Try just holding down on the power switch for maybe 5 secs or more. This 'SHOULD' force a shutdown but at least you should get a clean start up. I can't guarantee that your laptop will restart properly because that depends on what caused the problem in the first place... Al

JamJo,, At that stage I had been using tablets for about only a VERY short while (maybe only week or so) , so they and Android O/S were new to me... Lots of water under the bridge for me since then though... I am sure that most or at least many tablets have a reset button hole somewhere and...

You may have to use the good old Google machine to find a proggy to do this. I am sure I saw one just the other day too, but I prefer to leave them where they are... Use your imagination and type in something like - move my apps to SD card android, or, APK Google accepts all search patterns, so...

I usually use my old favorite file handler, Total Commander, although in Android (tablets anyway), it is a bit cumbersome compared to the PC version, on a cellphone it's near impossible with the small screen, and most men don't have the ideal fingers size for such a small precise operation,, I...

Forgive me for saying this - but - It sounds abundantly clear that the 'typical' thing has happened that happens to most, if not all, small electronics gadgets when they have been dropped on the floor. It seems to have suffered a catastrophic failure from something internal sustaining physical...

True (Mohanadmohammed),, I use Total Commander v2.61 for Android. It's so different from the PC version I'm so used to (I'm very new to tablets and Android) but it still gets the job done. You can move almost any file(s) from where they are to where you wish. Just be careful of what you DO move...

I can only add a similar answer to the one I just answered for another guy/gal a bit further up the page with similar issues,,, Make sure you actually plug that charger in - PROPERLY. I have had numerous similar experiences with my tablets. I usually charge both my tablets on my bed from an...

I hope you have already fixed it, but here's a similar experience... I left one of my tablets on standby as opposed to a complete power down for about a week and forgot about it, and just yesterday I tried to turn it on. I too had a very similar battery icon show up for a few seconds then it...

Your symptoms (well at least your tablets symptoms) point towards a battery which is faulty. Usually, when a battery gets hot while trying to charge normally, and provided you have got the correct charger, that means it may have developed a high internal resistance and is possibly shorting out...

Are you referring to "saving" to microSD card as in simply copying an installer (eg - ***.apk) or any other file to the SD card,, or,, installing apps/games onto the SD card..??? These are two very different operations, not to be confused with each other... 1).. If you mean copying the app or...

1. Is the battery flat of its power - that makes starting up very hard indeed...??? Charge it then try again... 2. Are you pressing down on the power button correctly..?? Of course, you have to hold that button down for an extended amount of time to get it on its way, don't you..!!! No, I...

Thank you very much sir... That makes life a bit easier... Al

***I do all my installs offline, manually ONLY...!!! When you already have installed apps on your tablet and you see and download an updated version of those apps, should you first uninstall the existing app then install the updated version or can you simply install the updated one over the top...

Thanks for that Titillating... I've sort of found a little bit about them since my post but I'd really like to get rid of most or even all of them. They just clutter up system resources or storage room, I'm sure... I'll visit your suggested link. Many thanks... Al Just further to this reply -...

Good morning guys/gals.. My tablet is just a generic 10.1" 1.3Ghz Android 5.0 Lollipop (however I don't think make/model is that important here). I like it and it runs well.. I have installed a few (perhaps up to about 15) apps of various descriptions and I was shocked yesterday when I went to...
