Android supports entire phone encryption since probably version

but I guess than as soon as the password is given you need to logout to be protected
It doesn't take long for the phone to lock automagically.
Many people don't use a "lock" on the phone. And you have to enter it so many times that a curious onlooker could guess the key (or the
5.0; I pattern).

Thanks for the thoughts...
I have now encrypted the phone, and hope it is protected a bit more.
I use the fingerprint to enter. ...
Now I have an encrypted samsung. It was "off" (that means to do anything on the phone I have to use my fingerprint or the password) and I inserted an USB cable connected to my opensuse 13.2, not fingerprinting, not entering the pwd.
Opensuse asked if I wanted to open dolphin, I did want to, and there were all my contents from the android phone.
So, anybody has any idea what the encryption could be good for? I think
and think and think and can't find any use for it???

Your phone is given the decryption password at boot time. Just like s LUKS partition on Linux. It protects against stolen drives and powered off devices. The lock password protect access to the phone once booted from someone stealing it after you boot it. But just like an encrypted Linux partition, when the phone's own OS is serving files, it's serving decrypted files over the wire. Most phones have a setting to restrict the USB port to charging only. You would need the unlock password to change that setting. Highly recommended. (There's never a reason (other than charging) to cable an Android phone to your computer other than to jailbreak and install a different is.) -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
