Flashlight not working after OTA Marshmallow update - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I took on the OTA 6.0 update a few days ago. My Moto X is not rooted and the boot loader is not unlocked. It is completely stock and on the AT&T network. Before the update I could reliably use the chop method to turn the flashlight on, but after the update I can not get it to activate. I verified the option is on in the "Moto" application, but my wrist now hurts from trying a variety of chopping and shaking motions.
I also don't see a flashlight/torch icon in the the notification pulldown quick settings. It is driving me nuts. Has anyone else seen this after installing the update?

Working fine here.

Works the same as loli for me

Do you have the ability to turn on the flashlight from the quick setting in the notification panel?

I have the same issue as you, but I do have the flashlight icon on the quick settings. Curiously, twist to turn camera on works.

I think I would be ok with the chop not working if I could find a way to turn it on without downloading a 3rd party app.

Did you check through SystemUI tuner if the tile can be added back? If not, have you tried to use Custom Quick Settings app on the PlayStore to manually add the tile back to quick settings?

I rebooted the phone, and now it is there in the notification quick panel and the chop is working. That was driving me crazy.
Thanks for the help everyone.

[Q] Quick Remote Question (Notification Bar and Lock Screen)

I'm sure this has been asked somewhere before and I did attempt searching for it but couldn't find anything for this specific problem.
My problem is.. How do you add remotes to the Notification Bar and Lock Screen. I have three remotes set up in the application itself, but when I turn on the Lock screen and Notification Bar features, it keeps prompting me to "Add Remote", even after I use Add remote from there.
Anyone else having the same issue or know what I'm doing wrong? Just got this phone so I figured I'd ask.
Looks to be working fine for me.

I just noticed that mine only seems to put remotes from the prebuilt library up in the Lockscreen and Notifications. Any custom remotes seem to be ignored.
I have a bit a different problem with the Quick Remote.
I setup two TVs in the normal "remote" app from LG and they both are working just fine.
But when I use the Quick Remote from the Notification Panel, neither one is working.
Both remotes are there in Quick Remote and I can switch between them, but as said, neither one does work.
Weird.

I have exactly the same problem and cannot for the life of me solve it.
When I lower the notification bar and press the QuickRemote toggle, it wants me to create/add a remote, eventhough I have 3 of them created. It's the same when I tick the option to show QuickRemote in notification bar when connected to my home wifi, the same with the lockscreen widget.
A reboot doesn't help, clearing app's data doesn't help, manually re-adding the remote controls doesn't help. I'm fairly sure it worked fine before I reflashed with stock through the official LG app.

It looks as though Customized Remotes do not show up in the widgets (notification bar or lockscreen). Only remotes added through the TV,VCR,DVD,etc buttons do. Quite a shortsighted problem there..
Is anybody out there who is able to write a (xposed) mod to enable custom remotes for the notification and lockscreen widget?

Hi,
Firstly, i have N910F Snapdragon, and running Lollipop v5.0.1, on my device.
I am very happy overall and prefer the lockscreen changes in Lollipop
My suggestion about flashlight you most probably wouldn't prefer but to me its even better than having it on lockscreen.!
If you get a SView cover, the flashlight option is available in SView
window if you swipe to the right ... you have "torch" button
So you don't even have to open device!
Just as good alternative?
good luck
is there anyway to Disable the built-in Pop up notification of lollipop????!
i prefer to use a 3rd party app that does what i really need but can not find any way to cancel the notification of the built in lollipop feature
please help..

lock screen notifications!

Android lollipop has made notifications on lock screen.
But can i disable it for individual app. The Option to turn them off in settings also disables it it from the notification bar.
In my case, it is smart remote. It is on lock screen and pretty annoying.
I am using android 5.0 lollipop SM-N900 dr.ketan's rom

Havent installed Lollipop yet.

The best thing I loved about the Moto X.

There is a way!
Remember... I´m on a Swedish phone and I don´t know whats the different tabs and apps are called in english.
Settings/Sounds and Notifications/Notifications(at the bottom of the page)... the same place where you set wich content is shown on the lockscreen. There´s a app-list where you can block apps from showing notifications...

Thank you but it also switches the notification off from the noti panel. I want to keep it there just want to turn it off from lock screen
Oh... I missunderstood

No, you can't do that. I have wasted hours, couldn't find anything, because there isn't anything.
PS: There might be an app which does that, but not really into that.

Quick settings tiles mislabeled

I upgraded my phone yesterday to 6.01, and I'm running stock rooted. Ever since the upgrade, some of my quick tiles are mislabeled. Some examples are that it says hotspot under flashlight, and pattern required when you restart under the airplane mode iconView attachment 3581290
Also, my lockscreen has the clock in the 24 hour format.
Is anyone else having this problem, and do you know how to fix it?
Thanks!
Do you have Xposed/Gravity Box installed? I have noticed on previous devices that when you update Gravity Box it can cause things to display in the wrong spots or look odd.
You could also try going to System UI Tuner and turning those tiles off and back on again.
I don't have xposed installed. I tried to delete the icons and added them back, but they are still mislabeled.
You flashed the key swap. Not compatible with 6.0.1. You need to flash the new version. I had the exact same thing.

Thanks so much! That did the trick. It did not occur to me that switching the softkeys would cause that problem. I will definitely remember this for the future.

Getting rid of heads up notifications while phone is unlocked?

I'm not sure if this is an LG or Nougat thing, but it's seriously annoying. Whenever I use the phone and I get a notification of any kind, it pops down from the status bar (why can't it just go straight to the 2nd screen???) and persists for a few seconds unless I action it or dismiss.
Is there a setting within notifications or apps themselves to make them go straight to the 2nd screen?

Mine pop into the 2nd screen. What app is causing it? I know Textra was doing that until I disabled the pop up notification

Snapchat and Whatsapp are examples. What sort of notification settings do you have? Are you silencing any apps?

Not silencing anything, I just adjusted the Textra to not show the floating reply.
I don't use Whatsapp so can't speak to any settings in there and my Snapchat I have set to Vibrate only(turned wake screen off). Don't get a lot of Snapchat chats so never noticed if its a pop up notification or not

Weird - I found out that "Silencing" notifications is the only way to get them to not pop up... but then I don't get a vibrate.
System UI is a "hidden" feature of Nougat that LG decided to axe, which is extremely frustrating because it has the EXACT functionality someone needs to have full control over their notifications.

Yeah I want that system UI because in it you can do percent in battery notification so it's not next to the battery
It actually started with Marshmallow and was pretty popular due to the simple tweaks it can do that everyone wants. Unfortunately it seems to be more of a carrier issue with disabling it. Regardless, disabling peeking should be a basic option in settings from day 1. Not a super hidden feature in Andriod M and a above with no guarantee of staying. Textra is nice enough to have its own setting. Why other apps do not is baffling.
Someone finding a way to get to the System UI tuner settings would be amazing. As it is now there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off ONLY peeking/heads up notifications that I have been able to find. Maybe HeadsOff will be compatible with N before long.
I can't reply to any notifications in my notifications panel. How do I turn it back on?
