Encrpt feature not working after update

[nayan_m]

Hi,

Thanks for the awesome 205 update! The battery life has really been extended with good memory management.

Previously before the update i had encrypted my phone and after the application of update, now, when i go to encrypt option it always displays the message "Charge your battery and try again. Plugin your charger and try again" even though my phone is fully charged.

Is this a bug? or my phone is already encrpted but OS is unable to recognize it?

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

As far as I know, an update should not remove your encryption. Did you perform an update or did you perform a software repair (which also will update the phone to the latest software)?

I suggest that you connect the phone to the charger. While the phone is connected to the charger, go to Settings > Security > Encrypt Phone to see if you are able to encrypt it.

Thanks. It worked. I thought it should encrpt when your battery is full. But did not knew that we need to connect to power source irrespective of your battery charge for encryption.
