Question

My Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 won't go past the Samsung frozen symbol. What can I do?

Community Answer

Try leaving it on charge for a day until it has been fully charged and see if it turns on. If not, keep trying to turn it on until you waste the battery, then fully charge again. Unfortunately, you cannot reboot a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.

Question

How do I unfreeze a Samsung if none of the buttons are working?

Community Answer

Push the little undo spot on the frame of the tablet. If this doesn't work, turn it off, unplug it, give it a minute or two to "rest", then try it again.

Take of the back cover and remove the battery. Wait 10 seconds to let the components loose charge, and put the battery back in. Then just hold the power button until it starts the boot process.
