One of my friends suddenly found that her phone had put itself in “safe mode”. She had no idea how she had done it and no idea how to get it out of that mode. After looking around on the internet, I found a solution that worked for her.
- Turn the phone off.
- Turn it back on and hold the “up” volume button.
Pretty easy, but it seemed to work for her.
Hope this helps!

Hello there. and my Story is similar to Rachels,, bt instead mine fell in dishwater and so far everything works just fine,bt its stuck in safe mode, and my up volume button wont work. so everytime I press a button my phone goes into vibrate mode asif my button is stuck.. i took the the volume keep button off n replaced it,, bt nothing.. I was reading and was hoping your solution would work for my problem too. so is there a certain way i have to do it.. like do i have to wait for the homescreen? or DO I hold it as soon as it comes on, and for how long??
THANK YOU VERY MUCH …. VERY GOOD ADVICE

Dropped phone in the toilet, phone went blinkers lost all my apps etc, safe mode stuck. Wicked advice. Worked like a charm have my life and apps back.
My phone was in safe mode then i tried roobooted it and it gets stuck on the start up screen. Help!!
Dropped my phone in the toilet this morning (don’t text and pee!) and found my phone in safe mode…This brought it out again! Just make sure you’re holding both buttons and release only the power button once the phone lights up, but hold down the volume one! Thanks again!
How do I get out of safe Mode!?
Tried the shut down and hold the volume up button when turned back on and totally worked…..thanks for the great advice

Ok so this is how you get out of safe mode and back to factory reset and back to normal. take out battery then connect to charger then put in the battery and hold power and volume up button then reset and wipe data. and i have a problem with my android i droped it and i have black lines going down my screen. how do i fix it?
All my apps were acting weird, kept going to wanting me to create a home screen. Did a battery pull and then turned phone back on….safe mode was in the bottom corner. Googled safe mode and found a link to safe mode for android. Read what to do….it worked…thank you
my android is irobot 2.3 gingerbread now its unlocked and asking me my google account and its telling always invalid username and password. how can i turned on my WiFi so i can access and enter my username and password google account?
YESSSSSSSSSSSS! It worked, THANK YOU! Hey, let’s do lunch. = )
Fix worked perfectly. What is “safe mode” and what purpose does it serve? I first used a computer less than 2 years ago and have had a droid phone for about 5 weeks…your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Worked for me on my Sony Xperia Ray – many, many thanks…! My installed apps had all gone to the last few menu pages and the phone had forgotten the “Own Order” setting, but it was a quick enough job to get them back where I wanted them.
Thanks, worked perefectly.
Worked for me thx much!
Thank you ! it really does work !!

Yes!!!!thanks pretty much the same as above comments .Thanks

It really worked on my LG! Thanks!
that was awesome…and who knew!? gotta wonder what kinda programming in this phone created the ability to randomly put the phone in safe mode (which then disables syncing and all internet connections until resumed) but then putting volume button fixes it?
I didn’t drop my phone in anything but all of a sudden Safe Mode came up. I did the turn of/on hold volume button and wala it worked. thanks.
