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!

    Thanks much. I do know that my phone went into “safe mode” one morning when I had set my alarm clock. I couldn’t get the alarm to shut up, so I powered down. The phone powered itself back up and went into safe mode. This may be happening to others that just are not awake enough to operate their phone, like me!

    I removed the battery from my phone.
    Left it off for about 10 minutes and put back in.
    Turned the phone on and the safe mode was GONE!

    Its discouraging when I read all the positive comments on how powering off and volume up to take safe mode off and it doesn’t work. .. I most likely am doing wrong so I am going to try to take the battery out and see if that works. … hopefully it does!
