I bought this Samsung Tablet Tab 4 8GB SM-T230NU from a 3rd party. Not a big deal. I got it home and tried to connect to the wifi network. It would connect but the browser, Google play store , internet features were not working. So I turned it off and back on. It freezes at the Samsung Tab 4 logo screen. I have to hard reset into a program called titanium, I'm lost at this point.
Suggestions? What can I do ? Samsung tried , they said I could send it in but the warranty expired 2004, so I'd be paying in. SSG said something about Best Buy?

This is more of an informative post for anyone who finds themselves in a situations similar to what I was in. This weekend I purchased the Verizon 3G Galaxy Tablet. When I purchased it I opted NOT to pay for a data plan for the device as I was planning on just tethering it to my cell phone when wifi was not available.
The problem with this is on first boot the device attempts to register and activate itself but ONLY via 3G service. If you do not have a 3G data plan it simply fails and will never let you get past the register screen. The next day I took it back to the store where I purchased it from very pissed off and was show a trick to get around the registration screen in the event that I ever factory reset my device.
If you find yourself in a similar situation here are the steps necessary to get past the screen.
1. Attempt the register the device via 3G and let it fail.
2. While viewing the failed registration message hit the following button sequence:
Volume Up Once
Volume Down Twice
Volume Up Three Times
Volume Down Four Times
After that it will take you to the finish screen with out registering your device and finally let you log into the system. From there you can configure a wifi network and rerun the setup wizard to register your device if you want to.

I own a Sprint version and this doesnt work on it

Interesting. I purchased my Verizon version of the tab on launch day and they would not sell it to me unless I purchased at least the first month of data service so that they could activate it. Big fight in the store over this.
Wplangan,
Yeah I had the same argument at the Verizon store I went to. The agreement ended with me telling them to go screw themselves and then walking across the street to BestBuy and getting the exact same tablet from there with no questions or data plan requirements. Only problem I had was the activation (since I did not want to purchase 3G service). Once I figured out how to bypass that so I could setup a WIFI network and then register the device, everything has worked great.

I have just recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I love this phone and didn't have any problems until now. My phone will not connect to any WiFi and it will either say "Saved and Secured" or "Disabled." Either way, it won't connect. I've looked on some different websites and some suggested to reboot my phone. But, I don't know if they are a safe website so I didn't do that. Please help me.
No harm in rebooting, give it a shot.
HELLO all!
Hello, earlier today i rooted my phone for the first time ever, ive never rooted any android phones myself before. so i followed one of a youtube videos using an Odin app, and taking "CF-AUTO-ROOT-HLTE-HLTEXX-SMN9005.tar.md5" as the pda.
as far as i remember, i went to the download setting(volume down, home and power; then volume up) on my phone and connected it to my laptop, then press start on odin. THATS ALL I DID. my phone eventually has been rooted. and guess what.. none of my apps, none of my browser connects to the internet, i am connected to the wifi, and i dont have any sim cards, i just use my note 3 as something like an ipod lol. the strange thing is, i can chat with my friends through whatsapp still, and no other apps can connect to internet, not even viber or any other chat apps. only whatsapp messaging. youtube app, playstore, stock browser, google chrome, nothing can connect to the internet!
can anyone help me to fix this problem? my phone is the unlocked one, bought in malaysia having 4.4.2 kitkat. its the note 3 LTE international version, the one with snapdragon 800.
thanks, Adilfadjri

Hello.
I'm using the Note 3 model name SM-N900. The Russia Rom N900XXUEBOA6 is running on my phone. It is stock rom from Sammobile.
The problem is that my phone does not have any phone screen sharing app. Some said it is basically installed in the rom, but mine does not have it.
So some other people said me to install at the Galaxy app store (which is same as Samsung apps), BUT THERE WAS NO PHONE SCREEN SHARING APP.
For this reason I guess, I cannot run Sidesync with my laptop. My laptop is the brand new ATIV BOOK 9. There must not be any problem on it.
Could you guys give me any suggestions to resolve this problem? By the way, I live in NY, USA.
Thank you.
@ysuk9127 you don't need any app for this. You have this option of screen mirroring in notification toggles just turn it on and it will show you compitable devices on the same wifi network if you have connected.
Hi All,
sorry this is a long first post, for a new user...
Fairly sure I was a member in the past but lost my logins..
History !!.. our 4 year old Philips 50PUT6400/12 Tv has been pretty good since we bought it. recently had issues with HMDI not working, even tho' the Tv sees things plugged in.
Did a reset .. did not help ,
So did a reinstall from the menu. thats when it all went wrong. TV restarted but hung up on the Android Logo, multiple power cycles .. no help.
On to Philips Tech Support who were pretty unhelpful as its out of warranty. They sent links to the latest firmware Upgrade ( 2018) and thats all they wanted to do.
Managed to find how to get to the Recovery Menu ( philips never mentioned this ) and used the file from the USB . no improvement but went furthter into starting apps screen, and hung there.
Started thinking about spending cash on a new tv.
Tried all the things found on the net ... until I found the Wipedata for our TV file on here.. used it , and it came back saying it hadn't done anything ?
then after couple more days of faffing about I downloaded the philips file again and installed it from the recovery menu, and .. it worked so cash saved and hassle from family gone .
But now to the current issue ... We have A Disney+ account , but cannot get the App, well any apps not on the Philips App page, as we cannot login the google account.
It seems from info that its because the playstore app in the TV is too old .. and it cannot be updated cos we cannot login.. catch 22..
I'm now a developer in the system and unknown sources is on, but cannot download anything, and playstore on the web says we have no devices?
Any suggestions on how to force any app or update on to this TV, the browser is crap,
cheers
C
Acutally managed to sort this out .. i ended up setting the 2 stage security up on the tv's gmail account using my PC , and it allowed me to use my mobile to access the account login. panic over .
Pls. How can I use 2 stage security setup on my tv’s gmail account using my laptop
