Help Multiple issues with Lollipop re: Notifications

T-Mobile Galaxy S5

I just installed Lollipop and it's causing me massive amounts of frustration.

1) I keep my phone on mute at work. It is sitting on my desk and I depended on the notifications that would pop up on the lock screen and the LED lights to come on. Both those things are gone. Before when I got a text and my phone was on mute, a notification would wake it up and I would see my lock screen and the blue LED light would flash. I also had a blue indicator for Facebook Messenger and that does not work either.

2) I keep getting an import certificate notification for the email app (which I have never used) and would like it to stop. It pops up every so often and is annoying. It seems to not happen if I have security set on my phone. I don't have security set on my phone and don't want to be forced to just to make some error go away for an app I am not even using!

(edit) I set security and imported the certificates and now it won't let me turn security off. Says that it has been disabled by admin, encryption policy or credential storage. How can I fix this? I don't want security. I find it to be a giant pain in the ass.

I feel like I have been everywhere and turned on notifications in every possible place...under app manager, in the messaging app itself, under every place possible where there is a notification settings and nothing has worked. I've toggled things on and off. I've rebooted a dozen times. I have tried so many things I don't even know where to begin to list them. Lots of changing settings, lots of toggling, and I even wiped the cache partition.
Also, I installed Textra because people said that worked for them and it did not work for me.

If it is on vibrate, I get the wake screen but I don't want to use vibrate because I hate the noise and don't want to disturb my coworkers.

I have made my settings match the settings of a coworkers' whose works and still nothing. This has been the most frustrating update ever on any platform I have used in the past 20 years. (windows, mac, various phones etc).

I certainly feel for you, which is why I am still with 4.4.4

A month or so ago, there was a very good post on how to mostly fix what you just described.

The settings are NOT where they "logically should be", ie, they are not in Notifications, they are buried in the "Privacy" area..... as I have never seen Lollipop, that is all I can help you with.

well almost, I know how to use Google Advanced Search...........

look at these threads.
