If you are an active user of Lenovo technology, you may have encountered problems such as slowdowns and lags. Of course, this is typical for every electronic device, without exception, but I want to talk specifically about this brand, since I myself am a user of products from this brand. In this article we will try to analyze in as much detail as possible how to reboot a Lenovo tablet if it freezes. I'm sure this will be useful to someone.

In this article I will try to give universal advice for all devices of the brand, although I used the specific Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 model, and I also used the methods described below for a tablet lenovo tab 2. Various models may use different keys for reboot and reset, so some tips for Tab 2 will not work for others, but we will discuss this below.

How to determine the causes of the problem

First of all, try to analyze the current situation. There is a significant difference between when the device periodically works slowly and when the tablet freezes completely - it simply stops working and responding to any actions with it. Can you use the sensor, does the screen and basic functions of the device work, or does everything stop after turning it on - stuck on the screensaver and unresponsive?

It is also important to distinguish, does this happen all the time or only under certain conditions? Is your device working fine right now, but experiencing poor performance in some situations, or not functioning at all? Having decided on the answers to the questions posed above, look at the main causes of your problem and understand how to make it work.

1. Software glitch - common reason Why does the tablet freeze? You have installed many different applications, some of them conflict with each other. This is easy to determine if immediately after installing/updating/launching third-party software, the Lenovo tablet crashes, does not respond to anything and does not turn off. The solution to such a problem is described below.
2. Problems with hardware. This is a serious problem. When the device turns off after a fall and does not want to function when turned on, you will probably have to contact service center. Try the methods at the bottom of the article and if they helped, great, but if not, take the device for repair.

How to bring your Android device back to life

If you still have the ability to use the touchscreen or at least the device responds to button presses, you can do a “soft” restart. To do this, press and hold the device's Power key until it turns off completely - about 5-10 seconds. Launch with the same button. It worked - good, no - move on. You will have to restart using the “hard” method, the so-called Hard Reset. This method involves completely deleting all data from the gadget, so if you have something important there, try to make a backup (save the files) if possible. But if everything is frozen and not working, this will not always be possible.

To begin with, if your gadget has a Reset key on its body, use it. It is made specifically for such cases, but you don’t see it often on modern Androids. To prevent accidental pressing, such keys are made to sink inwards and can only be pressed with a thin stick. Hold for 5-10 seconds, then turn on the device as usual.

Hard Reset

What to do, how to restart the Lenovo tablet? On different devices Different key combinations are responsible for this, these could be:

• Power and volume up button (Volume+);
• volume down (Volume-) and Home button;
• Home, Volume+ and power key;
• the same thing, but with Volume-;
• Volume+, Volume-, Power.

After pressing and holding the key combination (the buttons must be pressed simultaneously), a window with various options should appear. Look for "Wipe data", " Factory reset"or something similar. We switch between the items using the volume down/up buttons, select desired item using Power. Select Wipe data, then Yes. Wait until all data is deleted. After that, look for an item similar to Reboot and select it. The computer should restart.

When will it appear main screen, I advise you to perform another reset - through the settings (“Data reset” or something similar).

Well, now you have done the basics to bring life back to your gadget. If the described actions did not help, I am very sorry for you - apparently, you will have to go to a service center or give it to some technician for repair. If a mechanical failure leads to similar results, you will not be able to fix anything without specialized knowledge.

Conclusion

I hope our tips helped you. Try the universal algorithm described above. If I missed some way that you similar problem helped, it is very advisable to write about it in the comments below: this will definitely help some of our visitors. See you on the pages of the site!

Video instruction

None of the tablet manufacturers Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, Tab 3, Tab 4, Note, Lenovo Yoga, Prestige, Asus Zenpad, Irbis, Digma Optima, explay, Huawei, Acer, texet, Megafon, oysters, Sony, nexus, ousters, explay, dns, dexp, supra, tesla, wexler, turbokids princess, iconbit and others do not hide the fact that they can freeze.

A simple reboot usually solves the problem. You need to turn it off and on again (before turning it on, it doesn’t hurt to take out the battery if it’s removable).

Who doesn’t know how to turn off the tablet when it freezes when turned on on the screensaver and does not respond to anything?

Sometimes the tablet hangs due to program bugs, for example, when there are too many of them running at once, but most often the memory is to blame. In general, the following reasons can be identified:

• lack of free memory;
• damage to board contacts;
• connecting incompatible equipment.
• Installing applications not intended for this device;
• virus attack;
• error in system files operating system;
• factory settings failure.

When eliminating freezes, you first need to identify the cause - make a diagnosis:

1. this happens all the time;
2. started freezing after the update;
3. The Internet picture, application, or inscription freezes when loading, in games, videos, for example, on YouTube or when watching movies;
4. the sensor or system freezes;
5. Freezes while charging or at any time;
6. it gets stuck and freezes after 10 minutes, or if it works, it doesn’t slow down;
7. Freezes in sleep mode or always.

Having found out at least the reasons above, it will be much easier for you to determine what to do to correct them.

I will give here only basic recommendations on what to do, but there may also be rare individual certain phones android, such as lenovo a3000, irbis tz60, prestige multipad 7.0, dixon g750, samsung galaxy note n8000, texet tm 9720, megafon login 2, huawei media pad 10, onda v811, pocketbook a10 and any chinese.

The first thing to do if your Android tablet keeps freezing

As I wrote above, usually a simple reboot solves the problem (manufacturers recommend doing it at least once a week and have even integrated a tool for automatic reboot, even daily).

If your tablet is Lenovo yoga, Samsung galaxy tab,asus, prestigio multipad, huawei, asus zenpad, dns, Irbis or digma began to freeze constantly, then the first thing I recommend doing is to start it in safe mode. Who doesn't know how

Safe mode Very few tablet owners use Android because they don’t know about it. Even on the Internet there are few reminders about it.

How can he help you? You will determine whether the reason is software or hardware, since only built-in applications and functions will work in it. If the freezes stop, then the problem is in the applications that you installed yourself.

What to do if the tablet freezes using built-in applications

If there are many applications or processes running at once, then there may be a shortage random access memory. This is especially true for inexpensive tablets.

They usually have very little memory, both RAM and internal system memory - it may not even be enough to store one movie.

Tablet owners often install many different applications and games, but remember that everything has its limits.

If we cram too many games or programs onto our device, it may start to run slowly, even after overclocking the processor and regularly freeing up memory.

Therefore, try, as far as possible, to remove everything that is unnecessary and see what happens.

What to do if the tablet freezes and does not respond to the screen

If on a tablet touch screen does not respond to anything, this does not necessarily mean that it is frozen.

The reason for the lack of response to touches may be damage to the screen itself. This mainly happens through impacts.

Less often through system software errors. If you haven't mechanically damaged your screen, there are a few things you can try.

Try restarting or rebooting your device. If you have connected peripherals, check if they are blocking the screen.

You can also calibrate the screen (some models have a built-in tool for this).

If your tablet stops responding when using a specific app, try uninstalling it.

If your tablet still freezes even after all the methods in this article, you will most likely need to perform a factory reset.

Reset the device to its original settings: in settings, tap " Backup and reset" > "Factory settings" > "Reset tablet" > "Erase everything".

At the same time, do not forget to do backup copy all important data available in internal memory devices.

ATTENTION: you may have security protection enabled, then when you try to restore factory settings you will be prompted to enter your username and password Google account, which you used to enable protection.

The tablet slows down and freezes - speed it up

Try to clear your data cache from time to time. To do this, you can use applications, for example - Task Manager ES, which offers a small widget on the desktop.

You can also use the application - Task Killer, which allows you to easily kill all running processes in the background.

You can also overclock the processor - for this there is also special programs, but AT YOUR OWN RISK (you can increase the frequency from 1 GHz to 1.2 GHz, which has a positive effect on operating speed, but, unfortunately, a negative effect on battery life.

REMEMBER!!! If you want to overclock your processor, you need to do it gradually, and not immediately install the available maximum value, because you may damage the device.

You can also set the lowest acceptable clock frequency processor and its operating mode.

Conclusion

Freezes more often Chinese fakes or little-known manufacturers. This is not a disaster and most freezes can be fixed on your own.

There are, of course, cases when you can’t do without a specialist - it all depends on the reason: hardware or system.

Fixing hardware problems is much more difficult than software problems, which are usually fixed at home.

If the tablet was working stably and suddenly began to freeze, then remember what you did with it recently and try to reverse the device.

Perhaps your tablet needs to be reflashed or updated, and do not forget about viruses that can “load” the processor to 100%, then it will definitely start to freeze. Good luck.

A tablet computer is an advanced device that is extremely popular.

The popularity of the tablet is explained by the following factors:

• The tablet can perform the functions of a telephone;
• The compact size of the tablet makes it very convenient for travel and traveling;
• The functionality of the tablet is extremely rich. Sometimes it even exceeds the functionality of a laptop.
• the presence of a touch display, the dimensions of which determine the size of the portable device.

Despite all the advantages of a tablet computer, it is not a flawless device. Its imperfection is primarily manifested when it freezes. Most often this happens with tablets from Chinese manufacturers, but there are situations when devices from brands such as Apple or Samsung also freeze.

Identifying the cause of the freeze is very important in order to understand what to do when the tablet freezes and does not turn off.

There are a great many reasons why a tablet computer freezes, but they can all be divided into two huge classes:

• software;
• hardware.

A software glitch is the most common type of tablet freezing, which is quite easy to fix yourself.

If there are errors related to hardware, it will not be possible to solve the problem without the help of a service center. The causes of errors caused by the hardware component of the device are very numerous and understandable only to a very limited circle of tablet users. Often a hardware problem occurs due to the connection incompatible devices

to the tablet.

• Causes of errors caused by the software component of the device:
• infection of the device’s operating system with viruses and other malicious codes;
• incorrect functioning of a specific program; damage system files
• operating system;

failure of basic device parameters.

We make diagnostics

When your tablet freezes, it is very important to correctly diagnose the problem.

• You should also clarify the time when the problem is activated:
• turning on the tablet;
• during operation;
• when running a specific program;

The case when the device neither turns on nor turns off is the most critical, since it is very difficult to identify the cause of the problem. If the source of the problem is identified, then the repair process is much clearer and simpler. In most situations, a trivial reboot of the tablet helps. If the problem cannot be solved, then there are other methods for resuscitating the tablet.

Fixes

First, try pressing and holding the on/off key for 15-20 seconds until Tablet PC It won't turn off on its own. If this does not help, then you should try one of the alternative ways to fix your tablet freezing. Let's take a closer look at them.

When programs are stuck

Often the tablet freezes due to the operation of certain low-quality software. In this case, it is recommended to disable it, followed by uninstallation.

On Android devices this is done like this:

You can uninstall the program in the same menu. In this method, it is extremely important to correctly determine which specific application complicates the normal functioning of the tablet. To solve this problem, it is recommended to experiment a little, gradually disabling the program until an acceptable result is achieved.

On devices with IOS, to turn off the program, press the “HOME” key on the front side twice, then, while holding your finger on the program to be stopped, press the “minus” button.

With a non-responsive tablet

Sometimes the device may freeze completely. What to do in a situation where the tablet does not respond at all? The only solution to the problem is to completely reboot the device.

The most trivial way is to turn off the tablet, remove SIM cards and storage media from it, and then turn it back on “idle”. This alternative way, often just an “overclocking” tablet. After the device has successfully started up, all storage media should be returned to their place.

But how to turn it off portable device, if it freezes and does not respond to the power key? For this it is necessary to back side tablet find a small hole. This is the reset button, which must be pressed with something sharp.

HARD RESET method

More global problems with hardware often occur. For example, what should you do if your tablet freezes so much that it doesn’t even turn on or turns on but the screen doesn’t respond?

In this situation, you can use a very effective option. In this case, all data stored on the device will disappear. This is a huge minus this method. Therefore, its use is advisable only in the most difficult situations.

To save at least some information, you need to remove the memory drive from the tablet. For this option, each tablet has a specific combination or sequence of keys that reboots the tablet or calls up a special menu.

iOS

When the tablet is turned on, press the “HOME” and “POWER” key combination. Then you should wait a little (5-7 seconds) until the manufacturer’s logo appears on the screen.

ANDROID

In ANDROID devices, a combination of holding the “POWER” key and the volume up key is used. There are situations when you should also press the “HOME” key. In this case, the tablet will show a menu where you need to highlight the “Settings” item using the volume key, and then “Format System”.

After selecting the menu item " Reset Android", the tablet will reboot, which will last quite a long time.

Factory reset on Android

As a result of this solution to the problem, the device returns to factory settings and becomes almost clean. Among the disadvantages of this method, it is important to note that you will need to re-enter your personal data, install programs, etc.

Precaution

To avoid a situation associated with freezing and the impossibility of normal overload of the tablet, it is necessary to observe several precautions, namely:

• use only original firmware;
• do not use applications from unreliable sources;
• Good antivirus software is a must;
• protect electronic device from mechanical influences and moisture.

If the problem is only in the software, then the solutions described above will certainly help you. And if this is not the case, then there is a problem in the hardware, then it is recommended to go to a service center, since only experienced engineers will be able to resuscitate your tablet computer.

Let's simulate the situation - Saturday evening, you are sitting on your favorite sofa with a cup of cocoa and a box of chocolates, or at the counter of an equally favorite bar with a mug of beer and a bowl of nuts. You have your trusty tablet in your hands, watch videos on Youtube or just chat with friends on social networks, but then something terrible happens - the screen freezes, the touchscreen does not respond, and your weekend evening is ruined. So, the tablet is frozen, what should you do in this case?

The tablet may freeze at the most inopportune moment

First, let's figure out what could cause such inappropriate behavior of the device. As a rule, in 90% of cases, the user himself is to blame, having committed certain actions during the operation of the gadget that directly or indirectly led to its unstable operation. Reasons can be of two types:

• programmatic;
• various problems with hardware, simply put, with hardware.

If the hardware is to blame

If the tablet freezes due to some hardware problems, and these include physical damage as a result of falls or impacts, exposure to high or low temperatures, or moisture getting into the device, then nothing can be done about it at home. You need to take the gadget to a service center. Moreover, as a rule, all of the above cases do not apply to warranty.

There may also be problems due to the wrong one: cheap Chinese adapters most often cannot boast high quality and can easily damage the internal circuits of the device, or even lead to its complete failure. Therefore, we recommend using only branded charging device and follow the rules of their use.

When the software is buggy

If, in trying to figure out why the tablet freezes, you came to the conclusion that it is to blame software, that is, there is every chance of coping with the problem on your own.

The first step is to recall in memory the chain of actions after which the problem appeared. This will help determine the root cause, because software problems can be very different types. For example, the source of all troubles may be some application that was recently installed or launched. In this case, it is likely that removing it can help.

Another probable reason is an attempt to launch resource-intensive applications or “heavy” games on budget devices with not the strongest hardware. This kind of experimentation causes the processor to overheat, which is not able to cope with the load and may well begin to malfunction, which, in turn, can lead to the application crashing or, alternatively, to the tablet freezing.

Now you know a little more about what to do if your tablet suddenly starts to slow down and freeze. It’s better not to wait for it to freeze completely, but to try to localize the problem and fix it in advance, so that your Saturday evening doesn’t suddenly turn into a hopelessly ruined one. And those who shared this article on social networks are less likely to experience freezes on their gadgets!

The tablet seems like a pretty simple device. In fact, this is a complex technique that must be handled carefully. But even those who take the “pill” very carefully have troubles. For example, freezing is a common situation where users get lost. What to do if your tablet freezes? Without identifying the problem, it is impossible to answer the question posed. We will divide all the causes of freezing into two groups:

• software;
• hardware.

So, in order to understand what to do if the tablet freezes, you first need to find out the nature of this freeze. If the reason is a program failure, then it will be easier to deal with. Everything becomes more complicated if there is a hardware failure - then you will need the help of a specialist. Let's take a closer look at each problem so that you know what to do if your tablet freezes.

Software failures can be caused by:

• file corruption;
• OS (operating system) settings;
• viruses.

Hardware problems occur due to:

• defects and damage to batteries;
• problems with board components (system);
• unsuccessful connections with various devices, which may be faulty.

Important points

Only after understanding the root cause of the problem will you understand what to do. If your tablet freezes, check the following points:

• when exactly the problem appears: when launching an application, when loading or during operation, when accessing the network or at other times;
• what preceded the freeze: software installation, device crash, new firmware etc.

Consider that you have done 50 percent of all the work if you find a pattern and the cause of the problem. However, there are difficulties with diagnosis, and the problem may not be classifiable.

Saving the tablet when it freezes

Once you find out the cause of the problem, start fixing it. First you need to restart the tablet: turn it off, and then turn it on. If the freezes disappear, then the problem was due to incorrect loading systems.

Is it due to a specific program? It needs to be removed, you can try installing it again. Sometimes it helps to remove all programs installed before the freeze.

Remove any add-ons (flash drive, SIM card) from the device. Failures happen because of them. Antivirus scanning also helps.

When the measures you take don't work, act tougher. Update the firmware. Many users notice, for example, that if it freezes, flashing it from the official website helps. This is a common problem with devices from this manufacturer.

Hard Reset helps, returning the system to the original settings (factory) of the system.

If this does not work, there may be a hardware failure. In this case, contact customer service.

• install antivirus;
• no need to install dubious programs;
• avoid modified firmware;
• try not to hit or drop the device;
• Protect tablets from exposure to liquids.

It often happens that the tablet freezes and does not turn off. In this case, there is a simple tip - hold down the power button and hold it for a while, the tablet will restart. But this does not mean that you have solved the problem. Perhaps it will remain, then you need to look for the cause of the breakdown so that the “electronic friend” no longer upsets you.
