Power off cycle... how long?

[gbh]

How long does it take on your EVO to power it back on after powering off? Also, it is just a quick button press, or do you have to hold it down for a few seconds?

from a cold boot it probably takes 30-45 secs and you're able to use it. haven't timed it though. faster than any winmo device i've used that's for sure.

Not sure..but I think they were asking....how long it takes to turn on, (to see something on the screen) when pressing the power button. And do you have to press and hold it...or just a quick press.

I find it seems to change... sometimes... a quick press does it...other times a longer press. And sometimes it seems a press of the power button and a touch of the buttons on the front. Still have narrowed it down to the exact proceedure..because I don't reboot very often, unlike with WM.

yeah, that's what i meant... when turning the device on after turning it completely off (not sleep). Takes half a minute or so because of the sprint 4g animation.

I hold the power button for about a second and it starts booting up. Not sure if tapping it works... And I think i have to wait a few seconds after powering the device down to turn it back on (like the device is still finishing up the power down process or something). Do you have this few seconds where the power button doesn't work? i wasn't sure if this was an android thing or not because on WinMo u don't have to wait after the screen goes black.

I have one of the darling ones that won't reboot if you shut it down. I have to pull the battery and then it will reboot.
