Hey everybody -
Looking at purchasing moto360 again, but I just have one little question first.
On my old smartwatch, whenever I received a notification of any sort, the screen would automatically light up. Aside from this being needless battery drain it was also terribly annoying / distracting. For example, in a meeting, my watch would just fire up for everyone to see!
I'm wondering if this is still the case, or if this has been fixed in latest editions of the moto360. Ideally, the watch would only vibrate to let me know I received a new message, however the screen wouldn't light up until I touched it. (I realize that theater mode can do this temporarily, but only temporarily!)
I'd really appreciate the help. Thank you!

I'm just wondering if this is something that is supposed to happen. I remember installing an app when I first got the phone that was supposed to do just that, but I deleted it, and have also completely reset my phone since.
I don't recall it doing so initially, but that was also during week one and I have about the memory of the goldfish. If anyone could shed some light on this for me I would greatly appreciate it. It kinda makes pocket dialing a slight problem (I use my phone FAR too actively to set a pattern lock). Thanks.
Oops, meant for this to go in general. Side effect of posting right before bed.
Mods, please move this.
Mine does the exact same thing, did it right out of the box. It dosent do it for email just text messages. I have no clue if its a setting or not tho.
Yeah I think it's supposed to since there are no LED indicators =/
yah that's the default setting. i think you can change it but i'm not sure how. the one thing that bothers me is that texts make the screen turn on but messages from google talk don't.
Okay.
It's just frustrating.
I love the puzzle pieces, but I wish the actual lock screen would be better if there was more specific swipe requirements.
Maybe we can find someone who knows more about the system and figure out what's causing the light up and get it changed/removed.
It just doesn't get along very well with things like NoLED, it takes up to a minute for the app to initialize. and seems the delay is solely caused by the screen light up.
This is how it is supposed to work, guys.

I cant figure out why my phone keeps blinking its notification light. Any one have an idea why?
Most likely a rogue app acting up.
ok thanks for the response
If I may add to this topic without creating a new one, how come my blinking light for notifications will stop after about a minute or so? I recieved some texts but didn't know it until I manually turned my screen on. So I sent myself an email, and it blinked for a minute or so, then stopped. Is this normal?
i actually think that is suppose to happen. Ever htc phone i have had has a certain duration of the notification light blinking and then it will turn off. the only phone i have ever had it go on until i checked the notification is my old droid. i was apply to on the galaxy nexus, but had to use an app to make it work. Light flow is the app

It's actually 5 minutes I think, at least on my phone it is. It is my biggest complaint with Sense and why I switched to cyanogenmod on my evo shift. It would be the one reason I would switch to the GS3 if I had to think of a reason since there are nice solutions that use an amoled screen for notifications that will not time out like that. (an app called noLed, doesn't work well unless you use amoled))
Anyway, it must be coded real deep because I've never seen a dev fix it or even hardly mention it and people have complained about it for years.
It really makes the notification light kind of worthless.
There are some apps like light flow that in theory can fix it but lightflow doesn't work for me when my sound is turned on with this phone so it's worthless right now. Missed reminder might be able to help as well but I haven't had a chance to try it.
Unrelated, but does anyone know how to disable the bright green light when battery is charged? lol
First of all, I'm new to Android phones and this forum I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, if not, let me know.
I've purchased a Cubot One, knowing what I can expect and it really works fluently, but it comes with an issue, annoying sometimes.
Left half of the screen flickers (in a very exact way, just left half), depending on what it's showing. For example, desktop 1 shows the wallpaper and icons flickering, but if you go to desktop 2 that effect disappears. It never happens in an open app, except if it's showing a bitmap or icon, and not always. If you're in the block screen it never happens. If you're using, let's say, Whatsapp app the screen is perfect, and in most of apps.
I make a complain to the seller and waiting for their diasnogtic, but I thing it could be a software issue, so I'm writing here. Could anybody make any suggestion?
Thanks
I keep my phone on silent at night because I have a super jealous partner that freaks out if my phone dings or vibrates late at night. This isn't a problem when my screen is turned off, since the notification light comes on, but I use my phone for gaming, reading and watching movies/tv shows so the screen is on quite often and unless my notification bar is visible (which is usually not the case), I have no idea when I get a text/tweet/game notification/etc. So my question is this: Is there a trick or app out there that will make my notification light work even when the screen is turned on?
I'm still running the stock OS that came on the phone (4.3 I believe?) and I'm unrooted, however I'm not opposed to manually upgrading to 5.1 and/or rooting if necessary
Thanks in advance XD
I actually returned the Moto X Play because the LED notification light didn't work at all even though it's present on the phone. Motorola are a bunch of greedy assholes who want you to buy their "smart watch" just to get notifications now apparently, but that's a whole other topic. During my quest for an on-screen notification I found Light Flow, and I'm almost positive you'll find help with that.
Hi guys
I have a question:
Anyone's knows if it could be possible (with or without root) to switch on second screen only if there are notifications?
Basically I'd like to have second screen ON, only if there is a notification. Many times I have them and I like it to check but the majority of the time I haven't any and I don't care to look at the time,i have a watch! Ahahahah
Thanks for help
