[AC Question]

Lollipop:

1. On lock screen with a media app playing it is now necessary to unlock to reach controls. There is no lock screen widget- HTC Media Player, Pandora, Tunein etc

2. Audio notification from communication apps occurs but icons on the notification bar at top left are not visible on lock screen, must first unlock, method provided under Settings>Sound and Notification is Neanderthal.

Welcome to Android Central! Do you have an HTC One M8? Go to Settings>Sound & Notifications, and make sure lockscreen notifications are set to show all. I'm not exactly sure of how the M8's menu is organized regarding this option, but that's where it is on my Nexus 5.

Same happened to my phone- Galaxy S5. With "show all content while locked" I get a banner telling me what media is running but must unlock my phone to pause, etc. Yes, I could just leave my phone unlocked but would prefer not to.

Also, is there a way to get rid of the blindingly bright-white notification backgrounds?! Usually I'm very good about doing my homework before updating but did not this time. Lesson learned.
