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...

Does anyone else get this?
Would JB resolve this?

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.

Volume wake?

Does anyone know of a mod (besides gravity screen on) to turn on the screen without the power button? My power button suddenly stopped working and I've seen that option in settings, but can't seem to find it on sensewiz. Thanks again

I believe you can remap your keys in generic.kl to wake with volume
check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203059
a very basic guide on how to get the .kl file then just edit as you wish

I have been looking for a solution for this for quite some time. I am using gravity off right now. I just tried to change this file many times. I commented out Key 116 and put the POWER in key 115, the vol up, but that didnt work. I then tried to comment out all the POWER buttons in the file and replaced VOL up with POWER button - that didnt work. Then i reverted back and added the WAKE to the ends of VOL up and down, and that didnt work either. After all changes, i reverted the permission to the correct values.
Any one get this to work? Stock rooted GB27.

I just took my phone into the sprint store, and they are ordering a new one. But its on backorder My upgrade is up in December and I'll probably go with the note 3, so I'll just give the new phone to my brother, since he has the EVO LTE but the screen is basically unreadable because he shattered the screen

Well I don't know the magic words I guess to tell the sprint store employee because about 3 months or more ago I told them I had this issue and asked for a replacement. The tech said he never heard of this 'common' problem.

The magic words are "I want to speak to your supervisor."
Hardware failure is what they are there for. (Unless, apparently, your usb port is jacked, in which case they tell you its something you did, and it'll be $500 to fix...)

[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

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:

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] Help me disable the menu & search button.

My D710 is driving me insane with the phantom menu button. Its so bad my search button has been going off at random too. This of course only happens when I am sending text messages, or receiving them. Which makes it extremely frustrating.
I know there's ways to disable these buttons. I do not have my phone rooted, and would rather not root it right now. I am still fighting sprint to replacing it with a different brand, but they insist on repairing it over and over again. If I root it, that will just give them ammo to deny my claims.
Is there anyway to disable the buttons on a bone stock GB27 setup?? Thanks in advance.

If you hold down the menu key. Search will pop up. So your search key is fine. The menu phantom press triggers a "hold" on the menu key at time thus, search pops up. There's a thread someone in the general forum that "fixes" the problem with the menu key.
EDIT: Unfortunately, the file to remap the keys are at system level, so rooting is the only way. You can temporary root, however.

No, if i hold my menu button down... nothing happens. But if i hit the search bar, search pops up.
I am having phantom menu & search buttons. My phone has a mind of its own whenever data is being transfered over the network. My daughters D710 does not act nearly as bad as mine does. Her's does phantom menu every now and then, but mine phantom menu & phantom searches EVERY SINGLE TIME. Unless i am at the sprint store of course.
Anyhow, I understand now that its not possible without root. When you say temporary root, does that mean just root, do the mod & then return to stock? Or is there some other method of temporary rooting?

Hmm.. On stock the way the keys are for me are the way I explained.
Anyway. When finishing running the exploit, you reboot, once the phone is booted, you'll have root. Once you finish editing the file, reboot. Once booted, root is gone. There's an app called frama-root for our device that let's you temp root if I remember correctly.

Here is a tutorial on how to disable your key so you can use pie control and LMT. @graydiggy put it together and it works great, but you'll have to send it back to Sprint and have them replace the pba(mother board) to fix the issue completely. Be sure to thank him if it works for you! Happy Thanksgiving

I sent my phone to Samsung twice for warranty repairs. They replaced the screen first, then when I sent it back they replaced the PBA. The problem never got any better, so I took it to my local sprint store where the tech was well aware of the issue. He replaced my screen (again) and it seems like the problem has gotten worse.
I will take a look at the tutorial you linked and see if i can make this work. Does that tutorial require me to root my device?

Yup, you'll need to be rooted.

Great, so I followed the guide and Disabled the softkeys, then enabled the Navbar. Seems like that took care of it, so far I have had 0 phantom keypresses.
I hate giving up screen space for the navbar. Especially when only the Menu button is at fault. Is there anyway to disable JUST the menu button, and leave the Home, back & search keys?
Thanks again for the help guys.

This method is for the power button, but I'm sure you could remap the menu button too-http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?t=796092
