Default My new Tab suddenly started downloading...
I plundered getting my SIM card inserted and suddenly I got a black screen with a picture of a working man telling me "Downloading, do not turn off target!!"
It has been like this for awhile now, couple of hours; is this normal? Or is something very wrong?

Regards,

BTJ

Seems you´ve entered flashmode.. I would tell you to remove your battery but that is not an option with the Tab??

Long press the power button until the device starts to reboot.

Nothing to worry about. This is android "download mode" for flashing firmwares/repair etc. Nothing is actually "downloading" unless you're flashing a firmware or something with odin, so It will be safe to use.
