Whilst the phone is on, I have done this and the phone shuts down. I hold just power on for a normal restart and still my apps are missing. Still stuck on safe mode

[Uliwooly]

Just follow my suggestions

Press and Hold POWER & VOLUME UP at the SAME TIME for 5 seconds until the phone vibrate.

I said I have already done as u suggested. after I Press and Hold POWER & VOLUME UP at the SAME TIME for 5 seconds until the phone vibrate, the.phone shuts down. I hold the power button for phone to start. And still the phone is in safe mode -__-

Is there anything holding/pressing the volume down key? do you have a protective case? if you do, remove it and try again 

[SonyMobilebaby]

There is nothing blocking the volume down key, I only had screen protector. I took that off and retried as u suggested but still no joy.I will keep trying, I dont want to have to wipe my phone and start again as I spent so long setting it up.:-(

How long do you press the power button? do you press it only until the phone vibrates or do you keep pressing/holding it?

The phone is no longer showing the 'safe mode' message on the bottom left of the screen, however all my apps which I configured are still missing on the home screen.

To answer Ur question, I only hold the power and volume up keys till the phone vibrates. The phone the powers off by itself, afterwards hold the power button for a few secs till it vibrates again to power on.
