All operating systems, when time goes by, they stop working like the first day. The main reason is due to the applications we install, applications that make changes to the operating system registry. The more applications we install, the more modifications are made and in the long run, the integrity of the operating system suffers.
If our Android smartphone has begun to show operating problems overnight, before restoring the device (the best solution in all cases) we can make use of safe mode, a mode that, like Windows, loads only system apps and those that are factory installed.
It is as if we restore the terminal without doing it. When accessing this mode, none of the applications that we have in our terminal are loaded, applications that we cannot run since they are not shown in the application drawer and their direct access on the desktop, if you have one, will be found in gray.
By not loading any of the applications that are not included natively in the system, we can quickly check if the operating problem that our terminal shows This is the reason for some of the applications that we have recently installed. If so, we just have to uninstall them so that our smartphone works normally again.
The procedure to access safe mode on Android it is practically the same on all Android smartphones, although in some manufacturers like Huawei it is different. Here are the steps to follow to access safe mode on Android.
- First, we must press and hold the on / off button of our terminal until the contextual menu appears that allows us to shut down, restart, take a screenshot ...
- Without releasing the button, we must press and hold the Restart option.
- A second later, the message will appear: Reboot in safe mode.
When restarting in safe mode, we will see how in the lower left corner of the screen, the text is displayed Safe Mode, the application drawer will show us only the pre-installed applications and the icons of the applications that we have on the desktop, they will be shown in gray, without the possibility of executing them.
To get out of this mode, we just have to restart our terminal, pressing the on / off button until the option to Shut down, restart, take a screenshot ... is displayed.
