Hi all,
Title says it all: I can't seem to disable the device encryption on my Transformer. In the Encryption menu the Encrypt tablet option is greyed out and just says Encrypted beneath it.
How do I disable this?
Thanks,
Casey
Do you have a exchange account set up? Some accounts force encryption.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
I do, but the odd thing is that I manually chose to encrypt through the encryption menu - it wasnt a forced policy.
cant be undone. When setting up encryption (manual or through policy) the device says explicied that only way to undo is to hardware reset to default.
You ignored that so its staying encrypted or reset.
I have also encrypted my eeepad and dont notice any performance issues. I like it encrypted because i also use it for work/studie

Well, dunno about ignored... more like didn't notice...or maybe didn't read the instructions properly....lol.
As for performance issues, the boot takes longer and we have to enter the passcode twice, which is a bit of an annoyance.
Thanks.

Same with my Nexus 4. I m using TWRP to upgrade roms:crying: If u find any solution pls let me know.
You should be able to do a factory reset from TWRP directly.

I had this problem awhile back. Neither TWRP nor CWM could do a factory wipe while encrypted. If you run into that search for the superwipe script, it worked quite well to get me back on track.Should find the script here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892

I keep getting unreadable emergency alerts with some non-text or binary characters with sim-card absent.
Earlier I activated 'Developer Mode' and might have changed some default settings . Now I did Data Factory Reset from the phone Settings menu, but it did not resolve the problem. How can I do complete factory reset or hard reset to bring the phone to pre-sale condition?
Have you solved it, i'm having same issue.
alerts just keep on coming and they unreadable.

No, I have not
too bad. i found alert settings in networking setup section, but even when i uncheck them all i still get those stupid alerts.
Here is what i found on russian forum.
If you phone is rooted, you can install this zip using CWM and it will remove the CellBroadcastReceiver.apk, which is responsible for alerts.
I've done it and it all good.

You don't need root. Only CWM or any other custom recovery
But recovery required unlocked bootloader...
Hi guys, I'm having a problem and a friend directed me to this website, hope I'm not breaking the rules or anything by posting here.
I formatted my phone today cos I felt it got too laggy lately, everything went alright, phone is working, it got decrypted, I synced samsung/google and backed up all of my data and apps., so far so good. Then I went to actually put a security pattern but I got surprised it only let me chose "password" the rest of the choices are grayed... I read online some people said I need to go to Security>Clear Credentials, but that also can't work since it's also gray. I tried to uncheck the Device administrators (Android Device Manager) but that didn't help either. I rebooted, and still no solution. I could probably try "Install from device storage" but then I don't know what to chose? I really have no idea how android works, it would be a great if anyone can help!
Update: I also went on Developper Mode but still nothing changed.
Update: I tried putting a password on and now I have to use a password everytime I unlock it fml... can't turn it off

Basically this problem is solved by clearing credentials and disabling device administrators...But as u said its not works for you...
So, first do a factory reset... Then check.. If not works check if clear credentials option is highlighted... If yes..clear it...and see it cleared..Or not...or what it says if failed....
Disable every device administrators...
And report what happens
I did a factory reset and backed everything still the same problem.. I think I'll try again without restoring anything hmm could the SD card be the problem here? should I format it as well?

What have you restore after format.. I mean which type data?
Edit: there's must not issue with sd card.. And if u think there is.. Just remove sdcard not format it..
Apps, wifi passwords, wallpaper, but even when I didn't restore it's the same problem, oh yea I already formatted it without an SD (first time) and that was when I discovered the problem

If u still face problems.. U can flash the stock rom via odin
That sounds complicated and I don't have any usb cable I think I'll just stick to CM Locker app
Sometimes the mobile heats up too much and there are touch issues that last for around 2-3 days. The issues are basically while zooming in and out of a pic. I am on stock android 6.01. Also i am not using any screen guard or protector.
That's a issue with the 6.x stock firmwares, you can't solve it till you unlock your bootloader and flash the old touch drivers.

@Henriquefeira I thought about this when the OP posted it, but the description of the problem didn't match up with the scroll/tap issue many MM users see since it is a specific app (and not Chrome or G+) and a specific gesture and would disappear after a time.
It wouldn't hurt to try it I guess, although since this is a stock device, I would recommend the usual troubleshooting techniques for this device... Wipe cache partition and if that fails factory default, if the problem still occurs on a purely stock device, it is likely hardware and should be repaired by Moto.

No. You can factory reset straight from settings. But I recommend to remove any Google accounts from settings>Accounts prior to restore, just to avoid Factory Reset Protection trigger.

Hi there,
I have recently had to root my S6 (running stock Android 6.0.1) in order to delete the password files under /data/system (all the .key files and the locksettings.db) as I had forgotten my password and fingerprint unlock was not enabled. After doing this successfully, I was able to unlock my phone and when trying to remove/add finger prints in the settings app, I get the error message saying:
An error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor. If this message appears repeatedly, restart your device.

Even after restarting my device, I am still unable to remove fingerprints or sometimes even access the fingerprint management menu in the settings. I cannot see how this could have happened and would really appreciate any help in fixing this issue.
Thanks

Only thing I can advise now is to backup and do a full factory reset, if you still have issues try a new rom or firmware

Hi friends,

Never seen an issue like this on any phone...
Thanks for your help guys
Have you tried restarting the phone? I had 1 time yesteday too, suddenly, the phone was idle, and when I checked Wifi found nothing. Restarted and then it works again. Not sure if related to March update or some other stuffs

Wow...after a factory reset, that's pretty much it!
You can try doing the reset network settings button (you can search it in the search bar in Settings or find it in the Internet setting on top right button [wrench and reset circle]), but I can't imagine it doing better than a factory reset.
The best/last thing that can be suggested, since it states you are rooted in your sig, is to flash the latest Full Factory image (March) and/or with the "-w" intact (since you stated that you did a factory reset so I imagine your phone is wiped anyways) and see if that doesn't fix the issue. The best 3 methods to achieve this is using the online Android Flash Tool, the tool PixelFlasher that can be found here on XDA, or manually using platform-tools (you must've used one of these in the past to be rooted, so I assume you're familiar).
Hopefully you get it figured out. Worst case, the phone is still under manufacturer's warranty and you should be able to get it replaced with a refurbished if it truly isn't resolved...

Yesterday I dirty flashed March update bmand disabled verity stuff. It forced me to format data. Is it enough or is there a better clean flash way ?
Btw I tried the reset network thing without success

Mmmm...when you stated you "factory reset", it wasn't clear whether it was from the OS system setting or when flashing...
I don't think there is a "better clean" way to flash and/or reset the phone. If you're not flashing/sideloading OTA (which you aren't)...
It (reset network) was a very long shot, but worth exploring just in case it hadn't been tried yet...
I mean, I guess you can try Android Flash Tool and even go as far as to flash to both slots and relock bootloader to get a pure, stock status and see if the problem truly sticks that way. You've already wiped the phone, so I doubt this could hurt or you lose anything important at this point. But I can't imagine dirty flashing the latest March update (or even including disabling the verity stuff) wouldnt've addressed or reset things to set the issue straight...
If it's still there after relocking the bootloader and flashing to both slots, then it's warranty exchange time (if you ever want to resolve the issue)...
*most likely the flashing somehow wrecked the system board radio enough...
If/When this works, you'll need go through the trouble of unlocking the bootloader, and reflashing the Full Factory image with disabling the verity & validation stuff, before rooting again.
Ok I think it's a hardware problem. When I shake my phone, I hear something moving.
I dropped it from my bed saturday night. The wifi module must be disconnected.
Let's send it to Google....

Are you sure that what you are hearing move when you shake the phone is just the OIS for the camera? All phones with OIS will make some noise when you shake them.
