How to reboot your tablet

The tablets are equipped with the Android operating system, the operation of which is unstable to this day, despite the fact that the firmware is constantly updated. Not only official developers are engaged in improving the performance of gadgets, but also craftsmen with their fresh perspective release assemblies.

Despite this, every tablet needs a reboot, and it is the user's responsibility to know how to do it. The reason for freezing or any malfunction may be poor compatibility of background processes that the tablet itself launches. Sometimes you have to restart the device

How to reboot android

There are several ways to restart a tablet computer on an Android system. Conventionally, they are divided into two groups:

• Standard:
  • o Using the Power button. This method is absolutely the most common; it involves using the power button, which is found on every tablet. In order to use this method, you just need to hold down the indicated button for a few seconds until the screen goes dark. Switching on is carried out in the same way.
  • o Using a needle and the Reset key. Many tablets are equipped with a special button that cannot be pressed with your finger. It is located on the back of the case, and reveals itself as a narrow hole with the inscription Reset. You can press it only with a needle. The tablet then instantly reboots.Some personal settings or even data may be deleted, and even files may be partially damaged. In theory, this button destroys all traces of the user in the system, but in practice some of the data remains.
• Cardinal:
  • o Launch the software menu and reboot from there. A unique alternative to BIOS for personal computers, in which you can configure boot parameters. On a tablet, such a menu is called up by pressing two or three buttons, and here is a list of possible options:
    • Power on + volume up;
    • Power on + volume down;
    • Power on + Home + volume up;
    • Power on + Home + volume down;
    • Increase + decrease volume.
  • o If one of the key combinations worked and the interface switched to a dark monochromatic menu, then this is the type of BIOS entry typical for this tablet model and it is this that should be used every time if necessary. It is recommended to enter this menu not from the operating state of the gadget, but during startup. A branded android robot with a cut belly should appear on the screen, after which the menu will start working. It is entirely in English and does not respond to finger touches. The transition from one category to another is carried out by pressing the volume keys in the appropriate direction. To reboot, you must select Reboot system, and for a full reset to the factory state - Wipe data or Factory Reset, depending on the model.

Attention! Some sites that contain information about tablets recommend removing the battery if it freezes.

There is no need to do this - such treatment will lead to even more failures, and also, probably, damage to the battery. In the end, the tablet may simply burn out due to a sudden power surge.

How to restart iPad

Despite the fact that there are strict technological differences between an iPad and an Android tablet, rebooting an iPad is not much different from a similar process for a standard tablet computer.

iPads run primarily on iOS, but this system is somewhat more stable than Android, moreover, it is updated much more often and is constantly being improved. But even it is not immune to system failures when launching incompatible programs. After all, applications for iPad on the iOS system are constantly being developed, and it is impossible to keep track of their appearance, as well as prepare the system for each one. Therefore, even such “advanced” tablet computers may require a restart.

You can’t find the usual Reset on the iPad body, you shouldn’t even try. Shutting down is carried out by the following procedure: the power button must be held down until the slider pops up on the screen, which must be moved to the side. After this, the device will turn off. If after a few seconds you turn on the iPad, it will start without the same errors as before.

What can you do when your tablet freezes?

If you freeze for a long time, it is recommended to use the shutdown function using the Power button. This action will clear all cache data that was occupied by the system at the time of the freeze and which, accordingly, was the cause of the failure. If there is a SIM card or SD card inside the device, it is advisable to remove them before turning them on, as an error could occur due to their presence. 5-10 seconds after turning off the gadget can be turned on using the same button.

If this method does not help, and the device freezes for a long time, you can try resetting all changes through the computer.To complete this task, you will need to install the special RegawMOd rebooter program on your PC, as well as drivers for working with tablet devices, and root rights. All these elements can be easily found on the Internet in the public domain.

To run the downloaded program on Winows 7 and 8 systems, you will need to use administrator rights. After turning on the program, you need to insert the glitched tablet into the USB input hole on the system unit and, using the interface, reset the data. After this, the tablet should be as good as new.

If there are new bugs that appear in the system immediately after the reset, you need to examine additional devices included in the tablet (memory cards, SIM cards, etc.) for installed viruses. If this does not help, then it is recommended to change the firmware on the device.

Why does the tablet reboot just like that?

From time to time, inexperienced users have a situation where nothing bad seems to have happened to the device, but it just turns off. And further switching on may cause difficulties or the gadget will completely stop responding to pressing the power button. The reason may be very simple - the amount of electricity in the gadget’s battery has decreased, and it is so small that there is not enough energy to start the system (yes, the tablet needs to be charged). You need to connect the touch window to the power supply, wait a while (tablets take longer to charge than they last on this charge) and try again.

Attention! It is highly not recommended to use the tablet while it is actively charging.

Of course, such treatment will not completely ruin the gadget, and if an emergency arises, you can use it.Regular handling in this way will significantly reduce the total battery capacity, and after some time the tablet runs the risk of becoming “tied to the outlet.” Some gadgets themselves warn the user about this - a message pops up on the screen, as well as about listening to loud music on headphones.

But a dead battery is not the only reason for a sudden shutdown. The battery contact may not be firmly attached to the motherboard. This can happen if the tablet was once disassembled and not reassembled very well. To solve the problem, you need to disassemble the tablet again and insert the battery cable into the socket properly. Factory defects of this nature almost never happen.

And, of course, the activity of viruses. An infected system can cause the device to “flash”, draining the battery and breaking the interface. Antivirus programs will help you figure this out.

How is rebooting useful for your tablet?

If you manage to use the tablet, recharging it on time and not allowing the system to freeze, this is, of course, good, but you should not give up reboots completely.

Rebooting means updating the data with which the system works (not installing drivers, but simply introducing new variables), and this helps it get rid of minor errors. It’s like a dream for a person - he may not sleep for several days, but then he will still have to get a good night’s sleep, and with each new day without sleep, his work productivity will decrease. In this, electronic devices and living beings are similar.
