An EIC experiment: Boot times

[psylichon]

I use them all

Nah, I will if I determine that's definitely the cause. Honestly, I don't overly mind a long boot-time. I got used to it with my old Windows Mobile phone. I'm just trying to narrow down the cause of it with the iPhone.

1. Turn off your phone using the standard method: Press the lock button until the slide appears then slide to turn off. Do not do a "hard reset"

2. Turn your phone on and start counting

3. Note the time it takes until your home screen appears

4. Note the time it takes until your carrier logo and bars appear

Now, if you wouldn't mind, please submit your results in the following format:

1. iPhone type (V1 or 3G)
2. Firmware version
3. Jailbroken? If so, on a Mac or PC?
4. Time from power on to homescreen (in seconds)
5. Time from power on to carrier logo/bars (in seconds)

Sorry to be so anal about it, but I think this might be interesting...

My phone's syncing right now. I'll post mine later.

1. V1 8 gig, 168 songs/audio podcasts, 52 video podcasts, 3.3gb available
2. 2.1
3. Yep, by an iMac in Windows, but I only jailbroke it to activate (I have Installer and Cydia but I haven't used them)
4. 47 seconds
5. I'm in airplane mode, as I don't have AT&T service

125 App Store apps, 0 Installer/Cydia apps.

New test since I Jailbroke.

1. iPhone V1
2. 2.1
3. Jailbroken on Windows XP PC
4. Time from power on to homescreen 36 seconds
5. Time from power on to carrier logo/bars 0 seconds
Second time was 37 senconds
23 iTunes apps and so far just OpenSSH installed

I had myphone in front of PC speakers while it booted. You could hear it contact the network about 7-10 seconds before the home screen came up.
