Smartphone problems can be difficult to resolve, especially if you are not a tech-savvy user. Apps crashing or freezing, the handset overheating, or running slowly are all common issues that phone owners face. Many smartphone difficulties are software-related, and they can be resolved by putting your device into Safe Mode. TECNO POP 4 is a device by Tecno that has two two-inch screens and 4 GB internal storage. This device has a dual SIM slot and a microSD card slot. It runs the Android 5.1 operating system. This article will show you how to remove Safe Mode from your TECNO Pop 4 Device.
What Is Safe Mode?
When enabled, Safe Mode on Android devices is a troubleshooting tool. By restarting your phone in Safe Mode, you can evaluate whether or not a third-party app is causing the problems you're having with your phone.
When your TECNO pop 4 boots into Safe Mode, all third-party apps and non-essential software are deactivated. Only the pre-installed ones, such as Gmail, YouTube, and others, will continue to function.
Why Is Your Tecno Pop 4 Stuck in Safe Mode
Typically, a phone stuck in safe mode is due to the Volume button freezing and being unable to exit safe mode. Then you won't be able to exit safe mode on TECNO Pop 4, and app icons may be greyed out.
Furthermore, the safe mode will not switch off after restarting. There may be other operating system faults that cause your phone to enter safe mode, but they are extremely unusual and will rarely occur.
What to Do When Safe Mode Refuses to Disappear
If safe mode still won't turn off after restarting and the volume button is firmly locked, you can attempt the following 6 solutions to fix the safe mode stuck issue.
Restarting or turning on/off the TECNO Pop 4
Make sure your Android is in Safe Mode. Your Android is currently in Safe Mode if you notice a "Safe Mode" stamp in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
If this stamp does not appear, your Android is not in Safe Mode. If your Android is running slowly or prohibiting you from performing certain operations, you might try rebooting it anyway. As you may be aware, restarting a phone can cure a variety of problems, thus it stands to reason that restarting can also deactivate Safe Mode on TECNO. Here are the easy step-by-step actions to take:
- Hold down the Power/Lock key for a few seconds until two options appear.
- To restart, swipe up. If the restart option does not appear, continue to hold down the Power key for around 30 seconds.
- The device will then restart. In rare circumstances, you may discover that your phone does not boot, but this is not a major issue.
NOTE: The power button on an Android device is often located on the right side of the device's casing.
Making use of key Combinations (hardware buttons)
Safe Mode can also be disabled in TECNO Pop 4 by using hardware buttons. The following steps will lead you through the procedure:
- Turn off the phone.
- When it is turned off, press and hold the Power or Lock button.
- Release the Power or Lock button after the TECNO logo displays on your screen.
- Press and hold the Volume Down key as soon as you remove the Power or Lock button.
Remove unwanted apps from your phone
If your TECNO Pop 4 becomes stuck in safe mode after installing an app, that software could be the source of the problem. You won't be able to prove this until you delete the app from your phone and see if your phone remains in safe mode.
You may still uninstall apps from your phone whether you're in regular or safe mode. You can remove the suspicious software or party apps from your device, which should resolve the issue. This is demonstrated here.
Step 1: Go to your phone's Settings app and select Apps & notifications.
Step 2: Locate and tap the app that you believe is causing the issue.
Step 3: Tap Uninstall on the subsequent screen to delete the program from your device.
Restore factory settings to your TECNO Pop 4
It is sometimes the phone's core files that lead it to be stuck in safe mode. If you suspect this is the situation with your phone, a simple solution is to reset it to factory settings. This approach is simple to use, but keep in mind that you will lose everything on your phone. Also, if FRP (factory reset protection) is active, you may need to validate your Google account after the reset.
If you're ready, here's how to solve it when your phone becomes stuck in safe mode by resetting it.
Step 1: Open the Settings app and scroll down to System.
Step 2: Tap Reset options to see the numerous methods for resetting your phone.
Step 3: Select Erase all data (factory reset), and your device will be reset to factory settings.
Enabling safe mode in TECNO Pop 4
Another reason it might not work on your phone is that the volume buttons are damaged. When you have a broken volume button, you may believe you are pressing and holding the button when you are not. This type of issue may even force your smartphone to enter Safe Mode on occasion. If your phone is having such problems, the best thing you can do is visit the Carlcare service center nearest to you for quality repair assistance.

What Can You Do in Safe Mode?
As previously stated, when a TECNO phone boots into Safe Mode, all third-party apps or non-essential software will not load. Only the pre-installed ones will continue to function.
