Safe mode boots your phone running only the apps that came with the phone – that means no third-party apps. Therefore, if your phone runs without an issue when you’re in safe mode, it’s a pretty good bet that the problem isn’t system related, and instead a third party app you downloaded.

Steps to boot Android into Safe Mode


Follow the steps below to boot an Android device into Safe Mode


Method 1 (most Jelly Bean devices)


  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.
  5. Note: If the box doesn't appear, go on to the alternate method.

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.

In safe mode, while you can’t use third party apps, you can uninstall them. So if your phone is giving you problems as bad as freezing and not letting you uninstall apps, you can uninstall the problem app/apps in safe mode. In addition, if you need to, you can backup your data or factory reset your device in safe mode .

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

on that screenshot, simply press and hold the red power off labelled button on your screen
it should give a prompt asking if you want to reboot to safe mode
