Default How long to start up?
So I was noticing that my 8900 was taking a really long time to start up after a battery pull. Just for giggles I decided to time it...8 minutes! I couldn't believe it! Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah, I called TMobile about it, and they had me do a battery pull while on the phone with them...it took a little over 5 minutes to reboot then. The customer service rep said "Well since it only took 5 minutes then, there is nothing I can do to help you. Call back when it takes longer." What a bunch of BS...

It could depend on what OS you are running.

I timed mine earlier today and it took 5 minutes, but I also have a number of things loading and starting at boot up, including Smrtguard, BerryWeather and a few others.

Ummm... yeah??!

8900 usually reboots in about 3-4 mins. Anything longer just seems
unusual. I'd suggest that you don't reboot unless you need to.
