moin moin Nathan,

From my experiences with encrypted hard drives in both the windows world and linux land, I have been hesitant to encrypt my phone. I use the Moto G on a prepaid verizon plan, so if the phone dies, I can pick up a new one for $60 bucks at walmart, meaning I'm not concerned about sending it in...

My phones cost a bit more :). I also generally use them for several years
if the provider is sufficient.

Regardless, I've pondered encrypting it, but dreaded the performance loss. What has your experience been on the 6? Is there a significant performance hit? Do you just feel it is worth the privacy protection and deal with it? Is it not even noticeable?

I haven't noticed. I'm also not that critical. I'm not a gamer except that
I've been getting into sgt's puzzle collection, especially galaxies :).

Phone calls work, camera works. Playing music works. Haven't stressed it
much beyond that. I do use lots of f-droid apps, but the only things that
were sluggish were a few of the games I tried.

My windows machine with bitlocker is unbearably slow, at least compared to my SSD machines. And the encrypted HDD with Fedora is painful as well, though not near as bad as windows.

Debian with full disk encryption was fine.

Using $HOME encryption bit me as I use unison and both the encryption and
unison make longer file names. As a result lots of files couldn't be
synced because the file name was too long.

Could I get a functioning display and screen reader, I would be fine on
the phone as well, but I can't, so the encryption is causing me problems
in this particular case. Then again, I'm fairly certain my data is safe.
Nothing of value to anyone else, but still...

ciao,

moin moin,

it's encrypted :).

At least OEM will have to work hard to get my data. Well, unless they have
a back door from the NSA...

If you encrypted the device. Not likely. If you have no encryption you can
unlock and flash a bootloader and the push a backup and gain  access via
usb/add and pull your backup.

That's the best i can think of.

moin moin,

broke the touchscreen on a nexus 6 and the screen went out as well :(.

I have a pattern lock on booting, but can't input the pattern or see if
the phone has been unlocked. Certain it hasn't, but would like to get it
unlocked and booted.

The nexus 6 doesn't have mhl. It does have slimport, but you have to root
the phone to enable slimport.

Aside from ripping it apart and hooking up a new screen, anyone have some
ideaѕ on how to get it to boot?

I want to get final backups and wipe it before returning it.

Is there a super-secret button combo to get a reset?

ciao,
