I am on ATT with 5.0, phone not rooted. I just noticed this today. Used to be, when the phone was "resting," if I would get an audible email (or other) notification, I would hit the home button to turn on the lock screen and there would be icons at the top left of the status bar showing me what notifications were there. I would then swipe down from the top and they would show (in a white box) over the wallpaper. Now what happens is, when I get the notification, I turn on the screen and the white box is already on the screen, with no icon in the status bar. If I hit "clear," the notice goes away, but the white box saying my WiFi is on stays there. If I swipe on it, it goes away, but the phone "wakes up" (unlocks). It always showed a text message instantly, which is fine, but not emails and other notifications (like updates...etc). What happened?

It appears as if the notification bar on my phone simply doesnt work. Could this be because its not activated yet? I dont see how that would make sense, but its the only thing I can think of. I took it out of the box to play around with it and bypassed the activation screen, but the notifcation bar doesnt work at all.
Ive tried both pulling it down on the screen, and hitting menu then notifications - nothing happens either way. I downloaded a program (GPS test) from the market, and the notification that its done is just sitting there with no way to get rid of it...

I noticed this issue after froyo and numerous fresh restarts.
The bottom dock bar of the x(philblur/motoblur) is not working properly. Usually when you switch screens the home button, phone button, and contacts button, slide down and another bar replaces it(the one with the dots representing which number screen you are on). Now what it does is that that the innitial bar never goes away and the screen bar just goes over the first bar and you can see the 1st bar in the backround. This especially looks odd when you go to delete an icon or widget because the trash can just sits on top of the little triangle icon which brings up your apps. Anyone else have this issue and know what the cause or fix is?
Got rid of the issue easily finally by Blocking my Notifications access
Hi,
This has worked for me since yesterday, earlier my phone use to get locked every ten seconds or so and I was not at all able to use it.
I was having a gut feeling that the issue of locking and changing wallpaper is face most of the times when some Message is about to arrive or some notification from some application is poping up on screen.
For this yesterday what i did is as follows:
Settings > Notifications > Pop-up notifications are disabled
When device is locked
Don't show notifications at all
App notifications
Messaging
blocked
Notification access
Theme chooser - It can be allowed as ticked only,no other app
Filter notifications
To do this , when a notification pops up,
say mostly it is for low battery which will lock the screen almost after few seconds.
Press and hold the notification popup message and click on the icon to filter it then it will show under Filter notifications tab.
Select above things in Settings menu and Im sure the problem might get solved for you also.
Only drawback being you cannot see the notification on Locked screen but the blinking green and white light tells about new notifications.
All d best. shared this because since yesterday my phone did not got locked even a single time.I was also visiting this page for solution, happy to provide one for everyone if it works.
Main thing is to block the popup notifications , as soon as these are disabled. Screen wil not get locked.changes might reflect after a phone restart.
Have a good day.

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.
