@Manoj sorry for my ignorance as I am newer with Gitlab. It appears this has been closed and corrected so encryption is now up and working. Can you confirm this is correct?

Yes the encryption issue was resolved.

I am unable to encrypt the data partition on the 2e.

  1. I set up a screen lock at Settings > Security > Screen lock (I also have 2 fingerprints set up)

  2. I go to Settings > Security > Encryption & credentials > Encrypt phone > then execute the “Encrypt phone” command/button by entering the PIN and accepting.

  3. The phone shuts down showing the droid encrypt picture/diagram.

  4. The phone reboots like normal but does NOT require the PIN for “Starting Android”. It simply boots the system image and loads the OS.

  5. In Settings > Privacy > Trust, “Encryption” shows with a red unlocked icon and “Disabled”.

Do I need to raise this on Gitlab?

Yes pl . Have to check if the code changes have been merged into the build. Will update

I’ll create and get this info to you.

Just checked. The encryption code is yet to be released. Pl note the next build for the 2e would have this code. Before applying the update users should take a backup as the code will result in data loss. Will get back with release date for the 2e build with encryption code
