I noticed that the notification icons in the upper left hand corner of the lockscreen don't show up anymore after updating to Lollipop. On my phone it just says "Sprint" and I asked a co-worker who has a Note 4, and hers says "Verizon Wireless." We know what carriers we have. I would much rather have the notification icons. I looked through the lockscreen settings, but didn't see anything there. Currently I have to unlock my phone, then I can see my notifications. I did verify that I did have a notification which didn't show up on the lockscreen. Maybe it is just not something that we can change with the Lollipop update, apart from rooting it of course.

Is there a way to make the notification show up in the status bar only? I just want am icon not a message showing what app it is. Yes I like my privacy. I loved being able to turn on phone screen and see the icon. Now all I see is Verizon wireless.... I'm glad you can hide the content in the new notification but I want to hide the app name too.
Anyone?
Root and upgraded to lollipop.. Still have root.

The lock screen notifications are part of Lollipop, which isn't changeable. You can hide sensitive content from the sound and notification settings, but that's as secure as it can go without showing any on the lock screen.
The notification icons in the upper left hand of the screen used to appear on the lock screen to show me if I had emails or texts. Now they don't show up since I downloaded the lollipop update. Anyone know how to get them back?
Thanks.

As I noticed that is little different than it was before. Check if you did not disable it in the settings. See the screenshot.
That seems to show the pop ups on the lock screen but not just the little icons. Maybe I'm missing something else...
For years I have hidden the notification drawer on the top of the screen, most of the info there is duplicated in my widgets, and I just don't like the clutter. However with the V20, hiding the notification drawer also turns off my second screen...which then gets rid of one of the marquee features of this phone.
I've tried on multiple launchers (Nova and Next), and the same result. I've tried permanently hiding it, and using gestures to toggle on and off.
Does anybody have any suggestions? Any rooted users know if this is a problem after root? This one little problem annoys me to no end.
Thanks a lot.
I'm on a non-rooted Verizon V20.
There is a setting that might help that allows it to be active when the display is in fullscreen mode. It's meant for videos so it might not have full functionality.
I'm rooted and I get the same thing. I use Nova and the "toggle notification bar" shuts the second screen off along with the notification bar. I don't know why they're tied together like that, it's annoying...
The second screen's "show time while content is shown" option will leave it on with the notification bar toggled off, but it doesn't do anything, it just shows time and notifications up there. You can't scroll it to get to anything.
I have a few persistent notifications in the drop down Tasker, Last Pass, Pebble. Before the update there was no notification showing up at the top. Now it always says "3" with a big arrow. It will drive me utterly insane if it stays like that. Any way to make it not do that? Before how it would only do that if there were too many icons to show individually on the bar. Does it never do that now? It always shows a number instead of showing you which app it was for which was actually useful.
Settings, display, untoggle "only show quantity in status bar "
Fabulous, thanks.
Hello,
I have POCO M3, MIUI Global 12.0.4, android 10 QKQ1. I really like the phone but there is one thing that drives me mad and that is the fact that the status bar with all notification icons is not visible on the lock screen. In the place where the icons should be, there is just the information about the network provider.
I have tried to look for the way to keep the status bar on the lock screen but to no avail. CustoMIUIzer has the option to keep the floating notification on the lock screen, which is great, but I need to see the icons as well. Does anyone know any way how to do it? Any app, EdXposed module or anything? Maybe I missed something?
Thank you in advance.

You can try to go to settings, display, control center and notification shade, turn off the option "show carrier when device is locked", to see if this works.
Edit: I just tried it myself, and with that option disabled, the icons are still not shown on the lock screen.

That's true, unfortunately it does not work... And the worst thing is that just after pressing the power button when the screen is locked, you can see the icons on the bar for just a fraction of a second before they disappear. I would love for them to stay there.
