How to disable safe mode on Honor and Huawei phones Tarifkin.ru

What is Safe Mode on Huawei and Honor

When a user purchases a “fresh” device, he can literally say that its work is excellent. There are no failures that can cause the entire system to fail. The programs, as well as installed utilities, do not cause any inaccuracies and do not affect the active operation of the device.

If the user has a sufficient amount of time on the phone, then it is logical that some problems may occur in the operation of the operating system. Because of such problems, some programs stop responding altogether, do not work promptly, and crash.

Safe mode is aimed at eliminating such problems and provides assistance to the user. If this built-in mode is used correctly, a person can avoid further trips to the service center for diagnostics.

"delete account"

Account blocking is also a common reason for a smartphone to go into safe mode. If several profiles are attached to the phone, and it is not possible to find out what exactly is the reason for the device switching to safe mode, you will have to delete them one by one until the functionality of the smartphone is restored.

To delete profiles, the user needs to go to the smartphone settings. Next, you need to select the accounts menu and disable automatic recovery on each of the active profiles. In the additional accounts section, accounts that create problems are directly deleted.

After the removal procedure is completed, you must reboot the device.

In order to continue using all the features of your smartphone, you need to create a new account. Remember that using other people's accounts is prohibited; this may lead to repeated blocking.

What is Safe Mode for and what can you do in it?

As mentioned earlier, the main goal of this mode is to prevent various system failures and malfunctions that arise while using Honor or Huawei. Encountering various difficulties in the operation of the operating system and application becomes a truly minor event, because there is a special mode aimed at eliminating this incident.

A special function represents loading a “clean” operating system. If the user wants to avoid going to the repair shop after a year of use, then he must use this mode on the phone. Also, when using the mode, the following tasks can be distinguished:

It automatically checks all functions on the phone. If the camera does not work, the speaker has failed, then safe mode will detect problems and try to fix them;
If we talk about software, the mode analyzes its functioning. A lot says a lot about how Android works, including how long the phone can last. The mode will help remove freezes and identify the cause of their occurrence;
Performance monitoring. This task takes place in several stages, including “cleaning”.

Note! This mode is often called Safe Mode. It is also available on other phones, but on Huawei and Honor it is a built-in feature.

The need for this regime is clear to everyone. If the owner of an Honor or Huawei wants to get the most out of the life of his phone, then he should turn on this mode from time to time, check the condition of the phone, and generally monitor its operation.

Factory reset

This will help return your phone to the condition in which you received it from the store.

Attention! Make a backup first so you don't lose everything on your device. Synchronize contacts and calendar. Save application data, Wi-Fi passwords, music, photos and videos (we recommend Google Photos for this - a gallery with the ability to store pictures and videos in cloud storage). In general, everything that you yourself entered into your smartphone.

If you are done with this, move on to the “Hard reset” process.

Open Settings - Backup & Reset.
Click "Erase data", agree to the warning and wait for the process to complete.

The device will now boot. Log in to your account again and wait for the applications to install. In Android Oreo this is easier; there is an option to recover Wi-Fi passwords and login data for applications.

How to disable safe mode on Honor and Huawei phones

Sometimes this mode can be turned on without the user's request. When it is activated, a corresponding designation appears on the screen: “Safe Mode” appears in the lower left corner. There are several ways to remove it. It cannot disappear on its own. There are four ways that the developers have thought through. Each one is worth talking about separately.

You can see more details about disabling Safe Mode on an Honor phone in this video

With a reboot

This is one of the simplest methods, since there is no need to click on additional buttons. It is enough to use something that will not harm the phone - reboot the system.

Sometimes the system should be rebooted just like that, without the need to disable the mode. This is due to the fact that after a reboot, many processes are cleared, including the program cache, clipboard and much more.

To disable Safe Mode using a standard reboot, just follow a few steps:

Activate the device;
After this, you need to hold down the side power button, which is usually located on the right side;
A special menu will appear on the screen in which you should select the “Reboot” option;
You should wait for the reboot process to complete.

This completes all manipulations with the phone. When the phone turns on again, the safe mode that the user activated accidentally or the system did it on its own will disappear from the screen.

Rebooting the device depends on what model of phone a person has.

Via control panel

Switching to normal mode is also possible through the control panel. This method is also convenient since there is no need to reboot the device. If the user knows how the control panel works, then he can use this method:

First you need to activate and unlock your phone;
Now you need to swipe down from the top of the screen to open the control panel. If the user has done everything correctly, the notification panel will appear, as well as some system functions;
After this, it is worth finding those running services that operate in safe mode. The control panel immediately tells you to enable safe mode. This is evidenced by the corresponding notice;

It’s worth tapping on the line that talks about mode settings. The system will automatically prompt you to disable this mode. The person needs to click on the agreement clause.

After this, the phone can reboot on its own, or it can continue its work by simply turning off the mode. It all depends on what kind of phone a person has, what model and firmware he has installed. This method is convenient if you don’t want to reboot the device yourself or use others. It is also worth noting that this method is safe.

Using buttons

Disabling the mode using buttons is relevant if the user was unable to remove the protection on the phone or activate it. To turn it off using the buttons, you also need to turn off the device, and then try to turn it on while holding down one of the volume buttons. This can be either an increase in volume or a further decrease. After this, the device will turn on in the mode in which it worked previously.

On some Honors, sometimes you need to hold down the volume key again to completely turn off the mode.

Extreme way

If the user was unable to turn off this mode using the methods described above, then he can use the last and most dangerous one - using the hard reset system. This method is really very dangerous in that the user completely loses all his data about the phone and its system. In fact, it includes a new phone and system that cannot be restored in the future.

As mentioned earlier, this method is the most extreme and dangerous. It should be used only in specific situations when safe mode cannot be turned off in any way. It is worth being aware that the Honor system will need to be configured anew, that is, not only will all data be lost, but also their further destruction.

If the user decides to do it, then he should do the following:

First, you need to turn off the device using any of the convenient methods. This can be done either through the control panel or using buttons;
After this, you should hold down the power button and the volume up key for a certain amount of time. This number varies depending on the phone model;
As soon as the user sees the company logo on the screen, he should release the buttons;
After this, you should use the volume down key. A special menu will appear in which you should select wipe data, and then confirm your decision using the power button;
The reset process will take a certain amount of time. The user should wait until it is completed.

If the user did everything correctly, then not only the system itself will look like when it was first turned on, but also safe mode will automatically turn off. Before using this method, you should also contact a service center and also try the methods described above. A hard reset is an extreme and extreme option that completely restarts the entire phone process. It should be performed only after the user is convinced that nothing more can be done.

"malware removal"

First, make sure you know which app caused your phone to switch to safe mode.

If the smartphone's transition to safe mode is due to the installation of an application from third-party sources, there are three ways to solve this problem: clear the cache, erase application data and delete the application. Let's start by clearing the cache:

If this doesn't help, move on to the next step. The sequence of actions is similar to the previous point, only instead of clearing the cache, you need to select clearing the storage.

Important! Deleting app data clears the cache and your user data, returning it to its original state.

If safe mode still does not turn off, the application will have to be uninstalled. This is done in the same menu as clearing the storage and cache.

After restoring the phone's functionality, it would not be superfluous to scan for viruses.

How to enable safe mode again

If the user wants to reactivate Safe Mode after disabling it, then he can do so quite easily. To do this you need a couple of steps:

Turn on and unlock Honor;
After that, hold down the power button to bring up the control menu;
As soon as the menu appears, the user should click on the “Turn off power” item;
If the user has done everything correctly, a window will appear telling them to enter safe mode. Click and agree to the decision using the “Yes” button;
When Safe Mode is activated, a corresponding icon will appear in the lower left corner of the screen.

In this way, you can reactivate safe mode if the user accidentally disabled it or if he needs to enable it for his actions with the system.

Question to the expert

In what cases should this mode be activated?

Safe mode should be activated when the system stops working stably. It will help identify the reason why the phone is working with glitches or interruptions. It is worth noting that sometimes the problem may be due to one program. Safe mode will help you identify which utility is causing all the problems and slowdowns on your phone.

How often should you activate Safe Mode?

It all depends on the degree of clutter in the system. If the phone is working stably and a person just wants to make sure that everything is working properly, then he can use this mode once a month. If the phone is not working normally, then the mode should be turned on at a time when the phone will show obvious glitches.

Do I need to download additional programs to support the mode?

No. Since Safe Mode is a built-in feature, there is no need for additional utilities. They will only clutter the system and will not do anything useful for the phone.

"clear phone memory"

This method of disabling Safe Mode will help if your smartphone's memory is clogged with large or incorrectly cached files, as this is what leads to poor performance of any device.

To fix the problem, go to Phone Manager (or another default smartphone cache clearing app) and start the cleaning process. Repeat the procedure several times until you are sure that your device is completely clean.

Before performing this procedure, create a backup copy of your data, so you will definitely not lose anything important.

What is it needed for

Safe Mode is a special feature on Huawei smartphones that helps avoid errors and failures in the operating system. When this mode is turned on, a completely clean shell is launched, as if the phone was just out of the box. Only applications pre-installed by the developer remain in the OS, and all user programs, as well as changes made by the user, are disabled.

After launching Safe Mode, all applications will disappear, but after disabling it, user programs will return to their place.

It is recommended to enable this mode after any application disrupts the stable operation of the system:

there are delays - after pressing the screen, it takes from 10 to 30 seconds before the system responds;
applications start and shut down on their own;
some functions stop working.

Safe Mode is implemented on almost all Huawei smartphones and supports the following functions:

Booting a “clean” OS - all user applications will be disabled.
The ability to identify problems in the system and eliminate them.
At the same time, the smartphone will be able to receive calls and access the Internet.

Enabling the mode

There are several ways to enter safe mode, which differ depending on the version of the operating system.

Method for older Lenovo, Nokia and other models with Android up to 4.1:

Turn off the smartphone using the hardware button.
We turn on the device again and at the moment the manufacturer’s company logo appears, press both sound control buttons and hold them until it is fully turned on.
The smartphone starts in safe mode, which is indicated by a message at the bottom of the screen.

On all phones with Android 4.1 and above, to activate the mode you need:

Press and hold the device power off button for a few seconds.
After the window with suggested actions appears, press and hold the “Turn off” item.
In the new “Go to Safe Mode” window, select “Yes”.
The phone will reboot and turn on in the desired mode.

On smartphones Meizu, Huawei, Xiaomi and others with MIUI firmware, the algorithm of actions is slightly different. You need to completely turn off the phone and hold down all the physical keys: volume and power. As soon as the logo appears, we can stop holding the power button.
