[HTC One S] psych0t1c:
I have been toying around a bit with the feature of full phone encryption (not just the apps and data but also the "sdcard" internal storage partition.

Observation 1 (which may or not be known or evident to you already, but which I still find odd): It is possible to encrypt a "full" or half full device, but it seems to be not possible to go and decrypt the device again later on while retaiing the data (assuming the right password of course). Being a long time user of Truecrypt I find this irritating, one could of course argue it is safety measure of some kind, but I really would see no harm in enabling the possibility. As the password would of course be required to get into the system and initiate the decryption process there is no additional risk - if the attacker already has the password he can use it to gain access and copy the plaintexted data someplace else anyways. So is this caused by architecture of the pre boot authorization, just sloppy and careless coding or am I missing something vital here?

Observation 2: The performance impact with encryption enabled is worse than I would have dared to believe. I used two different SD Card Speed measurement apps from the market to test speed on a regular, non-encrypted setup and on an encrypted setup.

Encryption enabled

Plaintext operation

All other settings in the apps and the device were identical.

Is this sloppy coding or are the Snapdragon CPU just ill-equipped to handle encryption algorithms efficiently enough? I don't really want to get into a grassroots debate here over how useful encryption may or may not be on a device that most of us want s-off and rooted, therefore allowing all sorts of exploits etc. but I am honestly surprised by the heavy performance hit.

Does anyone know what algorithms are used? I assume some run of the mill AES?

[HTC One S] AxelRoldos:
Hey guys!

As an avid ROM flasher, as well as an employee for T-Mobile, i'd love to snag the One S and flash ROMs and the like on there. However, I have a concern: How will I get out bootloops/hangs/crashes, etc if there is no removeable battery to perform a battery pull in situations of dire need?

Will I be forced to just wait for the battery to die? =/
[HTC One S] nickmv:
Great question...and I'm glad you asked it, because I hadn't thought about it.

From HTC/T-Mo:

"To hard reset the device in the same way as pulling the battery, press and hold the Power key for approximately ten seconds.

Note: While pressing the Power key, the lights behind the Back, Home, and Recent Apps keys will flash on and off. Then the device will restart."
[HTC One S] TramainM:
Hold the power key the soft keys will flash then the phone will shut off.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] icenight89:
If u do everything possible, and find its not a problem on your end, double check. Use a friends iPhone 4 with ur sim card and check data speeds. If its still slow ur being throttled and the issue is network side.

If that's the case call customer service and escalate the call. To do this quickly when u first call in tell them u are an it technician and u are positive u are being throttled, and request network tech engineer support. Once u get to that department explain and they should be able to properly help.

The first line of defense for customer service ALWAYS assumes the customer is stupid lol. 90% of the time, they're right :P

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xur17:
I ended up ordering one from some guy in Chicago that was selling authentic Samsung ones. It was $16, but I had a gift card to use by the end of the month for eBay, so I am fine with the price.

It was listed for $20, but I sent an offer for $16 that he accepted within a few minutes. Best offer is worth a shot if you are willing to wait a little bit before ordering.

[LG Optimus 2x] Agustus:
Been using LG P990 ( Gingerbread ) for nearly a year. Recently I noticed the phone

seems to slow down. Just to open the Message folder or Phone dialer

it takes 20 seconds.

I wonder if a hard reset is needed from time to time for Android phones.

Or it it due to too many applications ( over 100 ) being installed on the

device ?

I used Anti Virus scan, Memory boost and other tools to clean up the

memory. But of no use.

Appreciate any suggestions any of you may have.

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
You don't need to hard reset, just find out what apps are messing up or using a lot of RAM. RAM is the key. Have at least 100mb free and phone is fast.
[LG Optimus 2x] felixthecat:
I had this problem. Used a ram optimiser then eventually had to hard reset as all interal memory used up. Works like a harm now and gps also working. At same time i upgraded battery to a gold one. Phones like this are not built to last... the solid state memory itself wears out..

Try Custom ROM.. usually has better memory management. or maybe supercharger will help

[LG Optimus 2x] Agustus:
I have used all sorts of RAM optimizers, memory boosters etc..still the result is only tentative. After a while some of the programs start by themselves and run in the background gobbling memory.

Search for V6 Supercharger it really optimizes your memory usage.. If not helps then do a clean install of a more stabile rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] choccy31:
Can't find V6 Anywhere in market?
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
because its not on the market. because its not an app.

you need to download terminal emulator (or script manager) from the market, then look up the v6 script here on xda (we have a port of it in o2x dev section somewhere) and just follow the instructions.
[LG Optimus 2x] LilProphet:
Search for zeppelinrox's thread here in XDA, download its latest version (PDF format), run script manager, choose the downloaded PDF file, run as root (skull icon), and follow the instructions. One of the most, if not the most important tweak released for android imo.
[LG Optimus 2x] wals46:
I have stock V20Q with a Flix123 performance pack, no custom kernel no custom rom, and am very stisfied (smooth, efficient, no bugs).

I tested all the roms available in XDA dev (CM7, CM9 and custom stock) but no one is stable and full functions like the 20Q one. If you start with these roms and have probles is better that you give up.

You may update your rom and baseband using LG Mobile in your country.

In order to have better efficiency, I also freezed in Titanium backup some unused system applications (kit auto, google talk, f-secure antivirus, Email, backup, LG PC suite); no antivirus installed, installed only the used applications and not the nice to have ones, no application killer (android take care of freeing ram).
[LG Optimus 2x] choccy31:

[LG Optimus 2x] LilProphet:
Do you have Busybox installed? Did you run it as root? Cant think of other problems.. That's all you need.
[LG Optimus 2x] choccy31:
Yeah i did and do.

Says can't determin the busybox version!
[LG Optimus 2x] LilProphet:
Reinstall Busybox, or try a different version of V6.. That's all I can think of. But if your phone is really messed up then I'd consider reinstalling it first. With a Titanium backup it would only take an hour. Still better than suffering from this.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
flash a new rom. wipe the phone completely. its "healthy" to do so time from time imo :)
[LG Optimus 2x] sv398:
I second this !!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] markop90:
This is a bug that affects gingerbread stock roms, it is called memory-leak...there is a certain process in background that wastes all the free ram we have in the phone, so after some time (tipically 12-24h) our phone begins to slow down. It will be pretty unusable, you have to restart the phone.

Froyo roms don't have this bug. After 50h of runtime my phone is still quick and smooth. Try nostalgia by topogigi.

Or try cm7, but is a battery-hungry rom.

[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
Does your home key light your strip of soft keys when u press while phones locked?? If so are u gb or ics? Thanks for your input.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
The soft key backight is controlled by the ambient light sensor. If it is dark, the lights glow, if not, no glow. The buttons are very easy to see even in low light if the glow is off. But if you need them to light up on demand, hold your hand over the top of the phone and they will glow for you.
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
I know how they work. I want to know if your home key responds by lighting up the soft keys for a second while locked.... And if your using ics or gb.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
That is the behaviour of the sweep2wake script on Chad's Incredikernel beta7 for GB. Unsure if there are any scripts or settings on other kernels or ROMs that do that.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
They only glow with the ambient light sensor. Touching them does nothing. Unless you have that special ROM and kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbDroid:
Hello everyone,

I've been searching sometime for an answer but I seem to keep getting conflicting information. Here's the gist: I'm moving to South Korea long term and I have a Samsung Nexus S that was purchased through Koodoo. Works like a sweet machine and I'm loath to give it up. I'm just wondering if it will work when I bring it over instead of forking out money again for another smartphone.

Reasons I think it will work: Nexus S seems to have a wide range of frequencies that it is compatible with, designed to be a world phone, etc.

Reasons I think it might not work: I keep hearing different information on South Korean frequencies from CDMA only to god-knows-what.

Can anyone out here help? It's quite confusing to me. If it won't work then I'll likely try to resell it (still in pristine condition) before leaving instead of bringing it all the way over and it being unusable. However if it does work, again, it would save me buying a new smartphone over there which will probably cost me more in the long run.

Any advice is MUCH appreciated. Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stellar:
I'd like to say that it should work fine in S.Korea givin that the i9020 is basically the m200(Korean nexus s). I'm not completely sure though, I can be wrong so don't count me in on it 100%. If it's possible I would contact a Korean GSM telco through email and ask, they'll know if your nexus s is compatible with their bands. I would do that JUST to make sure :)
