Dealing With A Frozen Dell Tablet
Consider the following scene from the movie called “My daily life”:
You wake up in the morning. It is Sunday and therefore no work, you want to go outside, but then it is raining. Not willing to catch an unintentional cold, you move back into your room, fire up your Dell tablet and start watching a movie. After about 10 minutes, you pointer starts to feel a little iffy; it is skipping frames. You then try to type in something, but there is no response. It is not until after 15 whole minutes that you realize that your device has been frozen.
Such meagerly tragic stories of annoyance are common in the word of tablets. Therefore it is prudent to fix such issues.
How can you fix the frozen Dell Laptops?
Dell is a brand that prides itself upon the sturdiness of its devices. To that end, it is kind of paramount to figure out as to why; a tablet of the same brand might suffer from menially devastating issues like freezing. Dell Repair centre brings you the following methods to resolve this very issue:
- Let us find the reason first: the first step to solving any problem in this world is to ascertain the cause. Therefore, we are first going to delve into the reason as to why it happened. Dell tablets often use Android 3.2 (honeycomb), which by today’s standards is pretty inadequate. Consequently, it cannot handle multiple applications and the result is system freeze.
- Restart the machine: if your device just restarted on its own, wait for a complete boot up. Once it is done, wait for a few minutes before interacting with the screen. If the matter wasn’t serious, the operations would resume normally. In case the system is frozen, hold on to the power button, and force reboot the Dell tablet.
- Use the Safe mode: In any computing system, there is a safe mode that while not fully entertaining to use would help you in a multitude of trouble shooting. Some heavy processor heavy applications play a major role in freezing any device. The same is true for a Dell tablet. Adding to the fact that it runs on a relatively old android version doesn’t win it any sympathy points. To help with the freezing, you might have to uninstall some third party software. Do this by starting the system on a safe mode. In this mode, no third party applications are allowed, this would smooth out the uninstalling process of the more demanding apps. As these apps are the reasons for your device freezing on you half the time. To do this,
- Turn off the tablet, and then turn it on.
- Once dell logo appears while booting, keep your thumbs firm on Menu button until a menu pops up.
- In this menu there is an option for “safe mode boot”; select and click it.
- Once the device has started in the safe mode, uninstall all of the heavy applications by going into settings-> installed apps->Select apps-> uninstall.
- The tablet factory: Much akin to its laptop resetting scenario, here too you must restore your Dell tablet to its basic factory setting, in one sweep; you would uninstall all the third party applications that might have caused the freezing issue. To perform this task, hold the power button. Once you are prompted with a power button on screen hold it, while holding the “volume up” button. You would not encounter a configuration screen which would give you an option to restore your tablet to its rudimentary and farm fresh days. This is a final call sort of method and GOD it does not scream finesse; but it indeed is effective.
So there you go folks, it finally falls down to resetting your hardware one way or another. If you have any more queries pertaining to this issue, contact Laptop Repairs Centre Gold Coast on our toll free number 1800-431-364.
