Re: t got this tablet at christmas and it keeps shutting off how do i fix it
Welcome to Android Central! What's the brand and model? Chances are that it's a budget off-brand device, which is much more prone to faulty firmware or hardware. If you're able to boot up successfully, try getting into Safe Mode,[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)] [/COLOR]which temporarily disables all 3rd party apps. On most Android devices, while powered on, press and hold Power until the Power Off menu appears. Press and hold the Power Off selection until the Safe Mode prompt appears. Tap OK.
If the problem disappears in Safe Mode, then something you installed is causing the problem. You may have to uninstall apps one by one until the problem disappears. If the problem persists in Safe Mode, then it's more likely to be a hardware or firmware problem.
