I found 1 thread with 2 posts about the boot time and how it's expected to improve because the Sensations is better, but I don't see a thread about how long people's boots are taking. I just want to make sure mine is in line with everyone else's.
I timed mine last night and it took 3 minutes & 15 seconds to boot and another 30 seconds to "settle down" (mount sd, startup apps, etc).
just tested mine.. booted in just under 1 min..

That sounds a bit long. Mine takes less than a minute (fastboot is disabled)

I've noticed my boot time varies sometimes almost instantaneously & sometimes 2-3 minutes.

I didn't time mine but it takes a while like yours, but I just figured that was because I have a 32gb card full with the internal memory at only 150 mb free. Yes I know I have a lot on this phone. I think the eVo 4g I had with any of Aamikam's awsome roms started up faster, and it will drop with the upcoming custom roms/kernels. So is ur phone full too?

Mine takes atleast more than a minute to boot .is there a way to.make it faster

Mine takes about 30 seconds. I guess different phones act differently.

There is a difference when you have fastboot on and you restart the phone, power off the phone, or battery pull the phone and then boot. A battery pull and a restart is the same. When you power off the phone its like hibernation mode on your pc. So when you boot up from powering off it will be much quicker than a restart or a battery pull.

This is true. I disabled fast boot for bootloader reasons. I still get 30 sec powerups.

I have tried with fastboot on and off and get about the same results. I pull my battery a few times a day. Battery life sucks so i bought several cheap replacements which I charge separately.
I do have almost 200 apps on the phone but that's why I wanted a fast phone. I have a 32GB card but it's class 10 so I would think that wouldn't slow things down.
Today is day 29 for me so i have to decide by tomorrow and I'm still on the fence. Sprint seems slow coming from Verizon and I thought this was the fastest phone in the US right now but now I'm not sure. Plus I've had freezes with the camera and black screens when zooming in the gallery. I want to love this phone. I don't want to wish I had something better in 3 months.

This phone is one of the fastest. You may have a defective device if its that sluggish. A class 10 card should not slow you down in speed at all. You may have alot of programs loaded in your memory since you have 200. Put the phones task killer to use.

Wow... You all have fast boot times compared to me. I have the android assistant app, along with around 150 apps, and used autostarts app to prevent unnecessary apps during various system events (nice app). Anyway android assistant puts a notification with startup time after each boot. Mine used to take 5min, now up to 7min. Fastboot off, time with battery pull. 32GB adata class 6, most apps except largest are on internal.
Especially painful if random reboot occurs during important call...

This happened to me about a week ago. Charging it was what fixed it.
If charge it doesn't fix go to a sprint store and let them charged the battery the did the trick for.my EVO 4G once the happened, for.some reason the battery seems dead when is nor really dead

Maybe check the battery connectors dood. I know some htc models have problems with those.
Coz i just saw it in 3D with the Shooter!
mines not powering up either.. Never turned it off, woke up this morning & it was off. Not powering up. been on charger all night
happens all the time to me. i know its a flaw, but ive learned to NEVER let my battery go all the way dead. If i see it get around 5-10% ill just put in on airplane mode til i can get to a charger. Also if you battery is very low, turning it off or pulling the battery will cause it to get an attidude and not turn back on for 15-20 min
Yeah, I have been having lots of "attitude" from my battery or power button or on/off code or whatever is making these things not want to power on reliably.... Not to mention the random charge-light-on-wont-turn-on antics. Has been happening more and more frequently and nothing i do works reliably so I just try them all until one works.
I can't have this. This morning I woke up to a locked phone, screen off, green light on, won't turn on.... And totally dead battery while plugged in? Good thing my nook is so reliable as an alarm clock or I might have been in deep **** at work.
It's not the rom or kernel... I've tested everything. I think it's deeper than that. I might not be able to wait for the nexus-prime.... Sgs2 might have to do.

I've seen a lot of these posts. I usually never let mine get in the amber even but I recently flashed viper rom so i wanted to do a battery calibration...meaning..reset stats from full charge..then use it till it dies. After reading these posts I realized mine hadnt died on me any yet. After 16 hours of heavy abuse (12 hours of normal music streaming, calls, text, web surfing etc...and 4 hours of just playing youtube video's with all radio's on trying to kill the damn thing) it finally croaked. Worked just fine though.
Maybe something to do with certain shipments. I've seen a lot of posts on htis but no one ever puts out a batch number or anything. Perhaps all the ones having issues came from a similar batch...and have some designation of affiliation with said batch. Just a though..if we could discover some trend in this...perhaps they'd consider acknowledging it and helping users with issues...or at least help new comers to the thread avoid particular troublesome ones.

It did this before I did s-off.... Admittedly not as much, but it also hadn't done it any more afterwards.... Until a week or so ago, and it just seems to be getting worse.

AWFUL signal strength. actually, worse Ive ever had on a phone.
my EVO never came back. I was at 60% batt life when I put on charge last night & was dead ass hell this morning.. no life at at.. Sprint tech took it apart it said the phone apears like new, just lifeless. swapped battery with 3 others, no good. So I figured it would be a long shot but I took it back to the store I got it from 36 days ago.. & Explained what happen.. Swapped me out with another one right then & there!..
BTW this is my 5th NEW Evo3D. thats sad...
Am I the only one impressed by the new standard Motorola has done with the Razor Maxx? I don't necessarily like the unremovable back but for a 3000+ mah battery I think its a small sacrifice lol. I used to have a 3000mah extended battery on my og evo and it made the phone huge! I really hope other companies can expand on battery technology and improved SOC. I would love to see 2012 be the year of 24 hour battery life be something normal.

I agree, I think more manufacturers should be going this route as my biggest complaint is battery life. But like others said, unremovable battery is a deal breaker. There's been too many times that I had to pull the battery when either my phone completely froze, wouldn't boot past the splash screen, or got stuck in a boot loop.

So I guess none of you know you can hold power + vol up + vol down for 4 or 5 seconds and the phone does an instant force restart no matter what? It is built into the hardware, much like holding the power button on a PC that is frozen for 4 seconds does a force shutoff. You dont need to pull a battery for any reason

This is what I do every time. It works if you can get it once it gets easier. Unfortunately I don't think removable 3000+ mah batteries are in the near future. I'm not sure about anybody else but can you imagine a quad core 20+ hour battery life phone? Now that's the technology I'm looking for. Once more people focus more on battery technology a truly 'perfect' phone will be in reach

Well if you're going to develop, you'd have ADB with you and should be able to easily reboot the phone into recovery or whatever through there. 3000mah batteries built into the case but still remove the case is a good idea. We've, however, gotten out as much as we could from li-ion so it's really time for a new type of battery.

Greetings,
my girlfriend bought herself the Desire X and is using it for about one month now.
This morning all of a sudden, sense starts reloading every few seconds.
Sense loads, home screen is shown and a few seconds later the screen goes blank only for sense to reload again.
It is somewhat frustrating, since this behaviour starts right away after turning the phone off and on again.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance!

No, nothing of that sort.
Could it be that some google app made an update which now interferes with the system from working properly?
I remember my girlfriend saying that it started happening after she checked her googlemail and left it with the home button.
Nevertheless it keeps restarting "loopwise" even after a fresh reboot.

is there TONS of stuff installed? could be an issue of run out of memory....
No no, I have tons of stuff installed , her´s is really lite I would say.
This morning I tried turning it off and on again, i was surprised as to how fast the phone was on again, but that didn´t change a thing.
After removing the battery and putting it back in again, the boot took a little bit longer, and now everything is great again.
@this fast booting, it seems like standby with my laptop, so the phone keeps the RAM for a while even if it is turned off?
If I recall correctly, free RAM this morning (i could take a peak at the elixir widget) was around 70 MB.
Now the free RAM is at 200-300 mb, which looks way better and more correct
Something seems to have hogged up the memory so bad, that sense kept loading...unloading...loading......
There is a setting for the number of active background processes, i left it at standard, maybe that´s a possibility to discourage the phone from behaving like that.
Also, the phone wasn´t off for a few days, maybe that´s something to keep doing regularly as well, just turning it off and let it sleep for a few minutes.

No problem Hope this will prevent this to happen in the future
Today my stock phone with JB overheated. I got a message on the screen that said the phone was shutting down for my protection. I was in the process of installing apps from the Play store. Six hours later it will still not turn back on. My battery was around 25% or so.
If it is not plugged in then no combination of button presses will produce any result.
If it is plugged in then it boots to the first logo flash and then reboots.
If it is plugged in and I boot to download mode then it flashes the download mode screen and reboots.
If it is plugged in and I hold down the power button then the power button flashes rapidly.
I left off for a couple hours and then plugged it in for a couple hours just in case it did need to charge, but it did not produce any change in results.
I am fairly certain that the fix described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039707 will work. I can also just return my phone since it is only one day old.
However it looks like there might be a fair number of people having this issue so I would like to look into preventative measures so that it does not have to happen. Other than not using the phone if it starts to get hot, does anyone have any ideas of where to check? Are there any files that can be changed to help the phone not get stuck in the pre-boot phase? I know we can change the temp that the phone shuts down at, but given that my phone actually was pretty hot I doubt that is a good solution.
Get a new phone and immediately turn on eco mode. My phone has never gotten hot during heavy usage and you won't notice any difference performance wise. You may notice better battery life, although, I haven't seen much improvement.

That is what I did with my first phone (I have two). I didn't on this phone because I wanted to see if there was any performance difference I could notice. It didn't seem any faster, but I only got to use it about 45 minutes before it overheated.
I will most likely return it, but I really do want to see what I can do to help out the people that won't have that option. I like fixing things so it is a hard choice.

This one. I sat and stared at my screen for 15 minutes trying to decide the best and shortest way to word that. I guess I failed.
I ended up returning my phone. I turned on Eco mode as soon as I could as was suggested. I noticed my phone was starting to get just as hot as before so I double checked and Eco mode had turned off. I am keeping an eye on it, but I have still had it get pretty hot a couple times. Mostly when I am downloading a lot and have the screen on. I'm staying safe by not using it for long periods of time, but that is going to get old pretty quick )= If it is a bad batch thing I suppose it would make sense that this one is bad too since I got it from the same store just two days apart.
I scared to see what is going to happen when I use LTE for the first time tomorrow lol.

How hot are we talking here for it to over heat. I've been up to 71°c on the CPU and 46°c on the battery. It felt really hot to the touch. But it continued to work.

I posted a mod in the dev section that should resolve this issue. Just choose optimized stock for a regular experience that'll appropriately throttle to maintain a reasonable temp.
So today while i was listening to music via AmazonMP3 in my car through the radio, it was also plugged into the charger. the phone went idle and turned the screen off, nothing abnormal here, however, this time when i went to turn the screen back on it would not. music was still playing and the orange charge light was on.
This happened twice today. the first time i was able to hold down the power button and force it to reboot. the second time it won't even do that. i hold down the power or hold down power+vol down/up and nothing happens. not even the buttons flashing. i've gone to the point of holding them down for 2 mins just to see if long term holding may somehow do it.
when i got home i plugged it into the computer to see if the computer would recognize the phone and to see if i could force reboot it using ADB. the computer did not see it and i tried ADB devices and it did not see it either. i'm basically at a loss at this point and any ideas would be welcome
little about the phone
running Viper 2.0.3 with S-off
well the LED just turned of... so i went and plugged it in to see if it would come back on and boot up.

ok after letting it sit off the charger for a couple hours last night i plugged it in to start t he 24 hour charge and the charge light started flashing like it would normally to let you know of low battery. after about a minute this didn't change but i took the chance and attempted to turn it on. which it did come back on at this point. however, it didn't have enough charge to stay on since the charger is not a fast charger and wasn't giving more then it used. it shut back off. i unplugged and replugged and this time it flashed and then turned solid. turned the phone back on and it stayed on without issue.
this morning it was still coming back up. though i have had one instance where it didn't today but i was able to force it off by holding the power button.
i went ahead a few minutes ago and updated to viper 2.5 and i'm hoping that the reload will correct the issue... guess we'll find out
Thanks for the help!

i did.... the original error this post is about isn't venom related. it's hardware. once i reloaded/updated to the latest venom i was getting something different.. thus why i said 'To the Viper Forum!" on my last post

Have heard a couple people say to leave it on charge, whether the charge light comes on or not, for 24 hours. Then try to reboot.
Hope you get it figured out. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

well at this point i'm saying it's a hardware issue. after i updated to 2.5 (and got the viper tweaks error resolved) i'm still having this issue. even had it this morning without it going screen off and i was looking at it this time when it happened. what it did was the screen just looked like it currupted the image with vertical lines and everything went grey as it was fading out. and then the charge light stayed on again. at least this time i was able to force it off again and turn it back on.. but yeah. i'm going with hardware issues. i'll probably go to Verizon tomorrow or this weekend and ask if i can take my wifes upgrade 1.5 months early. it'll be nice if they let me.. though now i need to figure out what i'd want to get..choices...
Too bad about your DNA. Personally I kinda like the One Max. Nice big screen and expandable memory.

expandable memory is always nice!
though i'm also looking at the LG G2. my dad has one of those and it's been great. the 3000 battery is nice, as is the 13 MP camera...i'll just have to compare and see which one i like better over all. price may play a part as well since right now the G2 is $50 while the One Max is $300....
just looking at them compared though. the One Max doesn't have as good a processor as the G2. 1.7 GHz vs 2.26 Ghz (both quad). i suppose a take the good with that bad would come on either phone since the G2 doesn't have expandable storage.
also... i'm not sure i'd want a phone that size. 5.5 would probably be the largest i'd want. i'll hold it when i go to the store. maybe i'll find it more comfortable then i think...

i've never actually had a samsung phone, either as a dumb phone or a smartphone. i've had a OG Droid, Xperia play and the DNA and that's it so far. one of my co-workers is trying to convince me to go with the note 3 since that's what he has. but i don't really want a phone/tablet. it wouldn't fit in my phone pocket that's built into my pants
i've rooted and unlocked samsung S2 before. but that's about it....

I had a Samsung phone for 2 years and hated it, it constantly froze and I had to do a battery pull daily. There was also little development for it though u doubt you will have that problem if you get the note 3. After owning that phone for 2 years and then picking up the DNA I have become an HTC fan. I had a Samsung continuum. Jut my little rant about Samsung.
