[Sprint HTC One (M8)] the_darkwing_duck:
Sorry, if that was not clear.

When I talk about 'Network Unlock' I am referring to the practice of a carrier locking the phone to their network.

I my case I have a Rogers M8 and want to use a T-Mobile (Germany) sim. When I put the sim in the phone requests a network unlock code.

I have the code from Rogers, but it fails. This _could_ be related to using a custom ROM (slimkat). If I revert to stock, to unlock can I just restore a nandroid backup of slink at and remain unlocked?

(Can I move this post? Not sure why it ended up in the M8 Sprint forum)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] the_darkwing_duck:
For the benefit of anyone looking for the answer:

I did a nandroid, installed the stock ROM 'from revolution', inserted the new sim and unlocked the lock, restored nan droid. The unlock remains unlocked.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cashreedhar:
The unlock remains as long as you won't do the factory reset with the code in Dialer. I did once and everything was gone. Some code line ##????#
[LG G Pro 2] Lesh2:
I have a G Pro 2 D838 and I've been experiencing a persistent audio lag while watching Netflix, with the audio coming about a second late. This would be a deal-breaker for me, since watching Netflix was one of my main reasons for buying a device with a large display. The lag is very noticeable both with headphones (wired) and the phone's speaker.

I've tried clearing the Netflix app's data, as well as uninstalling the app and re-installing. I even did a complete factory reset. Nada. The problem persists no matter what network I'm on -- WiFi or cellular -- and was not observed on any of the other devices running on the same networks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in South Korea and I own the G pro 2. I have found that I can use the older version of Netflix and avoid the delayed audio sync issue. Download and install the 1.8.1 apk after a google search.

Hi!

I've installed this ROM on my HTC One S:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-s/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-lollipop-htc-one-s-t2946468

Everything seemed to be fine, but sd storage broken. Now I can't even boot phone, only thing i see is CM logo. If i'm trying use ADB Slideload or wipe data in recovery i see this:

E: Unable to mount storage.

E: Unable to mount /sdcard during GUI startup.

Relock your device install the factory RUU, now your phone turn on and all is ok but you haven't the bootloader unlocked, root and recovery, so if you want any other rom you can flash any rom, boot and recovery.

Found the Bug !!

I've find out a bug and I request to OP that several of your themed apps doesn't have "META-INF" folder in them. These includes major apps like framework-res, SecSettings. Therefore many users including me are facing bootloop after flashing v4. Please fix this major bug. :eek::eek:
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] qweruiop12:
Where is it?

Checked not found error :confused:
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] akhil093:
checkout screenshots mate !

These are two apps .. framework-res.apk & SystemUI.apk

as you can see in screenshots.. there is no "META-INF" folders in them and almost all apps doesn't have..

this is why my note 2 gets in bootloop after flashing.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] binary_boy01:
Hi mate,

Your theme is really beautifull and I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for it. However, for all the users reporting endless bootloop, please add an prerequisite to installation instructions, that whatever Rom they might have, must have S5 system UI, installed, otherwise is not going to work.

Best regards,

[Nexus 9 General] bbedward:
Someone asked me if I could put this together for the nexus 9, so I did. I can update these in the case of OTAs and updates if the interest is there.

As usual, I'm not responsible for anything blah blah

You can follow the instructions HERE, but basically all you need to do is 'fastboot flash boot boot_noforceencrypt.img' - followed by a factory reset to disable the encryption (fastboot format userdata, or can do in the system)

Someone made a Q&A for the nexus 6 thread, idk if a separate one is needed here, but that one can probably be shared (Q&A N6 Forced Encryption)
[Nexus 9 General] davy917:
Do you have to do a factory reset afterwards?
[Nexus 9 General] bbedward:
Yes, that's the only way to disable encryption. From what I saw some people already disabled it on the N9, but I guess this makes it more convenient at the very least.
[Nexus 9 General] nextelbuddy:
So when there is an OTA after we implement the no encrypt boot image, all we have to do is get the updated no encrypt IMG file and replace the one in the ota file and then sideload that ota? Or do we just accept the ota and then have to re apply a new no encrypt IMG file and then factory reset all over again?
[Nexus 9 General] bbedward:
Yea either replace it or exclude the boot.IMG from the ota, then put the new one here on it.

Otherwise it'll encrypt at boot up with the stock boot.img, and the only way to remove encryption is factory reset.
[Nexus 9 General] nextelbuddy:
How do you know if it worked and you are indeed decrypted? Will there be a setting in the 5.0 menu somewhere that gives you the option to encrypt thus letting us know that we are decrypted?

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

I dont get it, i flashed the updated noencrypt boot.img file. I performed a factory reset and when the tablet started up I got a message that said "Encryption unsuccessful you must reset the tablet" I thought this was god aka it couldnt encrypt. Tablet finished performing a reset of its own and I signed back in to google and checked settings?security and it still says encrypted.

Did I do something wrong?

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

Ok I figured it out. I didnt UNLOCK correctly. I tried unlocking using a tool kit and it said it did it but it really didnt. I had to go into settings and dev settings and then check enable OEM unlock. When I tried the unlock using the tool kit again this time it showed the screen on the tablet that said use your volume rocker to to up to unlock. Once I was unlocked properly now I reflashed the boot.img file and performed a factory reset and once that was complete I logged into google and checked settings>security and it shows ENCRYPT TABLET which is good.

Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 9 General] time_shock:
Could you guys do a benchmark for the internal memory before and after encryption? I'm curious to know what the performance penalty is like out of the box.
[Nexus 9 General] Migamix:
maybe what I'm looking for is the complete method to 100% reset the device without encryption. a proper guide someplace with the exact commands to manually flash all system files in the official google updates, but include step by step methods to fully reset the Nexus9 (not any other device) into an unencrypted and fully TWRPed and chainfire rooted device.

google needs to disable the forced encryption.

(yes I have searched, all searches lead me back to here, which provides too little information on doing what I'm asking, a fresh rooted unecrypted "Nexus 9 tablet")

flashing stock images information (fastboot commands) seems to be all over the place too. this is why I'm asking for the method.
[Nexus 9 General] Jsunn:
So I understand, I disable forced encryption and everything works as normal.

If there is an OTA update I need to NOT install it and wait for an img to be posted here on XDA. I then need to flash that image.

When I do that, I will lose any saved data on my device and have to re-setup the device?

Thanks,

-Jason
[Nexus 9 General] Jepod:
Thank you bbedward for this! My Nexus 9 is like a whole new NEW tablet without encryption enabled.

I did have some trouble getting a factory reset to work properly though. Here are the steps i did:

Download latest full image from Google.

Factory reset device and didnt log back into my accounts. This step may be able to be skipped but this is where my tablet had issues.

Put tablet into fastboot mode.

Flash bootloader from full image and reboot fastboot mode.

Flash all remaining img files from full image manually.

Immediately flash this post's boot.img file.

Rebooted device, waited for it to finish booting and again didnt log back into my accounts.

Did another factory reset. This step removes the encryption.

When it came up, i again didnt log back into my accounts during the initial setup but instead manually logged in and setup my pattern lock after the fact.

I now am running a very quick Nexus 9. I understand why phones should be encrypted since they are easily lost but a 9" tablet is not something i see myself misplacing so I'm ok without encryption on it.

[Nexus 9 General] _Infamous_:
This won't make a difference on nexus 9 as it did on nexus 6
[Nexus 9 General] di11igaf:
No, it won't. Denver natively supports hardware aes encryption/decryption, and it seems to be pretty fast. I did this a while ago and did some tests, there is no big performance jump by disabling encryption, this CPU is very efficient at doing it. The nexus 6 is apparently a different story.
[Nexus 9 General] macrossmerrell:
That's pretty much what I thought ?
[Nexus 9 General] time_shock:
then perhaps instead of gaining performance, will we gain battery life and reduce the amount of heat produced by the CPU during surfing or apps download?
[Nexus 9 General] markus4000:
Thats correct but at least I had severe performance and thermal issues with my Nexus 9 when it was encrypted even when doing basic tasks like switching between hangouts, g+ and chrome beta. Thanks to OP I was able to disable encryption now and it feels sooo much faster!

Installing apps is insanely fast, even while installing there was almost no lag/stutter in the UI, the device still gets hot when browsing a lot, but it cools down much faster than before. This is just another example of how benchmarks don't show real world performance. Maybe I'm a little overexcited but this is definitely not only placebo.
[Nexus 9 General] di11igaf:
OK. Cooling down faster because of encryption from browsing?

While using chrome its only writing to disk to update tabs for later viewing, save bookmarks, etc. Sqlite is actually FASTER on an encrypted tablet than a non encrypted tablet. Not only that, and I'm not 100% sure on specifics, but I'm pretty sure chrome itself encrypts info it writes to disk. I know it does passwords and whatnot. Its not heating up because its encrypting anything in chrome. It just happens to be using the CPU a lot, and this CPU seems to run a little warm during heavy CPU loads. I'm not encrypted right now, I've been using chrome for about an hour straight, and the back of my tablet is HOT. I really don't care if it gets hot, that's what cpu's do.

Does this help a little in some situations? Yes I'm sure it does. I'm just saying don't expect this to be some kind of magic bullet to get rid of the nexus 9's issues. I also think it was dumb for google to force encryption on new 5.0 devices, especially like the nexus 6 where it so obviously hurts performance.

There is still a big lag/stutter on home screen redraws when tablet orientation is changed. Go to your homechreen in landscape, open chrome in landscape mode. Now when in chrome, change to portrait mode. While in portrait, hit the home button and watch the stutter, when it does finally get to home screen, watch the black screen and redraw. REALLY annoying bug and it happens when you change orientation after leaving the launcher.
[Nexus 9 General] rdelfin:
To decrypt or not to decrypt, that is the question

So for the average Joe (not a developer, and kind of a noob nerd), with a recently unlocked & rooted device with the 'R' build, what's the final consensus? Is it worth the hassle to go through yet another factory reset to 'gain' whatever there is to gain with decryption for the N9?

I think the Battery Drain problem relates to always on 3G connection. Infact I had also configured Outlook Software to check and download the emails from my POP3 Server after every 15 minutes. Apart from that, I was not using the Internet connectivity for any other application. But still around 10 to 15 percent of the Battery was getting consumed every Hour and which was quite high.

I have now Hard Reset my PDA and configured the PDA to only use GPRS (i.e. GSM) for checking the emails after every 15 minutes. I have not installed any additional Software after Hard Reset and now I am using the PDA as per the default factory settings. Only Outlook is checking the emails after every 15 minutes.

Now the Battery consumption has been around 30% in the last 12 Hours (i.e. from 100% to 70%). During this period, I have not received any calls and I have not used my PDA for any other purpose.

Kindly advise if the above consumption is normal or is it still on the higher side.

Many Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] joej:
this looks normal to me. i do about 20-30% for a day depending on the amount of mail I get. this is through GPRS of course. 3G seems to suck battery at least 100% faster
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] basilrsa:
It also depends on the Radio you have installed. I had 1.18 and experienced a heavy drain on 3G along with other users who upgraded to the RSA 1.35 ROM release. Since moving on to the 1.27 radio my battery consumption is now acceptable again.

Maybe this assists.

I have a battery drainage problem too. I wish I can say mine drains within 12 hours. Once fully charged @ 100%, removed the charger, it drops 1% or so every 10-20 secs until ~80%. There onwards, if I use the phone, it drops drastically 5-10% each time I talk depending on the length of the conversation (most conversation barely reach 5 minutes.) If not used, it will drain the remainder within 6-8 hours. I tried changing a new batter and flashing with different ROMs and radios from this site but it doesn't seem to be helping.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hollenbeck8477:
I recently bought a new note 3 and was using h20 before so I went and got a sim card for it and could call and text but not get data(it won't save any apn settings), so I looked on some forums and tried re activating it off of someone's suggestion and now it's just stuck in activation mode, so I went to a cell phone store and was told that they did a partial root with a sim unlock and my only option was to flash or I could take the chance and try to re root the phone but if I don't use the same system that was used to do the partial root I could crash the system. OK so I don't know a lot about this stuff I can root a phone if I find good enough information but I've never flashed a phone before so my question is when I re activated the phone did it take away the partial root? The only thing that's weird is I can't save any apn settings so that made me assume it was flashed but I don't know a lot about this stuff,what should I do. ............
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
First I have to ask, are you on Sprint or are you a different carrier ? The sim card is for international use, so are you trying to use it here in the states ? Before you root you need to get to a stock unrooted activated OS, to flash one here is a link to help with that http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 . As for being stuck in activation you might try removing the sim card and try to activate without it. Have you tried the Galaxy Tools app here is the link http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/themes-apps/app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 with this app you can change APN's and restore HFA activation mode. Also sometimes activation takes a while depending on cell site traffic.
