Anyone else think the xperia play has the longest ever bootup? It can take up to 5 minutes to load on mine!
how long does your phone take to boot?
Couple of minutes maybe, rooted & some bloatware removed.
My boot up time depends, maybe on the plays mood?, it's between 2-5 min? Never really the same boot up time
Really liked htc fastboot option, took less than 30 secs. Missing that one...
Regards Dousan...
mine takes exactly 4 min.... i never seen an android phone boot so slow....
Little over a minute after removing lots of bloatware.
Its so long that I want to root it just to remove the bloat.
mines is really random, sometimes it takes a minute, sometimes upto 2
when i gotit it took up to 5 lol
ive removed most apps btw
50 seconds. Used this thread to help identify a lot of bloatware:

the boot time will depend on what you were doing before you switched your device off, for example if you had just installed lots of apps, the dalvik vm will have to rebuilld the DC on bootup so it will take longer ect

Can't remember if it was like that when I first got the Nike, but nowadays it takes a good 3+ minutes before I can type in my SIM pin code, after that it runs fine, anyone else have that problem ?
That's about the normal I think ... it takes me 2/3mins as well ...
thanks, will time boot time exactly the next time, can't remember another wm device being so slow. Kaiser can't be more than 1 minute.
Mine is currently taking 70 seconds - it very much depends on what you have installed and what starts at bootup.
My G2 is running the stock ROM, not rooted. I rooted my G1 and ran every ROM I could get my hands on, but with free WiFi tethering and a clean OS, I find no reason to root my G2... yet.
Lately, I've been encountering a really slow boot time - almost 2 minutes from power button to OS up and running. I do have a lot of widgets, but I don't have an excessive amount of apps. Do the widgets slow the bootup? They're not even ready when I unlock the screen (after the network becomes available), and I've already waited 2 minutes.
My wife's G2 takes about 20-30 seconds to boot up. What gives?
It's the widgets. The more you have, the longer the boot time will be in order for everything to load up!
Thanks! I got wise and rooted/installed CM7. Bout damn time. WAY faster than before.
Yeah I noticed the same thing when I tried out CM6 (which I'm using now).
Before it was taking more than a minute, now it's up pretty quick.
Yeah... I'm not great at titling... Anywho...
I've come across a problem, of which I'll attempt to go through everything I did that leads to the point, which is; my Nexus 4 doesn't turn on without being plugged into, either the wall or any PC.
So my phone crashes, solemnly (probably because I have Cyanogen on my phone), but lately (lately is in this past week), it's been crashing 3-4 times a day. Then, a few days ago, I was on it and it crashed again, this time, it wouldn't turn on -- my brother was (and probably still is) under the impression that I bricked it -- I would still be thinking the same but seeing as the phone turns on whilst being plugged in I'm wondering if the battery is shot, the hardware is shot, they're both shot or something more undesirable is happening.
I'm not blaming the app for this, however, the frequent crashing did start to happen more violently after I installed and used "Google Camera" for no less than 5 minutes -- at which time, I uninstalled the app and went to the Default Camera App, only for it to also crash the phone, thereafter, the phone just started to crash no matter what I did.
The phone also chooses when to shut itself off; sometimes if I unplug it, it'll turn off immediately, other times I've noticed it'll actually stay on for awhile (the longest its gone so far is 5-10 minutes). I was playing around with wallpaper when I decided to see if I might be able to use the camera, to my dissatisfaction, the phone crashed -- I noticed this when I looked back at the screen.
So now, for the last 18 (give or take 4 hrs) hours, I've been using the phone 'normally' whilst plugged in.

Have you tried to make a clean install and not restoring anything to check if that helps? If that doesn't help I would try flashing a factory image.

Yes I have tried to make a clean install, with a different OS as well, CyanogenMOD's take on Lollipop 5.1. The phone still turns itself off though.
What is "Flashing a factory image" mean?

You download the full stock ROM from Google, and use fastboot to flash it. Here is a guide on how to do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312

If you want a 100% clean flash, just download the factory image and flash it by executing the flash-all.bat (you are using windows I guess) script. It might be necessary to reboot into the bootloader first.

Tried this, didn't work.
My phone has basically been flashing red for awhile now and it doesn't turn on at all.
Your battery is dead, same happened with me 3 months ago.....
I took it to service centre, they just changed the battery (ask them specifically otherwise they will wipe data too, internal included)
Overall it cost me INR 1200 i.e approx $20

Yeah, so I figured.
My father and I just replaced the battery with a Tablet's battery. Although probably not seen as proper. If it works, why fight about it? Haha.
Thanks.

Your farther does not really worry enough for your health
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery#Safety
My device is rooted, and the typical "your device is unlocked and cannot be trusted" screen on my phone takes at least 35-40 seconds to go away before proceeding to boot into the device, even though it says that it'll continue booting in five seconds. What's up with that? Is anyone else experiencing this, or is your boot time actually around what it actually says?
I've decided to time just how long it takes for the bootloader unlocked warning to go away vs. the boot animation finishing.
Bootloader Unlocked Screen - 39.6 seconds
Motorola Boot Animation - 20.2 seconds
Total Time - 50.8 seconds
Nearly a minute for the device to boot! And just to confirm that I'm not crazy, here's times from an G5 Plus that isn't rooted. I used this video.
Motorola Unrooted Screen - 24.8 seconds
Motorola Boot Animation - 13.7 seconds
Total Time - 38.5 seconds
The time difference of the stock vs. rooted screen is 14.8 seconds! I understand that a device that is rooted has a lot more data on it that needs to be loaded, but this is the screen that shows before a lot more stuff appears. So, I backed up my device's data and reset it, leaving the bootloader unlocked. The time I recorded?
Bootloader Unlocked Screen - 38.6 seconds
Essentially no time difference. On a device that was just factory reset; nothing but an unlocked bootloader.
I may be missing out some important details, but I really am at a loss of what would explain this other than Motorola giving those with modified devices slower boot times.
Is 14 seconds once in a while really bothering you?

It's not that it's bothersome, but rather strange that simply having an unlocked bootloader with nothing else modified adds that amount of time.
Count Your Blessings...

I also own a ZTE Zmax Pro..
It's Bigger
It's Faster
It has 1080p Screen That is just as good if not better..
It does not heat up No Matter What you are doing...
And the Battery last a day and a half.. with 7 hrs SOT with Moderate to Heavy usage.
And I only paid $39.99 for it Brand New on a promo sale..(Regularly $99.99)
But you know what it does not have? It does not even have access to the bootloader.. ZTE removed it entirely.. It's a TREMENDOUS value device.
But without Root Brother, you have nothing but another phone.. in a sea of phones..
So.. when you are waiting those 14 seconds.. think about the fact that you have a device with such GREAT Community Support.. and a device that YOU can control for the Money you spent.. unlike the Zmax Pro.. and that should outweigh those 14 seconds Every Time..
From power off or restart to the screen lock.. takes 1 minute and 40 seconds.... seems very long to me.. My PH-1 is stock and never rooted and always went through the OTA updates and is current and up to date on Android 10.
Thoughts
My first thought is it may be time for a factory reset.
have you tried safe mode?
Never timed mine until now. Just got curious... Regular restart: 1:25 from tapping the button in Power menu to the screen lock. Faster than yours, but not by much. Seems normal to me, consistent with what I've been seeing with this phone.

Thank you for timing yours! Just ran mine again with the stop watch on my Smart watch and it came in at exactly 1:52:78 so it is a bit slower than yours. Think I will try a factory reset and then time it before restoring everything from the cloud and see what I get. :highfive:
It seems due to the November Update.

Yes, seems very long. Mine takes about 35secs & that was with me putting the wrong SIM pin in the first time (I stoped timing when the clock appeared on screen (and my always on VPN had started, so could have been even quicker)
(I'm using a pin for unlock & was connecting to mobile data. Wonder if there is an app that runs at start up that could be slowing you guys down?)
64 seconds from cold to lockscreen for me - stock rooted 10.
I use SD Maid and selectively disable boot from a lot of applications - You would surprised be how many apps think they have the right to launch every boot and sit around in the background.
Magisk scripts can take a while to complete and will slow down launch too, a lot of modules would probably slow it too.
A little bit of housekeeping would probably help, a reset and restore however could just restore the same problem again....
After a factory reset without a restore it took 18.22 seconds from powered off state to the lock-screen. After a full restore from cloud backup it now takes 22.51 seconds from power off state to the lock-screen. Also the phone is way more responsive like it was when I first bought it.... Guess it is true what I have read online... best to factory reset your phone from time to time.
I get occasional long boot times, mostly after an update or similar. I haven't hooked up to adb during boot in awhile, but typically if you are having a long boot time the odex optimizer is probably re-running.

So mine had some issue & I lost data connection & wifi, couldn't fix so rebooted & now it's really slow to reboot. Did you have any issue with data/wifi. (I run a vpn so thought that might have been the cause, but even with it uninstalled it's still slow, though could have been initial cause)
Also since then installed this months security update but it still slow (over 1:30), update tons took about 30min as app optimising was so slow.

Mine did not have any issues with data nor wifi.
I would still do a factory reset.
Same thing happened to me with painfully slow boot times. Factory reset and restore, now boots in 25 seconds from switch on to lock screen.
i did a factory reset and it still takes over 2 min to boot.. accidentally wiped my phone trying ot install twrp..
then went ahead and installed lineage.. boots fast but can't get gapps to load lol
going to try to install lineage 18 and gapps.

Note: Are you using MindTheGApps, still only recommended package (though someone got another gapps to work, can't remember which)
Also make sure you are installing gapps BEFORE 1st boot into Lineage OS, if not do a factory reset & install gapps then boot to OS
should work fine on LOS 19.1 (or use npjhonstone unofficial version which has it included with rom)
PS. Never hand issue with increasing boot times since installing LOS.
