Your Android device is a pocket-size container of important information that you don't want to fall into the wrong hands. Imagine your emails, SMS messages, contacts, credit card numbers, files, photos, etc. being exposed to total strangers. No one wants to be in that vulnerable scenario. That's why you lock down your Android device with a combination of protective security measures, one of which is encryption, a pretty important one. In this guide, learn more about what encryption is, how it works, and how to encrypt your Android device.

  16. My phone is huawei and it keep saying encryption unsuccessful and want me to reset phone I tried the steps to system recovery but after I reboot it still comes back to encryption unsuccessful, what should I do help me pls...
  17. I am about to send away my phone, and do not want others to see my personal info. First off, how does encrypt affect previous factory reset? will that data also be encryptet? How about this, I do a factory reset so all data become "deleted", then fill the phone to max with all kinds off apps, so it shall overwrite the deleted personal files. After that I do a encrypt and after that I do a another factory reset and while I have to write my previous gmail account I do not have to log in with it, so I just do not do that. I am secure then?
  18. Never trust any encryption 100%.

    Also I believe the phone is only encrypted when it is powered down.

    It's good to harden all your technology from hackers, etc.

    This is a multi layer approach.
  19. noice
