I returned my 16GB Moto X Pure Edition because it wasn't enough space for me

[rushmore]

I wouldn't assume just a few weeks. You can hope that but I wouldn't count on that.

This.

there seem to be a bug that inorrectly shows free space on the 16gb version.I moved all my apps to SD card and the phone shows also just 2gb free internal storage. however, the bar graph clearly shows 60% storage empty - BUT, only if you wait 10-20 seconds. Upon opening it shows 80% full.

Additionally, I manually added all the remaining app files in my phone storage, they add up to only about 1gb or less. But STORAGE shows over 3gb.

Something is wrong in the available space count.

After installed all the app I always use I have 4gb available on my X 16GB and I have 64GB card for my music and movies..so I am totally happy.

Why would anyone waste their time with 16gb?

Why not? Everyone's usage is different.

After Moto's screw up with rushing out Lollipop too fast, I want them to make sure everything is working before pushing out the Marshmallow update.

This is epic. I guess you need to understand the limitation. I know even if you get 100GB space than also you keep complaining!!
Bro this is mobile not computer where you install as much as you can. Also lots of Apps make mobile slow and again you start complaining about process.

I'm glad I didn't settle for 16GB this time around.

Re: Do not get the 16gb option.

Same here. 9GB is plenty of free space for me. I have Samsung S4 and currently have 4.3GB free (have moved some apps to 64GB external storage). I don't play games and don't have un-necessary apps. Waiting for my Moto x pure 16GB to be delivered on Sep/22nd

I can't remember if 16gb was enough for me, but I will try.

Re: Do not get the 16gb option.

Usage is dependent person to person. For me 16GB is good enough.

I just returned my moto x pure because I decided to be cheap and get the 16gb option. I was thinking that I could move all of my apps to my SD card. Boy, was I wrong. When you first get it, you only get 9GB Free. After I install the apps I use the most, I was left with only 2GB left and that's after I moved all the apps I could to the SD card. I was planing to make this my end all be all of phones. It is a great phone, but only 2GB left and I had for less the a week, I returned it and planing on get the 32gb option as soon as I get my refund.

It seems like incredibly poor planning on your part. Obviously you knew ahead of time what apps you were going to install. It would have been trivially easy to determine your storage requirements.

I feel bad for companies that have their return policies abused because their customers can't do the most basic analysis of their own needs before they purchase a product.

How can Anyone Survive with just a 16 GB XPE?

I just got the XPE 3 days ago, after spending most of the last 5 years with Apple iOS. I've already got about 90 Apps installed and just a touch over 16GB left in my 32GB XPE. And I'm saving media to an SD card, so if I had ordered a 16GB model, I'd be done already. I'm pretty surprised I filled it up so quickly.

- What can I do differently to use less internal memory?
- Maybe there are some changes I should have made in the Settings that would have been more efficient?
- What makes up all that Cached Data?

Download "Clean Master" from the play store. Inside the app you can delete cache and junk stuff that slows down tour phone and eat up alot of memory.

For your question about the Cache Data, this is a classic reference as to what it is. Android 201: How (and when) to clear app cache or data in Android | Android Central

Still valid today, though. I regularly cleared my Cache on the S4,not required as muchmuch on my 64 GB GNote 5. Knowing the issues I was having with the S4, I knew my days with 16 Gig phones was done, and knew 32 would be getting squeezed in short order, so I went 64.

What is the difference between the instructions above and the instructions here --> http://forums.androidcentral.com/moto-x-pure-edition/581029-how-clear-cache-partition-recovery-moto-x-pure-edition.html#post4683304?

When would you use one over the other? Thanks!
