.. I use hangouts for SMS and it doesn't light up active display when I receive a notification even though I have it checked to do so, and notifcations on in hangouts.. I even tried turning on notifiations for sms app and still nothing..
4.4 Rooted. VZW
any ideas?
edit: restart and unselecting then re selecting hangouts worked.
Moto X, 4.2.2 stock, rooted
When receiving a an email, message, or whatever (e.g., Gmail, snapchat, kakaotalk, google voice), the active notification appears as normal (vibrate/sound + screen display), but then the phone repeatedly displays the notification until it's unlocked. I do want the initial notification, but just the one. After the initial notification, further notif. only display the screen (no sound/vibrate).
When there isn't a notification, it doesn't display the clock over and over again as if I'm picking it up, so it's not like it's being moved around or something.
It did not used to do this, but I'm not sure exactly what setting/app/whatever would have caused this.
'Active notifications' has an option to disable certain apps or turn off completely, but there are no 'repeat' or 'lockscreen' settings located there, or in individual apps.
When I googled/searched for the issue (key words: active, notifications, repeat, stop, android, alert), I found these related posts, which seem to describe what I'm experiencing (albeit on different phones). Edit: ah, I can't post links yet, if you would like to look at them, please google the parts-of-the-url below

Has anyone else had this problem? What settings, if any, can I check for to disable these unwanted (repeated) notifications or how else might I go about it?
This isn't a bug or an issue, it's a feature. It's something called "breathing" notifications.
Every so often, the phone will give you the notification again just to be sure you saw it the first time. There is no way to remove or alter this feature through Active Display's settings.
If you are looking for an equivalent to Active Display, a good one (and the only one I know of) is DynamicNotifications by GreatBytes.
Have you tried swiping the notification to the side? That should dismiss it.

It seemed to me it wasn't normal behavior, as I don't remember it happening when I first got the device, but if you say it's intended, I'll go with that.
DarkWolffe: you say "every so often". The notifications are appearing every 5 seconds or so. Is this inline with what your own experience? If I can't change that interval from the native settings, might the app you linked be able to? It seems that DynamicNotifications is made for devices that don't already have Active Notifications. (perhaps I'm supposed to disable AN and only use DN?) Thank you for the link, though, I'll check it out.
scottjb: Ah, I figured that out sometime after making this post, but thank you for that tip. It's useful when I may actually see the phone, but when I'm away from the phone or sleeping, for example, I'd prefer it not to behave that way. I realize it's an AMOLED screen, so the battery really shouldn't be affected too much, but it doesn't feel right to have it turn on over and over again so often.
Knowing they're called "breathing notifications" has allowed me to better search for related topics. It seems that turning the phone over or putting it in a pocket will stop the breathing. I'd still prefer if I could change the interval somehow, but I'm satisfied to have figured most of how it works out.
The interval of the notifications seems to change over time. When you first get a text message etc it seems to flash the notifications more often, after some time I believe it slows down a little. You can have the feature disabled at night, my ringer is silent from midnight to 9 am and my active notifications are disabled from 1 to 7 am. When disabled at night it only stops it from displaying on its own, if you move the phone it will still display the clock and any notifications.
LG Pulse with KitKat 4.4.2 same issue
I don't have a Moto X, I have the LG Pulse from Virgin Mobile Custom. My notifications do that, too! I have KitKat 4.4.2. I have never experienced this and I certainly would NOT make it a default nor intended action. Mine start out at the first notification + sounds, then 10 seconds later, 15 seconds later, 20 sec, 25 sec, etc. It is very annoying and there is no option in the system settings nor individual app settings to stop that behavior. I may just have to turn off notification sounds as this is ridiculous.
You can try setting the "sleep at night" option, and adjust the time to be on all the time (1am to 12am).
I believe this setting is supposed to suppress the breathing notifications. Though, it won't stop it from showing if you move the phone around... I know this cause my phone charges on my bed at night and when I roll around, it triggers AD, even though I have sleep mode on.
Hope it helps!

tapa'd on my moto x
Quick background, I took the official lollipop update on the 2014 moto x pure edition, performed a factory reset to make sure i would have any fc
question:
ever since the update, whenever i select a a ringtone, the volume starts off really low the first time, and then gets louder. anybody else having this issue?
update: looks like when the phone rings, the ringtone volume starts of low, and then ramps up. is this a setting that i can turn off? or is it a bug? or a feature?
i'm experiencing the same behavior, however, it was happening on my device with KK as well. been exploring for an increasing ringtone option but haven't found it. also trying to figure out why i'm not seeing heads-up notifications for new email, text msgs, etc.
Basically it is a "feature" I believe, Samsung S3 had the same thing. There maybe an app available to change this or if you are rooted there might be a way to change the setting via exposed (although I don't know if it has been updated yet for lollipop or possibly look at the build.prop file though if you don't know what your doing with that, I wouldn't touch it as you can foobar your phone messing around with it.... If it was me, I would post it in the dev thread and see if one of the dev's have the answer. Or check Google, in the short search I did, apparently Moto G 2013 had this "feature" also.....
^^^ahhhh.... the 'ole "undocumented feature" (that's not a bug)...
if the rest of you are experiencing it, then i guess its a feature.... i guess i wanted to see if i set something up incorrectly or it was indeed a feature... .
It does this on kk. Didn't you notice it then?

I don't recall this on kk. I'm sure that this was not happening in kk for me.
Definitely doesn't / didn't do it on kit Kat for me either. Does it now though..
Hey all,
Just got the update to lollipop on my 2014 moto x pure edition with an Att sim. I've noticed a strange bug. If I get a notification from any app and touch the drop down notification with two fingers, the notification freezes and won't go away by itself. It has to be swiped away. In addition, I can't open the app by tapping the notification. Bug persists until the device is restarted. Anyone else have this bug?
Thanks!
I just flashed the stock image upgrading my Nexus to 6.0 MRA58K and for the most part love it but I have one issue that is driving me nuts and google isn't helping me.
I use GoSMS as my texting app. If the phone is awake, I get the pop up and ringtone notification when I get a text, but when the phone is asleep and I receive a text, the screen will wake up briefly showing the message but not ringtone. I have gone in to apps and set GoSMS as priority and gone through all sorts of settings to try and get it figured out with no success. Meanwhile if I get an email or even a tapatalk notification when the phone is sleeping, I will get the screen waking up and the notification ringtone just fine. I have a custom ringtone for GOSMS only so don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Anybody else run into this or know what could fix the issue?
