The safe mode generally happens when the buttons for power or volume up or down are stuck or damaged. So the phone goes into safe mode cause it gets a signal that the buttons are being pressed. You can try firmly tapping the side of the device were the buttons are located to see if it's a mechanical failure that you can loosen the button back to the unpressed position but often times it requires replacement of the switch under the buttons to fix.

The proximity sensor that's part of the front-facing camera and microphone flex is not positioned correctly in it's slot or the slot itself is not clear enough for it to detect your face. You can test by placing your finger over the top of the phone screen across the microphone and front camera, it should turn off and back on as you over this area, you might find that you have to hold your hand directly on the glass to make it happen, this would tell you the sensor works but its not seated correct so its not sensitive enough to see your cheek while on a call.

The one I have in front of me that's not working for this phone says MDH-7562-r54w
