Recently, more and more different smartphones and tablets based on the Android operating system have been arriving at the shelves of technology stores. The equipment on this OS is appreciated mainly for its wide functionality, convenience and affordable prices for it, as well as for the fact that called "open source" to create and modify programs for such an OS can virtually anyone who has sufficient skills in programming.
The last "plus", however, has its negative consequences, because due to editing the system or software often in the OS start to appear bugs and errors that interfere with the full work. In order to somewhat protect your "OS" from the abundance of low-quality software and virus attacks, developers introduce the safe mode function on modern manufactured devices Android So how to exit safe mode?

In fact, safe mode on a tablet is a system similar to that in Windows computers. The main function of such a system is device diagnostics. Using safe mode allows you to:
- Disable all third-party applications
- Deactivate unnecessary drivers for the system, utilities
- Identify system errors
- Assess how much the system’s performance improves in a mode that does not imply “burdening” of the OS with widgets and additional software.
Important! In this mode, it is impossible to connect the device to the Internet.
As it becomes clear, such a function does not allow to use the device to the full, and it is especially inconvenient when the user, once again launching his favorite gadget, is faced with automatic loading of the OS in a safe mode.
How to enable or disable safe mode?
For most users, in order to turn off the BR, you just need to turn off the device, and then turn it on again, and, waiting for it to load the OS, again enjoy any functions of the gadget. However, not always a simple reboot helps to solve the problem, and even after it the device can start up again in the same mode. What to do if safe mode is back on?
After the first unsuccessful reboot, many people try to turn off the device again, remove the battery from it, wait a while and start the tablet again. Sometimes this really helps, however, not all devices have a simple back cover design that provides for easy removal. In this case, the following method may help:
- Turn off the device
- Turn it on, holding the "home" button until the full launch
If this does not help, you can try restarting the device in Recovery mode. This mode is present on most models with stock firmware from official manufacturers. If we again draw an analogy with a PC, this mode is something akin to the BIOS.
Important! Even if this function is not in the device, it can be launched using special utilities that are freely available on the global network space, or from the OS itself.
In order to start Recovery, you must hold the power and volume down keys when turning on the tablet. On some models, the volume up button may also work, also clamped along with the power key. If these methods did not help, you need to refer to the official instructions from the manufacturer, and look for information about the launch there.
If everything went smoothly, then the user will see the console on which you will need to select the “Reboot system” item. In order to navigate through the console, usually use the volume keys. If the user is interested in resetting the device to the basic settings, select the line “Wipe data / Factory Reset. In this case, you will have to wait until the device finishes work on formatting files and starts in normal mode.
Important! The last action should be carried out only if all other methods have not helped, since it involves a complete cleaning of the device’s memory and returning it to the standard settings.
If all of the above methods did not have any effect, and the data in the device’s memory is important for the user, then this problem it’s better to contact a service center, whose specialists will be able to return the tablet’s fully operational state.
Why does safe mode turn on itself?
Many users may have a legitimate question about why, in general, such a mode can start on the device on their own, without confirmation from the user. In fact, the launch of a BR can be caused by several reasons, among which experts single out:
- Third-party applications downloaded from unverified sources
- Malicious links or programs that integrate into the OS
- "Experiments" with system files
From the list below it becomes quite easy to understand that in order to avoid such problems, it will be enough for the user to use only proven applications downloaded from official sources, do not click on suspicious links and do not get into the software "stuff" without the appropriate skills devices. However, it is not always so simple to fulfill these requirements, and even the most tested applications can sometimes fail, causing problems with the OS.
Is there a safe mode on the iPad?
Despite the fact that iOS, according to popular belief, is more protected from software problems, it’s worth note that the developers of equipment based on this operating system also did not neglect the function "Safe Mode". In the case of the constant forced inclusion of safe mode on Apple tablets, the user was asked to reflash the device using special iTunes software.
Recently, however, "craftsmen" have written many programs that allow you to turn off the BR, simultaneously removing all the problematic programs that caused it to start. Performing such operations without appropriate programming skills is highly discouraged, so when problems with BR on Apple tablets it is better to use the warranty repair service, or turn to paid to specialists.
As mentioned above, safe mode is not only an unpleasant “malfunction” but also a great option in order to find out how third-party applications affect the operation of the gadget. For example, if the tablet starts to discharge quickly, slow down during operation or during its operation, a large the number of bugs, then by launching safe mode, you can understand what the reason for this or that lies malfunctions.
For example, if with the BR turned on, the tablet computer works without recharging many times longer than When starting and running third-party applications, it is the latter that cause a fast discharge batteries.
Important! In the BR, you can also delete applications that cannot be uninstalled in normal mode. This is possible because when working in the BR, these applications are disabled.
If, when starting the BR, the problems in the device’s operation remain the same, then you can try to clear the cache memory, as well as data of the most “problematic” applications according to the user, or disable these applications manually.
