“Though it comes with a lot of bloatware and doesn't take the highest-quality pictures, the LG Motion 4G is still a solid handset to consider. With its 4G LTE connection, zippy dual-core processor, and affordable price, the phone packs a lot of punch into a tiny frame. In addition, it's perfect for anyone who wants one of the latest Android OS phones without a contract.”

In Depth

If you’re on a budget but clamoring for value, the LG Motion 4G might just catch your eye. It runs a newer version of the Android operating system (Ice Cream Sandwich), and thanks to a 1.2 GHz dual core processor, does so very smoothly. CNET’s tests show that “Opening large apps (like games) is a snap, the camera’s shutter is impressively speedy, and there was no lag time when transitioning back to the home screen”.

So what’s the catch? Well, this device is very small with only a 3.5 inch display. It is easy on the pocket, but when you try to do regular tasks like typing, you end up slowing down as you fumble with the display.

The smartphone has a decent battery life, lasting about “2 hours less than the average for all Smartphones”according to Techcrunch. The small build only allowed for a small battery, but at least, the dense construction makes it more durable than the rest.

The Good: One of the few budget phones that runs Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android, decent camera speed.

The Bad: Small display, poor battery life.

After a lot of research and testing all those apps and more, there is no way I have found or anyone else has found to move apps to the SD card on an LG motion unless you root it. People suggest not rooting it because that slows the phone way down.

There are free apps available from Google Play to help you move your apps from phone memory to your memory card. Here are some of your options:- App 2 SD - Move Apps - App 2 SD - App2SD - Save phone storage

Hi Colleen. The phone itself should still be under warranty. You should insist that your phone get fixed. If they refuse, you should ask why. Maybe they have a valid reason. Just make sure they explain so you know why.

Some apps open automatically and runs in the background. You can try installing a task killer to stop them from opening, As for the history that shows up in your phone, when you're logged in to your Google account in your computer, it will sync with your phone. I saw this just the other day and I was also wondering how it happened. Good thing I figured it out :)

Unfortunately, you can't choose where to install your apps. What you can do is to move them from the internal memory to your memory card. You may need to root your phone before you can use the apps to do it. Once your phone has been rooted, you can download apps such as Link2SD to move your apps. Just note that some apps are meant to be installed to the internal memory and moving them to your memory card can cause them not to work.

Multitasking is possible on the LG Motion 4G. You can use and switch among several open applications. 1. Touch and hold the Home Key. A screen with the icons of the applications that you’ve used recently will appear. 2. Touch the application preview of the application you want to use or touch the Back Key to return to the current screen. 3. Touch an an app preview to open an application you’ve used recently.
