Note 1: English isn't my fluent lenguage.
Hi Everybody, I got a few questions and I hope you guys can help me.
I got a galaxy tab 3 7.0 and the tab got some issues
First, it doesn't have a keyboard, sounds awkward but it doesnt have any kind of keyboard, when you turn on the tablet, appears the "wizard" asking your lenguage etc... but when it asks you for something you have to type, there are no keyboards avaliable, not even the "voice" thing...
2nd, if you try to skip every step from the "wizard" it stop working, and obviously warns you... and the only choice you have is to "stop" the process, then it starts over and over again...
¿How can I fix this?
I hope you know how to fix this, please!... thank you very much guys!
Have a good day!
I assume the tablet is not new? First let's reset the tablet and see if that resolves the issue.
Turn tablet off.
Press and hold the volume up and power buttons,
when logo appears release power button and hold volume up button in.
This should get you into recovery.
Using the volume down button highlight wipe data/factory reset.
Press volume up and accept to reset your device.
If this does not solve the issue then post back here and we can try something else

OK, so my little 9 year old brother got the Acer Iconia Tablet A100 so he wouldnt feel so left out that everyone else in the household has a tablet but not him, well he thought he would be smart and turn off the wifi and place a lock on it. Well he forgot the lock code and after many attempts he has to login with his google credentials, but the problem is that the wifi is off so it wont fix anything. So im trying to format it for him, I can get to the recovery screen, but only the volume buttons will work and the no other button will let me confirm the selection. Dose anyone know what i can do?

1. Place the rotation lock switch in the up position
2. Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the rotation lock
3. With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4. Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5 Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
6. Once the factory reset has been completed your tablet will load to the Welcome screen.
7 Your Factory Data Reset has completed now follow the onscreen steps to setup your tablet.

Hard reset the tablet, you'll lose everything, but it will revert to factory condition.
Power off the tablet
Hold Volume + (the one furthest from the power button/ lock switch, right if holding landscape)
While holding Volume + press and hold the Power button
Once it turns on, holding the Volume +, release Power and wiggle the lock switch up and down a few times.
Screen will then say its formatting or resetting or whatever it says.
After this completes, it may reboot, or power off, or continue booting into android, whatever it does, just let it go into android
It should greet you with the Welcome screen for setup.
Resume playing with it.
Edit: Ah I was gonna link a youtube video but Romman0 beat me to it! I must be getting slow in my old age.
Lol, I just happened to be on.
I was editing a bunch trying to get the [tube] code to work (to no avail) and added text instructions.

Can I do a hard-reset once I have unlocked bootloader & installed a custom recovery? Is there a way to go back to stock recovery?

You can still hard reset yes but it only erases user data nothing else.
If you want to go back to stock use one of the update.zip methods in vaches stock rom thread. It'll go back to stock recovery. If you want just the stock recovery there's a stock recovery.IMG around somewhere I'll see if I can find it.
Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
So I activated Universal Switch on S6 Edge to check it out, something went wrong in the settings (long story short, got a pop up while setting it up), now screen unresponsive.
It works, I just get this blue horizontal line scanning the screen and nothing else but the power button and home button works. Tried safe mode, no bueno. How can I disable US feature without resetting to factory or at least no data wipe (if possible!)?
Android 5.0, rooted with pingpong, no custom recovery, knox 0x0.
All help is appreciated.
Same
[The exact same thing just happened to me someone please help
Fixed!
The way I had fixed this is by holding down the power button, both up and down sound buttons, and the home button until it restarted. When the device turned back on it gave the option to turn the setting off. Hope it helped!

how to turn off universal switch
hit home button 3 times
Thanks alot
It worked buddy
It doesn't give me the option to turn it off
Hi,
I have been struggling with Universal Switch on a Samsung S5 Neo. I switched it on, but was never able to switch it off again.
These are findings so far:
-> Did a factory reset using "Sound Up", "Home" and "Power" button simultaneous.
-> The device comes back and wants to configure itself again.
-> I restored my settings from Google, but this immediately brought back "Universal Switch"
-> Factory Reset again and configured the device, but told Google that I want to use it as a "New Device".
-> Now I can use my device in a proper way.
-> In Google Play Store I find all my Apps which were linked to my account and reinstalled them and I am back in business again.
-> Took me half a day to sort this out.
The programmer who designed and programmed this should be hung and shot and poisoned, because this is absolute Crapware.
Hope this helps for all the others who are suffering.
You can also push the home button three times and it should turn it off.
thank u ur the best
Ok, so i have exactly the same problem except my home button doesn't work
Anyone one know how to sort this without having to take it in to a store?
I was faced with this problem before and looked everywhere and couldnt find a fix. This was a while ago. So I dont remember what I did to clear it. I was cleaning off the screen and touched the home button as I was wiping it off and the problem began again.... I just came across your comment because all the others failed. I pressed the home button 3 times quickly and the blue lines stopped scrolling. In addition, I went over the accessibility and I turned off the "Universal Switch" option as much as the option allows. I hate this function. I do not use it or need it (for my needs). I hope I can remember what to do next time this happens. I swore to myself I would remember last time, but apparently that wasnt a guarantee. This time, I will write it down and put is somewhere I know I will find it next time I see these nefarious blue lines scrolling. Hopefully I wont see it again since I disabled it more than it was to begin with. Thank you ever so for commenting. You saved me a lot of frustration!
great fix

Hello,
I have activated Universal Switch option Screen - Volume Increase button on S6 Edge upgraded version of android 6.0 and but it messup everything.. I am now unable to access any feature on screen.. none of the button are working on screen.
I have also tried rebooting it with the option suggested by you.. but I am locked due to password protected... My device not asked to disable Universal Switch option after reboot as well..
Please help, how to get this Function Disable, without affecting my data as I do not wish to loss any of my data..
So what the heck is that scanning blue line option supposed to do?

Hi guys,
since yesterday i have a weird issue with my samsung tablet. It won't turn on anymore. If I try a hard reset it does not react at all. I pressed The power + volume up as well as power+vol up+ home button for ages. If i try power + volume down it shows a display with
" warning!!! a custom OS can cause critical problems......... Volume up:continue Volume down: Cancel (restart phone) "
I've tried both options. If I hit vol down it just turn black again and nothing happens, if i press the up button the next screen tells me it's in download mode and i must not turn it off.
Since the screen stays on for ages it cannot be an batterie issue i guess. After a while i really did turn it off. But the problem persists.
Another important thing to mention. The day before i installed NordVPN and played a bit with it. Same on my iPad and my iPad had the very same issue the next day. Luckily the hard reset on the Ipad worked right away. It turned on again and i deleted the NordVPN.
Do you have any idea how to fix this, and maybe what caused it.
Thank you very much!!
Your in the S1 section not the S3 one, though what fixes an S1 boot problem most likely fixes an S3 as well, below is the link to the S3 section.
Good Luck.

sorry thought its for all galaxy tab s
I restarted my Note 10+ and now it is not showing the keyboard for me to type in my pin. There's no option (afaik) to reboot once again. Anyone experienced similar issue? How to resolve this? Thanks in advance everyone
UPDATE: Unlocked phone from Samsung website but if anyone has a different solution, it would be nice to share for reference of other users.
Did it randomly disappear or have you rooted and maybe removed the keyboard?
Maybe try installing SwiftKey see if that helps. (it's always the first thing I do as I am not a fan of the Samsung keyboard.
What pin code, for sim or phone? If for phone after reboot I need to swipe down for the keyboard to appear. Hold volume down and power button simultaneously to restart.
Hi everyone,
A few months ago, I changed the ROM of my Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 to Arrow OS.
Yesterday, I saw that WiFi seems bugged, I can't turn it on/off. This issue still being present today, I decided to restart my phone, hoping that it would solve it.
I then held start button to open restart options, and chose "System restart".
Since then, my screen is stuck on the "System restarting..." screen.
The phone still respond to physical buttons, but I can't try anything else as the touchscreen isn't responding, being blocked by this loading.
I tried to hold start button for +30 sec to force restart the phone, but it didn't work.
My last hope is to wait for the battery to run out, but I charged it all night, so I'll have to be patient ...
Do you have any other idea that might work ?
EDIT : I posted on the wrong forum, I intended to post on the Q&A one ... Is this possible to move my post, or do I have to repost it on the right forum ? (thanks Oswald)
OK my bad, I was trying to force reboot using the wrong buttons.
I forgot that on Samsung, we must use Vol. Down, Start and Home buttons.
