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!
Thanks a lot, I stumbled on the same issue but your post helped me out
IT WORKED!! Who woulda thought?? I couldn’t believe it, when, suddenly, “Safe Mode” appeared on my phone. I went through all settings & everything else I could think of. Nothing. Then, I thought to Google. SHAZAM!!! Yours was the first site listed. It just seemed to appear more legit than the others AND had THE question. SO…I Clicked On IT. Am I Glad I Did!! Thank you sooooo much!!!

I was panicking when I saw the “Safe Mode” label so naturally, I turned to Google. This was the first result after searching “safe mode Android.” Thanks so much for the simple, plain English fix. It worked perfectly, no problems at all!! Cheers!

This worked for me. No idea how it got in safe mode other than I had put on a new case. Must have pushed something. But glad the mystery is solved. Ashley, you have to hold it continuously as the phone is coming on, I believe. At least that is what I did. :)

This worked for me but before it turned on, the android dude appeared with a red triangle with an exclamation point. I don’t know what this means but I’m assuming the system found a problem and spent 10 minutes fixing it. Thanks for the help!
Thank you very much couldn’t figure on how to get it off. I knew there was something wrong because my phone wouldn’t do anything but vibrate when I got a text.
thanks. I think it has something to do with your battery being critically low. idk
Thank you very much!!!!
