Perform a hard reboot. Hold the power button, volume down button, and home button for about 10 seconds. It should force your device to restart.

I have done the hard reboot. But once the ATT symbol comes on it locks up again. I saw someone else suggested removing the battery but I can't get the case open.

Simply wanted to say that I appreciate the help. Worked immediately. I was so upset. Thanks ever so much.

This happened to me tonight and I was just sick. Found out on here to simply HOLD DOWN POWER BUTTON AND VOLUME DOWN BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME FOR 10 SECONDS.. Problem solved. Sure saved me a lot of worry and I am sure money.

Ive had my poor sammy give me the freeze many times with total NO response to home page return cant adjust sound ect ! All I could do is send it to its room with no dinner ( the battery completely wears down ) then recharge battery at which time it returns to its completely charming self with a look that says whats your problem Geesshhh? The first time it ever happened I ran right back to its place of adoption and allowed certified geek to convince me whole system needed updating Arrrrrrrr! I lost some of its best features and was left with the most annoying pop up along the bottom every time you touch by accident up they pop covering a third of your screen and providing no nutritional value €(^;^)? Hope this was helpful ? The real head scratcher is why samsung has not found a solution to this very annoying and ongoing problem !

I've tried this several times without results. The Tab A T-550 stopped in the middle of a search, blank black screen. No responce to any combination of button presses for 15 sec. or more.
