Android supports entire phone encryption since probably version 5.0; I know 6.0 has it. This is probably what you need.
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 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???

Dan: The encrypted drive, (and the microsd card) are to protect those data stores from theft of the microsd card or loss of the device (which eventually shuts down for lack of power, or too many login password fails). The password lock protects the phone content if stolen while booted. But data served by the phone over one of its interface is decrypted just like data on a Linux LUKS partition is decrypted over samba and nfs etc. Deep in the settings of the Android phone (developer options) is a setting for USB, that allows you to restrict the USB to CHARGING ONLY. This is the preferred security setting. (There is never any real reason to cable your phone to a computer except to charge it in normal every day usage. You only need to cable up for USB debugging or sideloading a different Operating System Rom.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
