[Q] Boot Time - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How long should it take for my phone to boot. Its stock &rooted and not a lot of programs to load up. With fastboot of course its only seconds. When I do a full reboot its 22 seconds as well as when I start the phone from being completely off. It also takes about the same time to go into recovery mode. Is 22 seconds normal?

Yeah that's about normal for a standard boot.

is that really too long for you or something?...

No I was just checking because I had nothing to compare it to. By no means am I disappointed, just curious.

You can also enable quickboot in developer settings. It'll shut down and boot up in seconds. It's sort of like a hibernate mode and doesn't affect reboot.

Cant a person simply shut it off?
The awesome ROMS available make the TF boot up in a very short time...
So I vote turn it off.

Custom roms are awesome, but Honeycomb requires more time to boot depending on how many applications you have installed. A fresh flash is ready in 30 seconds, with just a couple hundred apps it takes two minutes and some seconds.

[Q] I can't shut my phone down! just restarts!! PLEASE HELP

running cleanrom 3.0, no matter what option i choose in restart menu or shut down, it just does a hot restart
wish i could do a god damn battery pull
[EDIT] This self resolved this time but wtf??
To simulate battery pull hold power button it will blink a few times then turn off. Also disable fast boot in power options.

Yup. Its meant to work all the time, in place of a battery pull.

I had this same problem today.
But the advice given above didn't work for me?
I had to do a factory reset on the phone.
Then the trick to shutting down the phone is to do it BEFORE you set up the phone, immediately after the first bootup.
Just for the fun I decided to brick my phone on purpose. Holding the power button will effectively turn the phone off. Got back into my recovery and reloaded a backup.

Not much of a "brick" if you can just recover from a backup.
Shoot, then i probably brick 4 or 5 times a week

I also experienced this issue yesterday and was able to resolve the issue. Although I am running sick-sense, this might work for you to because I think the issue is kernel related. Try plugging your phone using the charger, and unplug it. see if it resolves your problem. Let us know if this helps so other who might encounter this issue have a fix.

[Q] Phone not locking and unlocking occasionally

So since today when I push the power button to lock my phone it will do the crt-off animation but occasionally (1 out of 3 or 4 times) it will immediately be woken at the lock screen after the animation. It does the same while waking, it will turn on and immediately crt-off and sleep. I have even reset the flash counter and wiped and re-flashed different roms at least 10 times.
Does anybody have any advice?
Thanks
Power button is probably getting stuck. Clean it

So I took it apart and cleaned the button. I noticed that when I first flash a rom it barely does it but when all my apps are downloaded it will do it much more. Should I maybe do a unroot and reroot? I think it's mostly software. I don't know what to do next.

Can't get into hboot / recovery / fastboot

So, I thought I knew what I was doing, but apparently not.
I tried flashing XYLON.
Now, the phone gets stuck on the boot animation. I've been trying to get it to work for the last 12 hours. It either gets stuck on the boot animation, or on the "Android is updating" screen. I can't even get into the hboot to boot into recovery.
Can anyone recommend a course of action to bring my phone back to life?

I haven't touched my hboot since i rooted my phone.
Hold down power until lights flash 7-10 times. Simulates a battery pull. Then push volume down and press and hold power button for 4-5 seconds, then release power while still holding volume down.. should go to bootloader. Sounds like your not timing it correctly

Well, I'm still trying that. I've done it the way you''ve mentioned it here as well. Trying it again now. I've never had problems getting into my hboot before. :S
Something just seems wrong.
Once I get back home, I'm gonna pull the phone apart and check if something's wrong with my volume button. The Vol. up stopped working, but vol down was working just fine....
Let it boot as far as it will go and see if adb will recognize it. If it does adb reboot bootloader

I've tried that.I kept it for an hour, let it go as far ahead as it would. ADB does not see it.
I agree, if you cant get Into bootloader its a timing issue. Try holding the power buttons until the capacitive buttons blink 7 times or so, when the screen goes black let go of power and press and hold only volume until the bootloader comes up. This way is almost impossible to miss.

Seem like I've been missing the timing all day. :/ I'm gonna check my hardware this evening... lets see what happens after that.
I have heard of a case where someone had to physically disconnect the battery before they could get into bootloader but that's a *****. Since you're s-off you could try RUUing.

RUU doesn't work. I can't get RUU to detect my phone. It doesn't boot up. It's stuck at the boot logo. And even if I leave it connected to ruu while i'm trying to reboot, or trying to get into hboot, it still doesn't detect my phone.
Well... You could let the battery drain and then charge it for about 10 mins then unplug from power and press and hold power and volume.

Right back into the boot screen. I think I'mg onna give up on this now. :/
Sorry man, I'm out of ideas as well. Taking apart the phone and pulling the battery for a bit is the last option.
I encourage you to keep trying the traditional way before taking the phone apart.

Well, I've already pulled my phone apart once to replace my broken screen. Which is why I'm suspecting it could be a hardware problem. Somehow. *sigh*
And I'm in. Finally.
I let the phone's battery drain completely. I pulled apart the phone, and pressed down on the volume + power pins/buttons directly. And I got into the boot loader.
I'm currently restoring the backup of the rooted stock rom I always keep on my phone storage.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and support.
I just saved myself a whole lot of money. ^_^
I think you can help me maybe but I'm not so experienced

So my situation is similar but my htc inc s is brand new from ebay china seller ( I live in Greece), is s-on, never messed up with, never rooted all factory. It worked great for few days and after the first OTA update I cant get into hboot, adb doesn't see the phone, always the updating symbol on screen.Tried battery pull, volume down + power in all the possible timing and combinations but yet nothing! Also I tried battery pull, volume up + power it vibrates 3 times orange lid is on and black screen (on the forums is said that this is diagnostic menu). So I think maybe this phone is a refurb and not new since the answer from HTC global support (after sending my IMEI and S/N) is that this phone is for Indonesian market and that its warranty expired year ago! Can you help me in some way guys...

Sorry, I am not familiar with your phone. If it is completely stock, you may be able to RUU while int he diagnostic menu or during updating screen. Best to post in the Htc inc s forums.

Disable fastboot?

These phones reboot crazy fast for me, as in the OS and finished loading quick.
Makes me assume it's doing fastboot and not ever really rebooting or shutting down all the way.
I came from HTC and we had option under settings/power to disable fastboot.
Does this offer similar? Or is the phone really just booting that quick now.
Pretty sure it's just booting that fast now, I looked through all the settings and didn't see anything about fast boot

Try a battery pull and then boot up. See if you notice a difference.

Think you're a bit confused on what fastboot actually is. You can review and learn what fastboot is and how it is used in this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...tmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=22720312
Yes, your device is booting that fast. You won't find the fastboot option setting on Samsung, and just a heads up, it wasn't an option on your HTC to boot your device faster either (technically speaking). ??

I did, that's what sparked me asking this. The phone boots a little slower.

Actually on my HTC it was, they specifically even say it is:
" HTC Fast Boot that enables people to quickly make a call or check emails by shortening the time taken to complete the power-up sequence."
That's from a press release a few years back.
And the option in the menu on my phone even said enabling it to speed up boot times.
I know what you're referring to though, you are thinking like the fastboot in the way that people flash/mod etc. I am talking about the actual the phone booting up and using a hybrid hibernation vs. not mode.
