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?

I might throw it away. I've been a fanatic Android user from the start, but now I've been screwed twice. First KitKat wouldn't let me put stuff on the SD card, and now Lollipop won't show any notifications just because my company uses Exchange. What became of the Ubuntu phone. Maybe they leave some freedom to the user.

Thanks @ jefry! I can confirm that this worked for me as well. I am also on 726. I Deleted the account by removing Email from the Device administrators and added the account back from start, don't know if that change anything but sure worked!

Here's how to overcome the lock screen notification issue:

-Download Nils lock screen from Google Play

-Give access to Nils and set it up as the app requests

-I personally uncheck "sync back notifications" & configure some features, but I noticed with Lolipop that the more I play with Nils the less it will tend to work

-Under "App specific settings" uncheck these apps that give you too many lock screen notifications, or configure so that the same irrelevant notification does not pop up all the time

That should do the trick till Sony resolves it...

Glad it also works for you guys. Seems like the issue has been resolved on build 726.

@jefry or that 726 is actually buggy, and that allows the notifications to work (seeing that Sony says that this is intended).

@jefry, this did not work for me at all! 😞 please Sony, just fix it or give us a working solution!

@Josephine, which build number are you using?

[Josephine]

I dont known @asplundj where can I see it?

[asplundj]

settings-> about phone, look at the version number at the bottom. Mine ends with 690 and it doesn't work. However, it seems to work with 726

@asplund, mine is 690 as well...
