And if so would apps2sd remedy the situation?
I have a class 6 sd so I'm fairly sure it can handle the speeds the phone would demand from it..

No. Apps2sd should be ok. Most people say you should have a class 10.

Downloading apps does not slow you down, unless they are apps that are constantly running. Whether they are on your phone or SD it doesn't matter, that's just an issue of space.

Hi guys is there a good app that will free memory up as I was looking at what memory was free earlier and realised it was low at 118mb so alot was being used so I restarted and have 360mb spare. I realise that apps close themselves? So I medal good program to free some memory

Are you having issues with speed, or are you just looking at your free memory and thinking tha 118MB is low?
Android is clever enough to make sure that it has enough memory to do what it is currently doing, so should you need more than 118MB for an app, something else will get closed down.
There is no point in closing down apps just to get more free memory. By closing apps that aren't ready to be closed you may end up causing more damage than good.
Well I do a bench mark test and get good results when more memory 's free and tbh I don't think it slows down when its got less RAM spare I just thought maybe things should be closed down

Mine sits at around the same figure. Don't worry about it, Android will handle it for you, shutting down apps as it needs to. Doing anything yourself will probably just have an adverse effect.
Ok thanks for feedback

so if I have a class 6 or class 8 SD card would it increase the quality (fps) of my video?
Tc literally cannot read
There's a q and a sub fourm right below this one
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
It would not increase video quality. The only thing it would increse is app load times for apps that had been moved to the sd card.

It increases writing ability not reading.

Yeah, it writes faster. But, don't be disappointed if you record video, take pictures, transfer music, movies, or videos to the sdcard it'll write/transfer way way way faster.
My Aria seems to be bogging down / lagging and im thinking its cuz i dont have enough free memory.
Whats the best way to uninstall factory apps from memory so i can reinstall them to my sd card from the market?

Titanium backup works good to removing apps.

Try moving the app to the phone if its on the SD card.
I haven't moved any app s to sd card as I don't think theres any need as I have sd ext partition of 1gb. And the rom uses this automatically.

Well, some apps should be on phone, even if you've got SD-Ext. If it doesn't work, you're outta luck.
here's the thing.
sometimes the app installs to SD, even if you didn't tell it to, so check the app anyways and if it says "SD" move it to phone.
If it says "phone" and still FC, then move it to SD, then move it back to phone and try again, you should be good.
don't ask me why but it works.
Hi
I tried this..moved to sd then back to phone... But did not solve issue

My wife just got an M as a replacement for her old Rezound. She has had it for about three weeks and the phone is already telling her she is out of internal storage. However, when I look at her storage it appears that only her "Backup ASSISTANCE Plus" is full. It's unfortunately causing her phone to be worthless. Does anyone know how to fix this? Her phone is completely stock. Thanks in advance.

couple of tips:
1.) don't use backup assistance - use google to store your contacts
2.) make sure that your camera settings are set to save pics/vids to the mnt/external1 folder (no sdcard in internal storage)

Might also want to disable Backup Assistant in the Application Settings.
Also, clear the cache and make sure that no leftover OTA updates are stored.

Thanks for the feedback. I tried to disable it but it wouldn't let me. I'll take another look tonight. I don't want to do a hard reset unless I have to but if I can't disable it, I'll have no other choice.

Conclusion. This phone sucks if you can't put apps on the SD. 8gb internal hard drive is really only 4 gigs.

If you root, you can easily store apps on external. Also, internal is partitioned into 4gb halves. One for the the ROM and the other for media/etc. Personally, I don't understand how people fill that up so quickly. I use very few apps and all my media gets stored to my external SD. I'm still sitting at about 3.5GB available on my storage side.

I understand it's portioned but I've never seen a phone require half of its internal storage. As for media, it's all going to her card. I guess if you use few apps your ok, but that's not the case with a 5 year. You shouldn't have to root for a phone to be functional with a relatively low amount of apps in use.

Do you know if the phone was previously rooted? I know that nandroid backups get saved to internal storage if you don't specify and they will eat up the storage space quickly.

It came straight from Verizon as a replacement phone so all I know is that it's a refurbished phone. I cleaned up the backup assistance so hopefully that will help. I have a theory that triggered the warning and loss of functionality. We'll see. If it pops back up, it's going back to Verizon.

Makes sense since this phone is loaded with it. This is our first Motorola smartphone. Is that a Motorola issue with excess bloat? I know all phones have it but this seems like a lot considering the limited amount of internal memory.

bloat is an issue with all Verizon android phones (the bloat helps bring down the costs on the device).
one of the drawbacks to this device is the lack of internal memory. however, the bigger drawback is in the OS that prevents folks from moving apps to their SD Card.
but once I rooted, and installed a "clean ROM", I got a lot more space.
with your wife's phone, I suspect she has the latest OTA baseband (check the phone settings, if the baseband is prior to May 2013, then you are in luck - DO NOT ACCEPT the UPDATE). if the baseband reads May 2013, then your only option is to gain root access and freeze/delete the bloatware.
if space is an issue, I highly recommend to go this route. otherwise, start trimming some of the apps she never uses.
