Android OS has found millions of fans around the world. Its success is not surprising, because all rights belong to the global giant Google. Users choose it for its convenience, user-friendly interface and democracy. Indeed, almost all elements are subject to change, right up to editing system files. However, such modifications do not end with anything good if the device is in inept hands. In addition, if you thoughtlessly download various content, for example, applications from unknown sources, this can harm even the highest quality version of the shell. And the "robot" itself, like no other OS, is prone to virus attacks and the occurrence of errors during operation. To solve such problems, the developers provided the platform with the ability to enter safe mode. We will talk about what it is, how to use it, and how to remove safe mode on a tablet and smartphone, in this article.
Why do I need a BR and how to enter it?
In order to get into safe mode, you need to press the lock button as you would to turn off the gadget. The item “Turn off” needs to be tapped and held until a request for transition to the BR appears. Select "OK" and wait for your device to reboot and turn on already in the BR. A separate topic for conversation is the safe mode on the tablet, how to disable it, we will tell a little later. In the meantime, I would like to say a few words about common features.
BR is a mode designed to diagnose a device. If you know what the Windows safe mode is and you have had to deal with it, then you should not have problems using it on your tablet. In this state, all third-party applications, drivers, utilities and components are disabled in order to easily test the system and identify existing errors. In this position, you can see how “bare” Android can work “smartly” until third-party programs, various widgets and other similar components burden it. It is important to note that the Internet connection is also disconnected in the BR.
How to turn off safe mode?
Safe mode does not need any special shutdown. As a rule, just restarting the device is enough, and it will start as usual. But sometimes it happens that even after a reboot the gadget still returns to safe mode, quite often tablet owners complain about it. What to do in this case?
Safe mode on the tablet: how to disable?
If after you rebooted the system, the device did not return to its previous state - just try to turn it off, wait a while and turn it on again. In some cases, you also need to get the battery. But how to remove safe mode on the tablet? After all, far from all such devices, the back cover is removed. Of course, you can return the gadget to a state with the functioning of all components, and even there are several ways.
How to return the tablet to normal mode
To do this, you must restart the system. When you turn on the tablet again, you must click on the "Home" button. You should not release it until the gadget is fully turned on.
The variety of tablet models manufactured under the control of the Android OS is really great. Some of them do not even have a built-in reboot function. Then you need to completely turn off the gadget. And right after launch, hold down the button we already know.
Reboot the tablet using recovery mode
The "recovery" mode is a special console with which you can reset settings or load the operating system. If you bought a tablet in a certified store and with stock firmware, this console should be present on your device. It is a bit like the BIOS, if you draw an analogy with a computer. If for some reason this console did not appear, it can be downloaded directly from the OS itself using small utilities. So, safe mode on the tablet: how to disable it in the recovery console?
For each model of the device (it doesn’t matter whether it is a tablet or a smartphone) there is a way to get into the "recovery" mode. Initially, you need to turn off the gadget. Then try holding down the power button and volume down button (you can try increasing the volume). This is the most common way to log into the console. If not, you should read the instructions on how to enter the “recovery” from your tablet.
In the console, you will see the item R eboot system - this is a reboot. You can get to it using the volume keys, and make a choice with the power button. The Wipe data / Factory Reset item resets to the factory settings. This should be done only as a last resort, if all the previous methods did not help you return the tablet to normal operation. All user settings will be deleted, but the information on the memory card will remain.
We told you about safe mode on your tablet. You now know how to disable it, and therefore do not be afraid to use this method to diagnose the system and troubleshoot.
