Update: after trying to exit SAFE mode, my phone was still in airplane mode and two of my 3rd party widgets were still missing on my home screen. Apparently my phone was out of SAFE mode but had not restored things to the way they were before I entered SAFE mode (ie, widgets still missing and no mobile data) ... I was able to turn off airplane mode and turn on mobile data. One widget I got back on the home screen the other I haven't tried yet. So I think this can be closed.
Power off then back on is supposed to do the trick - nope
The following does not work:
Turn off your Pixel 4 phone.
Once your device is off, press and hold the Power button.
When you see a logo on the screen, let go of the Power button.
Quickly press and hold the Volume Down button after letting go of the Power button.
I checked and my volume down button is working just fine
I cleared cache and uninstalled many apps - didn't help (can't figure out how to display any that may have gotten in there in the past 2 days)
Malware Bytes (already installed on the phone) did not find any problems
This is a problem because SAFE mode won't let my relatively few apps run.
Thanks for any suggestions.
PS: I *DID* turn on SAFE mode while trying to get a bug in the CAMERA to work again. That problem was that once I took a photo the EDIT button would not work - it just went back into camera mode
You should ask this in the pixel 4xl section. This is the pixel 4 (flame) section.

When I lockmy phone, either with slide2unlock or the actual lock button on today screen, it locks all buttons except the power button. Then I am working listening to mp3's and I accidentally hit power button, it turns off screen, not phone entirely. When it does that that kills my music, then I have to hit power real quick to turn back on, anyway to disable power button? Also even with keys locked, it still wil go in airplane mode if end buttone held down, but this only happens when using slide2unlock, got any ideas?
So to recaqp, want to disable power button.
Want airplanemode to not happen while using slide2unlock, thanks for any help
for plane mode you can use this reg key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/PhoneExtendFunction/CDMA/
set FlightModeSwitchByPnHEndKey to 0
it will prevent the phone from entering plane mode by holding the end call button
cant help with the power button, on mine sometimes it will go to sleep and keep playing, other times it will stop, i havent noticed a pattern yet
wow, thanks. been looking for this forever. it appears a soft reset is required after the reistry change, at least for me.
This phone just broke after 3 months of use. Since I brought it off of amazon as unlocked, I do not have warranty on phone. The phone was not dropped nor water-damaged. It was sitting on the table and suddenly experiencing problems with lag. I proceed to turn off and try to restart phone.
The phone does not boot when I press the power button.
What I've tried:
case 1: I removed SD card, removed battery and removed USB cord. Press power button for 10 seconds. Put back battery and press power button
result 1: LED light on. The phone vibrates 5 times. Remains in black screen
case 2: I called my phone number from another phone
result 2: Straight to voice mail. This indicates the software did not even boot up. Hardware display is not the issue here. Most likely a Software issue.
case 3: I hold volume down key and power key to attempt hard-reset
result 3: LED light on. The phone vibrates 5 times. Remains in black screen
Since I routinely backed up my phone data. Last time I've checked (~4 days ago), the SD card was not nearly full. It was approximately 25% used space.
PLEASE HELP!! YOUR HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED!
Are you able to access any of the service menu's such as bootloader or fastboot mode?
If your not aware what those are, there are many references in this forum for you to find information.

No. The screen was all black. But fortunately, the phone was able to turn on after some trial and error.
You remove the battery and USB cord. Then while pressing (and holding) the home button key, you put back in the battery and press the power button. To hard reset, you must press volume down key, home key, and power key at the same time.
Glad that you got your phone working!
Mine continues to remain dead
I had this problem a few months back at first i too thought the phone was dead - but it did make boot vibration noise - but the screen would always remain "black" but after some time and after going into a very dark room i was able to see that the screen was not black, but that the backlight went out on it -- after having my screen replaced the phone now works fine - think i was using cm7 at the time.. hope this might help
Thanks for this tip! I'll check on the phone I had as well. I got to get it back from my buddy.
Hey guys! I have avast! anti-theft and virus installed on my s7. I was on a road trip and out of no where my phone started alarming saying that it was lost or stolen. The avast! anti-theft lock screen is displaying and my avast! pin won't unlock it. I tried disabling it from the avast! website but it still wouldn't work. I put in a ticket with avast! but since I didn't have the pro version they cannot help. So pretty much I'm locked out of the phone. I can get to the regular lock screen and phone dialer, but if I try to go to notifications and then click on settings it won't allow it. Is there any way I can reset with Odin? I can't power it off so I don't know how to get to safe-mode or anything like that. ANY help will be appreciated. :angel:

power + volume down + home . hold them for about ten seconds......be careful at next menu you see....don't format your phone
you will see safe mode listed
If safe mode is able to disable Avast! anyway, possible it won't being a security software but worth a try:
Turn on and use safe mode
Safe mode allows you to turn on the device with third-party apps disabled. Then you can easily unistall apps that may be causing a conflict or software problem.
Turn the device off.
Press and hold the Power key past the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge screen.
When "SAMSUNG" appears on the screen, release the Power key.
Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.
Uninstall apps that are causing a problem.
Turn off safe mode
Press and hold the Power key.
Tap Restart.

Otherwise boot into recovery (Volume Up & Home & Power) and factory reset (Will wipe everything from the phone)
Hi i have a Fossil q explorist 3 and im having trouble getting into recovery mode.
I uninstalled an app on the watch and its now in a weird bootloop/ unusable state it flashes the watch face and i can access google assistant but nothing else apart from the power off and reboot menu.
Because of this the battery depleted pretty quickly and i couldnt access the recovery menu, I managed to get to the menu once but hit the wrong button and it exited rather than let me reset it
Can anyone help me get the watch into recovery mode I have tried
1. Powering off the watch via the menu and trying the button combinations of top button and power ,bottom button and power , letting go of the power button and holding either button and repeatedly pressing the buttons after the vibration when it turns on.
2. I have also tried tapping on the fossil logo on the screen after it turns on and sliding from the top left to bottom right of the screen and nothing has got me back in to the recovery menu.
So does anyone know how to get in to that menu also i opened up the watch and see a few test points if that could be used i dont mind trying to solder/bodge a usb connection if that would be an option
Cheers in advance
Not one person ????? NOBODY has an answer?? I think we should all file a class action law suit on Fossil.
Try with adb, use it with either bluetooth or wifi and once it's connected to your pc type "adb reboot recovery"
Same issue with my fossil watch.. deleted something and its blinking since .. cn anyone help with the instructions to factory reset with buttons
