Bug Description

On the Aquaris E4.5 (ubuntu 14.10 r21, Utopic Unicorn dev, armhf 20150410-232623), I've noticed the following:

even though the phone is supposed to be locked, one can:
- read incoming messages from the notification (top swipe) area,
- change on/off state of bluetooth, gps, wifi, brightness

Expected: when not logged in, one should not be able to see more than:
- number of notifications (possibly type), but not content
- the time, battery life, gps, mobile, bluetooth and wifi *state*, but not be able to switch them on/off

Cheers,
Walter

You can disable the indicators altogether when the phone is locked, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Lock Phone.

We have a separate plan to limit the amount of exposure, see bug #1358340.

I'm marking this bug as duplicate.

Oops. Hadn't found those. Sorry.

Disabling both the "Launcher" and "Notifications and quick settings" suits my needs.

Thanks!
