Android 6.0 Marshmallow Issues

I was really looking forward to this update for my 2015 Moto G 3rd Gen, mainly because of the 'adoptable storage' feature. My handset is 8GB so I presumed this feature would add my Micro SD cards 32GB and combine it all. It makes it look like it does, but actually it really doesn't...

Firstly, when you choose to use the adoptable storage feature, all apps that couldn't be transferred to the SD card when you had Lollipop, still can't be. Meaning your physical internal storage can still get full - I know this because GTA won't install.

Also, you can't choose to have photos and videos to be saved to the SD card if you choose to have adoptable storage - I also know this because my physical internal storage increased heavily after taking a HD video.

So, you can choose not to use adoptable storage and just have the SD card for photos and videos and music... but now if you do that, no apps whatsoever can be transferred to the SD card!

It's a stupid change and I wish I'd stayed on Lollipop - that way, all my photos would automatically save to the card and I could transfer apps that were allowed to be transferred to the memory card.

I hope Android resolve this soon...

I was more than a little confused when I did the upgrade yesterday,thanks for making it clearer for me.

I did not know that adoptable was an option,or even what it was to be honest,just knew that I did not want to format the card.

Anyway I seem to have the option of transfering content video/pictures to the SD card,in whatever folder.

I have the 16GB version so its not so bad for me.

It doesn't save photos of video straight to the card though does it, you have to transfer them yourself is that right?

Not 100% sure of that just yet,but about say 90% sure that yes you do have to transfer them yourself.
Not put any new content on the phone yet,but there is a 'move to' option when viewing content in internal storage.

OK just tried it with a picture,you do have to transfer content yourself to your SD card with the move to option.
Having said that content that was already on my card before the upgrade has remained on the card,as far as I can tell,of course I did not take the format option offered after the upgrade.

Is it just me or has the camera on the Moto changed after the update where the manual focus and exposure control is now constantly on?
