with an encrypted phone, do you have to enter your password every time you turn on the screen, or just when powering up the phone?
turbo.geoduck, great question! And yes, a passcode would be required if you would wish to encrypt the device and this passcode would also be used as your key to enable/disable the encryption. AdamG_VZWFollow us on Twitter @VZWSupport
One of the problems with true high level encryption is it's One-Way Only. After encrypting your device’s storage drive you can only disable the encryption by resetting your phone back to its factory default settings. This will also erase all the data stored on your phone.
