Galaxy SIII Safe Mode

I know that this is normally a iPhone Tutorial but I came across this and wanted to share for any customer service or tech reps out there:

Safe Mode - Samsung Galaxy S® III

Safe Mode temporarily disables all applications that have been installed via the Android Market. Performing this troubleshooting step is necessary to determine whether a 3rd party application is the cause of an Operating System / Application issue. Safe Mode should always be performed prior to a hard (factory) reset.
With Safe mode enabled, test device and application functionality. If the previous issue fails to occur, the cause has been isolated to a 3rd party application and all recently installed / updated applications should be uninstalled. With Safe mode disabled, reinstall then test each application, one at a time, to identify which is causing the problem.
