Concerning encryption: I encrypted my Droid Razr, miskeyed the encryption key pattern, and
almost had to send it in for service. :hail:
The Tech showed me how to unencrypt the phone by rebooting and executing a factory data reset. :hail:
I didn't lose any data, let me repeat that, I didn't lose any data. The device was open to whomever wanted to use it. :blink:
What I'm saying is that even with encryption and password protection, the phone is still open to be used, and your data
still resides on the phone. The only protection I had was that I had to download all of the APPs I was using. :angry:
At least all of my email was gone, but any attachments that I had previously saved were still available, and any files I had
copied from my PC too.
Bottom line....doing a factory reset should be just that, a total wipe of the onboard HD and SD, then load the Android OS.
At least, this time, I didn't have the other problem when I updated the OS to ICS and Google Calendar would not sync.dancedroid
