Re: Chinese characters on android pad won't turn on or off

Welcome to Android Central! Which tablet? Are you on a homescreen, or is it mostly a black screen with some Chinese characters in a list at the upper left? If the latter, you're probably in Recovery Mode, and the tablet is presumably a direct-from-China no-name or off-brand device.
