The control centre and notification centre on my iPad 3 running iOS 7 is not translucent, The control centre and notification centre on my iPad 3 running iOS 7 is not translucent

Apple told us that in the new iOS 7, menus such as the control centre and notification will be translucent, and allows users to see to some extent content concealed behind the menus.
I've update my iPad 3 to iOS 7.0.3. The menus (Notification centre, Control centre etc...) are not translucent, at all.
Control centre is completely greyed out, and I can't see anything behind the menu when called up.
Notification centre is similarly completely blacked out, though to a small extent I can see some content behind notification centre.
I've seen in video reviews of iOS 7 that notification centre and control centre are both close to being clear, and take up the colour of content behind them.
My iPad 3 does not display such aesthetics.
I know that some of you will say that I should turn off 'increase contrast', but that's not the case, since I've already turned it off.
The issue was already present when I update from iOS 6 to iOS 7.0.2, and the problem was carried over to iOS 7.0.3, in which I thought the issue would be rectified.
Is anyone else finding this issue present on their devices?
Has anyone found a fix yet?
Thanks!

Sadly, the iPad 3rd Generation does not recieve the blur/translucency effects which you are mentioning in iOS 7. (The reasoning for this situation is most likely listed below.)
1.) The difference in processing power between the iPad 3rd generation & iPad 4th generation, (The 4th Generation recieves these visual capabillities while the iPad 3rd Generation isn't capable of producing the effects).
2.) Marketing issues in which Apple prefers consumers to purchase a newer model instead of something older.
Turning on the 'Increase Contrast' option is Settings will on make the Notification Center & Control Center completely opaque. This setting is used to make text legibillity higher.
I hope that this answers your question, if you have anymore questions, just ask. Enjoy your iPad (:

  • I am having problem with my notifications bar and control centre bar. It doesn't work with sliding my fingers on the screen and when I restart the phone it works properly  but again after few days the problem persist? My phone is an iphone6 8.1.3

    notification bar and control centre not working by sliding on the screen and when u restart it works fine for 4-5 days then again the problem persists

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • Why isnt the iPad 3 having the blur effect in Control Centre plus Siri and the Notification Center anymore?

    I heard that beta 4 had the blur effect but since beta 5 the blur effect vanished and now my iPad looks ugly after update...how does it look beautiful when Apple hasn't supported the blur in iPad two and three!! Hope this is a bug...

    I bought the 64gb 3G iPad 1 and the 64gb LTE iPad 3.... My understanding at the time was that Apple has amazing support for older devices so it was worth it to me to spend close to $1000 for each iPad... But now... Seeing that they remove things like Blur Effects and Air Drop from devices that could support it, and they keep Siri off the iPad 2 even though the iPad mini gets ALL of these features... Good job, Apple, you taught me that it's not worth it to spend $1000 on an iPad when we all can be guaranteed you won't support it anymore after just two years. It's just not worth it.
    It's also sad that they don't have enough confidence in their new products, they have to intentionally cripple the older ones just to make the newer ones look that much better.
    I thought Apple was better than this. It's a bummer.... I was tempted to get the iPad 5 now, but 16gb is the most I would spend at this point knowing it will be obsolete and uglified within 2 years, not to mention 16gb is so low...I mean ***. Are we to believe that storage requirements haven't changed from iPad 1 ( a time when people weren't even sure what an iPad would be good for) and iPad 5 when people are creating content left and right.... 16gb is ridiculous... The pricing is an insult. At this point if they bumped 32gb to the bottom tier it would still be outdated. It should be 64gb, 128gb, 256gb....
    So for all of these reasons, it feels like Apple is trying to talk me out of buying a new iPad more than they are trying to sell me on one.

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    To start troubleshooting this issue where you're unable to access the Control Center or Notification Center when the iPhone is unlocked, please first restart your iPhone, and if the issue persists then reset the iPhone.

  • Couldnt slide down/up for notification centre and control centre.

    Since i update to iOS8 for iphone 5.
    Having problem to slide down/up notification centre and control centre.
    too much choices of access in Assistive touch. Choice of notification/control centre is pointless, since ios7 we can slide it down/up.
    why Apple dont have any twitter account for people to share. Seems like theres no PIC to incharge about customers problem.
    Im quite regret upgrading to iOS8.

    I have figured out the solution to all of our problems!!! We can keep the zoom function ON!!!! Yay!
    Step one. Turn back on the beloved zoom function.
    step two. Tap screen with 3 fingers.
    step three. Select window zoom. (If already selected move on to step Quatro)
    step qautro. Select Resize lens.
    and for the moment you've all be waiting for... Drum roll..
    the grand finale step. IS...
    shrink the window to the smallest size.
    AFter you have done these 5 steps, you can thoroughly enjoy having all three functions at once. If you switch back to Full Screen Zoom (if that be your preference) the notification and control centers will remain functional! Bon apetit!
    i have been successful enlarging the window while keeping the centers functioning by making sure the window is in the shape of a square.

  • How can I disable Notification Centre in IOS5 and go back to getting the big blue text message notifications?

    I have Iphone 4S on iOS 5
    I flicked the button in settings to set up Notification Centre, but now I want to disable Notification Centre as the text notification is nowhere near as good as the old 'big blue' text received box.
    1- where do I find button to DISABLE Notification Centre? (I can't find one)
    2- how do I revert back to the old big blue box text notification?
    Thanks

    I've tried literally every option available in "Notifications" to get back the big blue box, but it seems that every option I choose nothing really changes.
    The messages continue to come up with the small box, green Message icon, and the name and Text Message beneath.
    Is there no other way, or some sort of trick, to get the blue box back?
    Thanks!

  • I've found two bugs in iOS 7. 1) declined calls does not appear as missed calls on the lock screen/notification centre. 2) when bluetooth is enabled from control center, it does not connect to an already paired bluetooth device

    I've found two bugs in iOS 7:
    1) declined calls does not appear as missed calls on the lock screen/notification centre - iOS 7.0.2.
    2) when bluetooth is enabled from control center, it does not connect to an already paired bluetooth device automatically - iOS 7.0.

    Good.
    Three things come to mind:
    1.  I think you're implying when you travel away from your home to a more populated area, the cellular coverage improves and your iPhone works well.  Is that right?
    2.  Do you have a case or some other obstruction over or near your iPhone's antenna?  Have you tried moving or removing any possible obstructions near the antenna?
    3.  AT&T has a (free) app in the App Store called "Mark the Spot".  You can use this app to report voice and/or data issues to AT&T, as well as keep up on progress they may be making in improving coverage in your area.  Your trouble reports are geotagged (if you wish).
