Does the moto z have a notification light?
No I don't think it does since it uses moto ambient screen for notifications.

Bankz, the mod can do either. If you attach the mod to the phone if the phone is not at 100%, the mod will recharge the existing battery, and like some chargers, will allow the phone to use the charger as its power source instead of the battery. So, if you use the mod on the phone like it is a part of the phone, aka on the daily and/or attach the mod when the phone is at 100%, the phone simply uses the mod as its power source instead of the internal battery. The efficiency mode allows the phone to use its own battery, and in this mode, the mod will charge the phone to a certain percentage (80% or 100%) and keep it there, by simply charging the internal battery and applying charge to the internal battery, once it has reached said percent, in the most "efficient" conditions to maintain it at a given percent. So the mod is multi-faceted, in that it has many functions.
Thanks for the explanation. Just to clarify, when the mod is not in efficiency mode (ie, phone stays at 100% until the mod runs out of battery), the phone uses the mod as its power source rather than the internal battery? I would have thought the mod just continues to trickle charge the internal battery, such that the phone is using the internal battery, which is being charged by the mod.
If the phone was on trickle charge at 80% or 100% depending on whether efficiency mode is enabled, then the battery would discharge because the input of charge would be less than the output. The phone cannot use its own battery if it is supposed to stay at a certain percent while the mod is on.Oops!!! Veteater already explained it all. Just seeing it now. He says the mods doesn't make any difference as to weather the battery gets worn out or not. If that's the case then its no problem then.
Hello everyone,
I had the Droid Maxx and it was able to read me my text messages with the phone locked, screen off, and not plugged in or charging. All I had to do was use the voice command "ok Google, what's up?". I just picked up a Moto Z Force yesterday and tried to use it in the same way, but it prompted me to manually unlock my phone. My question is, is there a way to have the phone read out my new text message completely hands free as I used to do with my Droid Maxx?
Is it true that the Moto Z does not support Miracast? It is showing no devices when people are trying to connect via the Wireless Display Settings.
