Can't access control center on iPhone while keyboard is displayed

Anybody have a tip on how to access control center on iPhone while the keyboard is displayed?  Seems impossible cause when I swipe up from the bottom to access control center, it types instead. 

UPDATE
Saw other threads about Otterbox blocking the area to access the Control center. Sure enough removing it from the case and I can access the CC. But, I also found if you swipe up lightly and quickly the CC can be access with the case on. It takes some practice. But can be done.

  • Can not access control center on iPhone 5

    I can not access the control center by swiping up. It doesn't matter which screen I'm on. It is turned on in the settings to be accessed in apps and the lock screen.

    Do you have a case on the phone? If so, what case? If you do, then try removing the case and see if it works.
    If not, then try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone should reboot. After that, try again.

  • Can't access Control Center from Locked Screen since I updated to IOS 8

    Since I updated my iPhone 5 to IOS 8 (and 8.2) when I try to open Control Center from my locked screen, the display goes black but what i tried to open (calculator, camera or timer) is running in the back and the phone does not freeze, but if I want to access either of those, I have tu punch in my password and then open the app.
    This thing does not happen on my wife's iPhone 5 or my iPad Air.

    Did you check Settings>Control Center>Access on Lock Screen and make sure it's set to ON?

  • Can not access control center-more than one way to turn off and on portait rotate?

    The very bottom of my screen does not register touch for some unknown reason ( I have a 4s and iOS 7.1)—however I've been dealing with that by rotating my phone to pull up the keyboard to type for text messages, etc. I accidently locked my ability to rotate my phone and now I can't pull up the control center to turn it off. Is there another way to access this function?

    Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately, in the AssistiveTouch there is still no way to turn off the locked position of my screen, so when I click the different rotate options provided, the screen does not change orientation... any thoughts?

  • I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contact via outlook to change on phone

    I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contacts via outlook to change on phone. Worked fine on old itunes.

    Hi Steve, Thanks for that. When I conect the phone it comes up with iphoto and starts to sync and then when that is finnished the itunes window shows my phone syncing at the top of the screen. The only button that says iphone which is on top right only asks if I want to eject and then disapears when sync finnishes. I can not see any other way of showing a side bar view and i can not access any way of controling the sycn service. It seems to be syncing calander but not my contacts. Have I missed something?

  • Failure to access control center in lock screen

    I am having trouble accessing controls center from my lock screen. It takes me four may be five times to do so. It seams that I really need to try to do such a simply task when I do it on the home screen. Just wondering if I can fix this or if I have to wait for a update from Apple. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Do you have a case on your phone? Many people are reporting that some cases interfer. Otterbox Defenders seem to be named a lot.
    Best of luck.

  • Can i customize control center in iOS 7?

    As you know, iOS 7 came with a new feature called CONTROL CENTER that you can access WiFi, Bluetooth, and some features with just a swipe up of ur iOS device.
    Here in the Philippines, some users use their data connection rather than WiFI....so if they want access the internet through their data connection, ofcourse they go to the settings to open it.....  And as I observed. I didnt see any "Data Connection" button on iOS or even you cant customize it....
    SO is their any customizing tips here or not????
    if not, can i suggest to have an update that you can CUSTOMIZED the control center for the sake of ease of using their iOS device........
    I hope Apple will put these in their next update..
    i hope you can read this Post...
    Thank you and GOD BLESS!!!

    Yep.  Here's something more frustrating.  From the lock screen, I can see the handle at the screen bottom.  But at the home screen, it either doesn't exist or is hidden by the app dock at the bottom of the screen.  So it's pretty frustrating to have to turn the iPad off and turn it back on just to get to the control center from the lock screen.
    I'm not even gonna bring up the fact that even at the lock screen, I have to swipe multiple times in order for it to work.

  • Can't access MobileMe account on iPhone

    Hi there,
    I can't find an answer to this question anywhere here or through a Google search. Does anyone know how to access one's MobileMe account on the iPhone? I've tried everything and all I get is a dialogue box telling me to set up a MobileMe account. I already have one. I can access it via Safari on my new MBP but not on the phone. I've nuked and paved the iPhone, re-installed the software, updated to the latest version and still can't access MobileMe. The iPhone's Mail app works fine, as does Safari, but MobileMe continues to be a Byzantine mystery and Apple's documentation is feeble and hopelessly inadequate. I wouldn't care so much if I wasn't paying big bucks for this service.
    I will soon be at sea with no Internet access for the next month, so maybe somebody will have figured something out by then.
    many thanks,
    Michael

    Thanks to those who responded to my questions so promptly. Admittedly, some confusion surrounds the syncing issues. For some reason, I thought I could access my Keychain on my iPhone since it is synced with MobileMe in my MobileMe preferences pane on my MBP. Clearly this isn't the case. I have a lot of information stored in Keychain Access in secure notes and I needed to look at one of them via the iPhone while I was on the road. My bookmarks sync. This is where I was led astray. I clicked on my MobileMe bookmark from Safari on the iPhone and that leads me to a page "Looking for me.com?"
    thanks again,
    Michael

  • After install Crystal Report Server 2011, can not access control tools

    Afte install Crystal Report Server 2011, can not access control tools from web or from application.
    My server OS is Windows 2008 R2 SP1. I follow the default setting. How to fix it?
    Error message is above.

    Is Tomcat started?  On your Start menu you should have an option to get to "Tomcat  Configuration" or, under the CRS menu you can run the "Central Configuration Manager" to start Tomcat.
    What URL are you using to connect to the web app?  By default Tomcat runs on port 8080 so your URL should look something like this:  "http://<servername>:8080/BOE/CMC" or "http://<servername>:8080/BOE/BI".
    If Tomcat is running and you're trying to access it from another computer, check to see if the Windows Firewall is turned on for the server - if it is, turn it off for "Domain" access.
    If Tomcat won't start, go to the folder where Tomcat is installed and then look in the "logs" folder.  There should be a file called "stderr.log" which you can open in Notepad to see what types of errors might be occurring (you can ignore any errors having to do with "persisted sessions".)  If there are other errors, post in the BI Platform space to get assistance.
