Control Center iPhone 4

Because in iphone 4 the control center is a gray and not colourfoul and blur?? its lag??

You may not call it a "bug", but it could certainly be fixed in software by just adjusting the region of the screen that iOS considers to be active for this feature. I have the same problem, and I am using an Otterbox defender case, which is a popular top-of-the-line case, and never caused me any problems with any other feature or app. By the way, the swipe down for notification center works fine, but the control center (which was the reason I upgraded) does not.

Control Center; no audio; no AirPlay

I am comparing and contrasting two iOS devices, an iPhone 4S and an IPad 2. I get alll sound out of the iPad's speaker but only the System's sound out of the iPhone's speakers. On the iPhone I hear Siri fine. When I move the Ringer's volume sllder in Settings, the iPhone sounds. But no sound comes out of Safari, YouTube, iHeart Radio, Music, and several radio stations' proprietary apps.
I have done every task recommended online. I have cleaned the headphone jack and the dock port. I have restarted the iPhone. I turned off all applications individually and restarted.   I have moved the side switch up and down, up and down. I turned on Rotation Lock in Control Center and moved the side switch up and down and back up again. I turned off Rotation Lock and moved the side switch up and down and back up again. I turned on the Sound Check setting.
Interestingly there are differences in Control Center, both between the iPhone and the iPad and between both devices and what I see illustrated online.   Neither device displays the icons for Airplay and Airdrop in Control Center.   That is not immediately important to me, but the absence of both icons from both devices surely is significant.
In addition, Control Center in the iPhone does not display the volume slider below the playback buttons.   (In contrast Control Center in the iPad does showthe volume slider.)
There is a difference between the two devices in Settings. The Settings of the iPad has the setting that alllows me to alternate the function of the side switch between the mute function and the rotation lock.   This setting is completely absent from the Settings of the iPhone.
The iOS of the iPad is 8.3 (12F69).   The iOS of the iPhone is 8.3 (12F70). I do not know if that diffference is meaningful.
Does anyone have any further techniques beyond what I have described?
I have to suspect that the absence of the volume slider in Control Center means something.

Check the User Guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf. Information about AirPlay is on page 33. Sounds like you need to have an AirPlay enabled device on the same wifi network for AirPlay to show up.

Just do not update the iOS on the iPod. The only time you have to update is if the iPod has a problem and you have to restore via iTunes. Apple set up iTunes such that when you restore, the iPod is automatically updated to the latest iOS version for that iPod

Why is airdrop not even visible on control center on my iphone 5?

I have an Iphone 5 that has IOS 7 on It. I've read that the Iphone 5 has the capability to have airdrop, but it isn't on the control center. Any answers?

iOS: Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content
I assume that you're on wifi and have Bluetooth turn on and the person you want to airdrop with has an iphone 5 or higher and is also connected to the same wifi and has Bluetooth turn on.

How do I get AirDrop to appear in the Control Center?

When I swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center I do not have an AirDrop button. Also if I try to share a photo I do not have an option to share via AirDrop. AirDrop works on my iPad Mini but I cannot find any differences in settings on my iPhone that would explain why it does not work there. any ideas?

OK so I just found a page that says that the iPhone 4S does not support AirDrop even though it will runs iOS 7. So that explains the issue. But boo!

Why won't airdrop show up on my control center on my iPad? Also i can't get my pictures to sync from my phone to iPad through sharing.

AirDrop is not available on an iPad 2 or on an iPhone 4S.
To share content with AirDrop, both users need one of the following devices using iOS 7:
iPhone 5 or later
iPad (4th generation)
iPad mini
iPod touch (5th generation)

As to your photos, what sharing are you attempting? Did you enable Photo Stream?

Control center not working on iPhone 6 plus when in landscape mode

I has a iphone 5 before it , and there's no problem with the control center, now with this expensive iPhone 6 plus , the control is not working when the phone is in landscape mode , when the screen tapped repeatedly, I can only see the little tab of the control center but I can't able to bring it up.
Anyone has this problem?

Hello torontonightowl,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For some initial troubleshooting on this issue where you're unable to open the control center on your iPhone, please first restart your iPhone, and if the issue persists then reset the iPhone.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

HT5858 My iphone 4 has iOS 7, and the flashlight feature use to be in the control center however just recently I've noticed that it has disappeared, how do i get it back?

My iphone 4 used to have the flashlight feature in the control center. It obviously has iOS 7 in fact iOS 7.0.4 and now there is no flashlight icon in the control center, how do I get it back?

Thanks a lot!!! I honestly feel like that was the simplest thing ever and that I should've thought of atleast turning my phone off then back on again but again, thanks!!

AirDrop not showing up in control center on iPad

Why doesn't airdrop show up in control center on my iPad?

You can download a free app from the App Store called Instashare. It will allow you to share files between idevices wirelessly similar to Airdrop. It will work on a iPad 3 as I have it and use it. I think Airdrop would be much better but at least it's something besides emailing links or attachments.

My control center is not colorful in iphone 4 ios7

I have iphone 4 and when i open control center so it's not transparent and my cousine has iphone 4 his control center is colorful ......why ?

Your cousin has a 4S, not a 4. The transparency effects are not supported on the 4. Only the 4S and higher.

I am having the same problem with my Iphone 4. After update the phone will not control audio from the control center (Friend with Iphone 4S is having same issue). Tried to reset phone and it started working "once". Next time I tried to use the control center it didn't work again. Their needs to be some kind of a fix for this?

I cannot find the AirPlay icon for the life of me. I have iOS 7.0.2 on my iPad Mini. Connected to my WiFi network just fine. I swipe up to get to the control center badges and all I see is the AirDrop icon. Trying to disable mirroring on ipad for Netflix streaming and don't know what to do. Any luck out there?

If you last used an Apple TV to mirror your device and have updated to the newest Apple TV software, go into settings and turn airplay back on. The icon should then appear on your iPad mini when you swipe up allowing you to disable it for Netflix. After updating my Apple TV software for some reason it turned airplay off.

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.
