From everything I've read I should be able to encrypt my sd card on my i747 but only option I have is to encrypt phone which I've done. Should I be able to encrypt my sd card on this? I have my camera set to save my photos etc on my sd card and would really like it encrypted. I've tried a few of the photo hide programs and they all move the photos to the internal sd card if you hide them from external sd card. If there was an app that would keep them on they drive they are located on I would worry about the sd card encryption as much. Either would be nice. Thanks

SDcard use FAT32. FAT32 have legal ties to Microsoft, Google isn't even messing with anything FAT32.

Technically Google could implement a feature to encrypt sdcards that use EXT4 file system, but they haven't since they decided to not support it in their Nexus devices at all for security issues which I agree with.

Your only solution is to use not use microSD.
