Hello Android world!
I am a long time Windows Phone user and recently decided to make the switch to Android. Now, I'm on no contract and didn't have a bunch of money to spend on a new phone so I decided to go with the Moto G (2014) because of its price, the fact it already had Lollipop, and how well it was reviewed by the tech media. So a couple of weeks ago I went out to Best Buy and went ahead and bought it for $180.
At first I was in love, the phone felt great in the hand and the size was perfect for me. But then I started experiencing issues. The phone lags like no other. I would go to launch an app, and it sometimes take 15-20 seconds for the app to even open. Sometimes the phone won't even register that I tapped on something, and the keyboard (have been using Google Keyboard) seems to lag quite a bit and misses entries. At first I thought it was the fact that the phone needed to be broken in a bit, but it hasn't gotten any better.
I have tried clearing the cache partition, multiple hard resets, even deleted the Facebook app because I have read that that slows down devices. Is this common with this phone? Should I make a warranty claim on the device or get a more powerful device? Thank you for your help in advance!!
