Why Safe mode ? if you suspect that some app is causing a problem or you are testing your original(stock apps), this mode disables most apps that are not included in the system. to diagnose your phone/view hardware specs you can dial *#*#3424#*#* (*#*#DIAG#*#*)
How ?Restart your phone when the screen lights up hold the volume down button until the phone boots completely and you should be in safe mode.
You can confirm it if it says SAFE MODE in bottom-left corner.
How to turn it off ? Simply reboot your phone
Cheers !

Press power key then press and hold the menu key
1. Press " power key " for power on device
2. Wait until "HTC logo" appears on screen
3. Press and hold " Volume down key " until entering OS
4. " Safe Mode " text will appears on the lower left of screen.
1.If the display is off, press the POWER button to turn it back on.
2.Unlock your phone if the Lock screen is displayed. See “Unlocking the screen” in the Getting started chapter.
3.Press and hold the POWER button, and then tap Restart.

Using the above procedure the DHD does NOT go into safe-mode. have you tested this ?
thats becuase we dont have a menu button.
Yes we have. Take a look at the button that says "Menu" on your device.
That is not actually a button its touch sensitive and that doesn't work when your booting

How to Start Your Desire in Safe-Mode
If you find your phone unusable because of an application you installed then don’t fret. There’s an easy way to start your phone in “Safe-Mode” which disables all 3rd party apps so that you can remove any problematic applications and continue using your phone as normal
Instructions
Turn off your phone
Hold down the Menu button
Turn the phone on (keep Menu held) and wait for the phone to start up
When your phone’s started you’ll see it saying Safe Mode in the bottom left. You can let go of Menu now!

Moving to General
Safe mode appeared on the bottom left corner of the launcher screen when enabled. I thought that I had turn off the unit but when turning it on the next day, found that it was in Safe Mode.
How do you get to Safe Mode?
What is different about Safe Mode than the normal Start?
I noticed that icons were random along with widgets that were never selected.
IIRC, if you hold down the power button while at the shut down menu it'll do that.
Safe mode, like on a PC, just loads needed system apps. No 3rd party stuff.
Used for diagnostics.
Just reboot and it should be gone.

[Info] Guide to entering safe mode, bootloader, stock recovery
Guys my phome entering to safe mode automatically sometimes. .and safemode is written on screen left bottom corner and at this mode my apps are not visible in drawer.Is this normal or what's causing this ptoblem?
switch off your phone and just remove the battery for 10 sec and reinsert it and start you phone....safe mode will go...most of the time it happens because you have entered safe mode by mistake or because of sofware related issue....most probabaly it wont happen again....
I am facing a problem which i have never faced before.
My phone is a Sprint HTC M8 Stock Marshmellow and working fine. The problem is when i want to enter fast boot mode, After turning off the phone when i try to press the power button + volume down, the phone vibrates and then nothing happens except a black screen. I can understand the phone is in fastboot mode as its detected by the All in One Tool. But no further movement after that. I have to press Power + volume Up to reboot the phone again to enter my os.
In simple words i cant access the bootloader menu, all i see is a black screen. Can anyone help please?
