About content protection and compression
Content protection is designed to encrypt your BlackBerry® device data. When your device is password locked, an open lock in the device status section of the screen indicates that encryption is in progress. A closed lock indicates that encryption is complete. After you type your device password, data on your device is decrypted as you access it.
To use content protection, you must set a device password.
Content compression is designed to reduce the size of the data that is stored on your device and to maintain the integrity of that data.
