Suddenly Your long-lasting buddy MOTO X gets stuck. You so are frustrated and want to break your head. Your buddy told you to try to open it in Safe mode. But you don’t know how to do it?
I understand that pain. Moto X has been my pal since 2014 when it was first released. Even now, I use it for nostalgia. I’ve faced countless situations where I needed to open my phone in safe mode. So through research, I’ve found the fastest way to turn the safe mode on.
So worry not. In this article, I will show you the easiest method, even if your Grandma can open Safe mode in seconds.
What does Safe Mode do on Motorola Mobile?
Safe mode turns on your phone in a restricted way. In safe mode, the phone runs normally, but all the third-party apps get blocked in the background. So the phone will open the same as when you brought it first.
However, your saved log-in info won’t be available in the safe mode. So you need to log in again to apps like Facebook and LinkedIn.
Safe mode allows you to access your mobile Operating system when it won’t open normally or struck in normal way. This is a perfect solution when you install a defective app and that app prevents you from starting your device correctly.
Overview Of MOTO X
Moto X was released in 2014 and became one of the better-looking phones available at that time. Also, it was cheaper than its competitor, with a higher display resolution.
Moreover, the MOTO X has an Aluminum frame, and You can engrave the back of your phone with your name or a logo.
Moto X has a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with full HD resolution, which stands out to this date. It has a 1.7 GHz octa-core Snapdragon 801 processor is enough to play games like Grand theft auto san Andreas.
The Motorola X has a 13MP autofocus camera with an engaging dual-LED flash in a shape of a ring that defuses the light more evenly, similar to the ring light that has become popular now.
The battery of Motox was 2300 mAh with a micro USB port for charging, which is one of the downsides.
The phone originally came out with Android 4.4 KitKat and was upgraded to 6.0 Marshmallow. So relatively to date version of the app can still be downloaded from the play store.
The Speaker of MOTO X isn’t stereotyped. However, The sound experience is pretty good to this date. The sound can get surprisingly loud and also clean. It doesn’t discord even if you are pushing the sound to max volume.
The experience is also quite good in terms of scrubbing between parts of the video. The Wifi strenth was really good in the MOTO X for the by-carbonate backing. The antenna of the WIFI can pass through without any issues.
Overall this is a beautiful phone to hold in terms of the construction quality with a fluid, super-sensitive screen, and the snapdragon 800 series is still one of the good processors.
