Lollipop not showing notifications on lock screen

[Gunslinger1]

After upgrading to Lollipop, notifications does not show on the lock screen at all. I use pin-code as security, notifications is set to "Show all notification content". Something I'm missing here?

This is plain stupid... A notification is a notification. It's not something that should be hidden. This has to be a bug or someone not thinking the clearly when implementation this and I really hope it gets fixed soon. It's really annoying!

Indeed a very anoying bug which needs to be fixed !  Frogmasters workaround (MailWise) however fixes the problem for the time being. My company enforces Security and only PIN-code is allowed. This in combination with ActiveSync causes the problem.

So far MailWise works pretty good, so maybe the workaround will become my permanent solution :-).

I tried Mailwise too. It did not work for me wrt to the notifications; still no icons on locked screen.

[MikMak]

it worked fine for me! Did You however remove the account from the mail client and change the security settings for lock screen before installing MailWise?

robert24,

Go to settings/security/Device administrators, and disable the E-mail client as a device administrator.

I have the same problem, but I can't  disable the e-mail device administrator, since then I loose my work e-mail. I don't even see missed calls on the locked screen...

Just wanted to say thanks to the folks who recommended Mailwise. I set it up with my mail accounts (include corporate ones that are controlled by Active Sync) and deleted my  corporate account in native email. Notifications now work perfectly. Using a Z2 and beginning to enjoy it again.

Hi,

Same issue here on my Z2. I would really not like to use a third party mail-app, and Outlook for Android is banned at our company.

I am eagerly awaiting a solution.

At the beginning of this thread Sony was commenting, but since it became obvious that it is a bug no more comments from Sony has appeared.

Sony, are you still reading this?

I also use my Z3 as a work phone, and this bug is very annoying! - Its like I cannot rely on my phone anymore.

Please at least acknowledge the problem, so we can hope for a fix!

I use the Next Screen App as a workaround until Sony gets this bug fixed.
