[Q] Does it support encryption? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The title of this thread says everything. I'm going to buy the Xperia Z during next week, because it's the best phone on market for me. =)
But I read an article yesterday, which says, that a lot of Xperia-Phones doesn't support encryption, so I'm not sure if the Xperia z does.

It have this oprion in settings. Didn'try it.

SD card encryption
And how do you enable SD card encryption?
I have succesfully encrypted local storage, but cant find option for encrypting SD card :-/

It only encrypts /data and your internal memory (internal SD) remains untouched, you might have a false sense of security that your files r encrypted but they are not! including all of your photos and videos on your internal memory

Take the card out of your phone and put it into another device to see if it is readable

Ah, your OP was a bit vague. The others, including me, were thinking that you were talking about the external storage. Have you unlocked your bootloader? Have you succesfully flashed a rom through Flashtool, without modifying any of the options?
My bootloader is locked... I do not was flashing with custom roms... From night,to the morning stop working by himself... I'm flashing stock rom again...with flash tool and Sony Pc Companion and still not work... Its very weird...

So do you think we can't write something to external sdcard, don't you? Here's a simple test, set your camera to store any captured images to external sdcard, and see if it can.

Folder mount, SDFix.
Both can do this, root is needed but on a Z1 that isn't exactly hard.
I already rooted & U/L my z1

[Q] SD card can not be recognized

Hello, So I'm having a problem with my SD card. Very first time when I purchase the phone I put my sd card into the slot and it got recognized. Later after that after reboot my SD never worked again. I try putting same sd card into other phone and it wasn't working. Possible it got damaged..? Then I try other card and since that none of sd's seems to be working.
Tried to mount sd card in cwm and in phone settings. Can't even see option to mount neither cwm recovery or settings. Got no clue what to do next, I am stuck with one option to bring back the phone to the retailer, but before that maybe there is a way around it?
Any help will be appreciated :good:
wrong section.
Which kernel?
Which ROM?
Does the SDcard work in other devices?
Try other sdcards.

Because you posted a question in the general section.
Have you applied the sdcard third party write fix or not?

remove doom kernel and install the adanced stock kernel by doomlord, I had a similar problem and flashing the other kernel fixed it, there more than likely is a fix for the SD card going missing but you'd have to search to find it.
