Stuck in Safe Mode

I'm not referring about bootloader or recovery, but Safe Mode. The phone boots up, but the word Safe Mode is on the bottom left corner of my screen. My downloaded apps are missing(part of safe mode), but the pre-installed apps are still accessible.
I've tried the obvious things such as turning off and back on and pulling the battery but I can't get it to just boot normally.
I don't want to have to wipe it unless I have to, especially since I'm unsure that will fix it.
Has anyone had this problem or have any suggestions as to how to get it out of Safe Mode?
Thanks

I had an Inc come into my store a few months back that was stuck in safe mode. I tried everything I could think of that was standard policy. We called tech support and they just did a warranty replacement.

Not the answer I was hoping for....ugh.
Any other suggestions?

Try holding menu as it boots.

No luck there either

One last thing. Power off the phone. Hold vol down and power until you see Hboot. Select factory reset. You use the vol up and down to scroll and power to select. Then reboot.

Not sure if it would help you...

Sebahz87, already tried that as it was suggested earlier by gaby04. No luck.

Have you tried rooting it? Although I am not sure what all safe mode disables. If you can root then try flashing another rom.
Although I would still file a warranty claim unless you don't have a warranty. I can't think of anything else to help.

Ended up having to get a replacement under warranty. Looks like it was a hardware issue. My vol+up button didn't work and my vol+down button was stuck.

stock rom (icl53f), without root.
i bought the phone 3 days ago and it was ok till the last night :-/ maybe a conflict with some apps?
Sorry for posting in Galaxy Nexus Themes and Apps :/

It probably is an app that's doing it as a stock unrooted phone shouldn't have issues like that.

It may not fix it but at the vet least you should boot into recovery and:
Wipe dalvik
Fix permissions
...and then reboot. If it is still there after that then you know you have bigger problems.

This happens to me on aokp sometimes as well....I'll unlock the phone and I'll get a black screen with just my recent apps button showing and the only way I can do anything is pressing the apps button and going to a recent app and then the rest of my buttons will show up....I'll take a screenshot next time and post it here

[Q] Disable T-mobile kit kat update notification?

I rooted my phone via the RDLV method to keep the knox counter at 0. Since T-mobile started rolling out the kit kat update, I've been having to postpone it daily. Is there a way to keep it from popping up or staying in the notification?
Even better would be a method to root kit kat without tripping the knox counter.

The cool thing would be to google your question and you would have found your answers without posting. No there is no way to stop the notifications because nobody has had the time to sit down and write the cancellation script. Updating without tripping knox has been discussed in numerous threads in MORE THAN detail. There is a method, but it is not recommended by me and others. The method is for very advanced people that are technological sound and know Android very very well. As you stand the chance to permanently brick your phone.

I turned off the software update. I have not had any pop-up notifications at all....

Whoa bro that method is for advanced users only and you might brick your phone, also there isn't any other way to do it. If you googled you would of found an answer that an answer does not exist.
But seriously all sarcasm aside thanks for sharing your easy find.

Lol. I stand corrected. that was tried before and was said that after a reset the phone would go back to asking for updates again. I'll admit i'm wrong. Hopefully this stops it permanently .

I thought it was too late for me. I turned off software update, in fact there were 2 of them, one of them(newer) can't be turned off. The notification did not go away after turning off the older version, rebooting doesn't seem to help either. Went into Titanium Backup (paid) and force closed the newer software update, and the notification went away! Then I froze the app. The freeze survived a reboot. Woohoo! The phone did reboot itself after the first reboot after the freeze however, not sure what happened there. It's been ok since.
Hopefully this thread helps someone else in my situation.

Sd card problem

You're file explorer should have root setting which include R/O or R/W, which means the phone needs root, something that isn't available right know. You can always transfer your files from your phone to you're PC then to your SD card or vice versa.

Ok thanks

I believe this is how Kit Kat works. It's gimped the way android used Sd cards. Now that they're almost useless, HTC brings it back. ><

They are only useless if you're clueless and not rooted.. To get it to work properly in kit Kat all you have to do is add a couple lines to the permissions.xml file. I got it working perfectly on my gpe ultra z. Had the same issues reported and all I had to do with a add two lines to the xml file and it worked perfectly. Sure there are a lot of people that don't root.. But this is xda

Yep. A lot don't root, and some may or may not get the choice. Verizon has blocked HTC unlock. I'm sure something will pop up, but who knows.
So I'll rephrase. Almost useless except to those few who are willing and able to root. Which sadly, is becoming less and less as time goes by.. I miss how it used to be before all this carrier/OEM lockdown jank

This issue is rediculous. I can write and reorder and copy and paste files and folders all over the M8 internal memory, but not on an SD card.
How does this make anything more secure and how does it do anything but completely screw up android and turn it into ios and it's walled garden?
I seriously don't want to root this phone, but feel I may have to in order to use it how it should already be able to be used.
It's no wonder Deezer went mental and screwed my phone up for half a day when I tried to cache all my music to SD card!

That's so weird is not on mines idk why or how to get it back tried looking for an ADB command and no luck either.

Did you disable som kind of app via ADB or via the normal settings and than apps? Maybe you disabled it by accident?

you probably messed something up then when disabling. Butterfly effect. Factory reset and it will be back.

Yeah I probably did but am not going to factory reset it just to bring it back. Am sure their an ADB command i was just trying to see if i could bring it back. But if resetting is the only way i can live without it. Tbh today is when i notice i didn't have it and have had the phone since release.

Do you have a list of which apps you disabled via adb ? if you did , then you can reactivate them back one by one.
If it's showing up here, you can probably enable it back
