Love what I've read about this phone except for the crappy camera, small battery, and no external SD support. If it doesn't have a notification led I think I'm going with the GS5 as my current GS3 has treated me well for the last 2+ years. Anyone?
No. And maybe you should try something beside a Galaxy. You won't believe how fast and smooth stock Android is and when a phone isn't made of entirely cheap plastic.

Why would you want a notification led instead of moto display?

To see if I have any notifications by quickly glancing at phone

With the Moto X you can do that and actually see from which app the notification is without touching it. And with just touching the screen one time, you can read the notification.

So from across the room or even a few feet away looking over (no hand wave over it or anything) at the moto x I can tell if I have notification(s)?
What I like about my GS3 is the color of the led tells me which app the notification is for and I can see it from across the room.
The active display will blink the icon of whatever app has a notification on the screen. It's not color coded like a normal led and you may have trouble seeing the icon from across the room. However, you can just say "OK Google: What's Up?" and the phone will say the time and read any active notification/text messages. (Incredibly useful while driving.)
It will probably have a hidden led like the original X, just hope the brightness can be tweaked this time.

But this led can only be used for charging status? Or did someone figure out how to use it for notifications? If yes then I'll go for it.

It's only for a charging led. I think some cm roms have it worked out for a notification light, ONLY when it's plugged in. You lose the moto features with cm based roms tho.
I just went to Verizon and held the one m8 and old moto x. I'm not a fan of the feel of the m8 and the notification led is so small that it's pretty much useless. But I like that I can flash a pure android ROM (gpe) and it has other good specs.
I love how the old x feels, it's perfect. It sucks that Motorola is making it bigger as the smaller size would have been a big selling point for me.
Tough to decide between the two, or even the gs5.
2014 moto x does have a notification light
And it works for more than just charging
you can just yell, ok google now, news? and the moto x will tell you each notification you have without touch it.
It doesn't tell you everything but it tells you missed notifications

Source?
Maybe go look in the 2014 moto x thread and see what those who have one say. Besides you can see it in YouTube reviews
Have seen at least seven or eight YouTube hands on videos, none mentioned anything about a notification light. Will check the new X topic.
Notification LEDs are irritating to me and useless because they don't tell you if the notification is worth your time or not, so you just turn on the phone for nothing a lot. Active Display/Moto Display is pretty damn intuitive.

Well after using the X for two and a half months now I will have to disagree with you
I also at first really liked the Active display, still do, but I would take back the old LED notifications. I just hate to wait some 6 seconds for the notifications to appear on the screen. Also you will have to to look at the display from straight on, with LED notifications you can see it from most angle (not the hTC M series like stupid ultra tiny dot one!), and you can set the colour, so that's damn easy, for me.
Has anyone else noticed a subtle color change, almost like a flickering when when unlocking the moto display? It is something fast but it does happen and it is getting annoying.

Yes, and it's so miniscule you wouldn't notice unless someone pointed it out.
My opinion: get over it.
I didn't notice such a thing. Not even when you point it out.
What are you talking about? I don't see what you mean while unlocking the moto display

yeah, I am trying to do that! I kinda think this could be software related so a update could fix it

Ok i updated moto display, now I see it as well. The normal lock screen appears for a millisecond. The fact that I didn't notice it before the update proves that it wasn't there before and should be fixed easily by Motorola.
For now I deactivated the lockscreen, I never really used it.
Hi, led my moto g 2014 is not centered, but is slightly below. It's normal or not? Thanks!!!

Yes it is normal..
The led diode is placed a little bit deeper inside the front panel. In comparison to the 1st generation moto G.
Which has a different setup..
moto e 2015 is comparatively a low end device and it also does not have LED display but it have active display feature ,system dump of moto e 2015 is available and it is also in lollipop 5.02 same as moto g2 ,so can we port this feature to moto g2?

Which works very well BTW. You'll probably see a little more hit on the battery, but active display reportably uses more battery.

I wish we had an AMOLED display because this app allows you to have the background completely black so that way it would save some battery when it's on.
It has some quirks, like when playing music it would not respond fast enough when turning the screen on, or when a notification arrives, the LED will work only when the screen is on, but when it turns off, the LED would stop working too.
All in all is a great app, and it's free.

Got the same thing, just at the lower center part. But it is only visible under certain circumstances. Not a big deal for me tough.
