Safe Mode Boot for Desire?

hi all.
I seem to have read somewhere that you can boot a Desire in to a "Safe Mode"?
Is that correct? If so can anyone advise on how to do it? Alternatively point me to resources that explain a bit more?
In case you're wondering why I'm looking - I recently upgraded to Froyo. That led to my Desire only connecting to my local Belkin N1 Router with a static ip address. I want to see if there's something else getting in the way.
Thanks in advance.

Yes.
First take your sim card out. When you turn your desire on, press the menu button until you see the lock screen. And you are in the safe mode.

How do you get it out of ' Safe Mode ' and back into normal mode !!!!

I have the same problem....Please help.
I think I tried everything during power on, Power+VolumeDown, Power+middle button..., nothing works !!!

Anyone?

Not even power button alone works? If so, I would pull battery, put in SIM and start desire normally.

please.. can anyone tell me whats wrong with my sense???
almost everytime i unlock my phone, it will restart all over....

Hello,
The first thing you can do - go to Settings, then Applications, find HTC Sense and delete it's application data. If it doesn't work try to wipe everything (all your data will be lost)
Turn the power off. If your HTC Desire is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
lost, so make a backup/sync your contacts).

Do you run a custom ROM?

there are now 3 different threads about Sense restarting on the same page.
Maybe you'd like to search?

[Q] Problem with nandroid backup

I have rooted my HTC Desire with unrevoked and alpharev and now i was going to do a nandroid backup. But when i press the backup and restore button the screen goes black and just stays that way, so i have to pull the battery and restart it. Can anyone help me with this?

What button? ROM Manager? Do it from recovery, and make sure you have enough free space on your sd card (~300MB minimum).
I found out the hard way what happens if you don't.

That's what i'm doing. I turn the phone off. Turn it on by pressing volume down and the on-button. I then go into recovery and scroll down to backup and restore, and press the on-button. Then the screen just goes black and i have to pull the battery and restart it.

Press the trackpad rather than the standby button! This should have the desired effect

screen broken no boot?

i dropped my S4 and it broke the LCD/Digitizer. now for some reason it wont even turn on.
can anybody tell me if the device will not turn on if the screen is broke? when i hold the power button, it just vibrates once and thats it, no lights or anything.
or is it possible something on the inside has been damaged to cause it not to turn on?
i can get it replaced through my insurance, but id rather get the screen replaced if i can because there is a lot of sensitive data on there that i need to recover some how.

If you feel a vibration after pressing the power button the phone IS powering on. You just can't see anything due to the screen being broke. You can try connecting your phone to your computer via USB and hope that the MTP Application loads up so that you can view your Internal and External SD cards under Removable Drives on your computer. Try connecting your phone about a minute after you feel the vibration when pressing the power button. Hopefully the kind of data you are trying to recover is on either of the SD cards.

I think I know exactly what you're talking about OP. Does the phone vibrate quickly like it's going to power on then nothing happens? I broke a screen on my S4 and it wouldn't turn on. I just recently connected a good screen to my phone that was having the same issue as yours and it powered on immediately. So, I'm fairly sure the screen is the reason why your phone isn't turning on?

thanks, tried this.
my computer does see that the phone is connected. but MTP does not activate. could this be because i have a screen lock pattern?

I don't think the lock screen pattern should affect it, no. It usually boots up and displays the little USB icon in the top left as soon as its plugged in regardless of the phone being locked.
Stupid question but do you think the digitizer really is broken? You might be able to still draw the pattern for the lock screen and see if anything happens. Sorry this had to happen to you. Replacing the screen yourself might be the best bet. Or finding a service online. I'm sure it's easy to do.

I think the lock screen pattern does indeed affect it. I had a friend who broke her screen and was unable to access her files because of the pattern.

Back button not saving state

Hello, just got my new 10 coming from the m8!!
Did anyone notice that the back button doesn't take you back to the position you were? For example if you go to people and press on a contact. When you press back again, it takes you to the top of the list. This wasnt the case with my m8 running MM.
Any thoughts?

I disagree.
I opened People, I tapped on a contact's photo, it rendered the contact preview pop-up, I tapped on card icon in the upper right corner and the full contact card is opened, I scrolled up and down then tapped back button, and I'm taken back to the contacts list at the same position (level) where I was... What's wrong?
P.S. Please note that I do not keep any contacts in Google Account but all of them are stored locally, and being backed thru VCF backup file (if this matters). ??

Just checked Settings either. No probs. Same behavior - after hitting BACK, whilst inside some sub menu, took me back to the list (in the middle, not to the top of list)..

Ok i managed to fix this. I turned off animation under developer settings.
One other thing, if you have wifi, mobile data, or bluetooth turned on, and you go into settings, do you notice that the slider buttons are instantly turning on? Like they were off and when you press settings, they turn on?
