It is normal. Data encryption will encrypt all data from hard disk so after reset you can't retrieve any on the data. Encryption comes in handy for selling mobiles or giving to someone else to use after reset. They can't retrieve any of the data previously stored in your phone.

I am having issues with my phone, like not being able to connect to a computer (any computer).
Having another phone number in the ABOUT PHONE area. I bought the phone used and had it flashed to PagePlus.
If I do a factory reset, will it erase my PagePlus too?

What is PagePlus???
In general, if you factory reset, you will lose all apps you installed

Hey guys, I have Lollipop 5.0 on my Nexus 4 and just got the notification for 5.0.1. I'd like to update my phone to the latest version and then do a factory reset. I've already backed up all of my data that I need. However I've read on some forums that doing a factory reset with Lollipop automatically turns on Encryption on the device and this causes performance issues and slows down the phone. There is a way to factory reset and not to enable the encryption as well? Or is there no other option other than encrypting the phone? Can someone also explain how the encryption works? Does it decrypt the phone when you switch it on or when you unlock it from sleep and why does it cause performance issues?
Many thank.

Lollipop does not encrypt the phone

I've been offered a decent price on my note 3 and due to upgrading to the note 5 in October I'm interested.
I want to encrypt before wiping but had some questions.
If i encrypt then do a factory reset, then input his sim in and start it up, will it then ask for the encryption key before he can use it? Or does wiping it also remove the request for a key while still keeping the original data scrambled?
Also something i can't remember from before. When i have done the reset, does it give the option to turn off ready for the first boot being when his sim is in? Or does it automatically restart so i have to allow it to boot then tell it i dont want to log in my details?
Thanks guys

Why would you encrypt the phone? [emoji33]
Factory reset means you need to set up everything from beginning.

I realise the reset starts from the beginning which is fine because I'll be selling to someone else. I needed to know whether it can be turned off right after the reset so i can turn on for the first time with the new persons sim in and he can start inputting his account details from the first boot.
I want to encrypt as apparently just resetting still enables someone to recover data.

If it was me, I will reset my phone. Copy some random files like Movies or audios and Reset again.
Which rewrites the data table..
and I have never tried this Encryption

Do it 3 times or get an app for that.
I would never buy an encrypted phone without pass.
I've done factory reset and my all data is formatted because of Android 10
Can anyone know how to recover my data with software

You can't. Because the new data was writen to the Data Partition when you reset and it overwrite formated Data.

Hello everyone
Today I factory reset my galaxy s7 edge and it did not turn up with android 6, instead I found it on android 8.0.0 with September 2019 security patch, I didn't update my phone after the reset, I did the factory reset from the settings menu "general management" factory data reset, I had to reset it cuz my storage was always full after I deleted everything from it, it was still full and when I check storage settings, device memory, I see "files" occupate 15 GB I tried diskusage app and cleaning cache apps and everything else but couldn't find them hidden files so I factory reset my device and it did go well since I ended up on android 8, what is the issue here ? Can someone please explain this to me please ? Thanks in advance

If ota update is enabled, he can download the update and store it and when you reset the device, he installed this update. This is the single most plausible explanation in this case.

Another thing that confuses me is why it chose September 2019 patch update and not another one?
is there anyway to go back to android 6 without flashing the phone? I mean just using the factory reset option and did anyone else get android 8 after factory reset his galaxy s7?

This was probably the most recent version that was stored on your device. Android 6 only custom roms of portals of other devices, because due to the bootloader block, you will not be able to install anything other than the stock version for your device.
