I have had my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1" for a few hours now and suddenly the recent key and the notification bar aren't working. I've attempted to pull down the notification bar but nothing is happening. I also found that when holding down the home key Google Now no long pops up when it used to. I've read that this is a common problem when having a magnet case on the device but I haven't got a case at all!
Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Since the tablet is brand new I'd try doing a factory reset in recovery. If that doesn't solve the problem then it's time to contact whomever you bought it from. You don't want to do anything that may void the warranty.

Hope that helps!

Hi, I am new to this forum. Sorry if this thread is not in the right place.
I own an O2 XDA Orbit 2 aka HTC Polaris and today evening it froze on me. I tried soft boot, restarting, getting the batt/sim, memory card out but it just wont get past the boot up screen.
Its got the windows mobile logo with a volume bar overlapping it. It just stays on that and I have no clue what I need to do to fix it. I am a bit stressed as it got all me emails and some personal pictures and data which I cannot access.
I have also connected it to my PC via USB bit it wont let me explore the device. I would really appreciate it if someone can advise me on how to go about fixing this problem.
Many thanks

Hello there,
i have got the same problem as this gentleman has mentioned above, is it possible that someone can help us out with this annoying problem, i am very disappointed because its only 2nd day of my orbit 2 and it started behaving like this, your urgent replies will be highly appriciated.
Thanking you in advance.
I have had this a couple of times with my orbit - windows logo and volume bar just stting there. The only way I have resolved it is to perform a hard reset.
My GT-P6200 just ressurected from bricked a few days ago. Samsung centre change the mainboard. After a while i just notice there are some app called "Factory Mode" on the Home Screen. Its like a calculator. I dont know what the hell is that thing, so i just leave there.
My main concern here is, my tablet no longer have the lock screen. I cant lock my screen from the setting menu, no matter what i did. Same goes to power button issue. Whenever i long push the power button, my tablet when shutdown without any other option like reboot.
I've read and tried the solution by senior member tracid from Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development, but no luck with that.
Really need help with this issue, i dont know if im the only one with this problem after changing the mainboard. Pls help me with this issue.
Thanks in advance
Hi, I have the same problem, and like you, the issue started after the main board replacement by Samsung. Tried to revert, back to GB, wipe data but no Lock screen.

also read through the 10.1 thread and try everything.
or you could always return/call samsung and tell them you cant use your tab like this and to fix it right/do some QC, before letting this stuff out the door.
cheers
thanks chris,
guess im sending my device back to Samsung this morning. Dont how long it takes to repair this. Samsung Service in my place damn too slow, it took them 1 month to change my main board.
Hello guys, I've had a Galaxy Note 10.1 since November and yesterday the backlight connection went. Basically you had to hold the tablet in a certain way for the backlight to come on and to use it. I thought the tablet was totally dead (perhaps the exynos problem going around) but then as I was packing it away the screen flickered on and I took my hand off it and it went off. So the problem seemed to be that a connection was loose or something. Anyway I backed up everything to Kies and went to Tesco to get a new one. They offered me a full refund or a replacement, so I took a replacement.
Now I've charged it up and when I try to restore my backups from Kies nothing happens. They are all there and it recognizes my Note 10.1. It is stuck at "Preparing to start restore process..." but after 2 hours it hasn't gotten anywhere. I've even tried selecting less items to restore but no luck. Does anyone have a solution to my problem? Thanks for your help!
Bump!

Suggestion would be to try Kies or Samsung forum .

Hi. I bought Note N8010 yesterday and everything is OK, almost. When I turned on the device I notice yellow text with spec of the device on the home screen. If I use any other program and go to menu the box desapear but as soon as I return on home screen I have yellow box and text. Its early for rooting the device and trying to fix the problem in that way, so does anybody have the solution or have to ask for replacement. Thanks in advance.
Its called Factory Mode. The only way I know of to get it of it requires root though, unfortunately.

If you bought it yesterday then take it back to be replaced under warranty... It isn't supposed to be like that...
So i recently changed my password on my samsung galaxy S5 on Sprint and i woke up the next day and couldn't remember it...long story short i'm stuck on the lock screen to enter password and i've done it over 400 times and all it does is time me out for 30 seconds at a time. i was wondering if there is ANYTHING out there that can READ my password or if i can bypass the lock screen without losing any of my stuff that's on my phone. I've been without it since last Sunday, I can only receive calls and adjust the ringer volume on it. ANYTHING I MEAN ANYTHING will be HELPFUL...(i don't want to hard reset my phone and lose everything)….X.O.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear about your trouble but we cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist . Fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 where you have already posted a similar thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/help/forgot-phone-lock-screen-password-t3192011. Please be patient and give the experts there plenty of time to respond.
Good luck!
