Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e - Power Up in Safe Mode
Here's how to boot your Galaxy Tab S5e into Safe Mode to help determine if an app is causing it to freeze, reset or run slowly.
Safe Mode puts your phone in a diagnostic state (returned to default settings) so you can determine if a third-party app is causing your device to freeze, reset or run slow.
An alternate method is available if the device can be powered on and is responsive.
- With the device powered off, press and hold thePower/SideandVolume down buttonsuntil the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e screen appears.
- Release thePower buttonbut continue to hold theVolume down button.
- Continue to hold theVolume down buttonuntil 'Safe mode' appears in the lower-left of the unlock or Home screen then release.This may take up to 45 seconds.
- With Safe Mode enabled, ensure Airplane Mode is turned off then test device and app functionality.
