My Galaxy Tab P1000 just hung up, at a point where the power button is not responding. Is there a way to force the devise to shutdown immediately?

There is no "force shutdown" as far as I know, but you can force a reboot by holding down the power button for about 15 seconds.

Confirmed that this also works for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. – louielouie Apr 29 '12 at 7:23

No force shutdown for galaxy tab, but you can use this trick.

  1. Plug the charger into your galaxy tab.
  2. Hold down power button for 10 seconds, and wait to reboot.
  3. After that, the screen will be change with charging battery.
  4. Plug off your tab, and it will be shutdown.
