Full disk encryption performance? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5

Would anyone care to benchmark the phone with FDE turned off and on? I'm curious how much of a performance hit it is and whether they're using hardware to handle it.

I already encrypted mine. What benchmarks would you like to see? Someone else would have to do the comparison though.

Someone in the AT&T thread posted antutu scores that were 10k higher with encryption enabled. Not sure I believe that but it's what he posted.

Ok. Here is my antutu with full device encryption. I didn't do one before encrypting though.

I'll do one right now. I'm not encrypted.
Done: 64872

That difference seems fairly negligible. Hardware based encryption? What do you guys think?

Maybe a silly question, but what are the pros/cons to encrypting? Especially since we do not have a microsd card. Thanks

Excellent question. Not silly at all. Ars Technica just wrote an article on it yesterday! http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015...yption-guide-protect-your-stuff-and-yourself/
Since we appear to have hardware encryption, there is absolutely no downside. Much more secure. A lot of people say only the paranoid encrypt, but there is a reason so many more people know what it is and apple has been doing it for some time.
Once we get root, it might make things a tiny bit more complicated by adding an extra step to flashing roms, but the added security is worth it.

Flashing ROMs on the Nexus 6 weren't an issue with encryption. Either they only encrypt the userdata partition or the keys are stored outside the areas typically formatted by TWRP.
Of course this means little until we try flashing on the Note 5. But I'm hopeful it won't cause headaches.

Awesome. That's good to know. There was actually an option to either encrypt the user portion of the device or encrypt the entire device when I did it I think. But I'm betting you're right. The keys are probably stored somewhere else.

The primary "Pro" reason to encrypt is data security. The main "Con" has been performance slow downs, but it looks like that is no longer the case with this device.
My work uses Google Device Policy to enforce encryption if I want Corporate email on my phone. They just want to ensure if I lost the device (or stolen) the data couldn't be compromised. Otherwise I have to get emails via a SSO login app, which blows. So to be productive while traveling, I have to encrypt.
Glad to see this device doesn't take a performance hit with encryption.

Yes, the "Internal Storage" is available when plugged in via USB. You just have to make sure you have unlocked the lockscreen, otherwise you won't see anything in the PC file browser.

The primary account can upgrade a year to six months early. When you upgrade early they sometimes make you pay a little more but most of the time I get the fees waived.

Man, that phone sounds like it is going to be awesome! But why is everyone going to this internal memory thing only, rather than having an SD slot for extra external memory?!
I'm gonna go crazy!
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
If they make it internal its one less thing they have to worry about breaking. Plus they don't have to provide a memory card which is probably a lot cheaper making it internally. Lastly I think it may be a measure to prevent or slow down rooting.

You're a bit off. Why allow for removable storage? If you have a set amount and cannot change your SD card, you now have a hard space limit you never had before. When you can't store anymore on any device people look to cloud technology. We all have data plans so we can all use it. Now tell me, who provides cloud technology? Google has drive and Play Music, and they now offer movie rentals through the play store. If I can't store a movie file on my phone I'd be more inclined to rent and purchase my video files from them.
That is the reason why SD cards are being phased out. It allows for the advancement of cloud services which would hopefully lead to greater profits for companies such as google(and some manufacturers have their own cloud storage services or a partnership with a storage provider).
Yea that makes sense. Never looked at it that way.
Sent from my Thunderbolt using Tapatalk 2
It also gives them the ability to release new versions with larger internal memories every few months. Because they know there are a lot of suckers out there who will pay to trade up. A trick learned from Apple no doubt.
Look at what Moto is doing with the Razor. Same concept.

A major flaw with that idea is that if internal memory fails you're screwed. If an SD card fails it can just be replaced. It would suck hard to have to send a phone in because the internal memory failed.

Crackable bootloader, 4G, removable battery and SD card storage, and unlimited data.
The T-bolt, despite its many flaws, has it all. I'm looking to stay here for as long as I can, because I like doing things on my terms.
In early January I get the privilege of lining Verizon's pockets for a newer, but ultimately more limited, device. No thanks. Contract ends in May, and I'll take a hard look at service providers then.
Until then let's keep on Verizon and HTC to honor their end of the thunderbolt bargain.
PS- The thread title almost made me think the OTA dropped. Almost.
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.

I think its highly unlikely for an internal memory to fail. Phones and tablets are being designed more and more with just internal memory. Even if something goes wrong your still likely to just enter bootloader and then recovery and restore to a previous build. For example: The N7 is built w/ internal only and no one seems to have problems with it so far.( Knocking on wood) as I speak lol

Agreed, with no mechanical parts it's very unlikely to fail.

T-Mobile has confirmed Marshmallow for Note 5

Take this with a grain of salt but the Software Updates page at T-Mobile has been updated and the Note 5 is on there. Now we all knew that it would be updated to Marshmallow but maybe this is a sign that we will see it sooner than later.

When this is released by T-Mobile will i need to un-root to get the OTA update? If so, will there be a root in the works for Android M? I am rooted on 5.1.1 BOH6 with Arter97 Kernel, Xposed and the latest TWRP. Just curious thanks for all the hard work devs.
My reason for asking is probably the same as anyone else. I want the newest OS but I want to keep the tweaks made possible through root such as, modifying the build.prop file to fix the RAM leak, better battery life through titanium back up by freezing apps and adding some features by editing the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db in SQLite Editor
Great, get ready for all the complaining about the update not being fast enough to arrive. Only to be followed up with complaints about how the update made the phone slow and the battery drain.

Yes, if you want to get OTA updates the phone cannot be rooted.

You won't have to unroot to update. Not with smart switch on your computer, however it will unroot your phone, and generally when android updates a whole system, root is lost till someone figures it out, when kit Kat first came out root took forever

Edit: I think that's wrong. If you click testing phase it brings the pink line over to testing, if you click completed it brings it all the way over. If you click note 5 under the updates, it shows that it's still under manufacturing development
still shows manufacturer development for me.... hopefully changes.. .the marshmallow leak has been pretty stable, but it occasionally reboots while on calls still.

Save your finger until Mid-Late January.
International versions updated by Samsung haven't even gotten it, and historically they get it a month or more before the carriers in the US release theirs.

T-Mobile update

I thought this was the one but it was a false alarm and I haven't noticed anything different yet lol.

The first thing I noticed after the update was improved fingerprint recognition. I've never had issues with my thumbs not reading, but it seemed my index fingers had to be perfectly aligned in order to unlock my phone. Now they work at off angles and much quicker.
I also promptly froze the Gear VR apps since I don't want to risk battery hits from something I won't use.
Anyone use stock messaging? I'm curious if the awful delay when trying to send a message is gone.
Just a question. With the app optimization do we still need greenery? Just wondering.

Weird thing I noticed was when when I factory reset after I took the update factory recovery was saying something about dfverify tree or something like that.
Interesting; I just had my Note5 unlocked and with my AT&T SIM in, I was able to download and install the update OTA.
Happy to see all known Stagefright vulnerabilities are now addressed.

SIM cards are used to determine OTAs for Nexus devices. But you are correct that they typically don't matter for other OEMs because each carrier gets a different model number assigned to their hardware variant.

I'm already noticing improved battery life.
Unplugged for 3.5 hours, and in the marginal LTE/H area that I am for work, I would be down 20% or more with light usage. As of now, I'm at 89%.
Is anyone else experiencing issues with Text Messages? I'm using the stock messaging app (after I started having issues with EvolveSMS). I'll get the same text messages from someone 5 to 7 times, kind of getting annoying when my S2 vibrates and get's blown up with notifications.

This is what the big fuss was about.

MM, oh how we've all longed for you. Really, I've had it out with almost the whole XDA community over you, but without further ado we finally have a taste of MM baked on our beloved T-Mobile Note 5.

I can say that I can see, feel, and touch, why it took T-Mobile so long to bake MM on our Notes. Let's start out by saying...WOW!!! The smoothness is amazingly improved, as well as the speed of things throughout the entire OS.
The fingerprint scanner has been vastly improved, not even a millisecond and I am in with a simple touch of my finger.
Transitions are lovely! Smooth scrolling and navigating were pleasantly a thrill to have seen improved.
Clean, sleek, and refreshing overall look of things.
The notification bar has been refreshed with a new look and feel, with welcoming new animations and color. I took a slight peek at leaked images of MM's rabid beta builds and was slow to judge, but happily stayed faithful until the OTA was released, and BOY! Was I right because I didn't like what I saw. But with an overall hands on, I've warmed up to the slightly new notification center.
Battery life.
Battery life has been dramatically improved. I haven't done any technical testing, but could tell in a day, and a half, the magic of MM is real.
Features.
I've bumped into many minor, but strongly welcomed changes throughout MM, and would love to share one that I thought was worth telling.
After taking a screenshot, I notice instructions pop up, and I was pleased to see a new addiction to the screenshot feature...
Now! This is how I've expected the Note 5 to come out of the box, and had high hope that MM would bring the improvements. Boy, was I right! The MM update did just that.
I'm sure you have a story or have found some new features that you would like to share. Feel free to add helpful tips and new findings here. Thanks for reading and enjoy your long awaited sweetness of MM.

touchwhiz slowness is still a big issue for me
i love my note 5 and i bought a nexus 6p i was blown away. i've always been into clean android so when i learned cm was almost impossible that's when i realized the phone wasn't for me. hopefully the note 6 isn't locked down like the s7.
You know, I like everything about Marshmallow except the finger print sensor seems to fail more often, probably as a result of the speed boost it got. That and having to have a password when I boot up my phone (passwords are nowhere near as secure as fingerprints so I was faced with the decision to either use my extremely long backup password I had with Lollipop or reduce the complexity and I opted for the latter) are the only real issues I have with it.
Did you know you can long press the Marshmallow after triple tapping android version in about device and play a little game?

Yeah it was a pain in the ace though. I'm a pretty patient guy but that was ridiculous. Whatever, either way it's good to have it now finally and mostly because of doze. I was about to jump to Project Fi but that is a different story. Really wish this device could utilize Sprint towers as well.

It sure was. I'm so pleased with MM that I don't even care about N on the Note 5; personally, I think N will destroy or brick the Note 5...I think.
I own a 6p, I also wanted to try Fi, but I'm too lazy to try...whatever that means.
MM for me is what LP was for you guys, I don't want N to brick it. It's that good.

Did you guys clean install??? Like, started fresh??? Pretty big update. If you guys are having issues, I strongly advise you all to backup and factory reset.

Can I just remove Knox with TiBu or something.
Or can I just flash sky-high

T-Mobile Updates

Samsung seems to be throwing their weight around like they should have been. I have seen more updates in less than a month than a lot of their device has seen in 2 years.

I assumed that, and there is other bug fixes or at least it seems to me. Bixby button responds better to press just as an example. I wish carriers and OEMs would give out better change logs.

I haven't seen any hiccups or anything like that so far. Been going through the settings and such to find any changes or see if certain bugs are fixed. For example the hide edge panel still doesn't work from the lock screen.
The theme is metallic dark

It's the freaking wireless carriers who are in collusion with our regulatory bodies. They are untouchable and provide only the bare minimum required service while charging maximum dollar for it.
