I am assuming most of you have already updated to Jelly Bean, which had started rolling out since October. It works like a charm on my galaxy s3. Anyways coming back to the amazing thing which happened last night when I was trying to reboot my S3. Of late my phone has been acting a little weird, a little sluggish so I was trying out various things to fix it. Of course I fixed it but before that let me explain how the amazing thing that happened. Most (some) of you might not know about the safe mode in android. I was rebooting my phone as usual by chance I must have pressed some key and phone started. It looked normal but suddenly I noticed a water mark on bottom left of my screen which said safe mode. I was pleasantly surprized and starting researching more. This is what I came across, as soon as you enter safe mode all the third party applications are automatically disabled and only stock applications are running. You would also notice a watermark on the bottom left of your screen. You can easily analyse what was causing the lag. So I was also able to understand which crappy app was eating the entire RAM and uninstalled it right away.

To enter safe mode:

1. Switch off your phone completely.
2. Switch on using power button.
3. As soon as you see Samsung logo, hit the left touch button till the phone boots in safe mode.
4. Try repeating the process if it does not happen first time.

Nonetheless, so far it has been a great upgrade after galaxy S2. In case you are an android lover and still haven’t bought it. You are definitely missing out on the android experience. In fact, yesterday I also came across a website where you can get a decent discount. You might wanna try out a leading store from their electronics section. I had paid a lot more for the same device which was running ICS back then. I would still recommend gifting yourself one for this Christmas.

Thanks
