Lockscreen Notifications on Lollipop?

[zerrisk]

Hello AC forums,

I'm wondering if the GS5 has lock screen notifications on Lollipop with the fingerprint security option on? I am unable to do so now on KitKat, and am not sure if I am able to on KitKat with or without the fingerprint reader. I'd like to keep my phone locked to keep people from accessing it, but would like to be able to glance / see any emails or texts I receive without having to unlock and pulling down the notification bar every time.

Sorry, I came from an iPhone 4S before this, so I'm used to that.

Thankyou!

I'm not on lollipop yet, but I downloaded an app call NILS that shows notifications on the lockscreen. I use that app with a pin lock. I'm not sure if it works with the fingerprint scanner.

Thank you! I'll check it out with a PIN or a pattern for a little to see if I like it or not.

Still wondering on Lollipop if anyone is running it!

Yes one can get the lockscreen notifications, you just have to go to settings-->sound and notifications-->while locked click on it and then choose show all content, and then you will get lockscreen notific. no matter if you are using fingerprint or pattern

Do you think me having a VZW S5 will make a difference?

No, i think it wont make any difference as long as you get Lollipop 5.0 you just have to wait for the update to come

Folks, I have the same (the T-mobile on the top left side of the screen). But I've found the solution to get rid of it once and for all..

I've installed different locker to my Samsung S5 - and this time it was CM Locker, and I have to admit, that this is the best locker I've ever used. It's very light, though has the basic functionalities (weather, configurable notifications, etc).

Thank you OnFire4Ever, I been looking thru all the settings forever, trying to remember how to do this!

Thank you SO much! I was looking for how to get rid of the irritation and by your answer, it told me to go to that area, because I figured if that's how one turns it on, then there has to be something there to turn it off!! I liked my old KitKat before I stupidly accepted Lollipop 5.0.1 on my Galaxy S4. Thanks again!!
