no that was not it - I eventually found out by a thorough review of the user guide Settings - Sound & notification, When device is locked Don't show notifications at all. However, I came across a new problem: When the setting above is activated the icon(s) from incoming notifications is hidden by the mobile service provider icon in the status bar when screen lock is on. When the screen is unlocked the icon from the incoming notification is showing. It is not possible to manage the mobile service provider icon like fx. alarm, wi-fi, clock etc.. I have tried 'To manage status bar icons' from the user guide Do you know if it is at all possible to remove the mobile service provider icon from the lock screen ?
