[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No your phone can be on, so long as your screen is locked. But only protecting from people with physical access. There would be no real way to safeguard from remote attack, however that would be extremely unlikely anyway.

The encryption is so that they can compete better in the corporate world with IPhones. May not help you, but people with corporate information on their devices may have more concerns about their data.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
your phones(nexus 6) isnt slowed down, thats a misconception that most people think is happening(because someone else said so) but really isnt. the read/write speeds get slowed down slightly, to about nexus 5 levels. but the phone, and its performance, isnt really affected.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gk1984:
Try not to focus on protecting your embarrassing nudies and think more along the lines of having other personal information or banking information and your phone gets stolen. A thief could potentially steal this info for other purposes.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8Fishes:
Protecting nude selfies are exactly why it's encrypted! Lol..

Well maybe not if you also upload them to google drive.

Like everyone said, it's to protect the data on it, whatever it might be.

The police and NSA I think would have a hard time accessing it without your password.

If it's something like a rootkit that monitors your usage though, it doesn't prevent that.

I think it's worth it but I don't do a lot of writing; which is typically the slowest link in the chain.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Real world encryption example:

Your username/passwords on anything website related is stored in a database (most likely SQL). When your inputting your username/password it's being checked into the database to see if the combination is correct or not correct. This is usually passed through a TLS/SSL protocol to protect the passageway of your information.

If a hacker was to obtain the database on the servers, the hacker would have to go through a decryption process which would take considerable amounts of time to decrypt the data. It is possible for the hacker to decrypt the data but it will take a long time. If this was not encrypted, a easy example would be that the combination of username/password would be stored in plaintext.

Plaintext: thisismypassword

Encrypted: !KA4IU5NBAK (random characters)

You can read about encryption on wikipedia. A fairly simple cryptosystem is RSA.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
As has been said, it protects data from physical access. Especially in the US, where encryption, whether it is "good" or not, provides you with a LEGAL protection against snooping. I.e., any data recovered by law enforcement from an encrypted device is inadmissible, EXCEPT if you VOLUNTARILY yielded your passcode.

Further, it protects your data from anyone who gets their hands on your phone, like a thief. This is particularly important for business use, where there could be sensitive data stored on the device, if someone steals your phone, you don't want that person to gain access to all the sensitive information on it.

For "average joe", the benefit is protection against law enforcement. And don't give me that crock about "if you have nothing to hide" -- the reason why certain things are classified as *rights* is because you DON'T NEED ANY JUSTIFICATION to exercise them.

The reason why anyone else benefits, is because it protects sensitive information from unauthorized access.

As far as protection from online thieves.... well that's what selinux does. Nexus 6 ships with selinux set to enforcing. It is also what *common sense* does. Don't even consider installing "hot girls" application from China that asks for network, contact, storage, messaging access, because its purpose is to send your sensitive information to those who have no right to it.

Invalid.

Encryption causes a MASSIVE and VERY EASILY measured reduction in I/O performance;

http://www.anandtech.com/show/8725/encryption-and-storage-performance-in-android-50-lollipop

Take a look at the hit against sequential read.... 131.65 MB/s without encryption, 25.36 with. That difference is enormous.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgebizkit:
Thanks : knowing that the police and other organisations cannot access my private data as they have done before, despite having ZERO grounds for believing me to be involved in criminal activity (as I am not lol) and having had all assumed consent withdrawn, makes the performance hit worth it.

And yes I do notice the slowdown myself, it isn't too much to bear though.

What other phones are encrypted as standard? Are the latest iOS devices, the latest windows phone lumia devices, etc or any other Android devices encrypted as standard like the Nexus 6?

My house phone is better than your iPhone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
problem with that is all dependent on what app you test it with. with some benchmarks the difference is huge, with others its much less. which is right? anyways, i do not use a computer, and do not transfer files to one, ever. so i dont see this lowered read/write, so i can say it barely affects me. and again, as i said before, it does affect read/right, but besides that it does not affect the performance of the phone itself.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgebizkit:
Coming from a nexus 4 on L I notice the speed difference : once an app is open and running it's faster, the power difference is obvious, but launching apps, certain UI elements, initial boot up, opening pictures and media etc is all much slower on this beast than it was on the Nexus 4 (not even talking nexus 5). It's not a deal breaker and obviously can be disabled for those who want it.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes exactly. You'd have to set a password, otherwise you're giving Carte Blanche to anyone with physical access to your phone.

Old thread, but I just bought me a replacement Nexus 6 because my old one I accidentally broke.

I unencrypted my old one because I noticed the speed difference.

Now that I have a new encrypted one, I'm noticing the lag again, and thinking about removing encryption.

Is the only protection against those who might get physical access to my phone? In another words, it doesn't add any protection for remote access or Internet browsing?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnie301184:
Hi all,

I've come across a couple of problems with the phone that I've put down to manufacturing, but I'm not really seeing anyone else complain about them. I'd just like to see if anyone else is experiencing these issues or if I should have my phone replaced under warranty.

Issue 1: Microphone.

During a call, people can hear me clearly, but if I switch to speakerphone (or use an app like Skype or Viber, which usesspeakerphone for video calls), they have trouble hearing me. I know there is an issue where the mic stops working for some people, but mine is still working...only I sound very faint to the other person. If I bring my face right up to the phone and speak, they can hear me somewhat clearly, but it defeats the purpose holding it to my face when I'm in a video call.

Issue 2: Screen touches during a call.

I've noticed that when in a regular call, the screen turns off when I bring the phone to my face, and turns back on as I pull the phone away, which is fine. The problem is though, that while the screen is off and pressed to my ear, shortly after the light of the screen turns back on and it seems I've been pressing things with my ear, e.g. pulled down the notification shade, opened an app on my home screen or opened my app drawer, etc. Is anyone else noticing the screen turning back on mid-call? Or does anyone know if the screen still responds to touches even though the backlighting is off? Or is this an iPhone 4-esque situation where I'm "holding it wrong"?

Thanks guys
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnie301184:
I take it the lack of responses means that no one else is experiencing the issue and that I should swap it under Warranty :/
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
nope. my speakerphone works great, everyone hears me very clearly. and during calls, when my screen goes off, the screen is actually off and my ear doesnt register touches. and yea, id rma it.

Ampere current meter for pre Lollipop devices

Please read first the original thread.

Pre Lollipop devices (up to Android 4.4.x) do not have a common standard interface to read the battery charging current. On some devices the current value can be read from the kernel and on other devices the current can not be determined at all.

If the app works on your device

, please report it in this thread, so I can add them to the list of working devices.

If the app doesn't work on your device

, please read the second post and try to give some useful info, so the app can maybe enhanced to support also your device.

Debug info

If your device only shows 0mA all the time or other absurd value then you can long-push the battery button to get a debug info toast about the used interface (only pre Lollipop versions)﻿.

Beta tester community

You can join the Ampere beta testing community on G+ and you can become a tester to get the beta releases (if there is any) automatic on Google Play.

Background info about batteries and how they will be charged

LiPo batteries don't draw the maximum for the full time it takes to charge the phone. If your battery is charged almost full then the charging current will be much less as by lower battery levels.

Is there any specific reason that the Galaxy Nexus is unsupported? Is it hardware related? I ask because I've been looking for a program that can accurately measure the current draw of my Sprint Galaxy Nexus (toroplus) and I haven't been able to find one anywhere.
