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.
Any help ?

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

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.

Issues Control Center from lock screen in iOS 8

Since getting my iPhone 5S, and iOS 8, there were a couple of times I couldn’t access my camera from my lock screen. I didn’t think anything of it at first — I just brushed it off as carelessness — but then it happened a few more times this weekend. Not only could I not access the Camera, I couldn’t access Control Center either. I would swipe up on my screen, but nothing would happen. I tried multiple times. Nothing. Eventually, hours later, it would work, but I couldn’t figure out why it was only working intermittently.

There's only a couple things left you can do. One would be to do a restore, the other would be to have the hardware checked at an Apple store or Authorized Apple iPhone Service Provider.

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?

You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help!

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.

Just downloaded iOS 5 update to my iPhone4. One new feature is ability to access photo app from lock screen by tapping "camera" icon. Camera icon does not show up on my lock screen. Help?

Just downloaded iOS 5 update to my iPhone4. One new feature is ability to access photo app directly from lock screen by tapping "camera" icon. Camera icon does not show up on my lock screen. Help?

Press the home button once to wake the phone into lock mode. Then press it twice while in lock screen and you will see camera button to right of slide.

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.

HT5858 i love the new software update, but my music keys don't work in the control center on lock screen.is it a bug? how can i fix it?

i updated to iOS 7 and everything was fine.couple a days later the music keys just stopped working in the control center at all. how can i fix this?

Hello jojohussein92,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I have a couple of recommendations for this issue. First is to force quit all the open apps on the iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have all the apps closed, restart the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists after that, then I would try resetting the iPhone.
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Lastly if the issue persists, then I would backup the phone to iTunes, and then before restoring from your backup, I would test the issue. If it works, then restore your backup, and verify the Control Center is still working.

Deleted English keyboard and now can't log into iPhone from lock screen

I downloaded SwiftKey for my iPhone 5S after updating to iOS8 and found that it didn't pop up as the default keyboard for the phone. I went to keyboards and deleted the standard, iPhone English keyboard which then made SwiftKey the default. In 20-20 hindsight it was a very stupid thing to do, but it really seemed like a good idea at the time, and it did make SwiftKey the default. Of note, I still had the Hebrew keyboard loaded as a secondary keyboard.
The problem is that when the iPhone locked out, the Hebrew keyboard now comes up in the lock screen. I have no way to switch the lock screen keyboard to English characters so that I can input my password. Effectively, I am now unable to log into my iPhone. I tried turning it off and on and also tried a 'hard reset' by pressing both the power button and the home button until the iPhone reboots. Still no access to the English keyboard on the lock screen....
I have the Phone backed up completely on my computer at home--how do I get the English keyboard back so I can log in? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay. I know I'm not the only one who has this problem, because I just answered another query. After playing around with the iPhone a bit and talking to the guy in our IT department I found the answer... I'm posting the answer to my own question so that if anyone else has a problem they can find the solution here.
You will need a computer with iTunes running and your sync cable.
Here's what I found out... If you hold down the power button and the home button for a ridiculously long time (close to a minute and it might cycle through the plain apple picture twice) you eventually will get the a screen that looks that looks like an iPhone sync cord and an arrow pointing to a red iTunes logo.
You can then hook the phone up to your computer, boot up iTunes, and the phone will be recognized by the computer. After that, you simply go to iTunes and pick the option "restore iPhone" and that should work... This will reset your phone to the factory settings.
Once this is done, you can sync to iTunes again and restore all your phone from your iTunes back up. If you don't have a back up, this will probably wipe out the data on the iPhone, but at least you'll have a working phone when you are done.
I'm really kicking myself for removing the English keyboard, but as it was an option to remove it, I couldn't imagine that the phone would have a problem like this if I eliminated it. Apple will really need to rethink this one if they give the option of removing their English keyboard.
Good luck!

Can I open a notification from lock screen with just Touch ID?

Is there a way to open a notification from the lock screen by using only the Touch ID feature?
For instance, on my lock screen I will get a notification of a new email then I have to swipe at the email notification then type in my code or use Touch ID then the email opens.
Is there a way for when I get an email notification on my lock screen to just put my finger on the Touch ID sensor and have the email open? In other words, can I bypass the swiping motion of the notification with just a Touch ID sensor touch?

I haven't found a way to do so either. And I agree that it is pretty annoying. Touch ID is a great piece of technology but it is not well thought through and heavily underused from a software point of view.

Can't reject a call from lock screen with pin password

When I set a PIN code for my iPhone with iOS7 "7.0.2" and recieve a call, I don't get an option to reject that call directly!
The only valid options on the lock screen is either to set a reminder to call back the caller or reject with message. Is there any hidden feature behind this? or Apple really intended that?
Attached 2 screen shots for a caller
While screen is locked with PIN password
While screen is unlocked

It has been this way for some time. This is how you would decline a call from the lock screen, and then declining a call from the open screen is how you have it showing.
