Howdy!
Screen busted on my 2013 Moto X, and with Verizon changing plans and whatnot, I'm not sure I'll be able to do another 2 year contract with Unlimited Data like I did through a loophole that closed about 2 years ago.
Anyway, I'm seriously considering getting a used N6, but had a couple questions. I did some searching, but I'd like some clarification if anyone has a chance to provide some.
First: Device Encryption. It's been awhile since I've read up on this, but is there still a serious performance hit if you enable device encryption? I've read how to disable forced encryption, but didn't know if it was still necessary.
Second: Verizon Interoperability. I know that VZW now properly sees N6s not purchased through their store (which is currently 0 more than Moto's site... what the heck??), but is VoLTE properly working now? I read in one forum that some had gotten it to work, but some of the posts were older and I wasn't sure that the issue of the VoLTE flag on the device turning off between boots was still a thing.
Third: Hardware Concerns. If I recall, when the devices were first released there were some random slowdowns caused by certain memory chips. Is this still an issue? If so, is there any way that I can tell if a device will have these slowdown issues, or has this been fixed in software?
Fourth, and not a pressing question because I'm going to do some more reading on this, but what is your favorite ROM/kernel combo? Not looking for what is the best performance or longest battery life, just want to know what you currently have on your device.
Thank you for your time!
