Question [Q] Is it possible to decrypt Samsung Tab 10.1 without doing a Factory Reset?

Yesterday I decided to Encrypt the Tab 10.1, but since then its just been acting funky. I can't explain it, but I thought I would just be able to go to Settings > Location & Security then select an option to Decrypt the tab after I entered my PIN.

No such luck. Anybody else know if its possible to remove the encyrption without performing a factory reset?

Not a big deal if not, just an observation.

Sorry, but the only way is to do a factory reset. I encrypted mine as well and it was acting strange and once I read about the OVA update that brick the I/O tabs, I did not want to take the chance. So factory reset it is

Is it possible to save your existing data before doing a factory reset?
