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 have a Samsung Note II phone and that suggestion did not work for me. In fact i read elsewhere that those steps “holding down the volume button” is how you GET IT IN to Safe Mode.

    Steps that DID WORK for my phone was:
    1. Take off shell, pull out battery
    2. disconnect SIM card & extra storage card
    3. WAIT ONE ENTIRE MINUTE
    4. Put battery back in and reconnect SIM & storage card
    5. Turn back on device like normal (no holding down any buttins) just push Power On.
    It booted back up into Normal Mode.

    An alternative to those steps would be to PLUG IN the phone while the batterry is out for one minute.

  26. Didnt work for me tryed 100000 times
    :'(
