Wait, what?

Aren't the Samsung fanboys the ones always laughing at HTC's and Moto's locked and sometimes encrypted bootloaders?

I'm talking about the internal memory and sd card memory, the bootloader is just fine the way it is

Nope, no option to encrypt the storage in Locations and Security.

I can't find any information about device encryption with the Glide. Samsung's specifications mention it, but that's about it. The only thing I can find in the menu relates to certificate storage, but that appears to be more related to secure applications, not encrypting storage. I came across a few mentions of AT&T removing encryption features from Samsung devices, but I couldn't get a clear reading on that, either.

tl;dr: totally inconclusive, sorry.
