How to bypass Startup Procedures (applications) while booting up.

There are cases wherein the phone might get stuck with applications that run during boot up. In this case, you can't remove software because of certain errors, or your phone seeming to be dead.

If this happens to you, it is try to bypass the Startup procedure of your 7650 first before proceeding to the dreaded hard reset. By bypassing the startup function, you may be able to remove the problematic software, avoiding the hard reset. 😉

1. power off your phone,
2. press Abc button and power on phone (keep holding Abc for approx. 30 seconds).

Thanks to Robert of PsiLoc for this tip.

Ive always been wary of having apps load at startup incase there was a problem. This info is great news no now I can set ActiveDesk to auto load.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers

I've tried to anable an auto start to one of the application & follow the tip above but the application still be able to auto-start.
I don't know if the tip will bypass the autostart function of the application or not?
