So I noticed that following function is available on hox after jelly bean noticed that this feature is not on my note 2 though
If your phone is ever acting extra whacky and you can’t seem to figure out the cause, you may want to try booting into Safe Mode for a bit, an option included in Jelly Bean (Android 4.1). When entering Safe Mode, your phone disables all third party apps, leaving only system apps behind.
To enter safe mode, simply press and hold your Power button as you normally would to turn your phone off. When you are prompted to either Power off, toggle Airplane mode, or restart, long press on “Power off” until you see the Safe Mode menu appear. Press “OK” and boot into Safe Mode.
Safe mode has always been on the HOX, it's not a Jelly Bean feature, however being able to boot to safe mode from the power menu is new.
Safe mode had been around since the G1. The addition of it to the power menu is nice....but it isn't new.
Hickory, Dickory, Dox...Snowflake approves of my HOX....
I can not put it in safe mode is because I'm on Android Revolution HD 16.0??

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!

So I was flashing ICS and thought I had a bootloop with the XPERIA logo displayed when I pressed the power & VOL down to hard reset the screen blinked & a viberate then the phone entered SAFE MODE. I did a search and found info for other phones (even my old X10 had it and I didnt know) but no info on the ion.
EDIT: I just finished the setup in safe mode and then rebooted. Everything was fine after reboot.
EDIT2: I was pressing wrong buttons
During boot power&vol down gets safe mode. Power& vol up is hard reset.
All I have found out is, Safe mode only loads system apps. No user apps are loaded
To enter safe mode press and hold power & volume down buttons during boot.

Almost all Android devices have a safe mode. It's just a matter of how to access it. Well...Stock OS anyways. Not 100% sure on Custom roms. On my old HTC Inspire, you accessed it by holding the back button until full boot was complete. Then upon unlocking the screen, it said "safe mode" down in the bottom right corner.
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 !
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
So I have spent hours now looking around for an answer the phone is find my phone locked and I can't remember my pin code. I have done all the tricks with the combination keys.
The usual way to get into Recovery mode is Hold V+ and power until the phone vibrates and you should be in recovery mode release the keys. (Doesn't work)
Iv read that you should have the USB cable connected from pc/laptop while you do the same holding V+ and power button... (doesn't work ether)
and download mode should be very easy just hold V+ and V- plug USB cable from pc/laptop and you should get into download mode by pressing V+. Will only show charging Icon and that's its.
So is it possible to turn off this modes from the manufactor? Or is this a completely new security future? How can you use odin? How can you wipe the cache? If you end up having some issues.
Im going nuts....
No way to get into fastboot ether. So if anyone know why this is happening to me or got any solution I would appreciate it.
Plug in your cable with the phone turned on. Hit Power Off and wait for the phone to fully turn off. The charging logo will show up so let the animation do its thing. After maybe 20 seconds, press Volume up + Power and keep them pressed until you boot to recovery. If the command wasn't recorded in the first place and the phone is still off after more than 15 seconds, let go of the buttons and press them again and keep them pressed until it boots in Recovery

It will not work. How the hell should I be able to cle3ar cache if I got a boot loop ??? They can't just turn off recovery mode mand download mode??? This is so strange even paying for a frp reset but not even he does know what wrong??? Can they turn off fastboot, recovery mode and Download mode on this new phones? Is it because its locked with find my phone? 1 week researching now. It will only vibrate. And my PC cant find my phone anymore worked fine 30min ago nothing has changed... So annoying never seen this happened before every combination with buttons to get in any mode doesn't work only vibrates and go to pin lock screen...
Take it to a Samsung Experience center at best buy. Or send it into Samsung for repair.
download mode:
Turn off phone
plug cable in pc but not in phone
pres "volume +" and "volume -" in the same time
plug cable in phone
recovery mode:
plug cable in pc and s22
power off
press "volume +" and power
wait until see recovery mode

thats a solid advice assuming his bootloader/recovery/download mode is fully functional then this advice works, in his case and in mine too it does not work and trying to get to the root of the problem is the key. In my case recovery mode gives error on screen so it may have to do with the way firmware is installed as these modes are not accessible.
have you sorted it out? Its nearly a year onwards =)

This, at index 2:48 minutes.
It needs to be connected to the PC. Another screwy quirk Samsung added recently. Your button timing/sequence matters as well.
On my N10+'s you can go into recovery directly with a restart if you do it right. Otherwise they will puke on you.
