Love this phone so far but one minor complaint is there is no LED for notifications I miss that coming from my S4! I also wish I could rearrange some of the things in the drop down menu but that's minor.
When will we have root access!!!

You can use the camera flash as a LED notification light. Just have to download a app from the play store

nope, it just notifies you via the screen blinking showing you got notifications (forgot the name of this feature)
the same as moto X
I will be getting my turbo this afternoon. I'm also coming from a rooted s4 where I used titanium backup for my backup. I am sure going to miss being rooted ?.
Did you do anything to restore things, especially things from titanium backup, since I can't use tibu with the turbo? A little apprehensive here.
I will be getting the red 32 gb turbo (black one was unavailable on Verizon's website).
I'm hoping the change over goes smoothly.
Kinda sucks there's no LED but what are you gonna do. Its a trade off. When I got my this phone I just downloaded all the apps I had again can't do much with tibu without root access.

I'm a big fan of led notification but I'm not missing it that much with this screen notification feature...
the screen turns on every few seconds and you can see by the icon what kind of notification it is, pretty simple
The LED would be pretty redundant with Moto Display.
I came from the S4 too and I don't miss the LED notification one bit. I love the Moto Display.
I'm trying out the moto display now. Its actually pretty sweet!

Helium works. Just install it in your S4 and backup...
Then run it in the Turbo and you can restore your apps.
Just a reminder, most people had to manually set the device as Mot Composite USB in the device manager menu.
Let me know if it worked for you!
Alex, thx, for your response. I actually got my turbo yesterday afternoon. After signing into it, I just let Google do its thing. It downloaded most of my apps (took 2 or 3 hours), but, wasn't too bad.
I am enjoying playing with the phone and trying to learn how to use it. One thing I really miss about root is not having a good ad blocker (I used MOAB). Do you happen to know of any good non root ad blockers? Haven't googled, yet.

I tried using AdBlock Plus but it didn't work, however a Turbo user said it was working for him in another thread.
Helium can restore the appdata that Google might not be able.
A lot of games still don't cloud backup your saves, for example...

That is what i was hoping for. Even the moto x has it....maybe if we get root we can see if theres any hidden LEDs. Hopefully *crosses fingers*
I believe there is some sort of LED
So I let my DT die night before last and plugged it into the charger.
Low and behold, to the left of the front camera was a green LED in a vertical orientation. When the phone received enough of a charge, this light disappeared and the normal battery charging screen came up.
So maybe there is some LED action here ? I read somewhere else that the MOTO X also has/had a hidden LED.

Interesting...I let my Turbo die before and no LED ever shone on mine. I might have to try it again and see if it comes on. From everything I've read, the X has an LED as well, but people have only gotten it to shine through the bootloader and stuff.

I have been noticing a weird thing with my Droid 3. I love the phone. I haven't had any issues. I do get this annoying green screen effect during transitions. It only seems to happen if I have Netflix or Youtube running in the background. I can fix the problem by going into my settings and turning off my screen animations. I am in the process of getting it exchanged. I will let you know if it is just a fluke or maybe a possible issue with the phone software.
Is this happening to anyone out there with a Droid 3?
video coming soon. Still uploading
I have the same problem between screen changes
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
My wifes did that too, but she was using just texts. I turned off animations and to save battery, and noticed it hadn't come back yet. Thought maybe I was only one
Edit: she says it still does it...hmmm dunno...hope it gets fixed in next update
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA Premium App
tried to replicate the problem on mine, but didn't have any issues. Hmm.
Green is usually an overlay color when drawing from a framebuffer. This just means something is forcing screen output before the frame is fully drawn. It's an out-of-sync drawing issue somewhere in the software or driver and isn't a hardware problem. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it happens so often that it annoys you. It's not hurting anything.
I've seen this as well with youtube...I've also seen it show a partial view of my homescreen while transitioning between menus....not a big deal, but hopefully it'll get fixed soon

Happened to my wifes and my phone today. Kept going to green screen when trying to open the camara app. Had to reboot to make it go away. Im also on my third droid 3 phone.

Yeah, a stuck app that is unable to redraw will do the same thing but instead of a flash it's a permanent green-screen until the app is force closed or the phone is rebooted. I've had the camera do this to me a few times and Motorola has already come forward saying the camera app has problems, including this one, that they're working on.
i could live with an occasional software glitch if everythign wasn't so dammed slow. i've yet to see this phone actually perform a function faster than my D2. the software overhead is unbelievable.

Well we could be in luck, it looks like root on the D3 could very likely happen sometime this week. 2.3.4 has been successfully rooted with the phone already on 2.3.4 and the bootloader still locked. We have P3 all over it now, too.

I had the green screen issue. I uninstalled youtube updates and haven't seen it since, same thing on my girls d3 hope it helps
Somehow the notification thingy (red dot with number of unread emails) is not showing anymore. This is for the built-in email client that came with the Gnote.
I have a feeling its because I have ADW EX as my launcher now. Just want some confirmation, and is there a way to get it back?
Thanks.
If you're using ADW, then you'll need ADWNotifier.
Thanks, but doesn't work with the Samsung email client.

It has killed my phone before. It obviously came up and was there for hours, and the screen just drained the battery. I also assume it prevented the phone sleeping. This was with the Xperia Arc.
There are settings that can prevent this, but then I found the situation fairly useless as the notification was not there when I wanted it. I could not find a method that suited me.
I have no bought (waiting delivery) one of those wristbands that vibrate when you get a notification, call, or leave your phone behind . I think that will work better for me. Still waiting for an Android watch that does not look like a brick on your wrist.

So, as most of you know a root for the AHD came out yesterday. I wanted to say thank you to everyone that worked hours and hours on getting the root, even though Dan gets the money lol. But there are many new comers to android out there, including myself. Coming from the iphone I can tell you everything you can do once you jailbreak and iDevice, but what all have you guys done after you rooted your device. I have owned one android and played around for a while on many, but most of which were completely unlocked and had new roms installed ect. ect. So I thought it would be a good idea for people to be able to post what all they have used the root for so far, so maybe we can use those ideas and make this phone even more awesome.
The first thing I did do was calibrate my battery and have noticed a little bit better life today than I do most days.
I also uninstalled some of AT&T's annoying bloatware (which IMO belongs on NO phone)
So share what you did and give some ideas to all the readers!!!
Thanks again Dan for the root and I know Matt worked for hours and hours on it, so I would like to thank you too

I just installed it, works well. As you mentioned in the OP of your thread, can't kill any apps from it without root. Still really useful though, thanks a lot man.
Coming off an iPhone 4S to the Turbo this is a feature I always envied of my wife's Galaxy's S4. I tested the Turbo for hours at the VZ store and figured it must be a setting somewhere that I simply cannot find. I bought the phone regardless only to learn the close all apps option does not exist. I can't understand why Moto would be so lazy but at the same time it has not been an issue at all. Every so often I just swipe them away. With the high powered spec of this phone you needn't worry. However I do hope to see this feature in Lollipop...

Just so everyone knows. If you were wondering if LightFlow plays nice with the S6 it does indeed.
Even without root all the notification settings im using work wonderfully.
I remember the LED in the Note 2 not giving me very many colors with Lightflow. But so far I have white, yellow, red, blue, green,
Now i wish the developer would make something to use the "edge lighting" in the same way the LED works.
Really, I can't get it to work at all. What setting are you using to make it work? I've been emailing with the developer and still no luck after a number of settings changes.

Yes, after I first unboxed it and started browsing through the settings, I was surprised at how fast it was and how slow my battery life was decreasing. Once I started loading my apps, it gradually started slowing down and now the battery life is horrible. Since it's an AMOLED screen, I might need to stick to dark themes to save my battery life.
