You can see it there that's from a text message. It actually looks like the normal text message icon at first then it turns into the star.
UPDATE: it was the lightflow led app. It has known issues with samsung s6 devices.

I see - looks like the interruption mode star. Glad you got it figured out!

Thats what I thought at first as well but that interuption icon is usually on the right hand side of icons. I'm on 5.1.1 as well.

Anyone else have this iasue and know of a solution if there is one?

Yes it is checked there, I have even tried unchecking and then checking it again but still doesn't work.
This is getting annoying now, I actually use BBM and not seeing the notification on the display is very frustrating. I hear the notification sound but then the lock screen shows no notification and doesn't pulse.
Do you think this is a BBM app issue or an OS issue? Wondering who I can submit this problem to, not that its going to get it fixed anytime soon or anything.
Thanks

I am also suffering from this issue. Notifications have been enabled in BBM and in Moto > Display (for BBM). Running Lollipop.

Yeah, it is really annoying that it doesn't work. I wonder if it is a BBM app issue or the moto app issue.

I have this issue and I'm guessing its an app issue or OS compatibility issue. I disabled the persistant icon in the notification bar, did you guys do that too? I'm going to turn it back on, and give it a shot.

Yes, I have tried turning on and off all notification settings in BBM to see if that would change anything.
I was hoping the new Moto app update would fix this but it does not!! ugh

Tried this morning didn't help.
The latest version of BBM now shows the notification on moto display! Version 2.7.0.20
Woo-hoo! Finally

Notification Icons on Lollipop

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.

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.

Yellow SPen Note

I like the default Yellow contrast of the s pen off screen note. But when you open notes to view your text, the yellow text is hard to see with the white backround. I changed the default yellow to black. But wonder if its possible to change the notes backround to a darker color so I can keep the yellow s pen font.
I've watched alot of hot to and tips and tricks videos and havent seen a work around yet
Not sure if this was always an option as I didn't check until after the recent update to Notes. There's an option to change to color for screen off memos. I changed it to black. It still writes in matching S-pen color while writing the memo, but it's saved in black.

I don't have that option, what version of Samsung notes are you running?
That option only shows up if you select signature color from he SPen menu.

Thanks for this! I went to check how I missed that option, and there was an update available when I clicked for settings in the app. Sure enough, that added the option and it WORKS!
Hi
Yep,
Works, thanks for this tip!!!
Under screen off memo, mine just has a toggle for "Write in signature color". When turned off, the memo is white while writing and saves in black. Much easier to read.
Haven't gotten the update yet

What is the version of the app that's allowing the saved color to be different?
My app is 2.3.01.100. I don't have an update available.
I don't have the option, unless I'm missing something.
Thanks

Thanks jayb222, but I checked that earlier and it's saying I have the latest update and it's not there. I guess I haven't gotten the update that some of you have.

I like the yellow one and just set the writing to thicker one in screen off memo. There are 5 thicknesses and I set to No.4. No problem then to see the yellow writing in notes with white background.
Good job Samsung! It's a small, but frustrating issue. Nice to see that they fixed it quickly!
