Just got 5.0 yesterday and immediately became frustrated with what appears to be a step backwards.

When my phone is sitting idle and the screen is off, I used to see just a blinking LED letting me know that I have a text or an email or voicemail waiting.

After this update, I still got the green LED blinking, but when I "woke" the phone up (pressing the power button to light up the lock screen) there was a list of notifications with brief descriptions of what was in the waiting notification.

I purposely shut that off before since I don't like just anyone waking up my phone and seeing my waiting texts messages.

Easy enough, I thought. I just went to the lock screen notification setting and switched the "when device is locked" setting from "show all notification content" to "Don't show notifications at all".

Problem with this is that kills ALL notifications, including the blinking LED!

I liked being able to wake up the phone, swipe down, and see if it's a text or an email waiting by looking at the top bar. Then I could decide whether or not to unlock the phone and check further.

Seems there should be more options than the "all or nothing" approach here.

First day, I know, but I wanted to get this out there for others to find, if there is a solution.

Thanks!
