The tablet freezes and does not turn off. What to do if the tablet freezes and does not turn off. What to do when your tablet freezes

It reacts to no touch from the user; you can use the emergency reboot key combination. Typically, most Android tablets can be rebooted by pressing the power button and volume up key at the same time. Press and hold the button combination for about 2 seconds. Once the reboot begins, you can release them.

If the key combination does not work, you can use the Reset button, which is available on some tablet models. If you cannot find either a key combination to quickly reboot the device or the Reset button, use the instructions that came with the device.


If frozen, you can also remove and reinsert the battery if it is removable.

Preventing freezing

If yours freezes when working with a particular program, try uninstalling it and installing it again. To remove an application, use the “My Applications” menu in the Play Market section. In the list provided, find the name of the unnecessary program, then click “Delete” to uninstall. Return to the application page and after uninstallation is complete, install again. If the device freezes again when working with this program, you should find an alternative application that has similar functionality and remove the problematic program.


To avoid freezes, do not install programs from unknown manufacturers and protect the device from water and sharp shocks.

Frequent random freezes can occur due to problems with the Android system itself. If you want to try to get rid of freezes, try flashing your device or updating the firmware through the menu “Settings” - “About” - “Software Update”. To avoid the problem reoccurring, you can reset your device to factory settings. The operation will clean the device of possible malicious applications and return the system to its original state.

Frequent freezing of the tablet can cause problems with the device hardware itself. If none of the above methods help resolve the freezes, contact a service center to troubleshoot the problem. Freezes can occur either as a result of repeated drops of the tablet on the floor, or due to its long operation or hardware failure due to insufficient quality equipment or poor working conditions.

Usually, when used correctly, tablets work without problems and there are no difficulties in using them. But, each tablet runs on a specific operating system, which can fail at any time. Moreover, it does not matter which system is used, since none of them is immune from problems. In such cases, the user is faced with the fact that his device does not respond to any commands, in other words, the tablet is frozen. And what to do in this case?

Most often, this problem affects Chinese-made tablets, but there are also cases when devices from major manufacturers also freeze.

Bringing them to life is much more difficult than any other device. Unlike computers and laptops, a tablet does not have such a set of buttons, and it is impossible to press a specific key combination.

Reasons for freezing

The causes of freezing are mainly divided into two groups: software and hardware. The first reason is the most common and you can eliminate it yourself. But in the second case, you already need the help of service center employees.

A software failure can occur due to a virus entering the tablet, damage to the operating system, or a malfunction of some application or settings.

A hardware failure occurs when the board is even slightly damaged, faulty devices are connected, or the tablet cannot be charged properly (for example, if the charger is broken).

Before you begin to solve a problem, you need to determine under what circumstances and at what moment it arose. For example, the tablet could freeze while installing or updating applications, when the gadget was hit or dropped, while the device was loading or while using the Internet, and so on. Further work with the device will be carried out taking this information into account.

Ways to solve the freezing problem:

1. If the program freezes

When a specific program is the cause of the freeze, you should turn it off and uninstall it. If the tablet runs on the Android system, then this is done as follows. In the menu, you need to go to the settings options, find the “Applications” line, then the “Running” item, and having found the desired application, click the “Stop” or “Delete” button.

2. If the tablet itself freezes

In this case, the simplest, and often most effective, method is to simply reboot the device. As usual, you need to turn off the tablet, then, for data security, remove the SIM card and memory card and turn it on again. If the tablet works normally again, feel free to insert the cards and continue using it.

If even the on/off button does not respond, you need to use the “Reset” button. It is located in a small hole; in order to press it, you need to use some long thin object such as a toothpick or a needle.

Some tablets do not have a “Reset” button; in this case, you need to hold down

3. If the tablet does not respond to any commands

Sometimes the problem is so serious that the previous methods are simply impossible to even try. Neither the display nor the keys respond. What to do? In this situation, you will have to use a “Hard reset”. This method is effective, but unsafe for the information contained on the tablet. In order to save at least part of it, you should remove all cards from the device before using this method.

To apply a “Hard reset”, each device has its own key combination. If we take devices running on Android, then in them this means simultaneously pressing the “On/Off” button and the volume up button. A menu should appear in which you need to select “Settings”, then “Format System”. Next is a line with the word “Reset”. After clicking on it, the device will begin to reboot, and not always instantly. In this case, all data from the tablet will be erased (this includes any information installed by the user: programs, games, video and audio files, photos, account data, etc.), it will be reset to its original settings and will be the same as on the day of purchase.

If the tablet freezes and none of the above methods help, there is only one way out - take the device to a service center. Otherwise, there is every chance of saying goodbye to your favorite gadget.

How to prevent your tablet from slowing down and freezing?

From practice, it has been observed that the user himself is most often to blame for the slowdown and freezing of a mobile device. It is his actions that lead to failures in the system.

To avoid such problems in the future, it is important to follow some simple tips:

  • there is no need to install a lot of programs or applications that require large amounts of resources, especially on devices with low performance;
  • You should periodically clear the tablet's RAM and ROM from so-called “garbage,” that is, unused files and programs. For normal operation of the tablet, its load should not exceed 90%;
  • do not install programs and applications from dubious sources;
  • use only official firmware and a reliable antivirus. The latter needs to be updated regularly;
  • protect the tablet from mechanical damage and moisture;
  • do not violate the rules for operating the device;
  • If problems arise, contact a specialist service center for help.

Articles and Lifehacks

Finally, the long-awaited purchase has been made! A wonderful new beautiful tablet lies in a neat stand. The case shines, the light aroma of a new device hovers. I studied the instructions, then the menu and all the contents. Additional accessories included. Many games and interesting applications have been downloaded. Everything has been tried... And then, at the most interesting point, the game begins to slow down and... completely freezes. The gadget buzzes quietly helplessly, but the indifferent picture is lifelessly frozen on the handsome man’s display. And the new owner wonders, what to do if the tablet freezes? Especially if we are not talking about some kind, but about a branded advanced device.

First aid steps for a frozen tablet

1. It’s worth trying to reboot the tablet in the usual way.

2. If it doesn’t work, hold down the on/off button for 7-15 seconds. If it turns off, great, after a few minutes you can try turning it on again.

3. If it doesn’t help, use Reset. This is a small button, hidden deeper than the surface of the case and can only be pressed with a thin, sharp object. A needle or toothpick works great.

4. Some devices do not have a Reset button. So, to restart the iPad, you need to hold down Home and then Power. With such a reboot, all user data will remain unharmed.

5. If it doesn’t work, try to get everything you can: a SIM card, a memory card.

6. If this doesn’t help, try removing the battery from a tablet with a removable battery, and after three minutes insert it again and try turning it on.

7. If the battery cannot be removed, wait until the battery runs out, and then turn on the tablet again after charging.

8. If all else fails, all that remains is to reset all settings, that is, perform a Hard Reset. To do this, different devices use different combinations of buttons. On some it is on/off and a volume up button, on others it is on/off and a volume down button. For iPad, you can restore factory settings through iTunes. Select "Restore". Before starting the procedure, it is better to take out the memory card and SIM card, but on the contrary, connect the power. Because if the tablet turns off during a Hard Reset, all that remains is to take it to the service center, with the hope that after flashing it they will be able to “revive” it.

9. If the Hard Reset goes well, after a few seconds the settings menu will appear, where you need to select “Settings”, then “Format Settings” and “Reset Android”.

After the update, the user will receive the tablet with its original settings. If all of the above actions did not help, there is only one way left - to the service center.

Steps to prevent your tablet from freezing

1. Monitor the load on RAM and permanent memory. For optimal system operation, it should be no more than 90% loaded. To do this, special programs are used that clean the OS of all garbage and point to unused applications. For example, you shouldn’t watch a video at the same time.

2. Protect your device from viruses by regularly updating your antivirus program.

3. Handle the device carefully. Protect from falls and water.

If the correct preventive measures are taken, the disease can be avoided. And a brand new tablet will delight its owner for a long time with its impeccable performance, steady buzz and even shine.

I quote Elena:

Hello. The problem is this. I need to flash the tablet. To do this, you need to turn it off. Stuck while checking the file system. When you press the small button with a sharp object, it reboots, the same as when you hold the on/off button. Recovery doesn't work at all. Help me please. How to turn off the tablet?


Hello. First, I should clarify the model of the tablet so that I can understand what we are talking about. As a rule, to enter the recovery menu, use the Power+Volume key combination (+ or - - you need to try both options). If you can’t load the recovery menu on your own, then it’s better to contact someone who has more experience. I can't help you remotely anymore. The best thing is to take it to a service center so that they can install the official service firmware for you. It will work most stably.

I quote Yuri:
Hello. What does "Hard Reboot" mean? Do you have a factory reset? Do it again. Since the operating system itself (Android) is loading, this is already some kind of firmware bug or hardware error. I'm unlikely to be able to help you remotely. Here you need to figure it out personally and carry out diagnostics. It is possible that the firmware is working normally, but one of the modules on the motherboard has failed, which is what causes the freeze. Maybe the CPU itself has died. Here you can guess for a long time. Better take it to a service center. If you know how to flash, you can try flashing your tablet. First, read this article -

Not everyone knows that the tablet has a safe mode. At the same time, not all users are aware of its functions and capabilities. Although it will be useful for every owner of a tablet device to know what safe mode is and how to enable it or, conversely, disable it. Ask why? Yes, it’s simple: it’s Safe Mode that allows you to deal with many “glitches” and errors, diagnose which application is causing the operating system (OS) to freeze, and much more. etc.

Let's figure out what safe mode is (aka Safe Mode). Let's start with the fact that it is an integral part of the OS (be it Android or Windows 10). Its main function is to help diagnose the device.

For example, a user downloaded and installed several applications on his tablet. After which it began to freeze a lot or even turn off. This is where Safe Mode comes in handy. After all, it is enough to activate Safe Mode on the device, and all third-party applications, drivers, utilities, programs and components will be disabled.

However, in safe mode, Internet access will also be closed!

As a result, the user will be able to use a “naked” android. Only standard applications installed by the manufacturer will work. Various glitches and freezes will go away. Therefore, you can safely remove recently installed programs, which most likely caused crashes and malfunctions in the system.

In addition, through safe mode you can diagnose the tablet for quite serious damage. For example, if the device’s battery runs out quickly or any button does not work, then switch it to this “service” mode. If the tablet’s performance is restored, it means that some application is to blame, which is loading the battery or disabling a certain function.

How to enable safe mode?

There are several ways to activate safe mode on your tablet. Therefore, let's at least briefly talk about the most popular of them.

Method No. 1

If you have Android OS 6 or higher installed on your tablet, then you must first press the power button on the device body. Then wait until a window opens, in which there will be several options to continue - turn off the power, switch to airplane mode or silent mode. Then you need to click on the “Power off” item and hold your finger until a message appears on the screen prompting you to put the tablet into safe mode.

All that remains is to click the “Ok” button. The device will reboot. After which it will function in safe mode. By the way, a special inscription at the bottom of the screen will also inform you about this.

This way, you can switch to Safe Mode on devices from many manufacturers, including budget tablet models from xiaomi, dexp, irbis, etc.

Method No. 2

On some tablets, method No. 1 does not work due to firmware features. Therefore, to start safe mode, you need to select the “reboot” item in the same shutdown menu, click on it and hold for a while. Typically, after a couple of seconds, a dialog box will open asking you to allow permission to enter Safe Mode. All that remains is to confirm your choice by clicking “OK”.

Method No. 3

There is another way to launch this feature on a tablet. First of all, turn off the tablet device, and then turn it on. At the same time, at the moment the logo appears, simultaneously press and hold the volume up and down buttons.

On some Samsung models, when you turn on and the company logo appears, you should press and hold the Menu button. This is what will enable safe mode.

How to disable safe mode on a tablet?

Often, users do not know how to disable Safe Mode, due to which some applications may simply not work. Including, in safe mode the device does not have access to the Internet. And this, you see, fundamentally limits the capabilities of the tablet.

To remove safe mode, you must:

  1. Turn off the tablet.
  2. Then remove the battery from it for at least 30-40 seconds.
  3. Then install the battery back.
  4. Turn on the device.

The tablet should now boot into normal mode. This means that all applications will work, including the fact that the user will have access to the network and various OS features.

If for some reason you cannot remove the battery from the tablet (perhaps the battery cannot be removed, like some models from Samsung and Lenovo), then you can disable safe mode in another way:

  1. Reboot your device.
  2. Next, as soon as the download begins, you should press and hold the “Home” button. However, it cannot be released until the loading is complete.
  3. The tablet should work as usual. However, again there is one caveat. Not all models of tablet computers can exit safe mode in this way (for example, this is not possible on some Irbis, ZTE, Huawei, Dexp, etc. tablets).

Therefore, we will tell you about the third method. It consists in the fact that you can disable safe mode on the tablet and simply reset it to factory settings. To do this, go to the “Settings” item, then to the “Backup and reset” subsection. However, this is a last resort. After all, after such a procedure, the tablet will be as good as new. In the sense that all applications, photos, games and other information (contacts, messages, etc.) will be deleted.

It is worth noting that you can often disable safe mode on Android by simply rebooting the device. Therefore, you should try all the methods described above only when restarting did not help you exit.Safe Mode.

Switching the device to shutdown mode is necessary when the user has finished working with the tablet and does not want to use up its battery anymore.

Planned shutdown involves the preliminary closure of all existing programs and the possible preservation of work. The user can then use the Start button.

Having selected the tab, click on the line “Shut down or exit”, and then use the “Shut down” command.

The Windows 8.1 version makes the “Power” button available, by clicking on which you can select the “Shut down” option, which will entail.

The InstantGo application can wake up the gadget from sleep mode, update existing programs, or quickly turn it off. To do this, you need to hold down the “Power” button for about four seconds. A shutdown message will appear on the screen, to confirm which you need to swipe your finger.

How to turn off or restart a tablet that is frozen

There are several methods for turning off the tablet, the most common and safest of them are:

  • The first option for dealing with a protesting device is to press the “Power” button and do not release it for a couple of seconds; such manipulation can provoke a power outage;
  • if this manipulation does not have the desired effect, you should connect the gadget to and find the hole next to the shutdown button. The word “Reset” is often written above it. There is a small button inside. By pressing on it with a thin, sharp object, such as a paper clip, you can achieve the desired shutdown;
  • The third way is the most drastic, since when using it you risk erasing information not saved on the tablet or damaging the memory drive. To prevent possible damage, you should remove the drive before performing the operation. If the device runs on the iOS operating system, the user must simultaneously press the “Home” and “Power” buttons. They must be held for up to 10 seconds until a picture with an apple appears on the monitor.

Owners of Android devices should press two buttons – volume up and “Power”; some models require an additional press of the “Home” button.

After completing these steps, a menu will appear on the screen where you need to select the “Settings” tab.

The operation can be done using simple buttons or the volume control. Next, the owner selects the “Format System” command, which contains the “Reset Android” option. This command allows you to reboot the tablet device.

Often, if you use your tablet correctly, problems and difficulties are unlikely to ever arise. However, any tablet computer or smartphone has a certain operating system, which can sometimes malfunction. In this case, it does not matter at all what kind of system is installed in the device, since there are no guarantees that problems will not arise in the future. In this regard, users are faced with such an unpleasant situation when the tablet may not respond to a certain command or simply freeze, and turning off is impossible. What needs to be done in this case and how to turn off the tablet?

Usually, it is Chinese tablets or smartphones on the Android system that are assembled in basements that have this drawback, but, nevertheless, famous brands sometimes have a similar problem.

Unnamed Android tablets and smartphones are much more difficult to revive, unlike other devices. Due to the fact that the tablet does not have a large number of buttons like laptops and home PCs, it is not possible to use key combinations.

Reasons for freezing

There are several reasons why a tablet freezes - software and hardware failures. Often it is because of the software that such an unpleasant situation occurs. However, you can try to eliminate this reason yourself. Hardware failures cannot be eliminated without the help of electronics repair specialists.

Viruses often cause damage to the system, which leads to a failure when working with the application.

If one of the boards is even slightly damaged, a faulty third-party device is connected, or charging simply does not work correctly, then there is a high probability that a hardware failure will occur.

Diagnosis of the problem

Not everyone knows how to turn off the tablet if it freezes. But you shouldn’t immediately take your tablet to a service center - first, try to understand when and due to what circumstances the device could freeze:

  • when installing programs;
  • when the tablet falls;
  • when installing a new version of the operating system.

It's also best to determine when exactly the freeze occurs:

  • when loading the tablet system;
  • while using the device;
  • after launching any application;
  • when surfing the Internet.

There are situations when the device freezes and cannot turn on, or turns on and freezes. In this case, it is difficult to understand what is the cause of this problem. If the essence of the problem is clear, then rehabilitation will be easier. Sometimes, after a simple system reboot, the tablet starts working without failures, however, if the problem recurs, you should use other recovery methods. In some cases, special applications help, which are capable of analyzing the reasons why freezes occur, which gives an understanding of what to do next.

What to do if your tablet freezes?

Let's look at some situations in which the tablet freezes and how you can turn off the tablet.

If the program freezes

If it is the application that causes the device to hang, then you can solve the problem by removing it or turning it off. If your tablet has an Android system installed, then you need to perform certain steps. First, you need to click on the icon where the settings are located, then find and click on the “Applications” line, look for the application we need, which we subsequently stop using a certain button, you can also delete it.

On an iOS system, you can try simply pressing the home button twice and dragging the app up with your finger to stop it.

If the tablet itself freezes

This problem can be solved in a very simple and effective way - rebooting the tablet. To do this, you need to press the power off button of the device and remove the SIM card and flash drive, and then turn on the device again. If after these operations the tablet works in normal mode, then you can continue to work with the device, but do not forget that you need to insert a memory card and a SIM card.

If after rebooting the situation has not changed, then you should turn off the tablet and remove the battery for a short time, however, they are often non-removable, then you need to wait until the device is completely discharged.

There are also times when a button may not respond. In this case, you must use the “reset” button. It can be found in a small hole. To press it, it is best to use a thin object, such as a needle or toothpick.

If the tablet does not respond to any commands

It happens that the freeze is so serious that the above methods do not help and the device does not reboot. For such a situation, “hard reset” is usually used. This method almost always helps, however, there is a high probability of losing any information stored on the tablet. Therefore, it is best to remove the memory card so that at least some of the data is safe.

To use this function, you must hold down the button combination. On Android devices, you need to hold down the power and volume keys. After this action, a menu will appear in which you need to click “Settings”, then the “Format System” mode and then “Reset”. Next, the tablet will reboot, but perhaps with some delay. It is worth considering that any information will be deleted (including games, photos, music, videos, etc.), and any user settings will be erased, that is, the device will have factory settings.

On IOS systems, you should press the main "home" and "power" buttons and the device should be turned on. You will have to hold it for about 5-10 seconds until it turns off.

If after all the procedures the device still cannot be revived, then there is no point in trying to turn it on or reboot it and, most likely, it needs to be taken to professionals in the repair of mobile equipment and electronics - otherwise the device may break completely and something will have to be done not easy.

How to prevent your tablet from slowing down and freezing

Typically, such a freezing problem occurs due to the fault of the user himself - as a result of his actions, system crashes appear. To prevent such an unpleasant situation in the future, you must adhere to certain rules:

  • you should not overload the device with numerous programs and applications that require high hardware performance;
  • sometimes you should carry out “general cleaning”, that is, get rid of accumulated garbage and clear the RAM (this way the tablet should not load more than 90%);
  • You cannot use programs and applications that do not have reliable sources;
  • You can only use official, unmodified firmware and a reliable antivirus, which must be updated promptly;
  • it is necessary to exclude mechanical damage and water ingress;
  • use the device in accordance with the instructions;
  • If any problems arise, you should use the services of a specialized repair service center.

The modern rhythm of life dictates its own rules; many have already given up spending time on the Internet on a PC and have preferred to use a tablet. But, as you know, any, even the highest quality equipment can work intermittently or even break down. Many users do not know what to do if the tablet freezes and does not turn off. If you have similar difficulties, then this article is just for you. If you are already trying to do something with a non-working gadget, hold off. It is very easy to make the problem worse.

So, what to do if the tablet freezes and won’t turn off? There are quite a few reasons for this. But this does not mean that you cannot figure out the problem yourself without technical knowledge. You will certainly be able to carry out the simplest diagnostics of your tablet. And given the fact that service centers charge a huge amount of money for work, you will also save. The main thing is to carefully and one by one follow all the recommendations.

First, we need to figure out what actually caused the breakdown, since all our subsequent actions to resuscitate the device depend on this. First of all, inspect the gadget to see if there is any significant damage. Remember if you have dropped the device in the near future. Or maybe someone else was using it and might have accidentally dropped it. So, having examined the tablet and found damage on it, you should take it, under warranty or without, to a service center. Even a minor impact can cause the contacts inside the device to come loose. In this case, it is strictly prohibited to repair the tablet yourself. If a gadget's screen is damaged, its non-working state can be explained very simply. Here, the fact that the tablet freezes and does not turn off does not play any role. If no damage is found, the device looks intact, and the scratches were caused before the problem, then we try to turn on the gadget again. You have already done this procedure many times, but now carefully monitor what is happening as you try to “breathe life” into the tablet.

There are several options for the development of events: A - The gadget boots up, but cannot turn on completely. B - The backlight lights up, but the tablet does not show any other signs of operation. C - The device does not respond to any of your actions at all. Let's try to analyze all these events thoroughly, starting with the last one. If the tablet freezes and does not turn on, does not show any signs of life at all, it will be difficult for you to figure it out yourself. It is better to contact a service center or equipment repair shop. If only the backlight turns on, there is a possibility that the device has a mechanical breakdown, but it is quite possible that the situation is due to some software freezing. It is recommended to perform all the actions that will be described below. If the measures do not help, contact the service center for help. The most common option is when the tablet does not turn on completely. As you know, there are now many virus programs that harm smartphones and tablets. Moreover, the Android operating system is complex and vulnerable to any unstable program. The system could have malfunctioned as a result of the device being turned off incorrectly.

We have come to the main question. What to do if the tablet freezes and does not turn off? Running the gadget in safe mode will help when it shows signs of life and responds to requests. When you start the tablet, go into safe mode and reset the system settings. It turns on differently on different tablet models. If your Samsung tablet freezes and won't turn off, use the following instructions. While holding down the power button, reboot your device. To confirm entering safe mode, tap OK. Reset to default settings and reboot the gadget again. If you want to format the tablet's memory completely, tap the "Delete All" button. If the Lenovo tablet freezes and does not turn off, perform the same operation as in the previous case. The system parameters for entering safe mode are quite similar for these tablets. No matter how offensive it may be to you, all data on your tablet will be deleted after this operation. But there is no other way.

Hello, dear readers! Surely many of you are owners of Android tablets. Such devices please with their performance after purchase, but over time, many users complain about the deterioration of this parameter.

If your Android tablet slows down, what should you do? How to restore the device to its former power?

Reasons for braking

There are only two options: the hardware has failed or a software failure has occurred. The latter happens more often, but first you need to rule out a hardware failure.

Hardware problems

Observe whether the device gets hot during prolonged use. If the answer is yes, then the processor or video card is overheating, which is why it freezes.

The only option for you is to give your tablet a rest after hard work.

It happens that it may turn off after loading some powerful program. In this case, it is recommended to take it to a service center for cleaning of the cooling systems.

An impact can cause braking. Impact damage can cause problems with the screen, which many regard as braking.


Neither the owners of Prestigio gadgets nor any other ones are insured against mechanical influences. In this case, you need to send the device to a service center for repair.

Connectable devices

Sometimes USB drives, keyboards, mice and modems cause problems with Android. This happens when the gadget is poorly assembled. Try disabling them and check the speed. It is also recommended to remove the memory card and SIM card.

If the performance improves, insert external devices one by one to identify which one is causing the glitches.

Software glitch

Despite the development of ever newer versions of the Android operating system, it has drawbacks. So what should you pay attention to? Let's find out!

OS update

Updates for the OS are constantly coming out. They fix detected bugs and glitches. If there is no automatic update, open the settings yourself and update the system.

Background applications

If the OS is updated and was fine before, the problem may be hidden in clogged memory. Go to settings, select “Applications”, then “Running” and disable those that you do not need.

This method allows you to clear the RAM, which is responsible for the stable operation of the gadget. If you notice improvements, you can forcefully remove unused programs. Pay special attention to RAM gobblers.

As you can see, lack of memory can significantly affect the performance of the gadget. This applies to both powerful Asus tablets and all others.

To avoid this, you need to defragment it more often, scan the device for incorrectly installed or incompatible applications, or viruses.

Frequent installation and removal of applications and programs fragments files. As a result, the tablet starts to slow down during hard work.

Safe mode

If you can't remove apps, go to safe mode. It will only display system services. You need to hold down the power button and volume rocker until the corresponding menu appears.

Then confirm the operation, remove conflicting applications and simply reboot the gadget.

Service software

If the tablet is very slow, download service applications to scan the device and clear the memory of debris. There are many free utilities that will scan, clean and provide a report and recommendations, such as CleanMaster.

Also check your device for viruses. Any free antivirus program will help with this.

Reset

If all else fails, restore factory settings. In the settings we find the item “Backup and reset”, then “Reset settings”.



Item “Reset settings”

Attention! Restoring factory settings involves deleting personal information, personal settings, and installed applications without the possibility of recovery.

Therefore, first save the necessary information on another device.

If this measure did not help, perhaps the firmware itself is buggy. In this case, you will need to reflash the tablet.

Problems with Samsung tablets

All of the above measures can also be used if you have a Samsung Tab 2 or 3. But there are two types of factory reset: software and hardware.

The first one allows you to select deletion options. Information is deleted both from the internal memory and from the card.

A hard reset is performed through a special menu, after which contacts, SMS messages, games and applications may remain.

How to perform a soft reset:

  • enter the menu, find the “Settings” item;
  • “Accounts” or “Personal Information”;
  • “Restore and reset” or “Backup and reset”;
  • “Reset settings” or “Reset data”;
  • "Delete everything".

After this, your Samsung Tab 3 or 2 tablet will permanently delete all existing information and return the gadget to its factory state.

How to do a hard reset:

  • hold down the volume and power buttons or hold down the home screen, power and volume keys;
  • in the menu that appears, select the item “Wipedata/Factoryreset” (move through the items using the volume button);
  • then agree to the reset by clicking “Rebootnow”.

After this, the Samsung tablet will either reboot itself, resetting the settings, or the recovery menu will appear, where you must act on the above points.

Power deficit

Finally, I would like to mention the characteristics of Android tablets. Happy owners of such devices happily download and install many useful and not so useful utilities, without thinking about the power of their device.

Glitches can occur with a large number of programs that load automatically and run in the background. Utilities that require certain performance characteristics may also be the culprits. So, before downloading any software or game, carefully study the performance of your gadget.

In conclusion, I would like to note that the longer the device hangs, the faster it will fail. If you do not understand the intricacies listed above, it is better to contact a service center.

Don't forget to keep an eye on your tablets and share what you find on social media!
