Hey guys, recent new owner of Moto X here. I'm coming from the Moto X 2013, as well as previous phones including the Droid Razr M and HTC Droid DNA. On all of those phones, whenever I received a text message, it would scroll line by line in the notification bar before settling as just the text message icon. Is there a way for me to enable it on this phone? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm using the stock messaging app, which is what I had on all the other phones too.
TIA
Lollipop killed that feature in favor of heads up, as far as I know.

I received my VZW Moto X in the mail yesterday and played with it most of the day before accepting the Kit Kat OTA.
I can't help but notice the change in the digital clock widget... I really liked the bold hour with the thin minutes... any way to get that back without resorting to another app like HD Widgets?
Also, I'm coming from a GS3 and was able to hide apps from displaying in the app drawer on my old phone, which I can't seem to be able to do on my Moto X... is that a Samsung/Touchwiz feature? I ask because I have a couple paid apps with unlock key apps that I got used to not having to see.
I also notice the lack of Developer Options at the bottom of the Settings menu... is that because I'm on VZW?
These are really just minor annoyances and not major problems, but any help would be appreciated.

to enable developer options..
go into settings, scroll to bottom select About Phone..
Then scroll to the bottom and press the build number repeatedly until the developer countdown finishes. voila! you have developer options.
Sorry, I cannot help you with the other things.

It would be complicated, but you could side load an older APK of deskclockgoogle.apk from a 4.2 ROM and disable the preinstalled version. Some additional tweaks might be required. Alternatively, the Chronus app that's available in the market looks identical and lets you customize a ton more.
Check those unlock key apps to see if they give you a native option to hide the icons from the launcher. Otherwise, you can use a custom launcher like Nova to hide the apps you don't want to see.
I tried Chronus but for some reason I can't add the widget to the home screen, it just doesn't show up on the widget menu. I can add it to my lock screen, just not my home screen. Is it a 4.4 compatibility issue maybe?
Edit: Never mind... For some reason it's available in the widget menu now... Weird.

I bought this awesome phone just recently but I cannot for the life remember how to disable this icon in the notification bar. Anyone?
That doesn't appear to be a LG icon. Does not show on online manual for T-mo Flex.
This is a AT&T LG G FLEX.......I've had this similar icon on another phone but i forgot how to disable it.
I've got a Moto X Developer Edition with Lollipop 5.1 on it. I love everything about it except for the fact that some of my app notifications show up as white squares on my status bar instead of the regular app icon which used to show up for me on status bar when I had KitKat. I had been told that this only happens with apps that haven't been optimized for Lollipop. I was willing to accept this until I got Lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 a few weeks ago. I noticed on the tablet that all of the appropriate app icons show up as normal on my tablet whereas the same notification on my Moto X shows up as just a plain white square. I then have to swipe down for my notifications to see which one it is and read it. Is there something that I'm missing in Motorola that will help me fix this issue?
I've got this a lot on two apps in particular. One of them is the 14News app (local news app in my area) and the other one is NASCAR Mobile.
Any help I can get on this would be very greatly appreciated.

Did you try powering down and restarting your phone?

Sure did. Multiple times.

In Settings, Sounds & Notifications, App Notifications, each app is listed, select an app, slide priority on. It might activate display of the icon. Not sure though. You might try clearing an app data, uninstall, then reinstall the app.

I recently got a Moto X 2014, but I seem to have come across a problem. For some reason the text shown when you get a notification in the status bar (e.g. the sender and message of a text) isn't showing up. The status bar icon appears, but no text for any notifications from any apps. I don't think it was doing this at first (although I might be wrong, I'm not 100% sure) so I think I must have changed a setting somewhere, but I can't for the life of me figure out what. Already tried posting this on Reddit, but I've not received any responses as of yet, so hopefully someone on here can help me. I'm running 5.1 (the latest I can get) and I'm not locked to a carrier, if you need to know for whatever reason.
EDIT: I've only just discovered that this was removed in Lollipop. I was seeing them before because the phone came with KitKat installed, and then I updated it. However, the new heads up notifications still aren't showing up. Anyone know what's up with that?
This may not be possible but I figured that I'd ask anyway. Is there any way to get the notification icons that pop up on the status bar to be more like the KitKat icons? I've got some notifications that show up as a plain white square on my status bar ever since I upgraded to Lollipop a few months ago.
Let me give you an example of couple that I'm running into. I have the NASCAR Mobile app on my phone. I also have the 14News app (local news) on my phone. Anytime I get notifications from either of these apps, I get a plain white square on my status bar and I have to take the time out and look and see what it is. I'm wondering if it is something in the Motorola settings that I'm missing because I am also running Lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (8") tablet and I don't have these issues on that device at all.
Any help that can be given to me on this would definitely be greatly appreciated.

do you have greenify? sometimes the system will lump those together if they've gone inactive for awhile and are greenified.

I've never had Greenify on my Moto X at all. These apps that I was talking about are apps that I use and get notifications from several times per week and I'd like to be able to tell at a glance which app is giving me the notification on my phone.
By the way, I've marked both apps as priority and I still get the plain white squares on these app notifications.

then perhaps it's due to too many notifications (sometimes from the same app). I noticed that on some apps like fb. on other apps like scrabble, there is a number embedded on the notification icon.
i believe there is a setting to tell whether or not to group them together or not.
There isn't anything like that on my status bar at all.
Are you asking if its possible to change the notification icon style on Lollipop to that of KitKat/Jellybean then yes its possible with the use of some Xposed mods. If the notification icons themselves appear distorted due to some reason then I'm afraid there is something wrong with the apps perhaps. A screenshot or two would have been really helpful in getting a better understanding of your issue here.
If you're asking about notification ticker, there's a module for Xposed by the name of 'Enable Notification Ticker'. I have it installed myself.

I was hoping that I wouldn't have to root this phone but I may try it one of these days.

I'm not really talking about a notification ticker. I have tried these before and found them to be more annoying than useful for me. Thank you anyway for your input.
