Help...Tab 4 caught in a boot loop

[Sooner or later]

Can't get it to stop.

Any suggestions? I can get to the screen that shows up after Andy. But it just stays there for a second or two and then boots again.

I had the same issue with my Tab 4 when I set the screen brightness to max. I resolved this by restarting in safe mode and changing the screen settings.

Safe Mode

1. Turn the device off.
2. Press and hold the Power key.
3. When Samsung appears on the screen, release the Power key.
4. Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
5. Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
6 Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode on the device.
7. Uninstall apps that are causing a problem.

Thanks, but it won't turn off by any method.

From your thread title...I thought you were writing about Tabs!

Maybe a stupid question....are you holding the power button off for at least 6-7 seconds?

Tried everything. I can hold all buttons down and it goes to safe screen for about 2 seconds and then reboots. I have tried everything that I found on a search. Nuttin works. I have a buddy that sidelines on repair looking at it now

If I actually had Tabs in a boot loop I would seek mental help...
