Anyone else having issues with reboots? I have to hard reboot 2 or 3 times for it to finally boot. I'm worried it won't boot at all at some point.
 
Seems to be a issue with the JB itself.

I think i will wait a lil longer till the issue is fixed, hate to be somewhere and this happens and im stuck with no phone.
 
Seems to be a mix of people who are or are not having this issue !

No idea what the common denominator is !
 
From what i've been reading its only people who have the JB on iPhones that are having this issue.

Has anyone from the evasi0n team mentioned anything about the reboot loop?
 
I'm having the issue as well.

I realized the secret is when it hangs on the Apple logo screen hold the home + lock button until the screen goes black. Keep holding it for like 1/2 a second, then release it before the Apple logo pops up again.

Then just wait, and the Apple logo will come up and the phone will turn on this time.
 
I have the same problem. Only with reboots through cydia or through sbsettings, it just hangs at the apple logo and then i have to do a hard reset. Why why why didn't I wait a few days for the jailbreak to work the bugs out -_____-
 
Exact problem I'm having on both my 4S and Mini. I had attributed to one of the tweaks not being completely iOS 6 optimized, but I suppose it could be the jailbreak itself too. I figured since I only reboot at home, I'll make sure everything's good before I depart for school and just deal for now. Once it boots, it's all good. No other problems. Hopefully there'll be an envasi0n update in which we can run on top of our jailbreak to fix it, a la redsn0w...
 
Pod2g has been tweeting about this... They are working on a fix for the long boot times and the weather app crash... It will come up as an update on cydia... Hopefully soon...

For now if your phone is stuck on the apple logo hold the home and power together for a hard boot...
 
I was also having this problem. So I returned to stock for now. I will wait till the jailbreak team works this problem out then I will JB again.
 
My 4S works flawlessly after the evasi0n cydia update. Boots fine, weather works.

Let me just say, my 4S is so fast now on iOS6 jailbroken. So much smoother than the jailbreak on 5.1.1.
 
When rebooting keep volume up (+) button depressed until you see you home (sweet home) screen again. Worked for me.
