Which Samsung charger do you have?

The one that came with my Galaxy S6.

:edit: changed the cable for a spare and now it is turbo charging. Guess the one for my S6 is getting old although it fast charges my S6 no problem.

Cool. I thought it would work fine as I use it too. Nexus 6.

Hi,

Last year i bought the misses a Moto Gen 3, its obviously out of memory so wanted to get her an SD Card. Will either of these be OK?

SANDISK Extreme Plus Class 10 microSD Memory Card - 32 GB
SANDISK Ultra Performance Class 10 microSD Memory Card - 32 GB

I've read it is recommended by Motorola to only use up to 32GB.... The Extreme Plus seems to have quicker read/write speeds. Just want to make sure it will be compatible and be able to be used for Photo's/Apps/etc.

Cheers.

Be warned (I think I posted in this thread asking) but I couldn't get the memory to expand onto the SD card like it should for my mum. Ended up using the SD card as a normal SD card storing photo's and such, but that doesn't help when trying to install apps and things. Ended up just buying her a 16GB Galaxy S3 for Xmas.

Bummer, hope not. I'll see how I get on. Tbh the phone has been brilliant as an introduction to smart phones, so I'll spend some time trying to make it work before I give up. Cheers fella.

Worked for me. But on two different Motos a 3 and a 4 it killed the SD card very quickly. Been using it the same card on Windows phone for a couple of years. So I dunno what the Motos are doing with it.

Under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 you have 30 days to return for a refund if the product is faulty. I've returned 2 Moto G4s and got a refund (from Argos) without hassle for the same fault.

I have to return my G4 with the sim not found error. I dunno to get another if I'm offered a refund, or just refund and get something else. I really like the G4. its a bit big is all.

Would the Moto G4 Play be an upgrade from an S3? Also if so, any good deals to buy one SIM free?

They took it in for testing for a week. Then gave me a new one. New one has the ghost touch issue a few times. We'll see if it gets worse.
