Viewing notifications in status bar while phone is locked.

[biptu]

After this recent update i can no longer see notifications in status bar while phone is locked. I have to unlock the phone in order to see what notifications are there. What i dont want, (i had to spend an hour fixing) is all the notifications smashed on my lock screen. Also when i use to get a text, my phone would light up and briefly scroll the message along the status bar as well.

Which phone?

Google's Android OS comes in a multitude of variants, customized both by manufacturers and by carriers. Lock screens are a prime example of variation between devices, even when on the "same" OS version.
