How to Get Your Android Phone Out of Safe Mode

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.

  1. Turn the phone off.
  2. Turn it back on and hold the “up” volume button.

Pretty easy, but it seemed to work for her.

Hope this helps!

    I couldn’t wait to try this, but it didn’t work. But I think I know what caused it … for the first time ever, after changing my battery, I put the fancy cover back on my Galaxy Siii … upside down! And all of a sudden, for the first time ever, I’m in Safe Mode. Pretty coincidental. Does that help at all?

    Thanks, this set my Razr right back up! I will add this: When I woke up after reading a Kindle book I was mysteriously on Airplane Mode. When I cut it off, that’s when the Safe Mode appeared on the screen.
