is there a budget phone that offers anything more at the minute?

Not really - either they are stuck with KitKat and a terrible skin (e.g. Huwaei Honor phones), Or have a poor screen e.g. Xperia E4 / Galaxy A3 or Galaxy Core Prime.

The only other phone I would say is worth a look and falls into a "budget" bracket, might be the ZTE Blade S6, as it has 2GB Ram (The only phone for this price that does), but despite having a octo-core processor, according to reviews isn't much quicker than say the Moto G.

It depends on what exactly you use your phone for and to some degree how much. I use my phone a reasonable amount, and have noticed some of the memory issues (launcher reloading / apps crashing and reloading), but it does seem hit and miss - sometimes I can go for days without it happening, and other times it will do it a couple of time within the space of a few minutes. Depends how much you try to do at the same time, what background apps you run, and whether you close stuff down yourself

I have 77% battery remaining and last charged it overnight on Wednesday. That should give you an idea of how much I use it.
 
Hmm I have the 2nd gen 5 inch and having an issue, it has 8gb of internal but I have a 64gb SD card which works fine but the issue I am having is that I will install a game for example Fifa ultimate team that is 1.3 gig. I then go into the storage options and move to SD card. Problem being that the SD card space will go down but my internal will stay the same. I went into my phone using my pc and found that fifa had 1.3gb still sitting in my internal storage in the android>obb folders. What am I supposed to do to fix this aggravating problem? I tried deleting the folder which just broke the game.
 
I got a moto e for my mother for £40. Other than a tn screen compared to the g's IPS display I'd say the moto e is a cracking phone for the price and would suit a 10 year old. Besides if your 10 ur old is anything like my niece of 13 u don't want them to have a expensive phone cos they will break it a few times "smashed screen iPhone 4" lol.

I think the only option here is to root the phone and use an app called Foldermount. That allows you to 'trick' the phone into thinking the sd card is part of the internal memory. I'm thinking of doing this shortly but you do void the warranty when you root :(

The phone is only meant to support max 32gb cards so perhaps that is the problem?
 
looking some help, got my niece a moto g ver 2 lte fir her birthday, it was working all right, a few days late she text me that she can't hear anyone when they phone her, i assumed the phone was faulty so got it back off her did a factory reset to wipe all her data, checked it before i took it back and it was working all right again, so i give it back to her and a week later she says she can't hear anyone again when they phone.

is the phone faulty or is one of her apps muting the phone, i've checked the volume setting in the main setting menu and they show it at full volume
 
Not in no interruptions/priority more is it?

Will still show volume as up but with a no entry symbol/star in the notification bar.
 
checked tonight, no it not, powering it off and on fixed it for now but from what i've read that a temp fix and it most likely do it again
 
My 2nd gen 4g moto g, just received a new update, still 5.0.2, but new system version of 22.41.24. Release notes mention performance and network problem fixes.
