1) power off your phone
2) turn it on normally by pressing the power button
3) as the samsung boot logo appears, when the samsung logo starts to blink keep pressed the options button which is to the left of home screen till you feel a large vibration
4)after the vibration allow the phone to start...it will boot into the safe mode......worked for me on STOCK DDLC2

safe mode works
I can reproduce it here !
it works ! I accidentally was in it before some time.
works on LC1 as well.
"as the samsung boot logo appears, when the samsung logo starts to blink "
what you mean is, at the moment the first still logo changes into the animated boot graphics (after approx. 20 sec).
i.e. the word "YOUNG" is no longer visible
but no earlier, dudes !

Safe mode is for force close loops. In safe mode, the Android system only loads necessary applications. Third party apps like widgets are not loaded on boot up. You only need Safe Mode when your phone goes haywire and does a force close spree.

u mean it interrupts boot loops
I guess what ure saying is, when u feel unsafe due to terrorism , there is no point in bootin ya fone in safe mode

What's the use of this safe mode ?

Worked first time for me. I pressed the Menu button as soon as the 'Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Young' bootscreen disappeared and held it pressed until you feel the first small vibration. After that small vibrate I got the big vabration you mentioned. No apps at all can be loaded, even if you try to load them from the Play Store. Only apps installed to the system load...

Random restart

I keep getting a random restart on my one X.
Every other day more of less
Does anyone else get this?
Would JB resolve this?
Or should I bite the bullet and get a nexus 4?

Try a factory reset.
Or try changing to some other rom.

Make sure its not from holding the power button, like in your pocket when you sit down or something like a case pressing the button.
This used to happen to me anyway, it's a feature!

Yeah, it happened to me few times. Power button sucks.

My oneX until today 2 error msg and my phone restart.. when this happen,my bottom button (back,home,recent apps) blinking and my phone restart..anyone can help. Me?

If you're on stock Rom and factory reset doesnt helps, it is a hardware issue. Send it to service center

Same, the home+back+recent app buttons start blinking but it most of the time doesn't go off, just in a deep sleep mode.
You should not keep the home button pressed, but press it a few times [3,4 times]
I believe this will be fixed in 1.3.3 , but I am not sure.

I have talked to HTC about my HOX restarting and they suggested that before a factory reset I should try using the phone in safe mode. It's been turned on in safe mode for quite some time now... and guess what?! No other resets so far...
In conclusion: it's a stinking play store app / app update / app bg service.
Will use it like so for a couple a days and get back with feedback, or until JB rolls out globally in a few days.

Hello again,
1st of all... to get into safe mode just hold the power button pressed until your phone restarts... after it powers on wait it passes the first image on the boot screen, once it reaches the animated HTC logo (the one with the sound) press and hold the volume down until the phone completely starts. In the bottom left corner you will see SAFE MODE.
In my case it was the Viber app that screwed my phone. After complete uninstall my HOX runs just fine... and a bit faster...
Even got better scores in benchmarks...

have you checked for 3rd part apps running? check activity on your hox, to me happened with a funny "free" game, it hold in memory and waste all resource till reboot due insufficient resources (with an error before)

i have to send my phone to repair, it keeps shutting down and when i turn it on sometimes i see a '!' on the battery indicator, and the battery stats graph looks like this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18387650/2012-10-03_21-46-06.png
it stopped doing this after a while, but today, after 1 or 2 months it started doing like that again. it started after i removed the tpu case to clean it, probably there something improperly connected, and when i apply i little pressure to clean it , it give some problem. it shutted down 4 or 5 times and now looks ok again... i just hope it won't take too long for repair.

"Safe Mode"

Okay, so I have a strange dilemma. I am currently using GB08 Stock Rooted of the ROM. Last week I was using my phone when suddenly my phone rebooted by itself, at first I thought it was an app crashing or something normal which happens to all of us so I restarted it. Strangely, on the bottom left hand corner displayed a text box saying "SAFE MODE", to my knowledge I had this on my original Epic 4G and the solution for me was to restart the device, but it didn't go away. In addition all my apps were gone and the volume down button seemed to malfunction when turning the music down. As a solution I tried to ODIN GB08 (strangely the volume down button works when trying to get to Download Mode), but the volume up button doesn't work even though it does work when I boot it into "Safe Mode". I tried to use Mobile Odin but it the device won't allow me to use apps other than those that were pre-installed into the device. I tried taking out the battery and waiting up to 10 minutes and restarted it but no luck, so I want to know if any of you guys know how to fix this?
:crying:

I had this issue happen about a month ago. The volume down key is sticking.
You need to take the phone apart and clean it up. Repeatedly press the volume rockers until you feel that it is back to normal. Then put the phone back together and put the battery back in.

Here's a screenshot showing what happens when the volume down key is held while booting up.

I have done what you have said but the volume rockers seem fine and it still boots ups into safe mode.

Do you use a case that is a tight fit around the hardware keys?

Seems fine and is working properly are two completely different things. Sounds like a bad rocker fosho. Mattix nailed it I'll bet money.

I'm telling you that's what's happening.
If you hold power from a cold boot it enters download mode? And if you try to boot into recovery it just boots normally in safe mode?

Well the volume rockers seem to fix itself, but went back to safe mode, I guess it is broken. I guess I'll have to get a new phone, I'll wait for the GS4 to come out since my contract is over in mid April. But thank you for helping me!

A work-around for phones stuck in safe mode due to water damage etc but that seem to work fine otherwise is to convert the (trusted) apps you need from data apps to system apps (move the .apk from /data/app to /system/app after installing via the Play Store). You may need to use Mounts2Sd or something similar with an sd-ext partition if you don't have enough space in your internal /system partition for all the apps you need. (With Mounts2Sd, placing the apps in /data/app-system on the sd-ext partition will fool the phone into thinking the apps are in /system/app and you can then use them in safe mode). If anybody is aware of a simpler script that does the same thing, please lmk.

[Q] Phone rapidly toggling between media volume and headset

Hi, randomly this morning my phone now flicks between media volume and headset literally every half a second rendering the phone pretty much useless for calls etc. I'm running cyanogenmod 7.2.0-ace.
I didn't do anything different with my phone this morning and haven't had headphones even plugged in for a few weeks.

I've tried:
- apps like headset blocker etc.
- plugging in/removing the headphones repeatedly
- rebooting the phone
- rebooting the phone with headphones in
- wiggling the jack to straighten out the wires (can't see them though, haven't got a torch)
- turning volume on and off on settings
- calling someone, playing music then calling someone, all variations of this
- restored to sometime last year, still no change
- updated to a nightly cyanogenmod rom, no change
Any other ideas please?

Go to cwm
Do make a backup
Select wipe cache partition
Select wipe delvik cache
Reboot
This should fix ur problem:thumbup:

Thanks amit, but it didn't work unfortunately. Think I may take it to a repair shop, but something tells me this is a write off.

You could try cleaning out your headphone jack.

Try restore factory settings

Forgive my ignorance, I've created a backup using cmw.
Now what do I do? Do I do a factory reset? If so, then how do I get my backup back? Do I need to root it in the same way I first rooted my phone, from scratch?

Transfer ur backup to computer
Then do restore
No you dont

Wait, if he has a software problem, factory resetting and then reloading his backup just gets him back to the exact same position he started with. If it truly is a software problem, factory reset and flash a brand new ROM (say Android Revolution HD, which is extremely stable and stock-like). If the problem still exists, it's not software (which the fact pattern seems to imply that it's not). I'm betting that something is triggering the headphone jack, so that's a hardware problem. Whether it's something internal or external is harder to say.

Also Try flashing a custom rom
This may help u:thumbup:

Yes ranger, still no luck. I tried opening it up etc but my mini screwdrivers aren't quite the right size plus i'm not comfortable opening it up.
Thinking of just getting the samsung s4. I can get the £35 pm offer for £25 through my work.

Hummm my best guess is a damaged headphone socket at this stage so unless your skilled with surface mount electronic components and have a decent soldering iron its probably best to take it to a repair center or as you say a new mobo. I got my s4 for a real good deal :thumbup:

[Q] Can i use Nano USB WiFi Adapter wi Xperia S ?

Hi i think this question has been asked several times. But i have some more queries.
My first question is that can i use an external Wifi Adapter with my Xperia S. Specifically "Leoxsys LEO-AP150N Mini USB Wireless Adapter". If yes then how is it possible. Do i need to install any App to make it Easy.
Also the reason why i want to use external WiFi is because inbuilt Wifi of my xperia S is not working. The toggle to turn On/Off the Wifi is been disabled. what could possibly the problem ? I tried flashing the device with ICS, JB XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.0.211_KernelOnly.ftf and JB 6.2.B.1.96 but no magic to get it working.

if you tap directly on WiFi (the actual word, not the greyed out slider), does it also take you to a screen where it's stuck on "turning on WiFi" or something like that, and everything else (like SCAN and the list of networds) is greyed out? and i just won't connect, like, ever?
if so, you're not alone, mate, because i have the same issue and would like to know what causes that.

your wifi modules could be broken
id like the folowing details
your rom
your kernel
is your bootloader unlocked
