How long should it take the Bold to reset?
I have an AT&T Bold with 4.6.0.217 installed. I have noticed that since installing .214 (or maybe even .210), the reset cycle has been extremely long - north of 5 minutes. Does this make sense? Anyone else notice extremely long reset cycles? Any thoughts on whether this can be reduced?
Thanks, Ian |
Mine has been quite slow to start up on every OS version I've tried. I can just imagine, an emergency going down and for some reason waiting for this thing (or any BB for that matter) to go through the startup. My pc boots faster!

I have the same issue. Ever since installing .185 from the original .167 my Bold takes anywhere from 4 to 6 minutes to reboot. Interesting to see others share my same frustration.

Every build I have used falls into the 4-6 minute range, but the .214, .215, and .216 took longer than that (I would estimate 6-8 minutes).

You guys are lkucky mine is like 10 to 15 min And I was just going to ask the same. Even with the orginal OS it was long. |

It feels like ~10 minutes OS Ver:9000/4.6.0.214 |
Now here is a very interesting tidbit. I try to do a battery pull after every OS upgrade - I've read many places that it is good hygiene and helps with power drain issues. I noticed after the last battery pull that the Bold didn't seem to take as long to rest. So, I decided to time it. The reset cycle after a battery pull was only 2 minutes and 50 seconds (compared to 5 minutes and 45 seconds with a soft reset). Does this make any sense at all??
I usually do a soft reset every day or two - most often to refresh memory levels and just overall improve performance (I know this is to a large extent psychological). I now know that a battery pull is much faster. Very strange. Just thought I'd share... |

But instead of battery pull you can just hit alt+right shift+del togather twice and it will reset :) |

Not sure if you're being serious or facetious, so I thought I'd just assume you're being serious. ALT-SHIFT-DEL is a soft reset (or twice for a hard reset). That's what's been taking us all 5 to 10 minutes. The battery pull - that has traditionally been viewed as the more "drastic" form of reset, now turns out to be MUCH quicker. I, for one, am never going to soft reset again. |
