How can I disable safe mode?

[winnipegwriter]

My phone died this morning on the way to work. When I charged the battery a bit and turned it back on, it was in safe mode. I've restarted the phone multiple times and it's still in safe mode. I have also shut it down completely and then restarted it, but to no avail. AND I have removed the battery and still, nothing.

Help! How can I disable safe mode?

Welcome to Android Central! It'd help if you let us know what kind of phone you have.

I can't believe I forgot to write what kind of phone! It's a Galaxy 4S.

Lol, that's S4--4S would be that other fruit phone! Try booting into Recovery and wiping the cache partition. No personal data will be lost. Follow the steps here under Wipe Cache Partition.

Can you tell I haven't had my coffee yet today?

Is there any other way to access that information? That page just loads and loads but my screen just remains blank.

How long have you had the phone charging? I wouldn't try anything until it's had at least 15 hours of uninterrupted charge. 24 hours would be even better.

It's not charging anymore. It had about 30 per cent charge when I turned it on and noticed it was on Safe Mode.

Anybody?

Possibly a bad battery. Others have posted about problems like this on the S4. If your phone isn't brand new, and you don't have insurance, then consider contacting Samsung for warranty work.

As I said, try a 24 hour charge - whether it looks as if it's charging or not. If that brings it back, back up everything fast.
