What are the real dangers of leaving ciphering off?

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

Leaving it off fixed my wifi slowdown issue. Phone also seems to run smoother too. Any https traffic will remain encrypted and any other ssl or other socket connection is still fine. I don't get what the true advantage of this feature is except adding overhead to the phone.

Leaving it on protects you from people who know how to sniff cellular networks.

My wifi still slowed down so I turned it back on. This is my only major issue with this phone.

What carrier can I take my sensation to?

I've been with TMO US for a long time now and want to change. I'm on a month to month plan and paid for my sensation out of pocket and don't want to have to buy another phone out of pocket again.
So, I do I have any options? Or is is the sensation TMO US only?
Thanks for your help!

If you unlock the sim you can go to AT&T, but you won't get 4G I don't think. Read up on the HTC website about the phone and the frequencies it uses, then Google the frequencies that AT&T uses. That will be your best source of info as I am at work and can't look it up and give you links.
Hope this helped.

The only other carrier that uses AWS in the US from my knowledge is Cincinnati Bell.

Yeah...only plausible option is probably,ATT, but you'll only get Edge speeds...I'd stick with TMO.

You can use simple mobile, they buy from tmobile.

I noticed on mine there is an option somewhere to change networks to att. It said it wasn't registered. Then I clicked back on tmo and it was fine. Don't know if it helps. You never know.
Edit
It is under wireless and networks then mobile networks then network operators.

WiFi tether?

I've been using hotspot for 3 years and now they blocked me? So they want me to pay again for the internet I'm already paying for? There's no way to bypass this $#!T and keep doing it like before?

Good question!
I'm not dev but I don't really think so, it depends on your signal. I'm just guessing, maybe I'm wrong.

Make sure you have the right APN settings for your network.

How do I do that

contact your network provider

The network works great with stock
And all sense 4.0 roms except ics roms
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium

Aren't most Sense 4 roms ICS? I think you might mean AOSP-like roms. What you can do is change your APN settings (network -> Access point names) and the network operators (network -> Network operators).

I'll try

No data issue for me running sense 4, 3.33 firmware. I say( thank God) so far so good!
I've actually seemed to get more bars with the upstate firmware!

HELP! Data connection in USA With UK model drops after 1 second

I am desperate for some help. I am visiting the US and have purchased a T-mobile sim while i am here.
Data connects but then drops immediately in a never ending loop.
I've installed the T-mobile US firmware but no luck. My uk Orange sim connects fine and ive tried the US sim in a friends UK Desire HD which also works fine.
I now have no idea what else to try.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance to any one that can help.

Have you checked your apn settings to make sure your data is configured correctly with T-Mobile?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

Yes. They're the same as those picked up on the Desire HD I tried it in.
Interestingly, it began working but after switching to wifi and back it stopped again.

Thats interesting i dont know what the Wi-Fi would have anything to do with your mobile connection. Also make sure you check your network selection and make sure its automatic.

Do you have the phone set to wcdma only? You will be stuck on edge I believe since the euro sensation is 1900umts. You may be able to switch to 1700 by flashing the modem partitions (not included in ruu)
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app

Yes, net selection is automatic and i've also tried different combinations of data type.
No luck there either.
I'm on open sensation rc1 at the moment. I'm going to try a sense ROM but I'm sure it won't help.
I'll give another radio a try.
Thanks guys.
