Question

I've tried everything in order to get rid of safe mode but it didn't work, can you help me?

Community Answer

Mine kept coming up in safe mode until I took it out of the Otter Box case. Apparently the case was pushing the volume button and causing it to enter safe mode. You never know!

Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.

Question

My phone's battery is going down rapidly, and my phone switches off and on automatically. What could this be?

Community Answer

Your battery is probably inflated, leaked or damaged. Remove the cover and check to see your battery for any visible defects. You'll probably need a replacement.

Question

What happens when a phone is in safe mode?

Community Answer

When your restart to safe mode, third-party apps you installed are not available (only system apps are available in safe mode) until you restart to regular mode. You can still receive all calls and messages. You will see the words "Safe Mode" at the bottom-left corner of the screen.

Question

How can I get my Samsung tablet out of safe mode if even restarting and factory data reset did not work?

Community Answer

Some Samsung devices provide the option to get out of safe mode pretty easily. Just click on the turn off button once. Then you see "remove safe mode" or something similar. (Do not actually turn off your device).
