How is the silicone case for tackiness as they can be dust/fluff magnets, I usually go for TPU cases because of this.

[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] ThE_SoUrCe:
Wikl the tempered glass cover the whole face of the tablet? I've been seeing a lot of tempered glass which is at least a millimeter short on all sides
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] geminiahmed:
The silicone case does pick up dust but since it's foodgrade silicone it is easy to wash plus it's the most rugged sturdy light weight silicone case I have ever owned...

As far as the tempered glass skinomi protector goes. Yes a 1mm space around the entire edged exists but I like it...

Do use a stylus, and if so do you run into any issues with the tempered glass?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Hello! So I just have some questions about the forced encryption on the Nexus 6. I will be getting a Nexus 6 very soon here, and I like custom ROMs and custom software. Questions are:

1) Can I install a custom ROM without even messing with the forced encryption? In other words, can I ignore that it's there and just unlock bootloader, install custm recovery, and flash a ROM and gapps? Will it just run with the encryption on?

2) If I do disable the encryption, can I use the normal software update? (with no custom ROM of course in this case) Or will I have to reflash the encrypted kernel to system update?

3) Do some custom ROMs just disable the encryption by default?

And

4) If it get stuck in a boot loop because of a kernel issue, is this easy fixable? Or is it a hard brick that can't be recovered?

Thanks in advance everyone! :D
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Othoric:
1. Yes

2. You can't update with any modifications to the system. Meaning you must have stock recovery, no root, etc.

3. Yes (They don't FORCE encryption meaning if your unencrypted already you will stay unencrypted.)

4. Yes
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Thanks for the quick response! Much appreciated. On my fourth question, did you mean that's easily fixable? Or like, yes that's a hard brick? And also, (question 3) you say that a custom ROM won't force it, but if you're still encrypted when you flash the ROM, does that mean you can just turn it off in your settings with a ROM? Or do you stay encrypted? Or how does that work?

EDIT: (question 2) if I used a toolkit to reflash a stock image, that's clean enough for a normal system update right? After that and relocking the bootloader?

Sorry for all the questions, I just wanna know these things before I go fork out $600 for a device that I intend to mod! :P
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
To be unencrypted, you must format data. Do not use toolkits unless you know how to use ADB/fastboot. Yes this phone is hard to brick as long as the bootloader is unlocked.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
3. its the kernel, not rom, that makes you be abke to decrypt, not rom. it might be added to a rom as well, but it would be in its kernel. also, ot doesnt decrypt, it gives you the option to decrypt. but you have to do it, decrypt.

4 easily fixable. you have to learn the very basics of it though. rrally. but its extremely easy to fix.

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

learn to do it right the first time. it sounds hard and complicated, but its extremely easy after you do it all manually the first time. after that, feel free to use a toolkit. it wont save you time btw, doing it right takes just 3-5 minutes after the first time :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Thanks guys! Much appreciated! If things were to go horribly wrong with the kernel if I did decrypt it and it bricked because of a kernel issue, would flashing a stock image still be a fix for a kernel problem? (with the bootloader unlocked of course). I'm not new to Android modding, I have a phone running a CM nightly right now, but this encryption thing and messing with a phones kernel scares me a bit haha
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Flashing any rom also flashes a kernel, so you've already done it before. Its no different here
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Alright, custom ROMs contain kernels. I've heard that before but wasn't sure haha Thanks everyone!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
every rom haa a kernel in it. a rom can not run without a kernel. a kernel is like what will connect the cpu and hardware with the os.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
The first question you need to answer is:

'Why decrypting?'

When the answer contains words like 'speed' or 'performance' than you may consider to leave your N6 encrypted.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
right :good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Well, I've heard from many sources that the encryption in the phone just KILLS battery life, and if you turn off the encryption, it nearly triples the battery life. Is this true? Because it would be a waste if the phones battery is abysmal for such a great device! From anyone's experience here, should I not worry about it and just leave the device encrypted?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Choristav:
I wouldn't say it triples battery, just increases the NAND read/write speed performance. Battery could take a hit as opening apps takes longer when encrypted.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
Apps aren't encrypted. If they were we couldn't pull them from phone to decompile and mod them. Only your data is and it is only a few KBs per app. Only notice encryption on large personal files and downloads. :cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
im encrypted, and my n6 sees between 5.5-7 hours sot. thats more than most unencrypted phones see!

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

battery life is all about how you personally use the device, how you set it up, which apps you use, and your phone/data signal quality. everything else plays a minor role for battery.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Alright! So if I just ignore the encryption and install a ROM, it won't pose a problem at all? I can say, leave it encrypted and install a cm ROM without issue? And because of the encryption, do operations like installing a zip and formatting the device take a lot longer? I'm using a Galaxy Note 2 right now and the ROM installations take mere seconds to install, so a Nexus 6 might be something different. :p
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
Only problems you will notice is all the CM bugs. :p:cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
formatting is how you decrypt. besides decrypting, theres no need to ever format your device. installing a zip it depends on the zip, generally its fast. flashing a zip is fast. what will be slowed down is tranafering a large file to your computer to or from a pc.

oh, and cm does get many bugs, often.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Oh yea! Bugs for sure! I'm running a cm nightly right now on my Note 2 and it's buggy as hell haha I just like messing with ROMs really, I will probably leave it stock and rooted for the most part :p Just like to see new ROMs and tweaks and stuff. Thanks guys! You all helped a ton! I will probably buy a Nexus 6! :D
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
.

I have tried decryption with the Chroma and CM Roms. I did not notice more performance in daily use.

Then 5.1.1 arrives with some confusion because Google presented several factory images for the N6. I went back to stock and waited for the OTA.

After flashing the OTA and Franco's kernel my battery life was about the same.

Of course it depends on the daily use, but for me it was clear that not decrypting causes better battery life but the kernel.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Encryption slows down read/write speeds. It's software encryption so it also has a CPU overhead, adding more cycles to operations, using more power and taking CPU cycles from where they're needed.

Some people claim they can't notice a difference. Some claim the can. Who is correct? Dunno, but having dealt with encryption before, id say id notice
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
When using a benchmark app. There must be difference. Encrypted must be slower because of the arguments you wrote in your posts.

Decryption gave me the 'feeling' it was faster.

But after a day.....etc.

A disadvantage is also the hassle with formatting.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The formatting happens once. And yeah it may feel faster initially but as you get used to it, you'd have to encrypt again to notice the difference. Buy a fast car, it will feel fast at first but eventually it becomes the norm. Only when you drive a slower car, will the faster car feel faster again. Same with Nexus 6. Doesn't seem big to me, until go back to Nexus 5.

Working in IT support, have had a lot of issues with encryption, so I wont use it myself. Thats my reason.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Hey all, another noob question about the nexus 6, all nexus 6 devices, no matter where they're bought, google store, t-mobile, verizon etc. are all shamu right? Just international unlocked? There's no such thing as a shamutmo or a shamuvzw? The only reason I ask is because the google page with the stock images for the device say things like "t-mobile ONLY". This is for the Android 5.1.1 images. https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
All are Shamu. All roms work.on all nexus 6. Though if you are on TMO, you won't have wifi calling unless you have that tMO build.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
So all that is is a stock ROM with T-Mobile's WiFi calling built in? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
Yes. That is all it is. :cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
So in theory, all of those 5.1.1 builds would work on all Nexus 6 devices? They wouldn't boot loop or anything weird like that?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not in theory. In practice
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
What do you mean? Trial and error?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You've never heard of in theory and in practice?

Theory: what we think will happen

Practice : what will actually happen (practical)

In theory, we could put a monkey brain in a human, but in practice it didn't quite work out.

Or

In theory, we could flash any nexus 6 stock rom on any other nexus 6. In practice, we found this to be true
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZombieBoy452:
Hi.

My problem is that I was going to put on my Moto G 2013 the Xposed Installer for lollipop (CM12.1). So I flashed the Zip in the TWRP recovery (v. 2.8.6.0) and it rebooted it and it showed me the bootloader warning and then the screen turned black and it didn`t turn on.

Before flashing the zip I made a backup, so i restored it but it made the same thing (bootloader warning and black screen).

I entered the recovery to make a Wipe Data/Factory Reset and while it was making the process the screen freezed.

I changed the recovery to CWM and made the Wipe Data/Factory Reset and it made the same thing (screen freezed)

Again, changed the recovery again to TWRP. But in bootloader mode I selected Recovery and it showed me the image TWRP, so then the screen went black and the Bootloader Warning sign showed and again, the screen went black and the phone didn`t turned on.

Can you help me guys? Please Help!!!!

Hi couldn't find answer, have unrooted version official lollipop.Is it already any method for root phone?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paysen:
The problem:

My Z3 isn't charging at all, it's showing the charging screen and the red led is glowing for a few seconds, then it's turning off, showing the charging screen and the red led for a few seconds, turning off and repeats that without actually charging the phone. I can't turn it on, but I am able to get into flashmode by holding down the volume button and connecting it to my pc.

I already flashed the stock image. It's rooted and was running the latest official image. Locked Bootloader.

A few days ago it started changing the battery status every few minutes. Going from 12 to 50%, staying on it for a few minutes, going back to 20, to 6, just random numbers.

I used it today when it suddenly powered off. Despite being charged for one and a half hour in my car with the dock connector. Since then I am not able to turn it on or charge it.

What I already did:

Testing multiple chargers and cables, incl dock connector.

Tried to backup it with adb console, however it can't connect to my device. But I have zero experience with ADB, so I tried the flash tool from androxyde. It's connecting in flashmode and I was able to flash a stock image.

Am I able to backup the phone from the flashmode?

If not, am I able to wipe it so the service isn't able to view my personal data?

I hope somebody can help me :crying:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paysen:
I was able to charge the phone now, I used both, the dock connector AND the USB connector cable. I don't know if it's damaging the battery but it seems to be broken anyway. Still giving out random numbers (was normal until it went past 10%, now it's jumping between 50% and the real number.

Sad thing is, I wiped all the data on the phone. Good thing is, if it wouldn't have turned on, nobody would be able to see my personal data.

It's time to give it to a service point I guess. I hope I get a new phone btw, seemed to have a faulty antenna as well the last weeks.

Configuration is key, on their site if I pick black front 16GB, green back, blue accent it says "estimated DELIVERY august 11" which isn't bad at all. Of course I got a 1GB model from best buy to try out first though and it is not quite living up to expecations. It runs well and is great at home, but drops signal a lot and then doesn't pick it back up, drops LTE even when signal isn't weak. I'm not sure what's going on, but I've never seen a phone do this poorly before at holding cell signal. Going to test over the next week and pray it was just T-mobile having issues today in the area, or that the phone is just defective.

Im on 5.1.1 G625i LATAM 64gb. Using stock everything, not rooted.

If i got it right there's 2 types of root:

1. Tripping KNOX: No issues but increasing counter.

2. Not tripping KNOX: disables fingerprint and call sound, but there's a fix for call issue.

Is these information correct? Also, is there any link to go on the #1 (tripping knox)? This forum is kinda weird, stuff are not that organized, can't find stuff easily.

SM-G925I on 5.1.1 stock?

sadly I believe there is only one option for you. which is CF-AutoRoot.

AutoRoot flashes your phone with the root binary and will trip Knox.

The non-Knox tripping option which you alluded to is called PingPongRoot and utilizes an exploit that was patched between 5.0.2 and 5.1.1.

There is a third option but it is only available on the T-Mobile variant of the S6E. (SM-G925F I believe).

Anyone please verify :D

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
You do know desktop class CPUs categorize both laptops and desktops right? There can be differences in architecture, clock speeds, CPU nm size/limit, etc... but essentially the same CPUs can be used in either.

The OP's scores have to be taken into context of being compared to other like devices. I would assume these scores are not universal thus eliminating any direct comparison between a mobile cpu and laptop/desktop cpu.

It should also be noted that mobile devices simply do not have the capacity to output the necessary power to properly supply a laptop/desktop CPU.
