safe mode, Good way to find out if any third party apps are causing issues.
Power off
Power on and hold down both up and down volume buttons and keep them held down until it boots up. SAFE MODE will appear at the bottom of the screen.

I was surprised to find that just putting my phone down in the plastic case it came in from samsung caused the phone to enter download mode, (with the green robot and the warning "do not switch off target"). Shows the buttons are very sensitive.
It wasn't connected to the pc or anything.
Does entering download mode this way , ie accidentally, do anything bad?. I got out of download mode by pulling the battery out. The screen wallpaper had changed but apart from that all my settings seem the same.
Does nothing except be VERY annoying (unless you have a stock firmware copied to your sd card - then it will flash firmware)...
Case will probably keep shutting your phone off , going through and selecting apps and making your volume go up and down as you need to press power, volume down and menu button to go to download mode. You then need to press volume up.
This must be a very tight case and it's strange that the menu button is pressed as most cases don't have a screen guard anymore owing to the touchscreens of new phones.
To turn off you only need to hold power button down for 10 seconds. Don't need to pull battery...
Brand New VZW Note 5. Couple of times a day, my Boot Maintenance screen shows up. Not sure why this is happening. I have to use the volume button to toggle to the reboot normal choice and then select via the power button to escape from the Boot screen. I thought you had to access this by powering off and powering on by holding the volume up and power buttons together during restart. What gives?No idea how to stop this annoyance.
Let me guess...you have a case on it? It's the case. It's either pressing the power and volume buttons just enough or its the kickstand that you may possibly have on the case.
Press menu + vol down + power.
Hold down all three buttons until the tablet reboots and the screen momentarily goes off, then after about one second the Samsung and Android logos appear in white.
Now we are at the point where the tablet screen has just gone dark. You have less than one second to:
1) If you release the power button now, the tablet simply reboots.
2) If you keep holding the buttons the tablet enters Download mode.
3) If you very quickly, VERY quickly, press VOL UP, while still holding down the power + menu, the tablet enters the recovery.
I have not found a way to switch it off other than entering recovery and then selecting reboot/power off.
Hard reset only is actually just hold POWER + VOL DOWN
Hi my volume button down is broken and everytime it boots it's in safemode.
Whenever trying to access recovery it normally boots up when buttons are pressed.
Booting into download mode freezes it, I have to do a hard reboot by pressing all the buttons.
Volume/power button work fine when in use.
I've opened up my phone to disconnect my volume button it stills boots up in safemode.
I've tried 2 new roms still in safemode.
Hello brother,
Even you flash 2 new roms still booting up safe mode, bad seen
i feel your volume down button was keep pressed maybe,,,,,maybe (it should be b coz of dust or something else).
to be confirm is that your volume button broken or pressed follow the steps below
1. switch on your mobile release the power key and Press again the power key and wait till finish the boot, (if the device get restarted it means we can confirm your volume down button was pressed & hold)
2. press home button & power button check if the device is going to download mode ( if you stuck press power button u will get exit)
how ever try to clean the volume down button inside and pull slightly. after turn on your mobile.
if your damn sure volume button was broken not working at all, then lets think about it
Phone was running quite happily running Linage 15.1. Accidentally left it in the car over the weekend, only to find it totally dead - flat battery. Charged it up and switched it on, only to see it in Safe Mode.
I can get into Download mode (Volume Down + Home button), Recovery Mode (Volume Up + Home Button)
To test the Volume Down button, I tried to boot with Volume Up +Volume Down + Home button pressed and it just boots up - unfortunately in Safe Mode. So it doesn't appear to be the volume down button, yet in Safe Mode the volume Down button doesn't do anything.
I have tried leaving the battery out overnight, Flashing stock Rom.
Any Ideas?
Update: I replaced the volume cable - no change.
