correct removal tools for the casing or it could be damaged....but that may be the only answer.

Whatever got in there must have over-ridden the off button.

 

[irnbru]

Let it go then and try doing what post says with volume button holding also

Brill ironbru, power button with volume button did the trick !! Now can I risk turning it back on or is it screwed with a bug or something? Cheers. Xxb

Turn it on, should be fine.

 

[TheBig1]

A hard reboot, as in power and volume down will kill all tabs should just reboot as normal

If its a samsung tab 3 10.1" then an inch from the charger socket is a very small pinhole.

This MAY be a factory/hard reset option needing a pin/sewing needle.....sorry, not prepared to try as I have just set up my tab after a factory reset, and I aint going through all that again.

Sorry, just noticed you are sorted.....and dont click youtube links again.
