      Hi DeirdreJ, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear the phone has not been performing as expected after just two months of use. We understand how concerning it can feel when a device starts behaving unusually, especially when it seems like it may be affected by unwanted software behavior. To help improve performance, we recommend restarting the phone, checking for the latest software update under Settings > System > Software update, and reviewing recently installed apps to see if any coincide with when the behavior began. Running the device in Safe Mode can also help determine whether a third-party app may be contributing to what you’re experiencing. To take a closer look and assist you further, please send us an email at supportforums@motorola.com with more details about what you are seeing on the device, such as pop-ups, slow performance, or unexpected behavior, and our team will be happy to help you from there. -Mitch MotorolaMobility

      Hi Dvelle, We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Slow is sometimes caused by too many running apps in the background, use your recent apps button to close apps you're not using. It is also a good practice to restart the device periodically (every 2-3 days) to clear out buffers and memory that may lead to intermittent issues. If the concern persists, kindly go to this link: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/mcp/landing_troubleshooter/g_id/5059 > Next > Display/Touchscreen > Phone is slow/unstable and try the recommended steps there.

    This is a very poorly programmed cell. At least 1/4 of the time, I cannot even answer when it rings because the screen for answering it does not show up! I had a Motorola years ago, that not only cost less, it worked SO much better! I never had any issues with it whatsoever. It's outrageous that after all these years they're now selling a far inferior product. DO NOT BUY.

      Hi SreenivasakumaC! The Moto G 5G (2024) is an affordable smartphone that might show some lag right from the start due to its limited hardware capabilities (4GB RAM) and the demands of configuring a new device.
      Immediate Solutions
      1. Turn Off "RAM Boost": Numerous users have reported that disabling the virtual RAM feature ("RAM boost") greatly enhances the device's responsiveness, as the storage speed isn't sufficient for this feature to work effectively.
      2. Restart the Device: A quick reboot can help alleviate memory congestion temporarily.
      3. Adjust Refresh Rate to 60 Hz: Modify the display setting from "Auto" or "120 Hz" to "60 Hz" to lessen the load on the processor.
      4. Update Software: Make sure the phone is updated to the latest software version, as Motorola often provides patches that enhance performance.
      We would love to hear how it works out for you. -Nate MotorolaMobility

    Very basic phone. The battery takes a lot of time to change, you cant take apps off you don't want and you have to push hard on screen for it to work. In addition the keyboard is very poorly designed. Would definitely NOT buy again.
