Android 5 lock screen notification bar - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After upgrading to Android 5 I miss the left side notification bar. The right side with the clock, network strength and battery level is still there, but on the left side is only my provider's name showing. Under 4.4.2 there used to be information icons if there were incoming emails or Facebook messenger messages. How can I get that back? I only want the small icons not the new notification messages.

Voice Mail Notifier

As I am new to Android I maybe missing something.
Does the OS notify you have how many voice mails you have. EG: If your blackberry was turned off for a while and some left you 4 messages. You will see the total number of voice mails on your phone.
Does android do that? Or does it need an app for that function.
an icon at the notfication bar will appear if you have new voicemail, but to actually see the number of voicemails, you have to pull down the notification bar.

OK..Well I must be doing something wrong or my phone is not setup right.
I just left two messages for myself..the phone gave off the two alerts and the icon showed up but no number indicating 2 messages...
I take you also have a nexus one?

there will only be one icon for each type of notification you have. to see how many messages you have you must slide down the notification bar (the white bar), it will show you a list of the type of notifications you have and how many you have.
yes I do have a nexus one.

Hi Melterx..I understand the notification bar....it shows the number of applications etc that you have downloaded....but I do not get two voice mail notifications from the two messages I left for my self...
Any ideas on what I may be missing?
I think you're simply missing familiarity with Android. Your phone is fine. Like Melter said... slide down then notification bar and you'll see details on each notification you have.
Can I just say I can heartily recommend HulloMail as an alternative voicemail system. It's free and in the market place. It will sync with you google contacts, sms and/or email you and essentially behave like visual voicemail.

How to force displaying of "Notifications" screen

On the top title bar on the HD2 screen, it shows battery level, signal level, time ,ect.
At times it will also show an "email" icon, or and "SMS" icon to indicate that a new email or sms came in.
But, I only know to carefully tap the title bar on the middle to right side of the titlebar to then pop-up/display the full-screen notification app which more easily displays a verbose/detailed description of any notifications.
Does anyone know if there is a way to display this "Notification" screen via a shortcut instead of having to tediously tap the top title bar on the screen?
settings menu all settings sounds and notifications notifications tab in top select "message new email message" and tick show on screen.

I am sorry, I meant to say how can I call up the "nitification" master screen even if there are currently no notifications to announce.
In other words, it seems the left softkey on home screens for older ROMS use to say "Notifications", which did exactly what I am looking for (to call up that main notification screen). But it seems the new roms change this left softkey to "Action".
So, how can I manually call up the "Notification" screen even if there are no current notifications to display?

Cannot remove notifications

Hi all,
A recent trouble on my phone ...
When I receive a notification (for ex, sms), I see my notification on status bar. When I clic on It, I can see my notification. But it still stay on the notification. If a Want to remove it, I had to swipe the notification to remove it.
I want my notification to leave when I select it on notification bar.
I use LightFlow. But it's the same when I remove Light Flow...
Any Idea ?
This is when new sms arrive: swipe on edge then swipe on lock screen then swipe on notification bar and you can still see the badge on sms app. Go to sms app then badge disappears. Well done Samsung- it is very nice done let say 'UI is polished'. One notification 20 clicks to get rid of it. And you asking why apple selling more phones. Can you imagine professional person with 100+ emails every day? Instead of 100 clicks every day he got fuc.... lost after 2 hours of clicking.

Gmail's Sender's name not showing on top bar?

Hey, so I just upgraded from the S5.
Usually when a new gmail gets in (in an active-unlocked screen), Gmail display's the sender's name on the top notification bar (notification bar ticker) by the clock. However, now when I get a new email, it only shows a Gmail's new mail icon without previewing the sender's/author...
Same thing with text messaging too... It just shows an icon without previewing the message on the top bar...
I tried playing around with the notifications but couldn't get it to work...
Any ideas?

Messages preview not working after Oreo upgrade

I have the S8 Plus and just upgraded to Oreo yesterday. I use the Messages app (white text bubble icon with blue background). I notice that the notification badge (the orange counter) no longer shows up on my shortcut when I have a new message. Also, the preview of the text message that used to appear at the top of my screen no longer works. Is there a setting I need to adjust, or is this just my new reality with Oreo?
Thank for any help!!
Hi
Go into settings and search for "app icon badges" this should help
Trev
I'm also having the problem of no badges showing up on any of my apps since the oreo update. All the notifications are set up to show badges, yet still nothing. I'm still also not getting edge lighting notifications when the screen is turned off.
Have you checked under Settings->apps the notificationsettings of the apps you want to notify?
App badge icon
Same issue here. I have made sure the app badge is turned on in notifications, it still doesn't work.
