I don’t understand. So if I only lock my phone (turn the screen off) without rebooting it, it is not fully encrypted (considering that the device storage encryption is enabled)?
Something like that. I’m not familiar with the exact details, but there is an additional layer of encryption that applies before the first unlock after a reboot.
Parts of the OS have to be unencrypted for it to function properly.
As long as “auto” doesn’t mean “forced”.
But knowing current trends, especially with Android, it likely will be.
Option to enable automatically rebooting the device when no profile has been unlocked for the configured time period to put the device fully at rest again, which is enabled by default at 18 hours. This can be configured at Settings > Security > Auto reboot.

But it’s a security measure to get it to BFU, where data is at rest and secure, in case your phone is out of your possession for an extended period of time (someone steals it, police take it, etc) so it becomes harder to exploit. I’ve set mine to 12. Some do 4 or even less. Feel free to turn it off.
I wish Graphene would choose a better phone than ugly-looking Pixels.
As far as I know they only accept Pixel devices because they are the only devices on the market that allow locking the bootloader after installation and also because of the Titan coprocessor which greatly increases system security
I remember I was not able to re-lock bootloader after custom rom installation, so you’re probably right. Unfortunately there are not many phones left to install custom ROMs except Chinese ones :/
“pretty phones over privacy” is a wild take ngl
No no, I would prefer privacy. I even considered buying Pixel but I really didn’t liked it’s back camera design.
IMO prefer the visor over the stove top that unbalances the whole phone on a flat surface.
In experience yes but aesthetically I don’t agree. Actually the metal block and color looks bad. It could have been much better with better curves and colors IMO.
My problem is not their design but the fact they are Google phones, as I boycott Google. Also second hand Pixels are hard to acquire for a reasonable price…
What devices are better looking in your opinion?
I’m not phone expert but I like elegant designs of iPhone and Samsung Galaxy (not ultra).
I can’t say I’m a big fan of the visor look of the Pixels (I say this as a long time Nexus and Pixel user) but the iPhone and Samsung designs are your bog standard smartphone design. At least the Pixel is doing something different.
Absolutely. I like that standardized design until better one comes out. Many brands trying different designs but I can’t find long-term usable one yet.
