My Tf take like 2 long minutes to boot
Is that normal? (I have like tons of apps)
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
No. Two minutes is not normal.
Are you running the stock ROM? Overclock? Please provide more details.

Mine takes about 15-20 seconds. I have about 5 or 6 apps installed.
I've never counted and have maybe 80-130 apps installed by now. Best guess is around 1 minute.

mines takes about 40 sec..
37 seconds from the flicker of the screen until the lock screen pops up. Running PRIME 2.1.1 with the Prime OC Kernal.

Mine takes a bit of time also. With over a 100 apps, regardless of Prime or Revolver it takes a good amount until I see the lockscreen,but its because I have zipaligned on boot enabled.
4 minutes, zip aligned

oh god, I have over 100 apps installed and my boot time is 3:04, and some of you are getting 15 SECONDS??? welp, time to make my backup, wipe the divice clean, and see how much faster i can get my boot time. I don't usually restart my transformer, so this extremely long boot time was a real surprise to me. Thanks for reminding me to reboot more often!
Mine takes about three millennia, give or take a century or two. That's with the latest Prime ROM. How the crap do you guys get such short boot times?
well, after a wipe of all of my data and then restore of about 30 apps from titanium backup (I'm using good 'ol revolver 1.9.5 and prime OC at default voltage) i got a cool 43 seconds from asus screen to lockscreen.
OK, I just rebooted my device for the first time in weeks with logcat running. Aside from all the retarded "adb server is out of date" errors I got, I also noticed that PackageManager is unpacking native libraries all the time. Something I've not seen in ages, and the only results I get for its output lead me to the CM bugtracker and forum.
It looks like it's something common to all Android devices (I think my Sensation does it if 'quick boot' isn't enabled), but it seems to have been solved on the CM end of things.
I guess we have to either wait for CM or ICS to see faster boot times from our tabs
Mine probably takes 45 seconds to a minute.
Question though... Why does it matter? You guys rebooting your tfs multiple times a day? I reboot mine about once a week or so, honestly could care less about whether it takes 30 second or 5 minutes to boot.
No offense
Carry on

Yes and also some of us get random reboots.. and if u were doing something or show off your tablet.. No one wants to wait for it to reboot back up in 1+ minutes..
I thin the reason for longed boot time might be attributed to the number of apps installed along side having zipaligned enabled.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
5 or 6 Minutes... If installing an update from the recovery It takes 10 to 13 Minutes !!!
I have over 200+ apps !!
Using the Latest Revolver ROM...
Also there are some features in the Revolver parts app... If I enabled them the booting time doubles !! (Battery Calibration - Defragmentation - Zipalign)
So Insane !!!
Mine takes about 50 seconds. with about 90 apps installed.
I'm using Android Revolution HD 2.2.1, clocked op 1514 Mhz.
I'm on stock, using ADW EX with about 70 apps. Takes about 4 and a half minutes to boot up.
let me also add that I have 153 apps installed according to TiBackup.
Take note also that if you are basing your boot time on a freshly installed ROM, it could be considerably longer. On average for me its been as long as 10 minutes, but for the most part its been taking about 7 minutes total on updates/installs.
If you change something that requires reboot, like the bootanimation.zip, it can also take longer due to the OS needing to read the changed file. I am running the PRIME ROM, but I swapped out the bootanimation for the one in revolver. I really dig it better than the whole "PC boot up" thing.
Thinning out your system apps will also decrease boot time (I have found). For some reason, if I had alot of /system/app apk's it seemed to lag on startup. Most of the files I have are in the /data/app directory. Also, certain apps are programmed to run on startup, which can dramatically affect your boot time.

Are you referring to media hub? If so, you can freeze or uninstall it.
Wow, this just jumped up for me as well. For the last day and a half my battery life has been brutal. This morning I'm down 16% in 45 min. despite not using my phone.
Looks like two apps are the culprits: Media and Media Server. Can anyone tell me how I can determine what is forcing these to run?
I thought I could correlate it to installing a free Amazon talking book, 'cause after installing it this weekend my media server never seemed to shut off and I had to reboot to kill it. But I uninstalled the app last night with no improvement.

Looks like some have had success removing all media files from their SD cards. Doing this piecemeal sounds pretty daunting to me - seems like every app folder and subfolder has at least images in it. Think I'll wait til next time I flash to start fresh. If this battery drain keeps up it will probably be in the next couple hours

Everything else seems to work fine for me. This is driving me crazy. I formatted my SD card, but no improvement. Media Server continues to run. I then wiped once, but still it's running. Been running Silver's ICS for a week with no issues at all, then this started two days ago.
Next up I'm gonna wipe 3x, then dalvik wipe, then reflash. ARRRRGH!

Have you tried moving everything off of your emmc (internal sd) to your computer? Then reboot. I had a problem with media scanner doing that. I take it you never used the Odin one click?

Haven't used Odin on this SR (it's a two-week old replacement). I've only used Odin in the past to remove root. I'm at a loss here. I've formatted my ext. SD, wiped my phone numerous times, flashed 3 different ROMs today, and restored every app one-by-one so that I don't restore the data. Still media server runs like a top.
Is there a way to use Odin that's faster than removing root and starting over? I gotta fix this - I can't last 4 hours on a battery.

I know what you mean. Have you tried running fix permissions in rom manager? You have to install busybox from the market first, though.

Just finished fixing permissions and rebooted. I'm only 7 minutes into the battery monitor, but media server is still running over 50% of drain. Sigh, guess a trip to Odin is in order.
Huh. I was having a similar problem, and moving all the files from the internal sd card to my computer fixed it. And then I read somewhere that fix permissions would work too. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help. Good luck!

While there may be another issue underlying, one of the more prominant reboot causes on the phone is wifi.
I believe I may have found the cause of the problem, and with that a temporary fix.
The problem had me at a loss because some people had it and others didn't, so I concluded it to be caused by either wifi channel or security.
Doing some scanning I found my own wifi to be running on channel 3. Opening the router interface I found the channel setting, like most routers, was set to auto. I changed this setting to 6 and no more reboots.
The fix
If you are running your own wireless router, open the interface and use a standard channel (1,6,11, 6 is recommended if you use wireless N with 40mhz channel width). I will not help you set up your router as there are plenty of tutorials out there.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Unfortunately for me this is not the case. I've had my router set to channel 11 for some time. It does not change. Also, I've had the problem occur when wifi on the phone was not enabled.
After reading a thread in the Dev section on this kernel about it possibly being signal-strength related, I figured I would do some testing with different modems. I first went to the KD1 modem and it seemed fine for almost a day, then a reboot. Followed by a reboot soon thereafter. I switched to KG4 and the problem got worse. I do believe, however, that when it occurred my signal strength to T-Mobile (not via wifi) was weak/nonexistent.
I'm still on the KG4 modem despite the amount of issues I had with it last (one time it rebooted twice within the matter of a minute).
I think Bryan may be onto something provided in a log regarding the WM8994 module/code.
I'm glad you're still trying to figure out the issue as my time is limited these days. I hope we can narrow this issue down for the folks having the problem.
Thanks for your efforts and time!
Yes. As I said it appears there are 2 issues. My phone had started to reboot almost every 5 minutes when connected to wifi. There does also seem to be another issue causing reboots, but for some this may help.

I misread the first sentence. Sorry about that. Weird that wifi is causing that issue. I'm tempted to set my router to auto & see what happens. I set a channel for it long ago because I have a repeater to get the signal to the other side of the house and they would hang if both were set to auto.

I don't get great battery life as it is. I did notice yesterday or the day before, though, that when it reboots itself, the battery usage shows a sharp drop. I also noticed it's not a "full" reboot, but rather seems like a quick boot.
I agree with the half reboots and it also seems to me that they happen when the signal is low. I get a couple a day and usually while using data or wifi while indoors or while coverage is low. I don't know if these details help track it down or not but I wanted to leave my experiences.

Just an FYI. I set my router to n only channel 6 a few days ago. No reboots til this morning. Normally it's "hmmm there it goes again." This morning however I thought I had broken my ankle and was waiting for a call back on what to do. BAM, my blue tooth disconnected, I looked at the phone and saw the beats audio startup. Really bad timing for a reboot. Wifi wasn't on. Glad I didn't miss the call back. That would have really sucked.
Ive pretty.much given up on finding it. Im waiting for my sdcard to come in the mail to test that. If that doesnt fix it ill be redeeming my phone warranty this weekend.

Don't give up just yet.
I'm using my Hebrew Valhalla ROM and using Bryan's kernel I had no reboots for more than a month. It's basically Valhalla Final with Adrenaline Shot 14.1 with system mount on etc init.d scripts. I'm also on sidekick kd1 modem. You can try this ROM, if you don't change locality to Hebrew it's as English as any other ROM.

You may have something there. I really don't understand how all the various work together, but seemingly there's something between the kernel and the modem. Since the reboots can be random though, it's hard for me to even guess. I flashed SCOM a little bit ago which uses the KD1 Modem with KJ6-v0.1.1-rc2. So we'll see.
Idk. It seams heat related. Also Bryan said that he either tracked it to userspace errors or he thinks its caused by userspace errors.

for those of you having the random reboot, did you do the gremlin removal steps + the factory wipe without the sd card in the phone? i would highly recommend this. after you have successfully done the gremlin remover, remove and reformat the sd card on the computer. while this is formatting, go back into cwm and wipe data/cache/dalvik without the sd card in the phone. once this is done, let the phone sit for 15 min or and and shut down. put the sd card in and reboot. if you still have random reboots, try the kh2 kernel.
I was going through the same reboot issues with kernels newer than 2D for a while. Then a few weeks ago I flashed FB's version and everthing ran great for a week. I was running VB with no additional tweaks of any kind. The week of no random reboots got me feeling good enough to start adding some of the typical changes I make to my phone... the first being changing some SD apps over to System apps ( Netflix, Skype, TB, Plume, Ninesky, ES File Ex, Camera Zoom FX & a few others)...BAM! Random reboots 4 to 5 times a day. Converted apps back after 3 days but the reboots persisted. Reflashed VB from scratch, keeping kernel that is packed in Raver's VB ROM, left apps alone and so far no reboots in 4 days. The only logs I found were similar to those posted on another thread where Bryan then said he didn't need anymore, he just needed time to de-bug.
Has anyone tried using the kj2 modem? kd1from SCOM was giving me random reboots left and right and after flashing kj2 last night my phone has been up for a little over 17 hrs without any issues. I know its not alot of time but its better than random reboots every hour or so. Signal strength also went up a bit.

I usually do the whole gremlin thing before every flash regardless. Actually formatting my sd on the puter as we speak. Then I'll do gremlin again, then reformat, etc. The things you mentioned at the end though I've never seen before, so I'll add those into the mix. With the SCOM flash this morning, the phone rebooted within 3 hours. I'm glad to see Bryan's back and that he's on top of it.
I had this problem and added the system mount on init.d scripts and the modem and don't have it. Never used the gremlin remover. So if the gremlin remover won't work for you as well, try what I say.

I'm on icbinb, which I've been on for well over a month and have only had one reboot (after leaving my phone on for more than 5 straight days). Only thing I've changed is tried the sidekick modems, but they didn't increase my service, so I flashed back to kj6.

I'm on scom v2 and no reboots so far so it might be an app causing this. Hmm...
if you ain't first you're last
I'm having trouble with the Media application as listed in the battery stats. It's using an ungodly amount of my battery power. This has happened across multiple roms, using Darkside Wipe and not using it. I've even gone as far as to use ODIN to go back to stock, and reroot and rom my device.
I'm currently using Team Wafflehouse's AOKP rom v4. Only thing I've done is install gapps and added my google account.
Staring at it right now, Media is at 48% of the battery consumption. This is directly after wiping battery stats + wiping cache and formatting emmc. I have no idea what's going on.
Any help?
EDIT:
I've since reinstalled my rom. Checking the usage. It seems to be skyrocketting, pardon the pun, as soon as I sign into my google account.
I've noticed the same thing every now and then, only since I flashed CM9, which was a few weeks ago now. Haven't figured out what's causing it, so I'd also be interested in some possible explanations.

Thought it might have been the cache for the Gallery's instant upload. Nope, still having same issue.
I'm stock and I don't even see media. I think it has to do with transferring files to and from your SD card.

You may have a corrupt file on your device that can cause the media scan to get stuck.
Have you tried wiping everything to new and just use the phone without installing anything or copying any files to it?
I'm sure this has been asked, but since the search function is down right now, I'll just ask in a new thread. How long should a NAND backup take? I am using CWM 6.0.1.0, and it's been churning for about an hour now. It's not stuck, and it's making progress, it's just really slow. I am backing up a ROM based on stock.
Admittedly, I am not using an ultra-fast SD card, but this still seems long to me. For those of you that flash a lot, do you typically backup to the internal or external storage? Is the internal storage perhaps faster than an SD card that is a few years old?
Thanks!
How many apps do you have on there? I know that that can make a difference. An hour seems long to me. It takes my DX about 8 or so minutes
