iOS 5 Notifications in the Lock Screen Problem

Now that I've updated, I can't seem to get anything I receive while the phone is locked (SMS, e-mail, FB posts) to show up as anything other than the old bubble alert. The Notification Center shows up fine when the phone is unlocked, but not when it's locked. I've gone through all the Notification settings I can find. Is anyone else having this issue?

iPhone 3GS, Other OS

You might think I'm nuts whrn you read this. But after trying to figure out getting email notifications on the lock screen. I turned the Notification Center radio button off but turned the badge, show preview and view in lockscreen radio buttons on and they show up on my lock screen. ??????????? Why on earth would that be the case?

What? I tried with no succes ..

Just got no Mail on Notif.Center, no Mail on the lock screen ..


No big deal, just that Apple really missed this jailbreak problem, instead of helping me and so many others keeping their iPhone apart from Jailbreak, they choose not to. So, I will jailbreak, even that after that I have to restart the iphone once every few days, I still end up better: favorites on the lock screen plus weather, email, calendar and so on there 🙂


Good one APPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh, because you turned on the "View in Lockscreen" switch?

But that doesnt explain why nothing shoiws in lock screen. No weather widget, no unread email or nothing relevant from notifications.


I have selected "show in lock screen" and made sure

"notification on"


Because that's not how the lock screen works. The lock screen is NOT Notification Center. If you have unread mail, it shows up in Notification Center until you read it. What shows up in the lock screen is mail that has arrived *since the phone locked". If you haven't received anything since the phone locked, then nothing is displayed.


And there is no weather widget for the lock screen. Only for Notification Center.
