Unfortunately, the perfect mobile does not exist, and the problems may appear, whether we have spent 100 or 1000 euros on our brand new terminal. Luckily, Android has enough tools to try to solve any problem before running to the Technical Service. One of those tools is Safe Mode, which we can activate on any Android mobile and that will get us out of more trouble.
Many of Android’s functions are inherited from personal computers. It is not lost on anyone that the classic Windows Safe Mode has fixed many problems, whether caused by viruses or a configuration failure that has destabilized the system. In any case, Android phones have been replicating that safe mode for years, like lifeguards when something goes wrong.
What is Safe Mode for?
In practically all cases, they are downloaded third-party applications that can cause operational errors in our terminal. These problems are usually unexpected restarts or crashes, crashes, or erratic operation of any kind or slowness throughout the system. When this occurs, Safe Mode can help us detect the culprit.
Charge cleanly
Safe Mode allows you to load the operating system completely clean. This means that no third-party application will be started at startup. By doing so, we will have leeway to detect which software is causing the problems. The method consists of uninstalling the recently installed applications and turning the terminal back on in normal mode to see if the problem disappears.
Detect the problem
Ideally, uninstall each application one by one and restart the terminal in Safe Mode in case the problem persists . It is a task that can be tedious on many occasions, but certainly effective. Google itself recommends making a list of the applications whose arrest we have forced, to identify which are causing the problems.
How to enter Safe Mode
In order to enter Safe Mode, we will have to press the power button on our mobile. Then we will press and hold the off button. When the “Off” button appears pressed, we will press OK so that the terminal restarts in Safe Mode. When turned on, the message “Safe Mode” will appear in a corner of the terminal screen , which may vary depending on the brand or model.
Getting out is even easier
To exit safe mode, we will only have to restart the phone in the usual way. When turning on the terminal, it is possible that our entire desktop has been misplaced and the shortcuts to the applications have been removed. To avoid this, it is recommended to take a previous screenshot, to rearrange everything as it was once the problem occurred.
