My wife is fed up with her tribute on virgin mobile. She wants to stay on virgin's $35 plan, so I'm leaning towards the moto g 3rd gen for her (she doesn't really care what phone she has as long as it "works"), but one of the issues with the tribute is that there was literally no space for her own apps after the last update (it was also a buggy mess, but that's another issue).
Is being limited to 8bg a problem for anyone? Can you even get the 16gb version for virgin mobile?
All she'll be using it for is spotify, fallout shelter (and maybe sudoku and stuff like that), navigation and the occasional call and text. No facebook or instagram, or anything like that.
I came from a Nexus 4 with 8gb to this. Probably had 150 apps. With the cloud, micro SD card, and moving apps to the sd(some), I haven't had any problems with this awesome device.

I have had the VM Moto g for about a week..its a great phone.
I don't think you can get the 16g on VM
There's a micro SD card slot on both 8gb and 16gb model. I have the 8gb model and I have a 16gb micro SD card in it. You can move the apps the SD card and also store your downloaded music.

Thanks - do you ever run into issues from only having 1gb of memory?

Not really. I'm surprised this runs pretty smooth. I came from the moto x 2014. Of course if you play hardcore games and other memory hungry apps it will become sluggish. However basic social media apps, youtube, chrome, and Google play music works flawlessly.

Does the Captivate get slow with the 32gb sd card from Verizons website? Ive heard people say that it doesnt play vids that are 1.5gb, I have movies that are 1.5gb mp4 at 720p, will they play?
What class is the card?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
The slowest card they will put out will be a class 2. That's the minimum allowed by the standard. I have a 16GB class 2 card in my phone now, and I can play HD video off it with no hiccups, so I would imagine that the 32GB card would do the same. As soon as I can find $150 I don't have a better use for, I intend to get one.
Buy dot com sells them for about 125 =p
But yeah, they should all work fine for watching movies, the file size limit generally has to do with the file system being used, but 1.5gb shouldn't be an issue I wouldn't think.

Hi Guys,
I just got my motorola atix 2 a week back but have been facing some problems related to games . I tried to put files in sd card and then install game but it after installation doesn't work and also deletes the game files in android/data.
Its running 2.3.6 after i did a update with a 8gb card.
And also i read on some forums that there is also problem with a 32gb card and i have ordered it online already...
So please help guys , really need some information !
I've heard that there are problems with some class 10 cards...I'm not having any problems with a class 4 or 6 (I don't remember which I bought, and don't feel like pulling it out at the moment) 32gb card that I got from Amazon. I get the tiniest hesitation or stutter when I start some apps that are stored on the sd card, but that's about it for me so far. Even that's reduced now that I'm running Supercharged.
Store it in phone! Can't u ? U have a 4gig of storage left out for apps. I have em all on ma phone memory. No lags nothin.

Hey everybody,
I am considering getting a Moto G, but i was wondering how the internal memory is partitioned, and how much of it is available for apps and cached music on the 16G version. I read somewhere that on the 8G version, the internal memory in split into 4G system memory for the OS, and 4G for user data. But i could not find the memory partitioning and size for the 16G version.
Anyone with a 16G version who can check this out for me?

I have 12.92 gigs of space before user apps etc. I'm still on the 4.3 ROM, haven't received the new 4.4.2 OTA upgrade.

No partitioning on 16GB. You can use it for whatever you want.

Moto G 8Gb : Too few (APP) space..

My Moto G 8Gb is really fast...and perfect except for 2 (common) problems, the most important is the FREE APP Space :
1st - impossible install APP except fro Play Store : NO Amazon app, NO AppOfTheDay free app,..
2nd - 5Gb FREE that with a bit of music (2Gb) , Sygic Navi (600Mb) and something else means only 1 Gb for free space ,,,but the worst info is that,
if i check with DiskUsage it says i have :
APP : 1193 Mb --> when i go to install a new app (only 11 Mb) now it says "i have not enough free space" !! (
SYSTEM DATA : 614 Mb
Really too few space..
Got the same problem.
I have a 8gb and I'm thinking of changing it now for a 16gb.
I don't have any music or big game apps just will have a few average apps and photos. Do you think 8 will be enough?

8 Gb. is enough for me! Like you said, i just have few average apps, i am not the person who's taking a lot of photos and i don't have a lot of music neither, so i'm fine with 8 gb ñ_ñ
I'll might stick with it then.
I'm the sort that downloads a app and if I don't like I delete it. I can't see me having more than 20 + the pre installed apps at any one time. but maybe a good few photos.
For a few big apps , couple of songs and photos 8GB serves well

Not much memory,
The phone is awesome, I bought the 8gb version, I didn't know only like 5gb are available for normal use, I installed two games and that's it, no more available internal memory.
This phone is awesome in all ways, very customizable but not much memory...
I've been looking around through Sprint's community forums and see that they will not be offering the 32gb option, just the 16gb. I was really hoping to upgrade my S3 with the S5, but I'm already running out of room and I would really like the option for more space. Does anyone know if there's a way to free up the usable internal space or get Android to allow apps to work better off the SD card?
Thanks
It can't be apps that are taking up all your space, buy a class 10 64 gb like I have and just move all your pictures and music on it... I never notice it being slow or non responsive for the movies or music I play off it. I preordered my s5 a few days ago and i am not going to worry about space.

There has been some hint that 32GB might be offered later in the Sprint Community at the official Sprint website. The customer care people have posted "watch the news feed for updates". In the mean time sign the petition http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/sprintgs532gb
If it even comes, it will be much later

Yesterday I wiped my s3 and loaded CM11. That freed up a ton of space, but I'm not really sure what originally took up all the space. I can only guess it was the ROM that I had before. I have always had my pictures on my SD card and don't take video.
I just bought a 64gb SD card and that could help. I would like to have the onboard memory, though.

The S5 also supports new 128 GB micro-SDs. Pretty awesome, I think. I don't know if app2sd is still supported, though.

yes it is still supported
however, if you want the "extreme" or "extreme plus" micro SD card from sandisc, the biggest is 64gb that is available currently

For now...
And anyway, it's just a pipe dream for me, because I can't afford the fast 64, let alone a slow 128.
I have the extreme plus version and it's amazingly fast. Gallery loads in an instant versus the ultra model

The Flex2 can be real fast. And it can be real slow.
The difference lies in the question: Did you move some apps to the SD card?
If you did, then the Flex2 will get slower and slower the more apps you move to the SD card. I got the motherboard changed in my Flex 2 and initially it was running real fast, until I started shifting some apps to the SD card and it crawled.
Both before and after the motherboard was changed, the behavior was the same.
Maybe it depends on the sd card .
I got a 64GB which is fast and recommend for 4k
I moved some apps to the sd card but the performance is still the same.
I've got an ultrafast uhs 128gb which tops out the A1 SD bench app. The easiest way to see the performance degradation is to go to Google plus and click on a picture, then share external. There is a very great delay awaiting for the share to apps icons to load up.

What's the read write speed for the card you got? I just picked up a 80+mb/s card seems pretty good

Iv3 confirmed it to myself couple times already. Once you start moving many apps to the SD card it'll all slowdown.

I think you are right.
I moved a few apps back to phone and now it looks like the phone runs better.
But important is an solution. I report that to LG, maybe they can help
I found the video ... this is the lag I am talking about... if all the apps installed on phone then you won't experience this type of lag.

Good that some find solutions
In my case i dont have any apps on sd and the microlag is all over the phone. Not a specific app
I send LG Support an e mail.
Hope they answer fast
If the phone had 64GB, ok than its not a big deal but it only got 16GB
