I have the same problem with a 9-month-old HTC 10. I mount the phone on my bicycle while riding.

No corporate email. I suspected a system update but didn't think they would force encryption.

Getting a new phone every year is nuts.

I have an HTC 10 with T-Mobile. Several weeks ago I started getting the "Your phone is encrypted" screen when restarting, prompting me to enter my pattern. I'm pretty sure I never opted in to having my data encrypted. Is it possible that it could happen automatically without the user's permission?
