Where'd the little message notification on my lock screen go

I don't want some stupid card that takes up a bunch of screen space. I used to get a little message icon in the upper left corner of my lock screen that let me know I had a message. Now it tells me "Sprint." Well, yes, I know my carrier is Sprint. I want to know, without having to unlock my phone, if I have a message. I DON'T want some big card across my screen. I want the little, unobtrusive icon that used to be there before the latest update. Bring it back.

Re: Where'd the little message notification on my lock screen go

If it's what I'm thinking of, it's the way Google changed the layout in Lollipop. I have the same thing going on my phone (an M8 ) ever since it was updated, and I use that term loosely. Short of rooting and making some additional changes, I'm afraid you're likely stuck with it.
