Android Phone Encryption
    #18434173 - 06/17/13 09:42 PM (10 years, 10 months ago)

http://support.google.com/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1663755

If I take my android phone and simply go through those steps to encrypt my phone, and every night before I go to bed I power down my phone and I enter the PIN each morning to ensure I'm the one?

What is now encrypted?  My phone calls and text messages?  My emails?

Are messages sent to friends without phone encryption exposing me?

Is there any use in enacting this encryption?

Thanks!

It depends on the type of encryption. If you use a full disk encryption, it will encrypt everything, text messages, images, etc.. However if your phone is on, everything is decrypted. So make sure you power down your phone. However for a short duration after your phone is powered down, data will temporarily exist in your RAM.

As far as  I know, it is very easy to break android disk encryption.
