Question...
How many members here have chosen to encrypt their device?
Why did you choose to do it?
Do you feel it has slowed your device down?
I have thought about doing it, but have taken the decision that generally I'm very careful, I never leave the phone anywhere and don't want any performance reduction or potential bricking if something goes wrong.
I have the fingerprint scanner enabled for when I'm not in my home location or car (bluetooth safe connection).I also don't think if a petty thief stole the phone they would be in the slightest bit interested in trying to connect the device to a PC and get the data off and then going to the hassle of selling or using data, they are more likely the be relatively low intelligence and will likely factory reset and sell so they can buy more drugs etc.
I'm not yet sold on the need, but I'm interested in what other people think and willing to consider things I haven't thought of that may sway my decision. I suppose if the performance hit is virtually zero and the risk of issues is virtually zero it may as well be done, but that's what I'm still unclear about.
