Why is the control center difficult to access?

When I try to flip up on the home screen to access the Control Center it takes multiple attempts.
Accessing the Notification Center by flicking from the top screen down is no issue. Yes I do have a protective cover on my phone but still seems like the ability to access would be consistent from the top or bottom of the controls. Is there a fix?

I have a similar situation with my 4S and an Otterbox Defender
case.  It is taking some time to get the right "touch" but am
getting better at it.  Hopefully (I have sent feedback on ths issue),
they will widen the target area just a tad to make Control Center
access a little easier with a case.

  • Control center difficult to access

    I am having a great deal of trouble accessing the new control center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen on any screen including lock screen. I have verified that in settings - control center, I have access on lock screen & access within apps enabled. I am concerned it is my Griffin Survivor case. I would hate to abandon the case, because it has been a life saver.

    I hate to say it, but the case is what's causing most of your trouble.  On my Snugg case, if  I pry down the bottom edge of it so I can access the black portion of the screen that is hidden behind it, swiping up if you start in the black area works every time.  Hard cases won't let you do this.  It still ***** though, because the lip on the case is starting to droop away from the screen.
    Appears that someone fell asleep at the design wheel and forgot to leave the "up arrow" in a place that is visible as well accessible.  Pretty hard to believe that something so basic yet so important slipped thru the cracks.
    Let's see how quickly they fix it.

  • Add location services in the control center

    To save power I go into Settings and turn on/off the all the Location Services.  Is there any plans to add location services in the control center for quicker access?  Or is there something already in place?

    There is nothing in place. How is turning off location services saving you power? It doesn't use any unless you are using it. However, if you feel strong about it, you can make a suggestion to Apple feedback HERE and click on the appropriate link.

  • HT4623 Why can't I access the Control Center in iOS 7?

    Swiping up does not bring up the Control Center. Also, the phone is locked in the vertical position. How can I get back the functionality of having it change orientations?
    c

    Do you have a case on your phone? You have to swipe up from the very bottom edge of screen, and some cases are a tad too large to enable you to do that. Try taking off the case to see if you can swipe up.
    Once you get there, you may see that the Orientation lock is highlighted, which means it is locked. Tap it to allow you to swith between portrait and landscape.

  • HT5957 Why dont you add CELLULAR button in the control center? Isn't it easy to acces?

    I think it is a good idea to add cellular option also in the control center, which would make it easy to switch on or off the internet fast..!!!

    Am I missing something here?
    WIth the compose window open, choose Edit>Customize Tool Bar and drag the Address button to your tool bar.
    You can also just start typing a reciepeints name in the To field and Mail will suggest addresses.

  • Why doesn't my music work in the control center for iPhone 5 iOS 7?

    Yesterday I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 and it was working fine with no problems, but today when i tried to play music using the control center, it wouldn't play anything at all. I tried looking it up and I couldn't find anything about it. Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a fix for this?

    Okay, so I set the radio mode to 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) and tried to see if my ATV recognized this. At first it did not... At first it picked up the network, then told me my password was wrong (which I knew was not). Then I tried again, same password, and it told me to make sure my connection was set up...it was... then said there was an error. I got fed up, got out of wireless set up, and it says that I'm connected to my network with full bars. Okay, I was a little weirded out, but okay, then I go to youtube... "Content not available." Same thing with trailers and whatnot... restart the box... now everything seems to be gravy.. except for the fact that I am getting a very weak signal. A very substantial difference from when I set my airport to 802.11n (802.11a compatible), which makes my ATV sing, but does not work with the iphone... Did I lose you? Perhaps I got a p.o.s. ATV. Thanks.

  • When I swipe up to get the control center on my iPad I can't find the airdrop option

    When I swipe up to get the control center on my iPad I can't find the airdrop option - I see airplay, but no airdrop

    Pay attention to the models of the ipads. For example, my ipad 2 can't and won't ever have airdrop. So if you have an older one that could be why you can't see it.

  • Anyone having trouble with operating music controls through the control center?

    Sometimes I pause my music to do something else. When I swipe up later to access the control center, I hit the play button, but it won't play. I could hit the button on my headphones to play but still no result. I have to actually open the music app and press play. Is anyone else having this problem?

  • No more data to read from socket when I try to open the control center

    Hi everybody,
    I'm using on production environment the following OWB:
    Client: 10.2.0.3.33
    Repository: 10.2.0.3.0
    The control center worked very fine since a week ago, and now suddently when I try to login from the Design Center I get the error "No more data to read from socket"
    I saw on the forum many thread relating the problem "No more data to read from socket", and my case is very close to the thread
    Warehouse Builder error no more data to read from socket.
    even if I'm using a different version of OWB...
    Now, I found on metalink the Doc ID: 549303.1 "*Opening of The Control Center Manager Fails with: No More Data To Read From Socket*" , where there are 2 solutions:
    1)This bug has been fixed in the Oracle 10.2.0.4 patchset and Oracle 11g database.
    2) To workaround the issue change the value of the parameter "optimizer_mode" from ALL_ROWS into FIRST_ROWS.
    In the thread above they found the solution setting the optimizer_mode=first_rows
    ....but I have two questions:
    1) I have another envinronment (development) completely equal to the production env. (same OWB versions), where the Control Center works perfectly and the optimizer_mode=ALL_ROWS
    Why in the development env., even if the optimizer_mode=ALL_ROWS, the control center works perfectly ???
    2) How it's possible that suddently the control center crashed with this error ? I didn't change nothing (at the Db level and at the OWB level)
    My last chance is to apply the Oracle 10.2.0.4 patchset, but I can't change the db version (actually I have 10.2.0.3.0)
    I will appreciate any suggestion
    Thanks in advance
    Alex

    This problem still exists in OWB 11g R2. I hit this same issue yesterday. Not sure why its claimed to be resolved

  • I can't use the control center from my lock screen.

    I just updated my iPhone 5c to the ios 8.0.2, but previous to that update I was able to use the control center from my lockscreen. But now, I can't. I already tried to disable restrictions and it didn't work. Please help.

    Check the settings for this And make sure that the availability of the Control Center from the Lock Screen is turned on.
    Settings > Control Center > Access on Lock Screen
    If it is turned on there try a reset of your iPhone. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • CAN WE START AND STOP THE CONTROL CENTER SERVICES USING OMB?

    Hi All,
    I'm new into the world of OMB and currently i have been working with OMB scripts and i just need to know whether i am able to start the control center services using OMB...?
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Shenoy

    Thanks ALL, I GOT IT, but I used other solution.
    Since I installed and uninstalled the Oracle several times, it keeps also many different Services for the listener. I don't know why, it didn't create a Service for my actual instalation with its path. In other words, all the services remained in the services.msc panel, had the path that was already removed from the Windows folder.
    Then what I did, was that I picked one service, took its name (OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener), went to regedit to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener] and simply changed the image path that was setted for the one that was removed (C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_2\BIN\TNSLSNR ) for mine that is installed right now
    (C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1\BIN\TNSLSNR). Nothing more and finally works.
    I have tried something in the services.msc panel before, as you can see in this forum at the thread "I can't start listener in the Control Painel/Admin Tools/ Services", but I never got
    success.
    Appreciate your time!!

  • I'm experiencing extremely slow response when attempting to open the control center from the lock screen, any suggestions?

    When trying to access the control center from the lock screen, it takes anywhere from 2 to MANY swipes to get a response.  Never opens on the first try.

    I'm not having the same problem, but there is a feature in the OS that attempts to discern from swipes to unlock and swipes to open control center. This is what you may be experiencing.

  • Loading flat files located on a server using the Control Center piece ofOWB

    Hi
    This is what i do for my flat files (i am loading my tables from the flat files):
    1) Create location for the files in OWB and it should look something like \\path_to_where_the_files_are. Here you should be able to browse to your Linux box and select the location of the files.
    2) Then check whatever you use (i use TOAD) and you should see in owb schema a directory created there which points to the location of the flat file.
    3) then just follow the guide to sample the files etc and you are good to go.
    Basically OWB has to be able to see the files that are on Linux machine.
    Alternatively you can map your Linux share to your windows box (use samba or something) and use it that way.
    Sorry if it is stating the obvious.
    Hope this helps
    Kind Regards
