Apparently, with the screen off, you can slide your finger down from the top to about halfway and you will see the time and the status bar. I cannot get this to work. Does it work for you guys? Is there a setting to enable the feature? Thanks.
It took me 2 days to figure it out...and I did it by accident. I thought something was wrong with my phone.
You have to press and hold in the upper 50% of your screen; your LED should turn blue. Then slowly drag your finger down and it should reveal battery life, date, time, etc. When you let go, the notification will go away.
That's a weird one for AT&T to get rid of since it's intent is to save you battery by checking notifications this way rather than waking up the entire screen.
Personally, I think it's kind of a useless feature. It's more useful, in my opinion, to just tap the screen to see the time as well as your notifications.
