Encryption
As a security measure, you can encrypt the contents of your
phone or an installed memory card, and require a password
each time you turn on the phone or access the memory card.
Encryption may take an hour or more to complete. Start with
a charged battery, and attach the charger until encryption is
complete. Loss of power or other interruption may cause the
loss of some or all data.
Once your information is encrypted you will be prompted to
enter your decryption password each time you turn your
phone on.
From the Security and lock screen, under Encryption,
touch the following options to encrypt your information:
• Encrypt device: Touch this option to encrypt accounts,
settings, downloaded applications and data, media files, and
more under a password you specify.
• Encrypt SD card: Touch this option to encrypt selected
information stored on a microSD memory card under a
password you specify. The following additional Encryption
settings are available:
–
Encrypt SD card: When enabled, new files on the memory
card will be encrypted as they are added.
154
–
Full encryption: When enabled, all files on the memory card
will be encrypted.
–
Exclude multimedia files: When enabled, multimedia files on
the memory card will not be encrypted.
Passwords
When enabled, password characters display briefly as you
enter them.
From the Security and lock screen, under Passwords,
touch the following option to enable/disable it: (When
the option is enabled, a check mark displays in the
checkbox.)
• Make passwords visible: When enabled, briefly displays
password characters as you enter them.
Device administration
View or disable device administrators. Some applications,
such as corporate Email, may require you allow access to
your device by device administrators in certain
circumstances, such as if your phone is lost or stolen.
Some features a device administrator might control include:
•
Setting the number of failed password attempts before the phone
is restored to factory settings.
