So, I received my Moto X in the mail today. Everything was working as advertised. The Active display and the shake gesture to launch camera.
Then I downloaded LightFlow simply for its beautiful notification settings. I set my custom notifications and everything. Disabling dibrate/tone settings for native apps. Once I did this, everything stopped. No more Active Display. No vibrate/tone for notifications. Even the shake to launch camera function doesn't work. At all. I haven't uninstalled LightFlow yet but I'll try that.
What's going on? Is this a common issue?
Thanks.
Light flow? I don't think the x has a notification LED. Uninstall light flow

If you disabled things with LightFlow it is logical that that would be the reason it stopped working. Curious why you'd use an app to disable notifications and not just turn them off in the apps themselves?
What they said above. Lightflow's accessibility features are likely intercepting the notification before it gets to active display. Uninstalling lightflow should fix it.

No no, I disabled the notifications from other apps so there wouldn't be two notifications for them. Active Display along with the gesture for camera launch works now. But now I can't hear the notifications nor is there a vibrate for the ones I set up through LightFlow. I know there are no LED's (although, the app says there are...?) on the Moto X, I just love LightFlow's customization options for notifications. I love repeating ringtones and custom vibrate etc. Most ofthe time I have my phone in my pocket so sometimes I don't think to take it out to look at the device.
(I'm still used to my Galaxy Nexus)
uninstall light flow. There's a thread on here that shows the Moto X does have a LED behind the ear piece like the Razr HD had, but it isn't wired to work.

So, I'd have to use the stock notification method? I love Active Display and prefer it over a notification LED, but I want custom vibrations and repeating ringtones and all that stuff.
Active Display and Quick Capture
I'm on stock rooted verizon but don't have lightflow and never have. I also have the issue of active display and quick capture occasionally not working until I reboot. It seems fine in safe mode but the only apps of significance I've installed are dolphin browser/jetpack + flash, dead space mobile, juice defender, wifi tether, pandora, adaway, and rom manager. I'm not sure which could be causing the issue, does anyone have an insight?
Additionally, the terrible stock app for selecting backgrounds always zooms in after a reboot yet the third party apps don't place the image the same way (zoomed out and focused on the corner) leaving me no choice but to reset the wallpaper at every boot. Any solutions?

Of those apps you installed I would be most suspect of juice defender causing problems with how the phone normally is sleeping and waking up for active display to work.

I run juice defender literally the entire time my phone is on but I only occasionally get the active display/quick capture failure so I'm not as certain. Regardless I have uninstalled it for the time being as a test. I use Pandora a lot which changes the lock screen so I suspect that I'll disable that next.
Old vs. 2014 Moto X Active Display
I notice that one of the features of the 2014 Moto X Active Display is that one only needs to wave a hand over the device to activate the display. But my 2013 Moto X does that too. So is this really a new feature? Or am I missing something?

Our old one uses the proximity sensor. The new, 4 IR and is more responsive.

Besides tweaking deep into the device OS, there are some general ways to limit the battery drain on your NEXUS 5.
Here is a list of some painless and easily executable steps to make the Battery Juice last longer.
1. Identify the culprit app
Poorly coded apps and the ones with a lot of advertisements are resource intensive. A trip to Settings > Power > Battery Use will reveal the applications consuming most of the battery.
Try to get rid of the apps that you rarely use or don't use at all. There's no reason to keep them in your list and share a sip of juice.
Keep the applications updated, as the updates include bug fixes which make them stable and efficient. Doing so will help you in extending the battery life.
2. Pre-installed applications
Your android device comes with many pre installed applications aka bloatwares. They keep running in the background as a background process and suck most of the battery juice. And in most cases you cannot delete that app. Thanks to the device manufacturer.
You can squeeze some juice by disabling these applications by taking a trip to Settings > Apps. Click on the application and then click Disable
3. Location Services
Using your location to serve you with Google Cards, and to help you find your way with navigation, uses GPS, the largest battery sucker. Turn off the location services from Settings > Location.
Turn off Google Location reporting from here which reports your location to Google time to time, to send you the location of nearby restaurants and other places to visit.
4. Auto Sync
Set apps to sync manually or set them to sync less frequently.
When an app is scheduled to sync, it'll use internet connection — and the process uses power in the background. Set the app to "manual sync" or to sync after a longer duration (3-4 hours). Email services and instant messaging services use auto sync. Keep an eye over Gmail, Yahoo and other applications.
Moreover, select to sync over WiFi instead of 4G/LTE.
5. Display Settings
Tweaking the display settings will provide a major boost to the battery performance.
Set a desktop background which is black in color
Don't always rely on auto brightness as its intensity is always larger than that required. Set the brightness manually to the lowest comfortable level. Using a brightness toggle widget is advised.
Reduce the screen timeout to 1 minute or less. Faster the screen goes off, the more juice you conserve.
Live wallpapers or the animated wallpapers should be avoided.

Hi to all,
Huawei have very bad AOD, it doesn't have any information only time. I found this AOD that have so much settings and very, very, useful.
- AOD (time, calendar, weather),
- Notification (when you get messages on som application like Viber it shows Viber icon, you can touch icon and read message on AOD without unlock it),
- Blacklist app - app you dont want to show on AOD,
- Duble tap to wake, swipe up for camera and etc...,
- Edge lights for notifications,
- Background for wallpaper,
- Adaptive mod,
- Font style,
- Music Controls,
- Automatic move clock,
- And many more settings...

* I havent test batter drain of this application.
p.s. this is not my application i just found it. All the best, enjoy
Hmm... Looks pretty sweet. I will definitely give it a try. It is odd that the Huawei features are so... thin. I mean, why wouldn't they at least give you the ability to toggle notification icons for just a few common apps?
I tried this and the battery drain is high even with just the digital clock on.
Yeah, I said the same in the other thread. It was using 1% in around 10 - 15 minutes and I hadn't even turned on proximity detection.
I used it for half a day. But he consumes a lot of charge. I do not recommend.
Yeah I noticed my battery draining pretty fast too. However I still think this app is pretty cool and worth it, especially over the crappy native AOD... As my phone still gets through a full day usually.
Though if I think I'm gonna have a day of heavy phone use or I'm travelling or something, I'll just disable it.
I'm using this one, which is very good as well.

I think there's nothing which can be done about battery, whatever app you use it will always drain something.

Can u screenshot your settings please? I can't figure out how to have the AOD come up once I've locked my phone. It never shows.

The app doesn't show the AOD when the display goes off. It shows the AOD when the screen is on and you activate it. I uninstalled it.

Yeh i couldnt get app notifications to work either. I tried everything, besides that it looked really nice. But without notifications it rendered it useless.

How do you make it work with face unlock?? It keeps showing the FPrint icon.

It does if you configure it properly. And yeah, there were problems with notifications showing up on the M20 Pro (and I suppose onother EMUI 9 phones as well), but they have been fixed in the meantime.
Must admit I just use it during the day and when I put my phone on the wireless charging pad...just like all other aod apps, it just consumes too much battery to be taken in consideration for constant use (the dev himself doesn't advise to use it this way either). I guess devs can't do nothing about it, it's just the way it is with aod.

Built in AOD consumes very little power but a third party app version doesn't have elevated system privileges so it's going to eat battery like crazy to keep itself open and running.
It's similar to why built in SMS uses very little power but an app like Facebook Messenger is a notorious battery hog.
Freshly installed Pie.
There is alarm clock setup and two hours before there is icon in the notification area and random sounds (like new message received).
Also found out those random notification sounds even when there is no notification or if there is viber message notification - few random sounds will repeat after.
I did not face those issues previously when Pie was installed as upgrade on top of Oreo, but newly installed creates problem.
p.s. I'm still pissed off from Novatek bad display so I hope I can get rid of this device
+1 also got random notifications without there beeing one.
I think it could be related to the option display ambient with the option turn on periodically
@Rubens95 - true.Amazing to put it in Display-Ambient-New notifications - repeat every 2 minutes.
Thanks.
Now one issue is left - random notifications without any even, but they are rare and not so annoying.
Cheers

It seems HMD Global finally found the killer app, but unfortunately it is killing other apps!
https://dontkillmyapp.com/nokia?1
Nokia on Android P kills any background process including sleep tracking (or any other sport tracking) after 20 minutes if the screen is off. Also when killed all alarms are stopped which renders for example any alarm clock apps useless.
This is not my work...
Found this from a AdroidPolice article
DontKillMyApp.com shames OEMs that needlessly kill useful background processes to save battery life
After killing this app, now Google Fit and all other notifications and alarms work again. Yeeeee!
That's bad reputation from their side. Disappointing.
But my issue was the 'Ambient Display' - anyway thanks for sharing.
I want to disable power drain notifications for some apps, like the music player. Did not find a way to customize this.
Another thing: it looks like it has an adaptive power saver but it's more aggresive than the Android stock one. It sometimes takes 1 day or until I open the messaging app to receive messages. Is there a custom setting somewhere that I'm missing? I've just enabled the adaptive power save that I also have on my Pixel, which worked ok. No 'extreme power saving' features have been activated.
Which system mode are you using? The most extreme is the ultra durable mode. Advanced is the customisable mode. I'm using ultra durable (with some changes), adaptive battery and even a 3rd party app called Naptime and have no problems receiving messages.
I was using the standard (dynamic) mode, then switched to advanced and disabled all of the options. Now, after the latest system update, it works better, but was wondering is there anything that I can do. WhatsApp and Signal both took hours to sync with the phone screen turned off.
Oh so you need apps to sync in the background? I thought you don't receive SMS messages lol. If you already disabled "force restriction to background sync" in advanced mode's settings, check if WhatsApp and Signal are optimised in apps & notifications>special app access>battery optimization
