    Internal and External Memory Combine

    I have a MOTO X Pure with Marshmallow. I put a 64GB SD card and asked if I wanted Internal or External Memory and I selected it to be Internal Memory. It gave me a message that SD cards are slower than internal memory and did I want to proceed. I said YES and it formatted and installed the SD...

    What's up with battery usage?

    Lousy battery life. Reading using Moon Reader Pro, my battery went dead after about an hour and one half or maybe just a little more. WIFI turned off. I have had this Note 8 for about one month today. Really disappointed with the battery. Battery was fully charged when I started reading.
