I have tried to encrypt my Coolpad many times, but all that happens is the little green Android robot shows up and nothing else. I can minimize and close the screen with the robot and the phone continues to work normally. I always make sure the charger is plugged into the wall instead of my computer's USB and as few apps are running as possible. I have searched Google thoroughly and tried these things with no luck: making sure phone is in landscape mode, killing all but system apps, factory reset without installing anything including Google apps, changing from PIN to password, and some other things I don't recall.
I have read plenty of articles explaining in-depth how to encrypt an Android phone and they pretty much all have very similar instructions, but there are very few e explaining how to encrypt a phone that doesn't want to start the encryption process.
Can anyone help me?
