That 100+ hour battery life put the Z3C in a league of it's own by the looks of things. If you want that size phone, it can't be touched.
Yep. Which is why it can't compete with any bigger flagships and vice versa. It's leading its very own market segment and there is no competition.
You're very free to bring your own suggestions.
And I don't see how the G3 has "big" problems. They messed up the screen yes, but it's still far and away the overall best phone this year. The Z3 seems to be up there as well from early reports.

I mean, I would be happier if the hypothetical 1080p screen gives me more than 6 hours of screen time, but as it is I can make through the day just fine.

My Lumia 920 has both and it has an IPS screen.

The only real issue I have with it is brightness, but I am indoors like 80% of the time so it doesn't really matter. It's just something for critics to nitpick.
Colour reproduction is also an issues often brought up. For most that's not a problem though.

There's a setting where you can tinker with that though, so if it's really a problem for anybody, there's an easy solution.
Really? Is there any video or article that show a it off?

Swallow the damn pill
Really? I thought they were both means of unlocking the phone?
Have you tried it?
Can you explain what moto display is? I thought it was just a way to display notifications without turning the entire screen on.
Moto Display is a means of seeing notifications without touching your phone. Knock code is a secure way to unlock your phone without pressing the power button first. It actually completely skips the lockscreen too.
I have. It actually makes a big difference in color. I was fine with the default setting but you can definitely adjust the colors however you want. I think if they used a color wheel or something more people probably would have noticed.
Damn. This is making the G3 hop up on my list. Great stuff!

I need some help from Android GAF. My Nexus 5 and its battery life is beyond terrible. I know it's not supposed to be fantastic overall, but today I used it for fifteen minutes during morning hours and afterwards had it be in standby mode on my desk.
Here are some screenshots from the battery info page. Any help on how to make my phone last longer would be greatly appreciated:

You can set the default, either your voice number, your standard number, or the last number you used to text that person.
Nokia's had that in phones ranging from resistive Symbian phones to their Windows Phones regardless of display type (LCD or AMOLED). It's about putting in the time/money/effort add a feature that isn't built into the OS.
It's funny though. Motorola is really starting to be to Android what Nokia is to WP (or at least was prior having a dozen models out there). Don't always have the very best hardware, but add extra features and software that makes it the best overall experience ... and have what some argue to be the best or near best designs.
I was going to record a video on my phone for it to show it, but it seems like the color adjustment effects the screen itself and not the actual software.

Is there a good way to downgrade without losing my entire setup? There are a few bugs that are really annoying me at the moment but not enough to want to do the whole setup thing again. It's still absolutely bull that there isn't a proper backup solution like on iOS for Android.
Can't figure out how to do this... Screenshots?

Huh. Never knew Kristen Bell was pregers.
I had old Xperia U leftover from my wife laying around, so i gave it to my son to use, to be able to call us when he is alone or walking from the school.
Wifey hated it apsolutely and latest available stock rom was crap due to low ram...
Anyway, I loaded lastest/greatest ROM from xda (it was 4.1.2 with mods) and it works so much better... it is like proper phone right now and perfect for the kid.
xda rulez.

The Xperia U was a very small low/mid range phone from early 2011. The Z Ultras screen is literally bigger than the entire U!
heh, Xperia U was kind of premium midrange device in 2012. It is very small by today's standards, hence perfect for my kid.

3.5" with 480x854px, 8GB and 512MB RAM.
But original firmware was very slow and for instance it took my wife 10 seconds to answer the call due to memory swapping going on. Of course she had few apps but not too many - in any case, with new ROMs, phone works a lot better and is perfectly usable. Plus it has a lot of features from newer Xperia's ported, like themes and Stamina mode, it all works good and looks awesome.
Be ready to flash back to KitKit when you find half your apps are broken still.
That bad, huh? Is there a list out there?
No idea it's hit or miss. I know the last time I used it Netflix wouldn't work with chromecast so that was a deal breaker off the bat. Then I found Marvel Unlimited wouldn't load comics so that sucked also.
