HI everyone. I have a problem with my xperia arc.
My menu button isstucked, so every time i boot the phone it is on "Safe Mode" (no 3rd party apps).
Is there some way of disable safe mode using a custom ROM?
TY!

I have the same problem!
Hi guys,
Don't know if this will help, but it's an idea.
Maybe it is worth trying to open up the phone to see if you can un-stick or disable the button.
Here's a tutorial to change the cover of the phone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800226
It involves taking the phone apart and putting it back together again.
So when it is apart you can see why the button is stuck, and think about a fix.
I hope this works - otherwise
Good luck

Hello
dose any one know what safemode is on desire. To start it you need to reboot you phone and on the boot animation you need to spam the track ball until the boot animation reboot and then spam meny key until the phone start.
P.S is a gray zone and text safe mode in it when it start in safe mode.
the only thing I noticed was the A2SD wasn't working
I'd imagine it's something like regular recovery mode on Linux. But if it's anything like that it should have full root permissions.

Actually, you just need to power up your phone whilst holding down menu, and keep it held down until the phone has fully booted.
When in safe mode, the phone will not run any 3rd party applications or widgets - so, if you've installed an app that is causing problems (e.g. reboots on boot up), you can boot up in safe mode and uninstall it.

Quick question, might be kinda dumb, but I haven't yet figured out how to reboot my ZL from the power menu. Only thing I can currently do is shut the phone down, and then power it back up again.
I'm not rooted so I don't have ClockworkMod or anything like that that gives me different options in the power button menu..

Yes, as far as i remember the stock rom doesn't have reboot option but you will get the reboot option if you install modded rom.

No stock Android ROM has a reboot function... Only 'Power Off'. Only custom ROMs will give you the extended power menu with the ability to reboot into recovery, etc. You also have the reset button in the rear of the phone next to the microSD slot which is essentially like pulling the battery.

Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to share something new I found out about android today, and probably a feature in ICS and JB only. Its not mentioned often but its simply being able to boot into Safe Mode on Android just like how you would enter Safe Mode in MS Windows.
Sometimes we tend to download and install 3rd party apps that we may know little of, and which may cause sudden Force Closures or freeze the phone a few seconds after booting is completed. Now, instead of having to format and reflash the ROM and go through all the trouble. Why not just enter into the Safe Mode which effectively disables all 3rd party apps including ones that are the main culprit? Once in the Safe Mode you may simply uninstall the app that's causing trouble and restart.
There are 2 methods that I know of to enter Safe Mode:
Method 1: (This method doesn't seem to work in Samsung roms)
1. Just after Normal boot is complete, immediately Hold Power Button
2. When Power menu Opens up, tap and hold the Reboot for a few seconds
3. You will get a dialogue asking you to reboot into Safe Mode
4. Hit Yes and your good to go!
5. To exit Safe Mode simply reboot your phone normally.
Method 2:
1. Fully turn OFF the device
2. Hold both Up and Down Volume keys and simultaneously press the Power Button to boot.
3. Release Power Button but keep holding Volume keys until boot is complete.
4. To exit Safe Mode simply reboot your phone normally.
Its that easy! Now a few of you may already know this so hats off to you. But majority of the users here dont, so pat your back for learning something new today

hello all,
my lenovo P2, has it's ultimate power saving mode turned on whilst the button for turning it on/off is not working.
I tried factory resetting the device after which the power saving mode is still on.
Is there any way to bypass the ultimate power saving mode ?
Thanks in advance, Reinier
Install custom rom, cuz many custom roms does not support it.
It seems to be, that this switch is damaged and need to be repaired.

Flash stock rom
Flashing stock Rom won't solve anything..sjnce it seems to be a Hardware issue.
He should give custom roms without op key support a try. Miss Valeria already suggested that
