I am hoping to be able to "bump" my phone to see notifications. I understand that wave-to-wake is gone, and while I miss it I understand that it won't be back on Lollipop.

Not sure; if I nudge my Moto X sitting next to me the screen illuminates. If there are waiting notifications, I see those icons otherwise I simply see the time and the padlock icon. It does seem to take a bit more of a nudge than I recall on Kit Kat; but it is waking the phone and displaying expected details.

I hope it serves you well. I bought an iPhone 6 a couple of months ago, but the darn thing drove me nuts. Seemed like many operations required far longer to accomplish on iOS. I returned it to Apple after a week of cursing. But I expect to retire my Moto X DE within the next couple of months, as well. I have my eye on the new Nexus 5.

I've tried to update my Moto X a few times, and every time I get an error during the update animation. After my phone resets, I get an error message saying "there was a problem updating your Moto X". Any ideas?

You're phone probably does pass the pre-flash verification of the OTA file. Is your phone stock or modified?

So far I only have one weird issue ( after multiple reboots to get google services updated ) when my phone is in the red battery wise my wifi connectivity keeps dropping off. I checked the battery saver settings and I have it set to never run. As soon as I plug the phone in the WiFi connection is stable again until the battery drains to 15% again.

Good news is I'm back to 10-12 hour battery

Make sure it's enabled under "trust agents." (Security)

It's stock. I googled the error, and it looks like most other people with the problem had rooted their phones...

I tried doing a factory reset, but it didn't help.

Don't know if anyone posted this yet, but my WiFi stopped connecting since I updated. It see the available WiFi networks and tries to connect but can't. Even faster clicking to forget and re-entering the WiFi password.

I'm happy with Lollipop. It makes it feel almost like a new phone. I ran into a period where the battery was draining fast, but clearing the Cached Data fixed that (I occasionally had to do that on KitKat as well if the battery was draining or the phone was charging incredibly slowly).

Bluetooth in my car is working both better and worse. Before the update, the only way to use Moto Voice over the bluetooth was to set the car audio to Bluetooth; it would not work if I was listening to the radio, even though calls come in over the car audio when listening to the radio. Now Moto Voice will (sometimes) work if I'm listening to the radio or even have the car audio turned off. I say sometimes, because sometimes it does not work at all. Yesterday I got it to work once, and then it stopped working completely. I got to my destination, and on my way home, the phone was not connected to the car Bluetooth at all. But I found in the Moto App under Voice an "Audio Troubleshooting" option that says to select if Bluetooth or car audio readout is inconsistent, so I selected that and will see if it helps.

Yep, same here.

I like the priority mode, the lock screen notification stuff, and the built in ART, but don't like how they took out the data toggle api and the bright white mode that seems to sap batteries even faster. Some steps forward, some back. Of course if you're having any of the problems that I've read about here and elsewhere it is a giant step back. So far so good for me (knock on wood). Evidently YMMV to a great extent.

Design wise it seems inconsistent. Some animations are nice, but that novelty wears out pretty quick, and the garish white stuff in the name of material design seems to me like an easy out for not having any taste, or change for the sake of change - but maybe that's just me.

You can get your dark back for your launcher with a 3rd party launcher, I use Nova Prime. Been using it for about 4 years now. The thing I love about it is that all of my devices look the same no matter what OS there on and I can customize it to my liking. I get a consistent experience from device to device no matter what brand it is or what version of Android is on.

Yes I've thought about that, and I may still do that, however, it seems a little strange to have another layer of crud taking CPU cycles, when battery duration is my number one complaint about smartphones that aren't phablets.

I have never noticed any additional battery drain from Nova. It is buttery smooth even on my old Droid4.

A replacement launcher doesn't add any layers on top. It's not like you are running without a launcher before installing Nova or have two running after. A lot of people, myself included, see Nova running faster than the stock launcher it replaces.

Do you still have all the Moto assist functions with the launcher, and does it still have the capability to listen even when phone is locked with Nova?

Yes... The Moto stuff still works the same.

but don't like how they took out the data toggle api

By this do you mean: swipe down notification bar with two fingers, select 'Verizon Wireless' tile, hit the switch in the top right, hit done?

In kit kat, my textra app had the ability to turn on cellular data whenever it detected I was sending/receiving an MMS and automatically turn it on to send/receive the message, and then return cellular data off (if it was off originally). That API is gone in Lollipop.
