General Beta 5 very slow boot

[gno]

Serious question:

Why are people concerned about this?

How often does anyone turn off their iPhone or iPad?

Say you do it twice a month, and that’s being extremely generous, why does it matter that it takes 2 minutes instead of 1?

I was having the same problem. I did a little investigation and here is what I found :
When Password Lock is turned OFF it took me about 3 mins to Boot Up.
When Password Lock is turned ON it took just about 30 seconds.

Im not sure if this bug is only in beta5 or previous beats as well.
Anyone reply me if you are getting similar results.

@Crysisinfinite - Thank you for this! May I ask where you found this fix?

Interesting. Earlier in this thread I was reporting +/- 45 seconds on an iPhone 4S, beta 5 OTA. I do have a passcode. Another was saying nearly 3 minutes.

I'm still getting similar faster boot times, still have a passcode lock. I wonder.

Seems the biggest problem here is with the ipad. I wonder why this is booting so differently than the iphone with ios 7?

2minutes to boot up on my iPhone 4

My ipod touch 5 boots up in 2 mins. and 37 secs. with passcode lock OFF,
and about 35 secs. with passcode lock ON.

Yes boots up way faster for me as well with pass code lock ON, I have always had it off. Great find

 

[lancastor]

Wooooow. With passcode lock ON my iPhone5 boots fast as lightning.

Great find.

Someone should make a poll. My iPhone 5 boots up in 34 seconds with passcode turned on. I cannot turn passcode off since I have my employer's Exchange profile.

Thank you, that was the fix. Not sure why it works but it does and we need to send a bug report to Apple

2minutes to boot up on my iPhone 4

Just now, 4:43 to boot up CDMA iPhone 4. No passcode lock, properly Dev registered, not my first startup after installing the newest beta. :/

I switched on pass code on my ipad3 and boot up time has reduced from 4 minutes to 40 seconds

 

[theonekcrow]

I can confirm this too! On my GSM iPhone 5, I had a 3 minute + boot without the passcode. With the passcode, goes to about 40 seconds.

 

[bigpoppamac31]

My boot up on iPhone 4S with iOS 7 beta 5 was 30 seconds. Passcode on. Shutdown time was 15 seconds.

EDIT: Why would it take longer to boot without passcode enabled??

 

[Nanasaki]

Well, I tested on all my devices, without passcode lock, beta 5 takes very long time indeed. With passcode lock, cuts almost 2 minutes.

Well, that is an incentive for me to have passcode lock.

4minutes to show up lock screen

Just did OTA from beta 4 to 5 and the boot time is 4 minutes. But it will be fixed it final version so no need to worry.

On my iPod Touch 5th Gen, went from 3 minute boot to 22 seconds.
Thanks for the info.

weird, but true.

iPhone 5, A1429, boot was 75 seconds on beta 5. Passcode enabled, time reduced to 30 seconds.

This problem has stayed the same in beta 6. No change. Any chance this will ne corrected in the GM version?

I just restored my iPod Touch to iOS 6.1.3 then installed iOS 7 beta 6 and the boot time was 22 seconds without a pass code lock set.

Before on iOS 7 beta 5 or 6 the boot time was almost 3 minutes.

So, I think the problem only occurs on devices that upgrade from previous versions of iOS 7 beta. Going from 6.1.3 to 7 beta 6 works fine.

 

[la79]

I will have to try this. Did you restore a backup after?

No, just did a clean install of iOS 7 beta 6 and tested powering it up.

Doh!!!
After I entered my iCloud account info, the boot time went back up to 3 minutes with no pass code lock.

That's it, I'm buying a Zune
