Help SD card problem

I have an eBay unbranded, budget smart phone, Model T3 with 8 gigs of internal memory, running Android 6 with a USB driver app installed connected to a Windows 7 Ultimate PC with a data cable (tried two different cables). USB debugging is connected. My phone will connect to the PC with the SD card as the default write disk.

On the phone I can configure the card to operate as USB storage or as Media device. When USB connection is "Media device" a window will appear on my PC desktop saying "Autoplay" and "Device Options". I can select "Open device to view files using "Windows Explorer". I can access the card and view its contents. However, and here is the problem, When the phone's SD card is connected as USB Storage, "Computer" window appears on PC desktop with "Hard Disk Drives" and "Devices With Removable Storage", "Removable Disk (Z:)", --my phone-- (it doesn't matter what drive letter I assign it). When I click on "Removable Disk (Z:)" a window appears on my PC which says, "Insert Disk", " Please insert a disk in Removable Disk (Z:)". I cannot access the SD card labeled Disk (Z:) so I can't transfer files between the PC and the phone.

I go into "Administrative Tools", "Computer Management", "Storage", "Disk Management" and the SD card is listed as "Disk 2", "Removable (Z:), "No Media" but I can't do anything with it.

Does somebody have any idea how I can fix this so I can access the SD card from my PC as "USB storage"?

Sorry about all the emoticons. Unintentional. The end parenthesis created them.

Help My noob phone dieded? :/

Hi,
I'd like to ask for help. Yesterday, my poor little Nubia N1 lite ( NX597J) was almost discharged, so i plugged it in charger. It was turned on btw. When i plugged it in, the screen showed colored lights for a moment like when old analog TV doesn't have a signal, can't think of better way to describe it. after that phone became unresponsive with everything except red notification light on top left.
When its plugged in charger, it shows bright red light, when its off the charger it shows dim red light. Can't turn on, doesn't vibrate or anything, literally nothing but the light works.
I tried the things with power button holding +- but no luck. Any idea?

Media Playback is unsupported

I have a Galaxy S8 running Android 9.0 and using the Dolphin browser.

I have a Galaxy Tab S2 running Android 7.0 and using the Dolphin browser.

My wife has a Galaxy S8 running Android 8.0 and using the Dolphin browser.

All three are fully up to date with android and are running the latest version of Dolphin.

When using my Tab S2 or my wife's S8 I can load the same video from the BBC pages (for example) and it runs as expected.

When using my S8 I can load the same video from the BBC pages but it will not run. I get the error message "media player is not supported on your device".

Why is media player supported on two of these devices but not on my S8 and how can I get media player supported on my S8?

Help Application for recording calls (lectures) - Request for help

Hello friends,

I hear some lectures on the phone and want to record the conversations.

I searched for all the applications that are supposed to record but hardly hear the voice of the incoming line - but instead it is on a loudspeaker (which is very uncomfortable)

It seems as though they are just scheduling the recording of the usual tape recorder on the device. (Am I right ? )

Is there an app that can catch the sound coming into the device before it even goes out?

Or does anyone have an idea of how to record - I would be very grateful.

Help Please cure my stupidity-- How to make a new S5 operable???

I enjoy the Galaxy S5 on MetroPCS which "rides on the T-Mobile network". The screen cracked, so went on eBay to purchase a new, factory sealed S5 identical model, G900T labelled SM-900T3 UD. Went to MetroPCS and they said this new phone must be unlocked! Referred to T-Mobile and they couldn't help. This sealed package was labelled "Family Mobile" from Walmart and uses t-mobile. T-mobile told me to contact FamilyMobile (FM). FM told me they would not unlock it unless and until a year of using their service, and that's over $320 over three times the cost of the new phone!! Feels like being a hostage. Stupid me - - - should have purchased an unlocked phone.

Haven't opened the phone so have no idea if it has that small simm card, but at MetroPCS they are only $10.

Called a local phone repair place and they said that they can unlock it for $70 and it will take a week to get some code from a "Samsung server". Huh?

Any of you Android geniuses know if and how a consumer can unlock the phone? Must I throw it away? Give it away for a small tax deduction?

HELP!!!

Help Trouble with Copilot navigation app

I saw an old thread related to copilot not starting on a Samsung. As was described copilot was functioning fine for several months. The when the start up key was engaged the page with copilot name on a black background opens for several seconds and then the tablet reverts back to the home page. The app appears in the background, but never opens. I hope someone has discovered the problem and can offer a solution.

Apps won't download off Google play

Hi, I have the Huawei mate se. A more powerful version of a phone called the honor 7x. My phone will not download apps or update apps from Google play. It just says "downloading" but never actually downloads. I have strong wifi, this phone doesn't support 5GHZ wifi, but the 2.4 GHz wifi I usage is very strong. I have dual band wifi. Also, I read if your phone is low on storage then sometimes it takes longer to install things. My device has 64GB internal storage and I have 20% left. I cleared the cache of Google play and I still have this issue. Please help if you know how.

support

My phone is an HTC Desire 626 (not listed). This morning I tried to take a picture but the lens was foggy. I later noticed the lens of the camera is broken. Can it be replaced? I dropped my phone on my basement floor and cracked the case cover several weeks ago and have tried unsuccessfully to find a new cover . If I cracked the camera lens at that time, it didn't show. I make pictures almost daily and until today, they were ok. Help!.

Help Always show the dock? (even with apps open)

I have an Android 9.0 car stereo unit

Of course, it's permanently in landscape mode.

I have the dock set to the right-hand side of the screen, with the apps I use most.

However, when I launch an app, the dock disappears.

Is it possible to always display the dock?

The unit can not be rooted (as far as I know).

I'm happy to use any launcher/tweak.

I do not wish to use Android Auto.
