Lost the notifications icons on the lock page after latest update.

I lost the notification icons on the top left hand corner of the lock screen page. Now it says verizon wireless. Do not like the big bar notifications on the phone. How do I get the icons back?

Is this on an S5?  If so, I believe that is the way it is and not alterable.

Galaxy note edge. Verizon had to make the change since they replaced the icons with their name.

I want to ensure your continued happiness with the device! I did review the device and do not notice an alternative after the update.

It's Lollipop - there are tons of "complaints" from folks on other carriers too - they don't like seeing the carrier's name instead of notification icons, at least until you unlock the phone.  Then the notifications appear.

Must be a Samsung thing.  LG didn't do that.  Verizon Wireless stays under the clock and above the Owner Info.

I have a Motorola Droid Turbo - so it's not just a Samsung thing.... Lollipop changed the way the notifications are displayed on the lock screen, it's either nothing, or big white rectangles that take up most of the screen (full width, and about a 1/2" high).  To see the smaller icons on the top left of the screen, you have to unlock the phone.

At least with the Turbo I can still wave my hand over the screen and see smaller icons, and tap those to see the notifications, as well as turning the phone on to the lock screen.

Well, guess I lucked out then.  I had only heard about this issue from Samsung users until now.  I've been fairly satisfied with my 5.0.2 thus far and looking forward to 5.1.1.  But, yes, I get the half inch rectangles on my lock screen as well, but I have no issues Identifying what types of notifications they are.  Plus, I can long-press to get more info.  Just my experience so far from LG.
