lock screen notifications not working

Yeah, this is really a let down. If im doing it correctly, I get something when an SMS comes in, just like I did before ios 5. I also get something when an email comes in. Pretty nice. But thats it!

I've elected to have weather on the lock screen, but nothing! I have to unlock and then pull down to get the weather. Hardly worth it.

Am I missing something here?

I tried adding a calander event and locked the phone; but it does not show.

I then tryied adding an alert for the event for the day and locked the phone and it did not show.

I then set the time for the alert, future to my current point in time, and locked the phone. that time it did work for that event, at the prescribed time. But you are correct in saying that you cannot see your calander events for the day in the locked screen, unless the alert on the particular event(s) is set properly and in the future of the iPhone being locked. And you are also correct in saying that once the iPhone is unlocked and then locked again, all previous notification will not show.

You can't put the weather on your lock screen, only in notification centre.

For those complaining about wanting to see what notifications are left to deal with - thats what the notification centre is for. SImply swipe down and everything is there. It's quite simple.

The lockscreen simply isn't a great place to keep massive lists of notifications, that what the notification centre is for.

Yup, a bit dissapointing for sure.

But look at the bright side....

1. What we have now is pretty cool

2. I'm fairly confident that Apple will get enough dissapointed users about this features short commings that an update will be in the works to address all this.

It is a great place to see them on an Android.

We want the same thing.

You need to be able to swipe down on the lock screen to get to the notification centre

Def not working consistently

The only notifs I get is a calendar I subscribe to telling me which are the best days to go fishing.

Four square and Twitter work in parts but its very odd and dissapointing.

Apple have a core issue here!

No, we need to be able to set things as ALWAYS visible on the lock screen, as any sane programmer would provide for.

I'm having a problem where only these apps are giving me notifications: Mail, Messages and reminders.

No other app seems to giving me notifications anywhere, at all. I've turned them off and on again in settings, I've made sure all the setting are correct but nothing. When I get an @ reply on twitter nothing happens. I don't know that I've even received them!

Do some 3rd party apps not work with notification centre?

This is just a joke!

I thought iOS5 might finally deliver on this basic and fundamental personal productivity functionality.

Instead it seems iOS continues to be designed by a bunch of Homer Simpsons whose target audience is the lowest common denominator.

I will be moving to Android (or possibly WP7.5) too.

yeah, its a huge let down. They're STILL not on par with Android. Wake up Apple! Steve is rolling over right now

I liked your comment and please dont get offended.

After I read your comments, I am sorry to tell I remembered a famous saying from a famous person.

"You're holding it wrong". 🙂.

Whatever notifications we want to set on lock screen, we should be able to set no matter what. thats what I expect. Its not too much. Thats the little I can expect when my Android counterparts are light years ahead in these little personal productivity.

BTW, I have iPhone 3GS and my lock screen notifications are not working. My notification center only shows weather, stocks nothing else... Too much dissapointed.

It is JUST NOT working.

Oh, I think it is a good place. And at least I do NOT think, apple should decide, if the lockscreen is a good place or not. I guess Mutley D brings it to the point. If apple does not react for years - perhaps its time to check alternatives. Given the hardware it's a pitty, given the usability and functionality of OS it seems to be the only way.

... maybe apple reacts...2015

we need the widgets and notifications to be always visible in the lockscreen

i totally support u Fred

I am having the same problems with my Iphone 4 16GB. The notification center is only working for weather, stox, phone, mail and sms. Third party apps like twitter are not showing at all..
