Galaxy Tab S 10.5 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Galaxy Tab S 10.5. I had to do a factory reset on my tablet and I didn't realize I had activation lock set. When I get back into set up I entered wifi and then it goes to the Samsung screen stating abnormal factory reset It only let's me sign in with no way to skip. I have an s21 ultra so I'm well aware of my credentials. Whenever I enter them it says processing failed. I can't enter the tablet so please don't tell me to turn off activation lock. Samsung wants $103 to repair stating it was software related. I will just buy a new 1 for that. I've read numerous posts and youtube but they seem to deal with phones. One of the tricks is using the phone dialer but that's not an option. This isn't a great tablet but it's in pristine condition and I could use it for my workouts. You guys are the best so hopefully someone can help. Tnx in advance.

Sorry for bad quality used Lumia 520 to take a picture of it
I tried other ways of fixing it like downloading Pixel Fixer and similar stuff nothing helped.
is there any other weird way of fixing this myself? I seen somewhere that leaving it on the cold ice for 24 hours can fix it but that looks non sense for me. If anyone have tried it and it worked please let me know.
Anyway is there any other untraditional of fixing this without taking it to local repair shop.
Would Factory Reset help?
Anyone? I really need help with this.

EDIT:
Right after I opened this topic, I removed notification from watch and it was connected again with phone. Strage...
I have also gotten that and have also reset and rebooted the watch. Also have a S6 (edge+). For other reasons, got a replacement watch yesterday and it's already done it. Rebooting the watch seems to fix things but I also wonder what's the root problem.

Hi SallyC, did you ordered your watch directly from Motorola, or some other online seller?

Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S Pen [stock] hangs when checking storage

Hi all, long time lurker here.
I just got a 2016 Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S Pen a week ago. Since I bought it on day 1, it has given me a really weird issue.
When I check the Settings>>Storage, the phone just hangs. It's kind of stressful, because I am trying to install a microSD card, and I don't have access to the settings for it.
I've spoken to Samsung customer service representatives, and they want me to send it in, because they think it's a hardware issue. However, I don't think that's possible, because it works fine in every other regard.
If anybody could give me some tips, I would really appreciate it. I've tried factory resetting several times, and it hasn't helped.

Unlocking a "This device is locked" phone

So I just saw a cracked screen phone with the device associated to existing Mi account.
It is on sale for around 60 usd.

}
Say how hard would it be to unlock it? The touch and everything else is still function.
Upon google search it is said that "locked" device are most likely a stolen device but I'm still interested lol.
U can install twrp n used any custom ROM
Like pixelrom preferred or any other and enjoy the beast performance ?
Its happen to me but on redmi 4 prime , i force to unlock but all sensor dead and the phone very slow
Never mind I found another one which is not locked but still cracked screen for the same price
Feel free to lock/close this thread.
