I did some digging around and confirmed what ive always suspected: the Facebook app is the biggest memory hog you can have on this phone (and probably causes the sudden exits). While using the app the unit is left with single digit ram - around 8 to 9mb. And the crazy part is even after exiting thw Facebook app, it still runs in the background using up to 40+mb of RAM. You need to force close it everytime to claim back memory.

    how can I move apps to SD? I tried lots of apps that moves apps to SD but it wouldn't work. I read here that android jelly bean does not allow such, is it true?

      If you want to move apps from internal storage to memory card use pc softwares such as mobogenie or download astro,root explorer,es etc.. from google play.
      and you can also free some space on ram with astro file manager or ram cleaner.I have this phone great in the price range good performance design features camera is pretty good.Love this phonE but this phone realy need more improvements.

          This is definitely the best in its price range. Better than some more expensive phones from Samsung, LG and Sony. People experiencing sudden exits should uninstall preinstalled bloat or disable (be careful with system) apps they dont need. Then install App Cache Cleaner and Fast Reboot Pro. If you have root, you can use Greenify. Remember, devices are only as good as the people who use them. A phone can have beast specs but if the user doesnt make an effort to use it properly then all the hardware will go to waste.

                      Anyone out there who'd help me out in deciding whether to buy this phone or not?

                      Just want to ask a few to those who has this phone:

                      Is it laggy when you play games or use apps?

                      I have read that there are people who experience sudden exiting of their apps and returning to the home screen, does this happen to everyone? (Why does it happen btw?)

                      Can it shoot 720p videos?

                      Thanks!
