Help Thunderbolt fast boot not working

[SPD]

I had Tango installed on mine and it would not do the fast boot thing until I uninstalled it.

Once I uninstalled Tango and rebooted (I think twice) it boots in like 7 or 8 seconds.

This was my solution also.

I have Tango installed, fast boot still ok.

Weird, fast boot wasn't working on mine until I uninstalled Tango and now it works. Don't know if its coincidence or what

Ok just odd, my fast boot worked yesterday then stopped today now as of 20 minutes ago is working again.

Just odd....

I think I have figured out the fast boot issue. Maybe someone else can try to see if they get the same?

Ok this is what I have found (on my phone). I live about 10 miles outside of 4G and last night I was at a wedding that was in 4G, and my phone was fast booting fine all night at the wedding. My work has 4G as well and all day Friday it worked. Now this morning at home it's not working again (in 3G only area). I turned the wifi on to download some stuff and ended up rebooting for something and would you look at that "It fast booted with wifi on"!!!

So I have tried it a few times with wifi on and and it fast boots every time. For some reason the only time it's not fast booting when only connected to 3G.

I just got back from Verizon. I finally got a phone that works!

Thats strange? My area is only 3g and fast boots work for me on my new phone.

My fast boot doesn't work but it's not worth the effort of uninstalling apps one at a time to figure out which one is causing it to not work.

LMAO, I turned WiFi on and sure enough, fast boot works! Hahahaha!!! I'm not in a 4G coverage area yet and haven't had wifi on. Thanks for the tip!

@ bp328i Turning on the wifi worked for me. Even with apps running. Thanks for the hint i've been tryin to figure it out for a couple days.

Yeah this is a very odd bug.
Wifi = fast boot.
No wifi = regular boot.

 

[Magnus_CA]

I thought you were on to something since fastboot worked for me for the first after shutting my phone down with wifi enabled but ever since then it has worked with 4g on too.

 

[LoyalServant]

It's worked for me every time with WiFi on. Turn it off and it fails every time. It's strange.

 

[lking]

It's worked for me every time with WiFi on. Turn it off and it fails every time. It's strange.

This has got to be a bug. Fast boot worked for me with wifi on but also when in airplane mode (when I'd get the most use out of it).

I notice that the shutdown process takes longer when fast boot doesn't work, i.e., prior to trying the fast boot.

Hmm, and after I turned wifi back off, fast boot also worked fine for me.

Yes, very strange.

scratch that , took my phone off charge and didn't do fast boot
called HTC again, reset my phone. they got it to work twice in a row then on third attempt it failed .

Took down my info and escalated my case and they said they are going to call me back within the week. I told them to keep in mind that this is my third phone!

If you talk to them (or anyone for that matter) you can relay to them that wifi/4g has something to do with it.

No idea what it could be but I hope some HTC engineer is looking at this thread

mine didnt work on 3g but worked fine of wifi... thanks for the hint

I'm sure I could mention that for some people the fast boot worked when wifi was turned on whenever they call me back. I tried turning my wifi on but when I turned my wifi on it didn't make my fast boot work?

 

[nascar01]

HTC called me back today and ask more questions about my 3 phone that I have gone through. There were still puzzled. They told me they now have to contact their corporate headquarters to see if they have a fix for this... so the waiting still continues...

 

[zeeter82]

I've confirmed this too. Just got my Thunderbolt yesterday and have kept it 100% stock. I'm in a 3G only area, and I can only do fastboot when I'm connected via WiFi.

It's not really a biggie, but I hope there will be a fix for this.

Fastboot only works from a power down, not full reboot. From what I'm seeing at least. Fastboot is a hibernate setting, so it will only work from a power down which puts it in to hibernate. A full reboot is restarting the whole system.

100% correct.

Hard reset and my fast boot works now...

When I called HTC they had me do a hard reset. Then the fast boot worked twice but on the third time it failed. I would keep checking it to see if it still works for you.

Power off = Fast Boot Works
Restart = No Fast Boot

Thats how this works.

I have over 40 Market apps, from Alchemy and Angry Birds Rio to Game Emulators, Groupon, Go Contacts, JuiceDefender, Lookout, Mr. Number, Phone Info, Pulse, Qik, Tango, Where and Winamp. I turned on Fast Boot about an hour ago and it worked flawlessly. It goes into hibernation in about 3 seconds and boots in about 10. I just checked the box, pressed the ower button and chose Power Off and that's it. Now if I could get my bluetooth heaset to work and the battery to last at least 15 hours, I'd be a happy customer.

Mine works only when I have wifi on, havent tried when connected to 4g yet so odd.
