Hi all, I recently installed MobileIron on my Xperia Z to get work emails etc. I am running Android 4.2.2 When i had done testing, i decided to remove Mobileiron and deactivated it and uninatslled it, this was ll fine. As part on the setup of MobileIron, my phone had to be Encrypted and this went through fine also. The issue now is that if i go into Security and look under Owner Info>Encryption, it says Encrypt phone (Encrypted) and i have no option to decrypt. If i tap on "Encrypt phone (Encrypted)" nothing happens. anyone any ideas on this? Thank you!
The reason why you had to encrypt in the first place was because your corporate policy required it ... i.e., your IT department configured your MobileIron server to require encryption on your device, so once registered with MobileIron, you had to adopt the corporate policy.
I don't know of any Android devices that allow for decryption. That said, there's no good reason to decrypt. You are getting a security advantage with no real negatives. In theory there could be a micro-penalty in the battery consumption or i/o speed but in reality it's not going to be noticeable.
If you really can't stand the idea of encryption, you need to do a full factory reset. You'll lose all your data during that process so you'll want to backup first and restore once complete.

Thank you for your response
The reason i was looking to do this is that i also have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and with an identical setup, there is the option to Decrypt so i was wondering if i missed something.

Hi all.
Yesterday I got my new OP3t to replace my S6 duos. As always I choose the restore option at the beginning of new phone configuration in order to restore apps and, mainly, to restore my saved Wi-Fi's. This days wifi passwords are a must
However, for the first time, the OP3t inicial config failed, then it started again, more than an hour on "adding finishing touches" and at the end no wifi configuration restored.
I did more than 20 attempts to restore, with factory reset, choosing different backup dates (and even different phones), but with the same result.
I also tried 3 different stock roms from OP3t download site.
Anyone with the same experience? Is there a way to force the restore after initial setup?

Are you joking mate??? 20 attempts you even reset a brand new device like 3x and all this crap for a feature that OnePlus does not have? Hey somethings are built into Samsung phones sorry . I know it sucks I miss somethings too but it's ok I always start fresh on a new device after all it is your NEW phone why have it set up like the old??

Hi Nano,
I don't think that's true. I already did this on a LG G5, on my Nexus 7, and other phones. The wifi passwords are stored on the google account (in google drive - I even can see the backup that says "settings, wifi passwords and others"). One time i even got the wallpaper from my old phone, but the wifis not.
When you setup yours, the setup process run smoothly? I had some issues, like the phone restart during the process (and started it again).

Hello, this function worked for me. Last time i did a factory reset, i've synced my contacts, wifi pass, etc with the phone. There must be an option for you to do that too. It even restored the wallpaper and the shortcuts on homescreen

well, today I tryed again, with a different OS version, and it almost worked. No issues on the setup process, the apps were downloaded (a bit slower but ok), the wallpaper and desktop icons, apps config... everything ok... but no wifi passwords ... the most important thing is missing.
Having the same thing here... Trying to restore data and apps from the Google backup of my S7 Edge, but it won't finish the process. I've had it hang at the final "just a sec", and I've had it reboot in the middle. I reflashed the official 4.0.3 OS (came out of the box with 3.5.4), so the core Android OS versions match between the new 3t and the S7e (both 7.0). About to just give up and set it up from scratch, but that's a real PITA given that I've never had to do that from any other phone. (I've chosen to do it in some cases, but I've never been forced to do so.)

So, I finally got mine to go through in terms of apps and their data, but it definitely didn't restore wifi AP info (i.e.- saved APs, pwds, etc). I'm open to the possibility that there is something to the idea that it's Samsung-specific, but I've never had a setup process be this janky. I did the factory wipe and setup about 10 times and even reflashed 4.0.3 to make sure something wasn't corrupted. It's hard for me to recall the exact steps that worked, but it basically all worked the same until the final setup screen where it gives you the option to do things like add more Gmail accounts, set up gestures, OK Google, Input methods, etc. If I recall, what worked was that I setup the input method & set up the gestures after which it rebooted on its own. When it came back up it took me to the same final setup screen where I chose the option to finish setup, and it took me and and proceeded to install the apps I'd chosen as part of the restore from the S7 Edge entry in my Google account.
I've had zero issues with the phone since, but WOW on the setup process. This is definitely a repeatable phenomenon with a Samsung phone backup and a new OP3t.
But.. did the wifi recover or not?

Wonder can anyone help.. This seems like the biggest difficulty ever. Transferring WhatsApp backup from Iphone to Android. Apple ecosystem is working tremendously hard to prevent you moving from Apple to Android. Its been already a week of trying to solve this issue.
I have finally found a 3rd party app that can migrate Iphone back up then convert into Android format and then restore. ( This switch option is currently only available to Samsung user in free format.I guess Samsung ecosystem is also fighting this issue hard to win people over)
The problem I have, 11T pro file transfer is ridiculously slow. I need to move 6gb of WhatsApp messages and no matter what I do or PC I use ( Mac/Laptop or pc) 11T pro will cancel the transfer always around half way. It just disconnects. Even if I use directly connected USB drive, same thing.
Im slowly starting to regret this idea of going back to android.. Or maybe 11T pro is just a crap phone.. Which all tells me that apart from a good Snapdragon and fast battery charger, everything else is poo..
Help appropriated! Thank you

Hi everyone,
so my issue is simple, yet I don't know what to actually do.
After a recent update via Google Play of some applications (i think that's the main problem), my draw pattern (a correct one) is not recognized by the phone anymore. Whatever I do, my Lock Screen doesn't recognize my correct pattern and lock itself from 10 seconds to 5 minutes depending on how many times I've tried to open it. Even my fingerprint is not recognized (altough as far as I remember, it never is when my phone boots for the 1st time, as pattern must be validated first).
My phone becomes unusable, as it can't unlock. The only 2 options I have are "Emergency call" or "Forgotten password". The latter option just says I have to Wipe Data Format which is not an option for me, as I have important things on my phone.
What solution could I apply, so I can unlock my phone WITHOUT having to delete my data :/
Important to note:
- It's not a problem from screen protector (I've removed it..)
- Generally I was using the option for invisible draw pattern, thus no one sees what I draw as extra protection (maybe it could be part of the problem now after some updates of random apps).. but obviously is working
- My SIM code is still accepted and it's fine, so not everything was Reset for whatever reason, as it's not 0000..
- My phone is updated to the absolute latest version available via OTA and nothing else was added or done
- I didn't use 3rd party Lock Screen other than the one included with the Xiaomi 11T Pro from the system
- I was using Bitdefender (which was not updated when the problem occured), which has the option to randomize pin for applications only (not pattern)
- I've also made the battery drop and the phone to turn-off and left it like that for 2 days to see if it will somehow reset/remember my pattern, but nothing..
I read so many guides online from Google and all seem are promoting some sketchy software which I dont want to risk with unless it's 100%.
Model: Xiaomi 11T Pro 5G 256GB 8GB RAM with Miui 14 (European version)
Thank you Xiaomi friends!
Weird that updates on the playstore have created this problem.
Not much to do, security issue.

Well, I see no other reason for this to happen. Doubt someone hacked me, altough at that time I was using Public wifi in a hotel. It can't be Bitdefender as well I think to scramble my pattern and I've remotely removed it. I've read that maybe if in my pocket the wrong pattern was entered by accident many times, that it will reset, but it makes no sense to me. I'm using latest versions of MIUI and standard apps (not using any unknown ones), everything is from Play Store, as I really can't imagine what issue could be, but for sure I would like to enter without deleting my data :/
Never seen or had this problem and it may be Bitdefender that caused this problem.
No solution without deleting your data.

I was thinking the same, but remembered that LockScreen for Bitdefender was disabled way before that. It was not working for the official Xiaomi LockScreen to scramble anything (especially pattern) as I choose which apps to lock and it was not working on it. It does it only for applications which I've selected and with pin numbers :/ Also I've remotely removed the app support via their Center which means that even if that was the problem (for some unknown reason turned ON lets say), it should not be valid now. Also it was not updated via the last moment I had it working , so for sure it's not this the problem unless someone hacked Bitdefender via my profile, which should be valid also for my 2nd Xiaomi phone, but there I have no problem and it seems very unrealistic scenario for me :/ Also if it was true, they can't change my pattern or pin via website. Problem is somewhere else, as I remember, most were some Google and Xiaomi apps that got updated which I even usually don't use like Auto. I really look for some way to unlock it or somehow make my phone "remember" the correct invisible pattern :/ of course to delete everything would be most easy but that should be last last resort for me :/
Try here to see if the password or account is still the same and works.

I didn't register Xiaomi Account when I took my phone, neither it has such, I don't have Xiaomi Cloud or account, I just have Google account in order to use Google Play :/
Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, try boot a twrp a12/a13 for 11t pro, see if you can retrieve your data using that.
If you're not unlocked, wipe/format data is your only option. Either from recovery or your google account

As far as I know it's not unlocked/rooted or anything as it's brand new phone I bought in November. So in such case, whatever I do or read from sketchy apps/websites/videos, I should not trust and it's 100% impossible to unlock it or recover my data in any way? In general I can open the notification to turn Wifi on/off, etc, but I can't view messages for example, so just very basic things

Interest to have a Xiaomi account:
Ability to locate the phone and erase data in case of theft or loss.
Cloud Backup:
Sms, Calls, Mms, apps, password, bluetooth, etc..

I am privacy concerned about Xiaomi in general, so that's why I try to minimize services used by it. I have the ability to locate and erase data with BitDefender and Google as well, but that's not an issue at the moment. I can do it, but won't do me any favor. Also Xiaomi Cloud is the last place probably someone would want his private information stored from the hundreds available free alternatives, also is limited to just 2 GB as far as I remember by before, which indeed is useful for SMS, but nothing else. I dont see a reason to use it , neither why would my phone do unnatural things. I worry that this issue will repeat, so yes, backup is always worth to have, but I couldn't imagine I will need it so soon and that it will be for such unlogical reason which none of us seem to know what's the problem which really frustrates me and makes me rethink in general the use of Xiaomi, as such random events happening should be a red flag

Hey, also on 11T Pro? And after update?? Do you remember last things that happened before it "forgot" the pattern? And was it also the invisible type of it? Tell more details, maybe we can get some common points and maybe some solution could be found hopefully :/
Yes on Xiaomi 11T Pro, received miui 14 a week ago. It just randomly happened yesterday as my fingerprint is not detected it asked me to draw the pattern. When I drew it doesn't allow me into phone even though the pattern is correct. For me the pattern is VISIBLE.
did you activate usb debugging? and at least once connected with your pc?
then you can get your files with XIAOMIADBFASTBOOTTOOLS.jar
that's the only option you have left before deleting everything on your phone.

Indeed, it is necessary to have activated the USB debugging and to have already used this program so that the authorization is granted.
Anyway, nothing about this program will remove security or be able to recover data.

Guys, do you think it's worth to wait for some "miracle" to happen? It seems it's some bug that happens to other people too and hopefully Xiaomi takes action. Maybe if I can get update in background, might get fixed without the need to Wipe data?
PS: I did use before USB Debugging, but from the Settings. I dont know how to turn it remotely from the computer. I also have installed ADB, but I'm not sure how to debug it as it doesn't detect my phone now :/ The XIAOMIADBFASTBOOTTOOLS.jar I havent used.
I have an Tablet A7 ( SM T-505)- With Android 10 UI 2.5.
But after sn failed update from Google Maps ( from 10 something to 11.75.0302)- wich disabled me from charging my tablet propably.
( as I would say ruin my tablet).
Because however what's strange is that I can recharge when I have empty battery( or atleast <5%). Will I charge earlier it just recharge my unit.
And if I cancel before it will be fully recharged I must use up what I have charged.
I myself already tryed to: Put my unit into Safe Mode,and also into dev mode, and also inactivated the app.
Since this app is an rooted app- wich is an part of Googles standard apps ( wich isn't possibel to delete).
So it seems that this update has affected the " register files" in Android.
But since I in the past had experienced trouble to complete the process in the past, mostly due to new updated regulations from both Samsung and Google.
But mostly from Samsung,since they nowdays requires 2 step aut to a nr wich I don't have acess to.
So is there any possibility for me to reset it in an other way?
Since I myself also have heard of Odin- forum.
But it seems that this forum is down- since I don't recive any confirmation mail.
Welcome to XDA
If a reset reset doesn't resolve the issue, flash to the last known working version.
If you're unsure how to flash it, a Samsung Experience center at Best Buys can do, or Samsung Repair. A good repair shop can as well. If all above fail you're looking at a mobo failure; flashing to the last known working version may bypass the hardware damage if that's the cause.
Firmware upgrades and updates can and do break Samsung's. Anytime you flash firmware you take a risk, I trust OTA updates the least. Personally I avoid doing it on Samsung's if the device is running well.
[Edit]:
Well it seems that every time an new update is released from Google causes some sort of conflict( creates bug reports), and that every new update also requires an system update ( OS).
But what's more stange is that Google them selves ignore this,and their standard reply to everyting is Factory Reset.
And in the end that Google don't mention anyting about this.
Since all units wich are sold ( doesn't matter if it's an Tablet or phone ) they always will come with an rooted OS.
Since this type of licence is some special OEM- Software, it's also disabled from doing any changes to the software( non refundable)
So this mean if you already activated it once,it's per default also impossibel to recover( reinstall).
Unleash you create a new account.
Because however I myself had ruined my previous device due to an system update.
Since Samsung call their OS UI.
What many people also is not aware of is the difference between an update and reinstall.
Update= Only adds something new,but don't fix the original problem.
So the conclution is that Google force users to buy the latest equipment.
Wich also mean that I strongly dissuade users to repeat my misstake.
Just find your settings and disable from reciving autoupdates.
But what's more strange is that the new update activates some sort of Safe Mode= an absolut min of charging ( close to values of discarging)
Aprox 0.5A or less.
So this mean that the unit is charging,but very slowly( wich are similar/ close to discharging).
I myself would see an feature of an option where I can manualy Delete( or choose not download) this app.
Because however this is some sort of Momentum 22.
Since what Samsung says about this is that they don't take any responsiblity of 3:rd party apps ( wich are Samsungs policy).
At the other hand what Google do is that they forces me to create an Google accunt- wich is essential.
But the best would if the licens from Samsung would be an traditional OEM- software, wich I could use and reset as many times I find is nessesarly.
Because that's not the case today.
Since when Google has 100% control,they also decide like an push of a button when they should shut down my acess to their software.

Gookill... had my fill of them. Invariably they either keep screwing with a good product until they dumb it down or discontinue it. Either way you're boned. Typical MS ideology, woke cloud our way or the highway; you'll own nothing and be happy... not.
This N10+ last firmware update was 11/2019, still running on Pie. The current load will be 3 yo this June, still fast, stable with minimal maintenance. Security is not an issue. All OTA updates are disables as is Playstore. Google play Services is temporarily disabled unless needed. Samsung updates are disabled as much as possible; Galaxy store and Good Lock apps requires them. Wearables does not and the newer versions suck. Firmware upgrades for the Buds+ should be blocked if they sound good; use a firewall to lock it down.
These are some of the reasons why this Note runs so well and is so stable.
Rule #1 - if a OS is fulfilling its mission let it be!
Use ApkExport to save time, trouble and to avoid using Playstore for reloads and new setups. For paid Playstore apps, once activated firewall block them and disabled Playstore. Playstore runs a lot in the background and isn't needed.
Most apps should not be updated if nothing else is. This can break them and is a potential security risk.
That's a realistic ( and a bit funny) way of express yourself.
Because however as I remembered old computer programs( the type of license); is that when you bought it once you had it for more of less your lifetime( or untill a new OS was released).
But since the new app based technology; in wich you sign up for a period of time( wich means that you don't own your own copy), so this mean that a company in click of a button decides when and who sholud have acess to their products.
So even if Samsung ( or other brands) put " quality" hardware ( for an example high battery,great screen resolution,a good camera etc),but since a hardware is depending on a stable software- it will be a pile of junk either way.
So it's the same of putting an Volvo BM Tractor engine into a Volvo 740 series.
But now matter of my comical expressions- since I myself is an complete novice in the world of Android( has more experience of Win 98).
As I would say: " Everything above Win 98 is just superfluous"
But however I myself had experienced that there are loads of junk apps in Play store.
Some are released from officaly ( well known/ established) sources, but there are exeptions( mostly from cusom search from Google)- wich are junk( harmfull).
Now matter, what is the attached APK- File? What can I use?
Since I myself found a great site wich has APK- Files ( Google maps).
But this maybe be superfluous, since my main issue is that I need to perform a factory reset ( clean install).
Since I myself had experienced it badly in the past,I don't want to repeat the same again.

Lol, still running W7 and may run XPx64 again as well. No real time limit as long as you use it within it's parameters.

All Samsung's need to be optimized and need a package disabler or adb edits. A stock Samsung as such can run very good. This N10+ is still running on Pie, current liad will be 3yo this June.
Almost no issues with minimal maintenance.

Those tractor engines ran a lot better with plenty of off the line torque and acceleration. I owned 2 80's 240's before the brand went to hell. You could get half a mil miles out of them. 20 mpg even if stomp down on the accelerator from a stand still in city driving most of the time. You beat the turbos off the line everytime. The air aspirated International diesel on the 90's Ford F-250, E-250's etc were they same way, and fun to drive. Today's junk is well, junk.
