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.

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
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 !
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??
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've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4" which no longer has a working display. I want to back up as much of it as I can, so I've set to work on installing TWRP. I already installed and used it successfully on an identical device (but with the screen working!), but this time round, it just doesn't work.
TL;DR: My questions: Is there any way to add TWRP to my device without using Download Mode? Is there any way to check if TWRP is installed? And is there any way to, once I'm in Download Mode, determine that without exiting and without a display?
My process: I've tried getting into Download Mode both by shutting down, then holding the power, volume down, and home buttons for ten or so seconds, then following up with a volume up press to confirm that I want to use download mode; and by just typing reboot download in adb. I've then used Odin to flash it with TWRP. Odin shows a PASS, so I wait for the tablet to reboot into the normal mode.
Once there, I've tried to get into TWRP by both shutting down, then holding the power, volume up, and home buttons for ten or so seconds; and by just typing reboot recovery in adb. But, no matter how long I wait, my device never reconnects to my computer, and adb shell can't connect to it.
When I've rebooted into recovery, I seem to be able to press the power button once, and it reboots into the normal boot mode; this indicates to me that it's in the normal Recovery Mode, since this isn't default TWRP behaviour. That would mean that TWRP hasn't been successfully installed.
I came across this thread, which suggested that using Odin to flash a device while it's not in Download Mode would likely have no effect. My figuring, then, is that I haven't successfully booted into Download Mode ever.
Interestingly, when I ran Odin during what I thought was Download Mode, it did seem to restart the device when it was done (at least, after a bit I could connect to it normally with adb).
My question, then: Is there any way to add TWRP to my device without using Download Mode? Is there any way to check if TWRP is installed? And is there any way to, once I'm in Download Mode, determine that without exiting and without a display?
I know it's a bit of a tricky one, so :good: if you can think of an answer to any of those.
I wonder if the hdmi adaptors would work in recover, they are quite cheap to buy.
Your issue is likely that you're not manually booting to recovery IMMEDIATELY after flashing with Odin. TWRP is obviously successfully flashing.
You need to disable auto-reboot then when odin states PASS, force manual reboot by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN for a few seconds then change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
This is all gonna come down to timing, so you may have to do it several times until you get it.
In any case if all you need to back up is your stuff stored on internal storage, you don't need twrp for that. Just connect the tablet to the PC and use MTP to backup what you need.
