[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohamedYousri:
Still confused and can't find a good price for the 3GB RAM version ,,, getting the 2GB RAM version will not be the best upgrade considering that there is G3 ported ROMs and Update is coming soon to G2 .

now i am thinking in another direction :D getting Galaxy S5 Dual SIM

it's great to find a high end device with dual SIM option ,, but i really really like the G2 and don't know if moving back to samsung is a good idea
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casiouser:
Same question here. The only reservation I have is the screen brightness compared to by g2. It definitely is not as bright and the whites just seem dimmer to me.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butthurtlocker:
Its tough choice but I personally think my decision to upgrade was worth it because I got an unlocked mint g3 for 400 bucks on craigslist. The camera is def better I love the larger screen and new build over the fingerprint magnet g2. Also the screen is sharper. I've got both side by side And notice a difference. You can swap out battery and storage with is killer and the screen can be adjusted to 1080p if you have battery issues. I know you might say what's the point in that since a big selling feature was the QHD but its still an option if you find the reasons I stated above worth the investment. The extra gig of ram is a sweet little ace in the hole too
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohamedYousri:
Yes it's really hard to decide

LG G3 32GB 3G RAM is almost as same price as the Galaxy S5 Dual

Now my decision is i won't buy the 2GB RAM version of G3 , and yes i give up on of my SIMs after the Note 3 and Moto G was stolen so i was a user for a 2 SIM and S5 Dual seems to be a good choice

:rolleyes::eek:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohamedYousri:
My G2 just slipt out of my hand and fall on the screen ,, thanks to Tempered Glass screen protector the screen is not damaged but i can see a black spots at the screen like a dust ,, will remove the screen protector and check if it's a dust or damage in the screen itself . it might be a dust moved and appeared above that screen .

also i hear a noise at the earpiece while i am talking ,,,

:( :(
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calvin Gross:
Thanks all for your advices.

I also hesitate between G2 and G3. G2 is good enough for me when I check its spec.

Only one thing brothers me is about their screen

G2: Gorilla Glass 2

G3: Gorilla Glass 3

Is there a lot of diff between these 2 screens?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eitama:
The G2 screen scratches very easily. I own one and use without any protection, and i got some scratches

Hi there,

according to different sources, the xperia z2 supports mhl3.0. which means hdmi up to 4k and additional 75 mbps data transfer. First prototypes where shown by Silicon Image on MWC2014. Now, over six months later the only real thing i can find is an active mhl to hdmi cable (sony DLCM30) that doesn't need a own power unit. Does anyone knows a announced/existing/working hml3.0 converter that offers HDMI and microUSB (for HID devices) at the same time? I already searched alibaba up and down but nothing ;)

At least in theory, this should enables us to use the motorola lapdock series to work with z2 and z3 (....or I am totally wrong) ?

[Nexus 6  General] rdalcanto:
In the development forum, there is now a method to disable encryption with or without root. Many people say the phone feels faster with encryption off, and battery life is improved. I wonder how much of this is placebo effect? We have two Nexus 6 phones. We turned encryption off on one to compare. AnTuTu was around 51,000 on the encryption off phone, and 50,000 on the stock phone. We cleared all open apps, and tested different things simultaneously. We could not see any difference in camera start times, phone app opening times, Photo gallery opening, Chrome opening time, etc.. The only noticeable difference was when we turned the phone on after being off. The stock phone takes about 15 seconds longer to turn on. My son thinks battery life is better, but we have not done an objective test with a good measurement. Anyone else have real data?
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
performance, as in phone speed is not affected. what is affected is the speed it reads and writes to your storage, that is it. this is an antutu of a nexus 6 that is still encrypted. again, it only affects read and write speeds to your storage.
[Nexus 6  General] BootsSiR:
I bet if you took all the people *****ing about the encryption and handed them a random phone, they wouldn't have an idea if encryption was enabled or not.
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
I've not noticed performance difference either way. I don't like being forced into it though.
[Nexus 6  General] rdalcanto:
If battery performance is really better, i would be interested in doing it....
[Nexus 6  General] slickie88:
I'm not seeing any difference in usage after decrypting.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
I realise this is a nexus 6 forum, but I'm still waiting for mine,

Anyway, heres a video I made showing the difference on the n5

[Nexus 6  General] V1ViD:
I'm still encrypted and haven't noticed anything. Granted, i would like the camera a little faster but no big deal.
[Nexus 6  General] jeffreii:
It seems as though there's another variable in this equation...different memory modules in Nexus 6 units:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/nexus-6-internal-memory-chipsets-t2955045
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
Yeah I've been both ways and can't tell a whole lot. Plus like the guy above me just mentioned we got different memory.
[Nexus 6  General] Xileforce:
If we break it down into its basic parts this is the pros for each.

Disabling encryption:

-less CPU overhead

-significantly faster disk I/O

-less CPU overhead=less battery usage( potentially minimal)

-Faster boots

Encryption On:

-safer data

-maybe something I missed

Now its completely possible that all of the pros for decrypting are so minimal they will be hardly noticeable. So basically you have to decide what's more important to you. Personally I haven't needed decryption since I've owned a G1, and I would rather have my phone run more efficiently, though its possible you may choose different.
[Nexus 6  General] Traace:
Just leave it, as most govs can decrypt it within minutes :)

[Nexus 6  General] xciton:
In that thread, I can draw no meaningful conclusion about the different vendors used for RAM/Flash.

I suspect it's a non-issue (other than perhaps statistically seeing a fractional of percent differences between the vendors). The differences in doing software encryption would over shadow any vendor's RAM/Flash differences IMHO.

I would put more energy and thought in getting Qualcomm / Google to get hardware assisted encryption going (releasing the libraries).
[Nexus 6  General] TheSopranos16:
Has anyone been able to compare CPU usage during storage benchmarks for encrypted vs unencrypted? I think the idea here is that the CPU is doing the decrypting and therefor limiting the speed that we can access data. If that is accurate, we should see 100% CPU usage during storage benchmarks when the phone is encrypted and something less than 100% when decrypted.

[Nexus 6  General] katamari201:
It shouldn't matter whether there is a tangible performance difference to the user or not. The truth is there objectively IS a performance hit with memory read/write, and first and foremost, they are forcing encryption onto people without a choice, on a platform that is all about choice. It is like anonymous user stats. I usually leave it unchecked but I wouldn't really care if I forgot to uncheck it. But once that checkbox disappears and you can't do anything about it, well that's a problem for me. Encryption of my data? No I want my data to be free and unencrypted especially if I may need to access it without encyption keys thank you very much.
[Networking] jatt_inder:
i wants to know how can i access some unsecured network that are near my work place. Basically there are some unsecured network near my work, i have tried to connect to these networks so that i can use internet. However i have no luck in accessing it.

Do i need to enter any ip address in the network adapter or the ip address is automatically taken????

At the moment i have assigned the ip address to 192.168.1.201 so that i can connect to my orange live box.

Thanks in advance
[Networking] Rudegar:
it depend on the wifi router setup

as default it run dhcp and asign you an ip

but that can be turned off

some wifi's require a login to the internet isp's site or telnet to open for internet (i know my home one does)

also you cant really see if a wifi router use mac filtering

for security then it will just not route for you if your mac add is not on it's list

My system is 18.3.1.C.0.21. I believe that does not work for this version.

But Anyway thanks.
[Sony Xperia M2] rafaelrony:
After giving up inadvertently discovered the bug in this version of the device:

There goes ..

After installing 4.4.2:

- Turn off the unit (do not know you guys but my screen was black, so try to remember where it gets things).

- Reconnect and start in flashmode (attention is not in fastboot mode).

- Wait for the USB connection is dropped, and just then, press the volume button down + the camera button and keep hitting the sony logo ...

It's almost a miracle of coordination, but it is possible .. lol.

- After that just follow the steps mentioned in the post that will work ..

- Note: if you can not turn off the system because of open, just does not start after installing the super user, and install the new boot ... but if you do, you must manually install the super user via google apps (not worry works).

That would be great if those kind of how-to's had more details than:

"How to jump?

1. Jump."

1. Flash kernel by using what? Flashtool?

2. How do I install CWM and how do I roll back to stock just in case?

3. Is that -everything- it takes to root M2 without screwing up anything? I've seen some mentions about DRM keys and such.
[Sony Xperia M2] Dzepar:
1. You can use Flashtool or cmd to flash it.

2. CWM is in the 4.4.2 kernel no need to install any thing.

3. That it. DRM keys need to be backed up before unlocking bootloader.
