    Moto Z Play Nougat

    So I finally received Nougat on my Z play yesterday (retgb) and all seems good so far. I have a quick question about notifications though if anyone on Marshmallow still can check.

    Ascending ring tone

    So I'm mostly mega happy with my Z Play it's a quality beast. However I've found the ascending ring to be a pain as it seems to affect notifications as well so I don't hear them arrive as they only ring once. Anyone else having this issue? Cheers

    Fitbit Charge HR

    The wife said that she would like a Fitbit Charge HR for Xmas. I've really no idea about them. Is this one worth getting? Are there better models for a similar price? She's got a Moto G 2015 phone if that makes any difference. Thanks all.

    Battery life

    Hi all. So I'm really tempted by the Z Play due to the reports of amazing battery life. Any Z Play owners out there that can comment on if the real world battery life is as good as the claims. Cheers :)

    Low storage

    Hi all. Since my Moto upgraded to Marshmallow it is really low on storage. I really don't have many apps installed, how can 8gb be filled by the ROM and a few apps? (Most annoying) Other than rooting the phone is there any way to clear some space. Thanks.

    I have an odd issue with my GS5 after I unfortunately dropped it in the bath. I thought initially that water had got in the speaker as it was quiet. Now ring tones will play through the speaker but if I try to play music from Spotify etc no sound at all comes out. I've checked the volume...

    Replacement battery

    Hi all. I'm just wondering if there are any decent extended replacement batteries out there. I'd ideally like a little more juice for my S5 without having to carry extra battery packs around or power banks but without having to have a big ugly case. Can I have my cake and eat it? Ideas. Cheers.
