    Can't boot tablet to recovery mode in order to reset.

    I was afraid of that. I'm feeling less and less like I have any leg to stand on regarding ebay and discussions I've had on their community pages. I'm going to try sending the tablet to Samsung with my receipt, they act like they can help. I realize ebay is heavy on the buyer side, but I guess...

    Can't boot tablet to recovery mode in order to reset.

    Grasping at straws here, but I assume if I asked the buyer to go into his google account and remove the device from his approved account devices it wouldn't help?

    Can't boot tablet to recovery mode in order to reset.

    I've been chatting ebay from the beginning of this guy saying he wanted a refund as I suspected his problem was a user error and not a tablet error. It seems there may be some quirkiness re recovery mode as I had to do some research to figure out how to get there when normal path didn't work...

    Can't boot tablet to recovery mode in order to reset.

    Right - the tablet was locked, the buyer said his password no longer worked to log in to tablet. I've since found a video showing connecting USB-C headphones to the tablet when unable to boot to recovery. I didn't have headphones, but used USB-C cable to connect to computer, which somehow...

    Purchased the Samsung S7 tablet with my new phone, decided to sell, unopened, in order to offset phone cost. A week after receiving, buyer contacted me saying tablet was acting funny, wouldn't take his password, would shut down sometimes, and he couldn't factory reset. Of course, I had to...

    S21+, Ultra - Battery, heat, screen?

    I appreciate everyone's replies - I knew heat has been an issue for some time but it's interesting to me how quickly the phone just gives up when it's in the sun, even when in a cool environment. I'm sure you're right Johnson21X, it has to have taken a toll on my battery. Luckily, with working...

    Why are most android phone camera terrible for every day photos?

    I'm also interested in getting better photos - to be honest, that's probably the bulk of what my camera is used for other than keeping up with what's going on in the world. Like many, no longer have a dedicated camera, so this is where all memories go to be preserved. I'd love to know if there...

    S21+, Ultra - Battery, heat, screen?

    I've got a Note 8 that has been giving me trouble, and we're beyond our usual time between upgrades. At this point, I can't even use my phone in the sun (even winter sun), in minutes, it overheats and shuts down - no warnings, nothing on reboot (other than the occasional "Moisture detected..."...
