Take the 2-minute tour ×  My GT-I9000 takes ages to come "alive"
after powering up. It has been slow for a while, but now it has
gotten even slower, anything up to 10 minutes sometimes. When it
activates, everything works fine.  I was wondering if it is the
loaded software that is causing the problem. Firmware is
Gingerbread 2.3.6 XXJW4/XXJW4/OXAJW5. I have done a full factory
reset and cleared the cache, but it does not make any
difference. Can anyone help please?  share|improve this question
After the factory reset, and before you installed all your apps

Hi,There was no difference after the above. Also, while I was
waiting for an answer, I read somewhere else that the XXJW4 is
likely to be the problem and would recommend to downgrade to
Gingerbread 2.3.4 XXJV7. I have just done that and again, the
phone works great with either firmware but after powering off
and then on again (no necessarily immediately) the time lag to
come on it is not norma
