Why do I have to unlock the phone to see my notifications since the Lollipop 5.0.2 update?

Lollipop 5.0.2

I don't like that I have to fully unlock the phone to see notifications now ~ not just wake it up. Can you fix this?

Welcome to Android Central! In Settings>Sound & Notification>When Device Is Locked, is "Show All Notification Content" selected?

I have the same problem and my settings are correct... Still does not show notifications when the screen is locked. Very annoying. Is this some kind of bug? Or are there other ways to fix this?

I'm now having the same issue, notifications show on the lock screen, but have to unlock to open them. Also the torch isn't working from the quick settings, but it does work with a 3rd party app.

Also just noticed that the auto rotate toggle in quick settings no longer works, only started having these problems this past week, but I updated to 5.0.2 in March/April.

Is this notifcations' problem still an issue?

I'm worried how long the next update will take, as the lollipop update was about 3 months late

Thought I'd share this with you guys, I just downloaded the 'Clean Master' app from the play store and since running that, everything on my phone works again including the torch and accessing lock screen notifications.

Ah sounds like a cache issue then.

These issues have nothing to do with the device; they are not hardware related, but are caused by the software. Anytime you update the system OS you should do a System Cache Clear (Google it to see how it's done) and a factory reset. First try the cache clear and if the device is running fine stop there. But if not do the reset. Those things get rid of the Gremlins that get left behind with updates that cause these kinds of problems.

This worked for me, finally. It was not my phone after all the fixes I tried. It turned out that I had to turn off IPv6 on my modem. I dont even know what that is, but I tried all the fixes to the phone and finally got the IPv6 idea from another site. Now, even when my screen is locked on Lollipop, all of my notifications come through as they occur. Just do a quick search on how to turn off your IPv6 for your modem, good luck.
