Start Android Phone in Safe Mode
When your Android Phone or Tablet starts in Safe Mode, you will clearly see the words “Safe Mode” at the lower left corner of the screen. Safe Mode disables all third-party Apps and allows your device to function using only the Native Android System Apps that came originally with your Android Phone or Tablet. If your Phone or Tablet functions normally in Safe Mode, it confirms that the problem is being caused by one of the Apps installed on your device. If your device does not function normally in Safe Mode, it points to the possibility of the problem being caused due to damage to Operating System or Firmware files.

Note: If your Phone Restarts with a Dark Screen, press and hold the Power button, until you see the Login screen.
