E72 memory card encryption

Setting up card encryption goes through the motions but appears to instantly encrypt the card! Given memory encryption takes a few minutes, it looks like nothing actually happens. Indeed, trying to decrypt the card doesn't do anything! Haven't yet tried to read the card in another device, but I suspect it isn't. Other reportson the net concur with this. Given that encryption was one of the main reasons for looking at this phone, this is a bit of an issue.

Having updated to 31.023 and going through a hard reset. The system now says that the card encryption is "off". Have switched it on again and the effect is the same. System says card is encrypted - but nothings actually happened!

    Options > Media Card. Set the encryption there.
    Also, does blackberry provide a service whereas if the phone is nicked, you can send a signal too it to basically trash the phone? I'm sure Ive heard of that on BES but not sure about BIS.
    Yes, I use Roblock

  • Memory card encrypted

    Hi there!
    Today I finally found an occasion to update my E71 with the new FW. Before doing that i made a backup, ofcourse. But because of time matters, i didn't back up the memorycard. Never gave any problems. Untill- you'll guess- today. After the update my mc is encrypted, at least: my E71 thinks it is. But I'm sure it isn't. Is there a way to recover the data that is on the card?
    Much thanks in advance...

    Plug the card in a PC. Copy the files, reformat the card in the phone and replace the files. If you can't read the card in the PC and phone, the card is corrupted and you have to reformat anyway. All data will be lost.

  • Nokia E72 - Bypassing RAM+Card encryption

    I just realized something interesting with my E72 - people can access my data even without knowing the password.
    Details are as follows:
    -E72 firmware 022.007. Both memory and MicroSD card are encrypted. Phone set to auto-lock at every 20 minutes.
     I have an alternate home screen application installed (Voyager Home Screen) and just noticed that possible to invoke Voyager even after the phone has been "locked" (encrypted). Using Voyager I can load up any file management tool, for instance X-Plorer and access the card and any files.
     All one has to to is unlock the keyboard, there is no need to know the lock code or input it.
     Perhaps this has something to do with the way Voyager Home Screen works but it made me realize that perhaps the data isn't secure at all... even with encryption.

    Well I have another update to this issue...  I have accidentally hit the EXIT button during encryption and then the phone restarted. I then disabled memory card encryption and it took about one hour. After that I had some corrupted files in my microSD, some videos that I added later. The original OVI Maps and other files were not affected.
    OK, I then decided to retry the encryption process. I enabled the encryption and it was enabled istantaneously as other people said. I then wondered what should it be. Then I came to my mind that probably the phone uses the memory card lock password to generate the encryption key. So I CHANGED the memory card lock password and enabled memory card encryption again. Well the encryption is going on right now (at 10% after 15 minutes on 16GB). So it seems that you firstly have to set the memory lock password and then enable memory card encryption, in that way the card would be encrypted juat as the phone memory encryption works.

  • Encrypt & decrypt memory card

    how can i do  decryption  of a memory card in nokia E66 model..
    can u tell the procedure ...
    i already encrypt the card now i cant acces the card ie cant open music file ,images etc... 

    The process varies according to your OS release on the device, but check Options > Security > General Settings and set your password and see what options you have there. You should find one for encryption to include the media card.

  • Encrypt memory card data

    How can I encrypt files on memory card so if phone is stolen data can't be read?
    Using  device encryption is useless, I think. Is password encription the only way?

  • To remove encryption from the files in the memory card

    Hello,
    Yesterda I checked the opcion of encryption on my BB. Today I had problems when synchronizing the data between the PC and the BB, all my data was deleted from the phone (not from the memory card) and I now I have deactivated the encryption check on the BB settings.
    The problem is that when I start my BB the BB asks me for the encryption key which was used to encrypt the data in the memory card, and therefore I want to get removed from the need of this encryption key, therefore I need to desencrypt all the files from the memory card.
    how can I do this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Monica

    You can drag them out of dock, at least 2 inches or so up and then hold until there is a puff of smoke - they'll be gone.

  • Can I use Restore From Memory Card to clone E72

    Hi
    I have two E72s, both have the exact same firmware 091.004. Can I use the "Back Up phone Memory" feature to transfer everything (apps + settings + data) from one E72 to another? I just want to switch to another E72 this way:
    1. On the 1st E72, back up phone memory using File Manager.
    2. Move the SIM card and memory card from the 1st E72 to the 2nd one.
    3. On the 2nd E72, restore phone memory from the backup on the memory card using File Manager.
    Will it allow me to clone everything (like an image) to another E72? Is it officially supported?
    I tried once, some things were missing such as Opera Mini not found, Nokia Evolve theme not enabled, profile settings not applied etc.
    Is there a way to clone everything to another E72?
    Thanks heaps.

  • Mera, (this has always been sucessful) however the pictures would not download, and appear to be encrypted and unable to view.  This also erased the pictures from the memory card. Help?

    I tried to download my pictures with my memory card from my camera (this has always been sucessful) however the pictures would not download, and appear to be encrypted and unable to view, also not saved in my 'Iphotos'  This also erased the pictures from the memory card. Help.....anyway of retrieving them?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    did you get a message when trying to import from the memory card?
    did you use a card reader?
    what was you exact workflow for attempting the import?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library? See image below:
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • E72 - new memory card

    Have just bought a new E72.  A 4 GB memory card is already inserted by Nokia and it has a lot on it - maps etc I guess.
    I am getting a 32gb card for additional stuff.  How can I easily get the stuff from the original card onto the new card - can I just transfer it via a PC??

    Remember to enable Show hidden & system files if not already on your PC first before copying contents to larger card.

    Windows 7 - Open (My) Computer Press the Alt key > Click Tools > Folder Options…Click the View tab, select Show hidden files and folders, and uncheck Hide protected operating system files
    Although I have never experienced issues with a succession of larger memory cards, you could always create an image backup of the memory card using Drive Snapshot and then restore that to the new larger card.

  • E72 - Cant view photos on memory card

    Hey,
    Any photos or backgrounds I put on my memory card are not viewable in the image gallery and If I move a image from the phone memory to my memory card in the image gallery It just disappears. I tested the memory card in another phone and it works fine. What am I doing wrong?

    I face a similar problem. Heres the history.
    There was a virus on my cell phone, because of which a folder by the name 'RECYCLER' appeared on my phone. I did a hard reset (Format). Since then, I believe the virus is gone (since I cant see the Recycler folder any more), but my images cant be viewed in the Gallery. If I use my phone in mass storage mode, I can see the pictures that I had taken. But they dont appear in my Gallery. Any ideas how to solve this problem.
    Also, if I take my phone to a Nokia Service Center, can they format and reinstall the entire software, so that the phone is just like it was on the day I purchased it?

  • 20 minutes timeout for full RAM/Card Encryption is...

    After over 2 monhts heavy usavge, I'm quite happy with my E72 so far, except for some memory leak issues. 
    I did get a bit annoyed by the fact that the auto-lock feature cannot be set for more than 20 minutes. One of the resons I got the E72 was the strong RAM+Card encryption but I expected it to be a bit more flexible.
    It is true that having a forced lock timeout helps protect your device (you'd forget to lock it sometimes) but there are certain occasions where I find this extremely annoying. For instance:
    -When I am at home I find no need to have it locked all the time.
    -When I am at work and the phone is always next to me, I find annoying that it auto-locks every 20 minutes when I'm using it as an audio player - makes you have to unlock when you want to interact
    -In certain applications, it is annoying that it autolocks and you can't interact. One example is Sygic Mobile GPS software that crashes when it locks. With other software it would be annoying too as you'd be locked and unable to interact with the phone in any trip taking longer than 20 minutes.
    So I have two suggestions
    -Make the maximum lock delay a bit longer - for instance 60 minutes.
    and/or
    Give us an option similar to what you get in timed Profiles, for instance, "Stay unlocked until hh:mm" - This would be handy when you're home and well... no one is going to steal your phone/access it/lose it.

    I don't mean the keyboard lock, I mean the native Symbian OS phone lock when you are using RAM and/or Card Encryption with the E72.
    It is built in on the OS and you cannot set it to be over 20 minutes. If you leave your phone untouched for 20 minutes it will lock/encrypt itself.  
    Then you have to
    1) unlock the keyboard
    2) enter the unlock code to decrypt
    The problem is that the auto-lock feature timer is limited to 1-20 minutes.
    If you want for instance to use your phone for a GPS navigation trip and don't touch it for 20 minutes, it will lock + encrypt....  in some occasions would be nice to have a much longer timer.
    I wish Nokia would tweak this in the next firmware or at least allow us to specify certain applications where it would not auto-lock at all.

  • Problem with E71 detecting photos in Memory card

    I have a Nokia E71.
    I tried encrypting the memory card first. After this i could not access my data on the memory card hence I decided to decrypt it.
    Everything on the memory card seems fine except that the Gallery is not recognising the photos on my memory card. I can access the data through the File Manager.
    Have tried switching d phone On and Off several times but to no avail.
    Even removed the memory card and re-inserted it but no use.
    The songs are detected by the music player.
    When i scan my memory of the card it shows used space but 0 bytes for Images, 0 for Sound files and 0 for Video files.
    Also my Phone has slowed down since then. Some of the images are also corrupted
    Please help me ASAP!!!

    Try to transfer your data to computer , recovering as much as possible , and then format the card

  • Memory Card Cleaning

    I guess I installed something I shouldn't have. So I have a idea where all the themes are on the phone, but what folder hold all the programs. I need to delete that folder and start over from there? O can't even boot up my phone when my cards in there now.
    I'll just delete all the folders in the private folder for now.
