How To Boot Your Android Device or Tab Into Safe Mode For Troubleshooting


There are times you
install some
applications
on your android device
and suddenly it begins
to malfunction or
refuse to boot up.
Safe
mode is a great tool
that you can use to
troubleshoot these
issues. Safe mode
boots your phone
running only the apps
that came with the
phone – that means
no



third-party apps. From
safe mode, you can
uninstall any app you
want to.
Unfortunately, not all
phones have the same
method to enter safe
mode. Most Jelly Bean
devices use the first
method below, but
some devices with
older
versions of Android
and
some newer devices
(like the Galaxy S 4 and
HTC One) use the
alternate method
further down the
page.

How Can I Boot My Phone To Safe
Mode?


Below Are Steps To Activate It VIZ::

1. Hold down the
physical power button
on your device.

2. Long-press the
“Power off” option
that
appears

3. A dialog box asking
you if you want to
reboot to safe mode
may pop up. Tap OK

4. When the phone
reboots, you should
see
a “Safe Mode”
watermark at the
bottom left of the
screen, to let you
know
that you are in fact in
safe mode.

Alternate Method
(some older versions
of Android and some
Jelly Bean phones)::

1. Turn off your phone.

2. Once your phone is
off, turn it on by
pressing the power
button.

3. As your phone is
booting, hold down
both
the volume up and
volume down buttons
(yes, both) and keep
them held.

4. Once your phone has
booted, you should
see
a “Safe Mode”
watermark at the
botom left of the
screen, to let you
know
that you are in fact in
safe mode.

Note:
If the alternate
method also doesn’t
work, you can try
holding down menu
instead of volume up
and down while
booting.

Please always
remember that any
app
you download can
easily
be uninstall from safe
mode most especially
if
the app freezes, or
refuse to boot up your
android device.

To exit safe mode,
you
just restart your
device
as you normally would.
