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 would just like to say thank you so much!!!
    I didn’t have any clue this was even on my phone I have the samsung galaxy 3 I now know how this happend when turning my phone on I didn’t want to wake my husband up when I turn my phone on it rings a lot lol… so I tried to turn the volume down when I turned the phone on. And it put it in safe mode and thankfully you had this post on here to help me turn it off. Its cool to know about it so that my 5 year old can’t mess my phone up in the morning or delete any thing. Thank u so very much!!!!
