Can someone help me. I was playing final fantasy III for 4 hours today and when I closed the game I turned the brightness back down to minimum and hit multitasking. It froze in the multitasking screen with nothing running and the multitasking button stuck lite up like i just clicked it. I tried power but all it did is vibrate my tablet. Tried plugging it in but that didn't it get passed the glitch nore does it say charging. Screen won't turn off either.

Have you tried a hard-reboot by holding Pwr & Volume Up?

**Tyler Lietz** · 01-06-2013, 10:51 PM

doesn't that unlock the bootloader?

Nope, it just forces a reboot which can be useful when frozen & your device has a non-removable battery.

Thanks mister. You get a High Five

So did that solve the problem you were having - un-freezing your N10?

yeah. Idk what it was. just did something while the tablet was doing something at the same time and tablet forgot how to be a tablet.

As long as it's unfrozen, cool.

There's a problem with the latest update that causes periodic freezing. Disabling location services can help stop it until Google releases a fix.

Nah most of those people get reboots not complete total unresponsiveness until their battery runs out. Mine problem was just a hickup. Those people just skipped a step to fix the random reboot problem. If you update to 4.2.1 and then factory resetted you'd never get a random reboot again. This is my second Nexus 10 and everyone I know that has done this step has never gotten a reboot or freeze. You'll even see some people on here suggesting it but it's usually ignored for a shortcut that disables gps

Another freeze doing something else. -_- i have a feeling its cause of FF3 cause it makes my tablet screen flash like crazy when i launch that game and it only happens when i played that game sometime that day.
