    My N5 was one acting up and wouldn't boot earlier. It just kept getting stuck on the splash screen and kept cycling on and off but would never boot up. Anyway I stayed pushing and holding things and it finally booted but in "safe mode". I think I held volume down when the slash screen was on.
    So now it looks like it's been reset cause my apps and home screen are back to "factory" and I don't know
    A) how I got into boot mode (and what it means)
    And
    B) how I get out of it

    Can any one help?
    Thank you!

    Safe mode should go away on restart.

    Safe mode: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2852139?hl=en
    It basically disables all third party apps for troubleshooting issues
    To get into safe mode, instead of tapping on power off in the dialog box, touch and hold power off.
