My phone was encrypted for over a year. It no longer is and the option is missing? What is going on?

I encrypted Z1 last night now I have constant problems with it. After being locked for 30 min or so, even 5 sometimes, it just won't wake up, stays black, and needs a hard reset.
I figure I cannot decrypt and have to... somehow, re-image it with a pure cm11? Or?
While on and running, is there a way to back up all apps so that when re-installed, I could just restore all apps and their settings? Multiple SSO etc, don't want to lose these settings.
Hello,
So I noticed this issue and the local live chat support failed to help me and the only thing suggested was a factory reset.
The Unlock with S Pen Remote" option on the Note 9 is a bit buggy. First, whenever it's on, your phone can be unlocked bypassing every security you've set up.
Having this issue since the day I own it and it's not fixed via the November update. Also it's not related to the Google's Smart Lock.
The second thing about this is the menu which can't seem to be able to save the chosen option. Here is a video of what I am talking about.

For long time I was looking for a way to disable it and after one reboot I finally did it and now I cannot turn it back on. Apparently there is almost invisible "OK" button
Trying to figure out if anyone is having the same issues.
Hi,
I've had this phone for a few weeks now and noticed something weird which I think is an issue.
Every time I restart my A30, like normal phones, it will ask for my security pattern to login for the first time after restart.
Here's the issue:
When I restart my A30, and just leave it without logging-in (say you can wait from 10 minutes to a few hours).
As soon as I login and enter my security pattern, the A30 comes up with "Phone starting" and starts to load up the apps.
So it was sitting there for an hour or what not, it seems like it is on a suspended restart until you login.
This got me because I have a scheduled phone restart at 3am everyday and my morning alarm fails because the apps has not loaded yet waiting for me to login.
Has anyone have the same issue with their A30.
Thanks,
Jay
Have you enabled the auto restart in Device Care? if you do.. you can turn it off.
I am facing the same issue with my galaxy a30 3 month old only
Tried hard resetting twice ..still the issue exists
I'm guessing this must be a hardware problem.
Can anyone help out please
Have you tried to disable data strong protection?
Settings > biometrics and security > other security settings > strong protection

Thankyou for your reply but this Didn't help with the random restarts
I started noticing this after the latest update
Hello, I have a pixel 4XL coming from a pixel 2 XL. After rooting I normally disable a bunch of system services and apps I don't need, one is always fused location. This was never an issue on my 2XL, and when I first got my 4XL a few months ago I disabled it with out issue. Then I guess an update happened because everything was working fine with it disabled and then one day I needed to enable it to (first time) connect a bluetooth item. So I enabled it, connected the bluetooth device and then disabled it again. On reboot it was boot looped, only making it to the lockscreen then immediately booting again. I didn't have back-ups so I wiped the device and tested it again and sure enough disabling just fused location put it into boot loop.
What I don't understand is that this never happened on my 2XL or my 4XL at the beginning. In digging into the issue online it appears that other devices have had the same issue going back a couple years but oddly pixels didn't seem effected (as far as I can attest) till recently. I'm guessing something calls for the devices exact location on boot and with the fused location disabled it bootloops.
My question is, does anyone have any idea of a work around for this? Is there a way to have it disabled and not boot loop? Or can whatever is calling it and causing the boot loop also be disabled?

Leave it alone is a work around

Why would you respond with this comment? It's useless. If he wants to tinker with his phone he has all the right to do so.

Thanks. Primarily disabling it improved battery life and I rarely ever actually need gps for any reason (except ridiculously, pairing a Bluetooth device one foot away - thanks android).
Second, the fact that fused to location is taking AND sending your exact coordinates 24/7 to Google and whoever else they share your data with or however else they want to exploit it - isn't something to celebrate especially with the huge cost of the device itself. I can't be the only one who feels gross buying expensive devices that just log everything I do so it can be sold to the highest bidder?

I've had my note 9 since a few weeks after it was released.
My phone just died a few minutes ago, and when it started I noticed something weird... My smartwatch connected with no input from me.
Why's that weird? Because for the last 5-6 years, I've had my phone encrypted as I have a computer repair business and have a significant amount of customer information stored locally. (network config, layout, etc)
Normally, when the note 9 is encrypted, it prompts you for the pin before startup. (not at your lockscreen)
Can anyone explain how it would magically stop doing that? What's the point of enabling encryption if you have to just restart the device a certain number of times or wait a certain amount of time?
I am with Verizon and on stock firmware.

Edit: I looked at the setting and I believe it's called 'secure startup', but I could have sworn it had to do with encryption as well.
