Samsung Safe Mode

Samsung Galaxy devices powered by the Android operating system come with a feature called Safe Mode. Through this guide, you can be learning what is Safe mode on Samsung phones, how to activate it, and how it’s helpful to troubleshoot apps.

What is Safe Mode?

Safe Mode on Samsung phones lets your Galaxy device run as normal but restricts third-party apps from being used. When you put your phone in Safe Mode and no longer experience the issue, you’ve determined that the problem is not in the device’s operating system.

Instead, it’s likely from an app that’s been downloaded onto your device. While in Safe Mode, your phone will only have access to core apps that were pre-installed in the phone at the factory. It makes it quite easier to make sure the phone and its operating system are completely error-free and there’s no need for repair.

How to activate Safe Mode

To activate Safe Mode, hold the power key until the Power off icon appears. Now, press and hold the Power off icon until the Safe Mode prompt appears, finally, select Safe Mode to confirm. Once your device has powered on, you should see the words “Safe Mode” in the lower right/left corner of your screen.

How to troubleshoot apps

In case the problem doesn’t occur while in Safe Mode, you’ve determined that the problem is caused by a third-party app that was downloaded to your Samsung Galaxy. So, it’s time to remove the suspected apps and services due to which your device started causing problems.

  1. Remove apps downloaded around the time the problem began.

How to exit Safe Mode

To exit Safe Mode, simply restart your Samsung Galaxy device and it will reboot normally. Meanwhile, you can also enter Safe Mode by pressing the Power key, touching and holding the Power off icon, and then touching the Safe Mode icon.

One UI 6.1 Battery last charge feature

Samsung has updated its Device Care app to version 13.8.6.11, which brings back the “since last charge” feature for its Galaxy smartphones. It was removed from Galaxy devices in the One UI 6 update. This function allows users to monitor their device’s battery performance and screen usage time since the last full charge.

According to the tipster Tarunvats, the return of the “since last charged” feature is due to user demand as it provides an accurate review of battery life. This feature is more informative than previous 24-hour tracking systems, which did not consider charging periods.

Samsung denies as Apple wants cheaper OLED for iPhone SE 4: Report

Apple iPhone SE 2025

Apple is reportedly working on a new device and the Cupertino-based company was in talks with Samsung and other manufacturers for the supply of display panels. Meanwhile, a new report suggests that Samsung denies this deal as Apple wants cheaper OLED for iPhone SE 4.

According to the details, Apple is been considering top manufacturers like Samsung and BOE as the main suppliers for the OLED of its iPhone SE 4. Consequently, the US tech giant is planning to launch the iPhone SE 4 next year with an expected production of 15 million units.

However, this massive production volume might make the iPhone SE 4 extremely beneficial for suppliers, but Samsung Display has refused to provide a display for the phone. Because, Apple has rejected Samsung’s offer of $30 per panel and seeking a more budget-friendly option.

Yes, the US tech giant only wants to pay $25 per display and is therefore said to be switching to Chinese manufacturers such as BOE for production. Notably, Apple’s focus on cost-saving for its budget-oriented iPhone SE line is legible, as displays are among the most expensive components.

Previously leaked renders of the iPhone SE 4 hint that, Apple is planning to offer some significant changes with its upcoming affordable phone because the design of the device looks identical to the iPhone 14.

The device is expected to sport a larger 6.1-inch display with a home button and a notch size similar to the iPhone 13/14 series. In addition, the device also houses a Face ID and a single primary camera at the back.
