I wouldn't worry about it. This hasn't even come up in the AC forums. I don't think it's so wide spread.

Is the Moto G a good entry into Android?

Well, there have been some complaints on both AC and Moto Owner forum. It is strange that more people have not complained though which makes me think it may not be all phones. Just wish there was a more objective way to confirm if there is in fact a serious problem or not.
Coming from an iPhone you may be disappointed with the Moto G, as it is an entry level device and will not present you with the best experience of Android that you will find with phones more worthy of competing with an iPhone.
The 2013 Moto X was a great device, apart from maybe the camera and battery, it is still receiving updates and the hardware is still pretty good too. Oh and Motorola offers tons of features that are only found on the Moto X and not the G.
A few features you may find really awesome of the Moto X is the fact that you can simply flick the phone to open camera and you can control to a phone(to a certain extent) with only your voice!
If camera and performance aren't your biggest consideration the Moto G will offer much better battery life.

The RAM management issue is a MASSIVE issue. For me, that is. I can't even play music while using another app.. The launcher has to reload everytime I hit the home button. The keyboard sometime doesn't pull up in Clash of Clans. I know it's a $179 dollar device, but let me run two at least two apps. So frustrating. I'm getting no support from Moto and all their techs tell me to do is clear cache partition. lol, as if I haven't tried it already. Looking for a new device already.

OK so your not the only one for sure. But why aren't all Moto G users saying this? Also why aren't professional reviewers. Amazon has some 400+ plus reviews and just about all love it. It just seems so odd. I am hoping its not all devices but each day more and more people complain.
Sorry, I was in love with this device, and that was the first few days. That might be the time when all the people are writing their reviews. It all changes, don't get me wrong, everything is awesome for a budget device besides the memory management bug.

Have you tried the following:
1 Developer Options
2 Background Process Limit
3 Select the Not more than 4 option (don't reboot or setting gets lost)
If you can try this out and see if it helps that would be great.
Hisense, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I have set the not more than 4 option. It doesn't show any significant signs of improvement.. A little better though

OK thanks. Well have to count on Android 5 and new additional update. Hopefully this fixes the problem.
This phone is a perfect entry android!

Just to let everyone know, I ended up getting an invite for the oneplus one and purchasing that. I got the 64 GB version. This just seemed like a better value. The Moto G was intriguing but after the complaints about RAM this seemed like a better purchase. I have yet to receive it but will report back with experience.

Yes turns out the RAM issue is for real. Out of 1gb available, nearly 800mb is always full which slows the phone down and affects multitasking. Disabling all unwanted background applications does helps a bit but its still an issue.This is in regards to both Moto E and G with kitkat 4.4.4.
The moto g is one of the best ever deals for the money it's less then half the price of a moto x but preforms just as good

I realize this has nothing to do with the Moto G but after deciding to go with the OnePlus One, I made an unboxing and setup video for it.

I own a att branded Moto X 2013 and 2014, att Galaxy S5 Active, and a Moto G 2014. The G is one of my favorites due to pure Android and quick updates, it's already on 5.0.2 while the others are still on 4.4.x for the moment. I'm sure att has a part to play in the slow updating of their branded phones. I think in the future, unlocked / pure edition Moto and Nexus phones are the way to go.
