How about the external card? You might just have to take it to a repair center to get it fixed.

I have to return the phone to Google by this week otherwise I'll get charged. They sent me another phone, just trying to get my What's app chats off the dead phone...

There seems to be a new feature in sharing pictures that multiple pics and vids can be shared as one ... meaning you receive what looks like a collage and you click on it to open all the pictures anyone know how to do this?

No. Only when sending voice notes.

IME You need to select the option in "Account" > "Change Number" for others to be notified. (and even then, i think only groups get the notifications, but it allows you to remain in the group seamlessly)

You can't leave it blank. Most ppl just leave it with the default saying.
