Re: Android encryption.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not expecting my phone to be updated and for my very basic needs am very happy with what it does, apart from certain built in 'extraware' which is the subject of another thread...

So can I ask if encrypting in this way is intended purely to secure personal data in the event of a lost/stolen phone or does it also prevent nasties which may get onto a phone from being able to access that personal data also?
