I have tried several times to encrypt my device to no avail. I go to Security - Encrypt Device and follow the steps. The phone reboots but then nothing further happens, and in settings the phone is still showing as decrypted.
What might be causing this?
For what it's worth, I recently installed Verizon's latest update which broke my root, so I flashed back to the previous upgrade, rerooted and then flashed the latest update. Before all of that I was able to encrypt the device without problem.
I want my phone to be encrypted, but I also do not want a password/lock screen at home. If I encrypt my device if Smart Lock locations and bluetooth devices will still work? I want to make sure because if I encrypt and it *doesnt* work then I'll need to factory reset and start all over.
I am trying to encrypt my rooter N5 with latest Marshmallow. I have following apps installed - SuperSu, TWRP, Busybox,and ROM Toolbox.
I am trying to adb shell --> su --> then pkill -KILL daemonsu
And immediately I go into settings and try to Encrypt. I get green android screen and then the phone reboots and goes into boot loop, (I verified... waited for more than 1hr). I interrupt bootloop by powering it off and restart, it will boot normally but not encrypted.
i want to uncheck "encrypt local backup" option in itunes i.e. i don't want backup to have password. How to do this.and I do remember the existing backup password so that's not the problem
Coming from a previous s3 user I jumped straight to the s6. When I did have the s3 (now sold) I had the option that every time I started the device from off I could enter a pin (number pin) and then that would unlock the device and then that would lead me to subsequently unlock the home screen (be it a pin, swipe etc). How do I set up the first mentioned in this post i.e upon booting the device from off to enter a pin which would then allow me to unlock the device via fingerprint unlock. I just want added security but cannot find that option.
i have lost a Samsung S5. I do not have any locator apps downloaded on this device. how do i locate the device? there has to be a way. the phone is not on at the moment, but it is being turned on intermittently.

I Still cannot flash stock firmware. it says W REV Check Failed device 3 binary 2. all the time. what can i do ? i can only enter dl mode and cant turn off the device. in 60 min i gotta go to work . and sammobile site decided to turn bad gateway 502 while i was allmost finnished downloading latest firmware.and yes sammobile site is still down.
I just got my S6 2 days ago and it already has a problem with the home button. I have to click it 3 times before it actually registers the click.So I have to return it to EE.However I just rooted it via pingpong root. I'm just wondering is there any way to completely unroot it and remove all the traces of root?
Been using S6 for the past 2 weeks. From yesterday suddenly facing a strange issue.
The device does not wake up from stand by on even after pressing the home or power buttons continuously.
Every time I had to to soft reset by pressing Vol down + Power.
I was suspecting Greenify might do this since it hibernates apps on screen off. But now I have removed greenify from the device manager. Still I am facing this issue.
Haven't rooted or modded it (yet). Usual apps installed and some themes from the theme store. The battery is around at 83%. The caller can hear my phone ringing but i don't get any notifications or vibrations or sound.
I've downloaded everything, just get them to sync. can only change between MTP and PTP so it won't let me mount my s6 with double twist. And i have air sync but no wifi network out at work.
Starting yesterday, my GS6 wont "wake up". This has happened twice now. I have only had the phone a week and haven't done anything to it, root, etc. The only way I can get it back is to press Power, Home Key and Volume Down at the same time to reset the device...not factory reset, but reset as in Power Down and restart.
I bit the bullet and got an S5 today! I set up my Exchange email account on it and emails are NOT pushing to my device. I have SYNC on and set to PUSH. I know the issue is not with my exchange service as the emails are pushed immediately to my other devices (an iPad and an iPhone) but not to my S5. I only see the email if I manually sync. How can I rectify this?
Is there a way to manually lock the device instead of waiting for the amount of time you specify in setting to expire? I have the Galaxy S5 and would like to be able to quickly lock it with a key press or something similar. That way I can increase the time before it automatically lock for quicker access. Surely there's a way.
On my Galaxy S5 I have placed as many apps as possible on my SD card instead of the device. When I update apps from the Google Play Store, many of the apps revert back to the S5 instead of the SD card (according to the Application Manager). How can I force updates to go to the card instead of the device?
I have a tmobile galaxy s5. my friend tried to fix a root error and ended up formatting the phone. now when it goes to start up it just sits there I try to get into recovery mode and it goes to twrp and says no os found, how to fix this. Also since this happened my computer doesn't recognize the phones drive or sd card and neither does Samsung Kies.
I've started to get the "USB Device Not Recognized" error almost every time I connect my S2 to my laptop. This started happening after I flashed the phone with an official version of ICS 4.0.3. The installation went flawlessly, yet I am having a hard time having the phone recognize the computer.
