Help No LED Notification Light (uses ambient display)

I definitely do too, but seeing how my wife's Moto X runs (likely similar with the N6), you might be pleasantly surprised how nice it is.

We don't know yet if ambient display "breathes" like the Moto X's active display, do we? I read one comment from a guy on XDA claiming to have one that said it does not. If that's true, it's quite a disappointment since that's the only way to glance at your phone to see if there's a notification or not. Otherwise if you're not looking at it when the notification comes in, you'll never see it without periodically picking up the phone. :(
 
Nexus 6 does NOT have notification light. It have active display.

I kinda like the light because if the phone is just relaxing on your desk or whatever you dont have to stop what youre doing to pick it up...but idk, maybe active display has evolved...
 
Has anyone gone into detail about how this active/ambient display actually works?

I'm also pretty bummed about the lack of a notification LED, but very curious about how this display works.

according to droidlife its always on with no option to turn off, but you can dim...
 
After reading all I could find, the ambient display sounds great. Already enthused, after reading more about the Nexus 6, I'm more eager than ever.
 
Well that clears that up. I can't believe Google is charging $600 for a premium phone and in order for me to tell whether the phone is low on battery or I received a text or something, I have to physically interact with it somehow. I'm more of a passive user where it will sit at my desk all day while I work. I really don't want to have to get all touchy-feely with it all day. That's a non-starter for me. Thanks but no thanks, Google. I guess I'll be heading back over to the N4 forums.

I find it very believable. There is no such thing as the perfect model for everyone. They cannot possibly include every conceivable feature.

Every single product of any kind is comprised of a series of compromises. The designers create what they think is the best combination based on lots of research, and build the phone.

Hmmm... no replaceable battery, no sd card, no led light? It's not like there wasn't enough room on a 6" phone
 
After having my turbo for almost a week I'm not missing the led one bit. The active display is great. With the turbo if the phone is sitting face up all you need to do is wave your hand over the screen. Only need to touch to actually read the message if a text.
