This bugged me so I googled it... should be nailed to the top of the QandA forum.. every Moto droid ive had original, droid x, droid 3 and razr m have had this but moto x doesn't have it until you root and activate it??? Did they hire Homer Simpson as the new developer... wait.. it's the google maps idiot.. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/surprising-news-moto-x-has-a-notification-light/
The fact that Active Display works and the X8 chipset was designed specifically to provide that functionality - that Active Display IS how you receive notifications - seems perfectly logical to me. The Moto X is not a Droid device, it doesn't act or work like one in most respects, and the Active Display + Touchless Control are both aspects that further create a divide between the Droid line and the Moto line.
I get the idea of a "notification light" but I mean really, if people don't buy a Moto X to make use of Active Display and whatever, why the hell are people buying it?
It won't work as a notification light. Actually, I think cm or something got it to work ONLY when the phone is plugged into a charger. Kinda pointless. Lol
It will work as a battery charging indicator with a tasker profile. Or app made by tasker.
But yeah, its not really a notification led.
So if it isn't plugged into a charger....it won't do anything.

I like the active display way better than the light. Seems like a step back. On the other hand I hate restrictions so they should have made it an option in the strange case that someone would prefer it.

It's not a notification light. It's a light for when you are charging a dead phone. It cannot be setup as a notification light....did you even read the article you linked us to?
The Moto X has Active Display, so it doesn't need a notification light....the screen IS the notification light. The green light behind the speaker HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NOTIFICATIONS.....so I don't know what you're on about.
You don't have to "manually activate it"....it already works & functions as intended out-of-the-box. The light comes on when you plug up your dead phone. That's how it was intended to function, and that's how it functions.
I use it only to light up when the battery is fully charged.
If i could have a active notification for this, i would preffer it

It's not a notification light, it's for when the phone is COMPLETELY dead so you have some indication that it's charging. They didn't put a notification light because ActiveNotifications was designed for this phone.

Y'all think they'll be available, seeing as how this seems to be based on the droid turbo with most of the same hardware?
I had a moto x (2013) and loved those features, just wasn't crazy about the battery life.
A nexus 6 with working active display/moto voice would be amazing.
It looks like Google has incorporated similar features into Android itself.
There's something new called Ambient Display, which is similar to Moto Display.
You can say "OK Google" with the screen off, which is functionally similar to Moto Voice — albeit without the custom launch phrases.
Moto Voice records your voice and then pipes that recording into Google Now. Since this new feature launches Google Now directly, it's probably a lot faster than Moto Voice.
Is there anything setting need to do before OK Google works with screen off?

To be honest I rather have Moto Display than Ambient Display, Google's version just has soo many flaws, and sometimes its not consistent and not only that, theres not much features
If porting the Moto Display and other goodies from the X will be possible I'll be keeping a close eye out
I exported most of the files required for it, but am stuck at the Motorola-specific signature process... And life is getting in the way as well.
Anyone see that China is getting the moto x pro? It's basically the nexus 6 without the nexus branding. Any bets on whether it'll come with the moto tweaks and that a ROM can be made for the nexus 6?
Does anyone know if the moto voice has been ported for the Nexus 6? I like that the moto voice will read your messages to you.

Not yet. I think the best bet would be perhaps getting a dump from the Moto X Pro, which is the Chinese variation of the Nexus 6. China doesn't have Google services, so the Nexus branding has been dropped and all Google apps, but Moto looks to have added their apps to it. Some pics here, which you can see some of the icons on the home screen (unsure if it will have all of the Moto apps though).

Theres a Moto X Pro system dump in this thread.
The Moto X Pro bootanimation.zip uses video files and videodesc.txt instead of .png images and desc.txt like Nexus 6, but it works by just copying /system/bin/bootanimation file from Moto X Pro to Nexus 6, changing permissions and rebooting. Can the same be said for the Moto Apps? Just copy all the apks from /system/priv-app on Moto X Pro to same place on Nexus 6, as well as the /system/lib and /system/bin files?
If anyone knows how to do this it would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime I'll be searching for threads that point me in the right direction and trying the method I mentioned to see what happens.

Nope ,unfortunately .Rather than looking here ,seek for help out in other communities ,seems like there are no enthusiastic developers who will do this /devs or other users have less interest in such things .

already have, thanks. Just checking to see if u had an updated. If I find out anything, i'll post here.
My daughter is trying to set up the voice assist and no matter how quiet it is it says it is too loud. I tried it in a closet in a room with the door closed (insert tasteless joke about coming out of the closet here!) and had the same error. Any suggestions or is this a known issue.
Thanks

Try it late at night when everything is much more quieter, you'll have much better results. You might feel its quite enough but the background noises really affect the setup. Also, make sure you place the phone and speak as shown during setup, it does help when held in that particular way.

I have the exact same issue with one moto x 2014, I return the unit (for other problems).
Hi, I have the same problem here.
The thing is, it only broke after Moto Voice update. I'm using a Moto X XT1097 Retail Br, and it worked just fine the week I bought, then the app had an update and it stopped working
I was enjoying so much the voice control, please come back! lol
Hi, I know that some of you have used the Moto X 2014 Moto feature and you missed the good 'ol Moto display, wave your hand and stuffs and you want Moto X play to be the same.
Now I've been using this app ever since it released the first version (1.0) on my Sony X8 and Sony C2305, I'm still using it now and it works like 95% of the times.
