FAQ
What is Safe Mode?
It is a mode that loads basic software so that you can access your device in the event that it won’t start.
Why is my device stuck in Safe Mode?
Be sure you are choosing the “Restart” option. If you still have problems, you may need to uninstall items you may have recently installed that are causing problems on the device. It is also possible that the “Volume Down” button is stuck and causing it to start in Safe Mode with every restart.

Hi
My volume button is indeed stuck due to a recent drop,any solutions or ways around?
When I press the volume down button and power button at the same time, my phone boots as it is supposed to. When I release the power button, and I am still holding the volume down button in, it just keeps rebooting. After the “Samsung” logo, it vibrates a little and just starts over. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for all your help. Now, how do I get my camera to work on my note 3
