Yes if you boot and hold the menu button, it will go into safe mode. This means that it will disable all third party apps and services. You'll notice your installed widgets not working. It is annoying because when you reboot again, you'll have to take off your widgets and then replace them again. This mode is in case you get a rouge app, so you can uninstall before it starts. Kind of like window's safe mode.
basically what he said ^^
I've gotten into safe mode once by accident, without intending to do so.
I hear you hold the menu capactive button down while turning on your phone, but I can't reproduce safe mode. I'm running rooted stock 2.2 kb5.
How do you get into safe mode? Holding the menu button down and turning on isn't doing it for me.

I've heard that froyo has it built in, they've been talking about it being buggy in the i9000 forums.
your supposed to hold the back button and tap the home button but I havent got it to work (might not be in my rom) some i9000 users say it gets stuck on, taking a ton of snapshots of the homescreen lol
guess it doesnt work on obsidian 4.2 rom then because i get nothing =/
I did something with the buttons and took one but havent been able to do it again

It happens when the phone lags like crazy and then you press those buttons. Don't ask me why, but this has happened twice with me.
Edit!
I fixed the problem. I was going over my apps and their settings and I noticed that one of them,battery indicator pro had a lockscreen off feature which was flipped on. Totally weird! But I have my lockscreen back! Woot!
End edit :-D
Out of curiosity, has anyone else experienced this?
My 3VO's Lockscreen has disappeared. Legit.
When I press the screen lock button it simply doesn't. It turns the screen off, but it doesn't actually lock the phone.. as a consequence now the phone will do random things in my pocket and its annoying as hell.
I've tried a number of things to restore it just short of a full reset. That I'm trying to avoid because I use this phone as my main one and to restore all my setting would suck major ass.
Please someone shed some light on a solution for me?

Have you rooted and frozen some of the HTC APK's? (There's one for the lockscreen, I'd imagine) That's what it sounds like. If not, I'm not exactly sure what you can do aside from a factory reset...

I haven't even touched the whole perma-temp root thing. When we get permanent root then I'll crack this Guy open. But till then.. I'm not interested in it. Besides I actually like the sense 3.0 locksceen.
I seriously hope I dont have to factory wipe this thing. If i tell the phone to use apassword or pattern or pin code to lock up then the screen comes back .. but that's a pain in the ass to always unlock the stupid thing

Hi guys,
I finally installed Windows 7 bootcamp on my Mac, and went away on flashing kernel to XWKDD_insecure.tar, and rooting the S2 with S2 Root app. Everything went smoothly, and I now have TB Pro with a couple of apps frozen.
However, one very noticeable change after I flash and rooted was that my Applications button is very hard to activate. I thought I had imagined it, but when I unlock via Widgetlocker slider, and tap the Applications icon on the bottom right, nothing happens with the normal pressure I am used it. To activate it, I must push down with a little force for a second or two, let go, and it will go to the application folder. Also, I have also notice that when I wake the phone, the unlock widgetlocker slider is slightly unresponsive at first, I must also apply more force, hold it for a second, and slide for the slider to work. Before I rooted (6 hours ago), I can lightly tap the application icon, or light slide the unlock slider, and it would work.
Another weird thing is also buttons on the screen works fine thus far.
Anyone have this rather weird problem? I am slightly regretting rooting the phone, because the applications icon just wouldn't budge despite multiple taps... I've tried battery pulls, etc, but the problem persists, especially right after I unlock the phone.
Any input is much appreciated!
Thank you
Did you found a solution? I have the same problem, but I don't know if it's because rooting? This is really annoying.
Same here after CF-root.
and let me add that the return touch key (below the applications icon) isn't so responsive as before rooting!
I thought I was just imagining but I am "glad" you guys having the same problem.
Looking forward for a solution.
Maybe asking Chainfire ?
Well I just installed a stock rom, same thing.
My 'back' button is very un-responsive as well. it's like I really have to hit the spot for it to react.
Am having the same issue with the back key and i am still stock non rooted

This is certainly not the first time I've heard about such complaints, infact a few friends also had this issue as well they had their phones replaced.
I am not sure how this happened, but after a recent reinstall of Bionix 1.3.1 (with Bullet kernel) the ability to long press on home to get to the task manager has disappeared. I thought it might be the ADW launcher, so I switched back to stock. No change.
Any ideas how this happened and/or how to fix it?
Never had this happen. I'd just say to reflash bionix. should be fine to just flash on top w/o wiping data. (may have to disable ext4 though)
Turns out it was the Bullet kernel. POS kernel, IMO. Flashed back to Overstock and it took care of the problem.

Bali softbricked my phone. So, would rather not try that again.
I thought that Overstock would have turned on Voodoo when I flashed it, but it didn't. When I enabled it through CWM, the problem returned.
Why don't you give this a try? You can remap every button on your phone with both short and long press options. May just need to reset your home-long press option.

Well, I was looking at the app and accidently hit "apply" and it hotbooted. When it came back up.... the home button is completely disabled. Its worse than before.
So, now what?
Okay, nevermind.... I got it back to where it gets me back to home at least.... but still no long press option as far as I can see.
It used to have the short and long press options. I pulled up the help and it said LauncherKey will now do this for you. Search Market for that. If not there then maybe just Google the apk download.

so far so good on ShoStock 3.0.5
I got force closed when setting a calendar entry. It set the entry but force closed in the process so it "sorta worked"
Alarm, open app, navi, texting, posting to facebook, asking questions, etc....works great on S2.
I got a massive scare though when flashing it. I hit reboot the screen dimmed and then went all funky colors. I had to rip the battery. It booted back up fine into CWM, rebooted again, and phone is working fine. I'm going to chuck that up as random.
I get s-voice to work, and well, but I don't see it listed in my app drawer. The only way to bring it up is to long press the search button. Any ideas?
Just switched roms today to Mystic v4.

Big Problem!
I'm running Mystic's Glory v4.0. I just dl'ed this Svoice zip to my phone. The ROM Manager asked if I wanted to install and I followed the prompts. The opening Samsung Galaxy SII screen comes on, then it goes black and nothing happens.
I popped out the battery a few times and tried to reboot, but same thing happens: Intro screen then black.
Any ideas?

Try wiping cache and dalvik with a fix permissions for good measure. If that doesn't work sounds like a reflash of from is in order.
PS. Try flashing it manually in recovery instead of using rom manager. I've seen it do all kinds of weird ****.

Thanks for the fast reply!
Can you give me a little more detailed instructions. How do I get into my CWM to wipe cache and dalvik with a dead phone? Or how do I reflash with a dead phone?
In fact, how do I get into recovery? I hold down the Vol Down button and the power button and instead of taking me to recovery, it goes to:
Warning!!
A custom OS can cause critical problems...
I can then either Vol Up to Continue or Vol Down to Restart phone. If I press Vol Down, say problem. Vol UP takes me to another screen that says:
Odin Mod, Downloading...Do not turn off target!!
Please advise.
Thanks!!!

Sounds like you went to download mode...
To get to CWM recovery, hold vol up, vol down, and power until CWM recovery menu shows up. You can do this on a phone that is on or off.
