In this simple guide, we will explain step by step everything you have to do to enter the safe mode in seconds on your TV box or smart TV. You can use your device again normally. It is easier than it seems!
What is the safe way on Android TV or Google TV?
He Safe way is a diagnostic function that allows the system to temporarily deactivate all apps that are not pre-installed. Normally, it is used to detect whether a failure or malfunction of the TV or TV box is related to an app that was downloaded and installed manually.
When the smart TV starts in this mode, A small message is observed in a corner of the screen. What does it say? “Safe mode”. In summary, only the basic apps of the system will work, and you cannot use services such as Netflix or YouTube (unless they are installed from the factory).
It should be noted that the safe mode is not activated by itself. The most common is to start by holding one of the control buttons while the TV is being turned on. This can happen unintentionally if, for example, the command gets stuck somewhere (something that happens very often if we lose control and do not find it).
So you can remove the safe mode from your Android TV or Google TV
As we mentioned at the beginning of the article, you can deactivate this mode in very few steps. You just have to follow this guide to deactivate it correctly:
- First, you have to enter your TV Box or Android TV settings.
- Once the settings menu is deployed, you must press “All configuration”.
- Therefore, you will have to enter the section that says “System”.
- Show until the end of the menu, and click on “Reboot”.
- Finally, give the option “Reboot”.
If you performed all the steps correctly, your Android TV or Google TV will reset automatically. Once the message will not appear again, the message will no longer appear “Safe mode” In the corner of the screen.
It is worth adding that there are times when the Smart TV or TV Box presents performance problems when this mode is deactivated. If this is your case, we recommend you take a look at this guide to optimise Android TV if it’s slow.
