Did you manage to get windows 98 on your phone lol. I have never seen that before. Try nandroid restore or factory reset or reflash rom.

I've seen safe mode on android phones before and a reboot usually makes it go away

I think if you hold menu during boot it will come up in safe mode. Sometimes I'll do it accidentally if I touch the right place at the right time when handling the phone when it boots. It's a pain because I have to put most of my widgets back to the desktop because they get the problem loading error. I also freak out because I think my phone got wiped

Exclamation My phone is in safe mode!

HOLLY COW, SAFE MODE IS REAL!

I've tried to get into safe mode in the past to no avail.

Out of the blue, I look down on my phone it says "Safe mode" on the lower left corner in a ghosted box. How the heck did I get myself into there? I've tried every key combo in the past to no avail. I musta restarted my phone and had my hand on the capactive buttons without knowing.

I want to take a snapsoht with Shootme, but it won't let me open Shootme for some reason.

LOL anyway just got excited there for a second.
