[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveinAsia:
Curious as to what phone you guys are currently using or coming from prior to your decision to acquire the new Moto G. Please state your last or, if you're like me and waiting delivery of your (ordered) Moto G, your current phone.

Me: Nexus 4

Why? I love the Nexus 4 for its functionality and especially for being in the forefront of the developer community. Until 4.4, it got all the updates right away. And even after that, 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 with their respective fixes were issued rather quickly by Google. The dual pane glass design is beautiful and unique, albeit potentially fragile (as some N4 owners have had the misfortune of discovering). And for me, the camera isn't nearly as bad as some have made it out to me. It's no iPhone camera to be sure, but a lot of the the grievances can certainly be chalked up to poor photo-taking techniques (eg., one-handed shots causing 'camera shake').

But for all its positives, I really wish it had better battery life. I'm forever flashing and re-flashing and configuring new kernels and, to a lesser extent, ROMs in the hopes of eeking out a bit more battery life. I regularly read some users of certain kernels getting 4, 5 or even 6 (!) hours of Screen-on-time ("SOT"). I'm lucky to get around 3 hrs of SOT. I check and try to control wakelocks. I undervolt. I turn off GPS and location reporting. I would like to leave Google Now on but dare not. I lower my max CPU to something less than what the chip is designed for. I even 'Greenify'! All to little or no avail. While the battery is enough to last me the day on 50-60% of the days, I do find myself having to curtail usage of my phone around 3-7pm just to make sure it lasts until I get home. I'm often on the road and not near an electrical outlet for a quick mid-day charge (and hate carrying an additionaal portable charger) so battery life is the paramount consideration. And because of this, I've decided I'm willing to give up some of the things I've been looking for such as 1080p (although I can't significantly tell the difference between that and a 720p screen less than 5"), maybe a larger screen (not that important), and LTE (this would be the biggest trade-off of desired features for me). If battery life were not that important, I would just pick up a Nexus 5. Battery life aside, I've been reading that most everything else about the Moto G is rather on par to the N4. Sure the camera resolution might be slightly less, the phone casing a little less elegant and the memory 1 gig smaller, but I'm not a strict adherent to specs as the only determinant of what phone I use.

And, of course, there's the PRICE in the Moto G's favor! Because it's relatively cheap, I certainly don't intend to be babying the G, when getting a replacement in the unlikely event of phone failure, isn't nearly as major a consideration as if my daily phone were an iPhone or most any other premium phones.

Experience so far with the Moto G, if any: None so far. I'm one of those who has a phone ordered from Motorola and waiting for delivery (via my home in California) out to me in Asia. In fact, I've got two on order -- one for my wife and one for myself.

That's enough of me. How about you?
