I have fast boot enabled on the device but am unable to get the device to boot up in the 10 seconds or so that other videos have shown. I shut the device down by holding in the power button and then after it had powered off I used the power button to turn it back on. Here is the video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kDOgM0g1vo. I have tried this multiple times and even with another Thunderbolt and it never boots up in under a minute. Any thoughts?

Help Thunderbolt fast boot not working

Edit ... read your original post wrong.
Try pulling the battery, then powering back up.
If that's still not working, what non-stock apps do you have installed?

I'm going to guess it's one of those apps that's forcing boot time startup and slowing everything down for you.
I have Facebook and Swype installed, so you can leave those on. I would uninstall the other apps and see what happens. Then reinstall one at a time and reboot after each install. That way you can figure out which is the naughty app. Then write the dev and tell them to get their stuff straightened out

Based on the description given under the Fast Boot option where it says "Turn off to use some Market apps", I'd say it's an app conflict.
I just tried the Fast Boot for the first time and it worked fine...about 8-9 seconds before the lockscreen comes up.
And the only app that we have in common (that you listed) is Facebook.

Take it to a VZW store and see if they can help you out. If they can't figure it out, I'd exchange it just to be on the safe side.

Pardon my ignorence but what exactly does Fast Boot do? I saw it under the settings menu, but we never had it on the OG Droid so I'm not sure what it does.

When you power down the phone it goes into a hibernate mode, so when you power on the phone it will boot up in around 10 seconds.

Thanks, exactly what I wanted to know. I will give it a try in a bit a post back the results.

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.

Yeah, the store reps should have all received training on the device. While that doesn't make them experts...I'm sure they are aware of the fast boot feature. So they can try it out on other phones to verify yours is not working properly.
I just rebooted my phone (there is no fast reboot option lol) just to see if that would affect anything. Immediately powered off the device, and then turned it back on...came up in 9 seconds.
I tried to search to see if anyone else had this problem...but only came up with various posts from the OP on like 3-4 different sites

This fast boot isn't working for me either and the only app I have installed is facebook
I ended up wiping mine and trying fast boot again, and it's still a no go. I'll wait a bit an call VZW to get them to replace.

Well I just came back from my local Best Buy and exchanged the phone for a new one and the new one is not doing the fast boot up either. They are now going to reverse my upgrade so I can get a thunderbolt at Verizon. Best Buy thinks they have a bad batch this is frustrating!
this is frustrating!
