Hi mates,
I've 3 days with my 6P and i'm wondering if is there a better performance with a decrypted phone, or it does not matter really.
Iam encrypted at the moment, just wondering if i should decrypt it, and what would be the benefits if i decrypt the phone?
Thanks in advance.
I doubt if you'd notice any difference in day to day use, so unless you put an encrypted unit next to a decrypted one and run benchmarks I don't see the benefit.

Be a rebel and decrypt. Be part of the decrypt crew, I am. ?✌haha. In TWRP if your not encrypted your flashes are faster. That's about all I've noticed really but I stay unencrypted.

Did you notice any difference in regards to battery life?

No there's no difference in battery. Some say decrypted is faster but I don't know.. I never could really tell s difference myself.

Ok thanks. And one last question, does the nexus 6p usuable storage get reduced to 23gb instead of 25gb when decrypting /formatting internal storage???
I've 'heard' someone claim their usuable storage was 2gb's less. Got no clue what else they did tho...
But I do like the sound of faster flashes in twrp If decrypting /formatting has no negative effect... I'll do it just for faster flashing! Wipe it down clean lol

I'm thinking about it as I got my old phone stolen and was stupid enough to not have any security apps and such so that was a loss. So now I'm deciding if I should. Does this slow down my phone?

There are other articles if you search google for "does encryption slow down android"
I'm curious to know how much of a performance hit the nexus 4 will take after encryption.... But I'm not testing that loll

I'm interested on trying this
I have a friend who encrypted his Nexus 4 and he says there is no noticeable slow down

OK I'm going to do it!
If I copy/paste to a PC my encrypted nexus 4 phone (to unencrypt it with a master reset)... Will I have some problems?

You mean like transferring files? There should be no problem
The encryption is more for protection against someone finding your phone when it's turned off. When you turn the phone on you are required to put a pin number in before it can even boot. One you have entered this you should be able to do anything a non encrypted phone can do

I'm actually having a lot of problems with 4.2 to Copy internal memory to my PC (using this "MTP" option).
this is off-topic:
For instance, now i have like 40 items on internal memory (40 folders) i'm trying to copy all of them (except sdcard folder) and when the copy/paste is finished, only half of them are passed to my PC. I'm started having this kind of problems in 4.2.X
So i wanted to know if encryption will make all this even more...problematic.

Well im not sure about this because i can copy all files just fine...

Tried with OS X too, and had the same problem....(too much time calculating the estimated time or preparing to copy...but when it starts..it only copies a few folderss).
I'm going to try to copy/paste with 4 selections of 10 items (folders) instead of one of 40 that always fails. As far as i see...the "android/data" folder is one of the main problems here.
After doing this...i'll try to encrypt my phone.

I failed you...i won't try this...because another thing ( i didnt know ) just appeared...
The reason: After encryption i won't be able to user Pattern Unlock. Only PIN or PASSWORD unlock.

There are security options available that shouldn't slow down your phone... I use TrustChip to secure my phone, and TrustCall along with it to encrypt my calls, or if I am sending a file for work. I don't need to be logged into a server to use it, so it doesn't drain the battery or slow down my phone.

I usually just use AirDroid instead of MTP, since wifi transfering seems faster than USB when using it as a MTP device, I kind of miss the old USB mounting style, least could be read/written directly.
Nexus 6P takes well over one mine to bootup compare to my Note 5 20 second.
what could be the cause of this? could it be from android 6 ?
Mine does, too, but I don't know why boot time would ever be a concern to me.

Never rebooted. I'll check it out 2016

Not a concern at all but when I rooted my nexues, flash recovery or update to 6.0.1 I noticed this. Since this is my first nexus I was wondering why would it take this long.

Verified boot takes an extra ten seconds, from what I hear, just to show you that message. So maybe it's an unlocked bootloader?
I'm guessing device encryption has something to do with it.

Phone is being decrypted at each boot. That's normal, nothing to worry about.

Hi
I would like to only use my fingerprint same with previous model. But with the S7, each time I switch off/on the phone, I am first prompted to enter a password, then the fingerprint will work till the next switch off/reboot. Is there a way to take rid of that password? I would like it to be prompted only in case fingerprint does not work.
Thanks
Phil
Marshmallow feature I believe. Nexus 6P does the same.

I think this is for extra security when the device has been switched off. I don't see a problem with entering your password once every restart, it takes a few seconds.

Thx guys! So, new android feature... Cheers

Yup. This actually good. As a tech you'd be surprised how many people forgot those passwords.
I want the option to disabe/enable my SIM-cards like in OOS. Reason is simple, SIM 2 is my work-number and I dont want work-related calls when I'm off.
I thought roms for a dual sim-phone like OP2 should have SIM-management as a basic function but hell no it seems, havent found one non OOS custom rom yet.
Anyone found such ROM yet?
I know I'm not the only one looking for this and it's getting frustating since I really long for all that custom candy in othor roms.
Regards,
/m
The H2 Os MM beta has it. I miss the feature also, but the other advantages of CM 13 outweigh it, so I just don't answer my work number after hours.
I don't understand every rom has the option to disable second SIM.
Settings/ SIM cards /
There's a toggle to switch off sim
You mean like a widget or quick tile?

Not an option for me unfortunately, and besides that having both sims active all the time drains battery noticable faster.
Dont like the h2 OS unfortunately, prefere cm or aosp-rom but thanks anyhow.

What cm or aosp-rom have that option? Only I've seen is tipsy rom, but it is not working. Only gives the message " Deactivation failed" when pressing the toggle. Developer is informed and confirmed it's not working.
In bliss-rom and other cm13-based there is no switch, just sim-info.
I hope I'm wrong and you can show me the opposite
A widget (dual sim control) I already have, but problem is it's not working on cm13 or aosp, just OOS.
I have the same problem. Found no solution until now. Garak and Mahdi sad that this must be fixed by cm.

Great news and I totally agree. How one can create a ROM for a dualsim phone and NOT include sim-management is beyond me. It is a basic function for the phone, not a wanted feature.
If there is a technical explanation to why it vas not been implemented I can understand , but if it's due to poor prioritizing, it's just wierd. Anyhow, all you developers do terrific job, not here to flame. I'm just so damn eager to use all those awesome Roms you make!
You're totally right, the slider to turn off the option is there but don't work.
Sorry I took for granted, never tried that option since I never turn off second SIM.

I've been on it from day one and all is good so far
You can read the other several threads in the General section to answer your question. FYI this is in the wrong section.
I think you can go ahead. i am already using this as my daily driver. And its quiet nice.
With my my day to day use i cannot tell that it is beta its already in a better state
I installed it within days of receiving my 6P. There are a couple bugs obviously. Some apps won't run but nothing too bad. Some display issues but overall I'm happy. Only thing I miss is root

Well may be. This is my first non-Samsung phone in a while. To prove it I am still not sure whether there is a fuse like Knox and the 6P. kind of scared to unlock and route due to the pain I had with the note 5 and not being able to use Samsung pay four Google pay … Or warranty I guess LOL

Yes, it is available
I ran it for about a day or so, and to be honest it was stable for the most part but sluggish in some areas and some of the apps I use regularly started crashing and such. But it's definitely something I looking forward to once it's fully released/stable
