Disable "Notification Center"

Notification center destroys the iPad experience for our kids :-(

I'm right there with you, I want to disable notification center entirely and it's intruding into everything I do on my phone.... and I can't disable it, which is just plain stupid. iOs 5 ***** so much on so many different levels I can't even fathom the stupid choices that went into making it the way it is. I'm developing an app for the iphone so I can't revert back to iOs 4, but honestly, if things stay the way they are, I'll never buy another apple product, nor will my clients.

Edit: LOL, they bleep out "*****", that's hillarious. Might as well just bleep out anything negative AT ALL. Or anything in all caps, why not.

This works -- for iPad3, too! Thanks.

I also totally loth that notification center and would love the ability to remove it. But appearently we just aren't aware of the fact that this is something we REALLY need.... after all just ask Apple, they do no wrong..lololololololol

I agree. Too often the pull down notification center screen comes down when I'm playing an instrument on the iPad and the iPhone both. It would be nice to disable it for some apps or I'd just opt to have it off when I'm playing music with the iPad.

What an awful addition! This notification swipe action is crippling all of my games! Not impressed with iOS5. My phone has gotten significantly slower, too. Grrr! If someone figures out how to revert to an earlier OS, lemme know.

I also despise notification center. I bought an ipad, and my children loved it so much that I ended up getting them each ipod touch. Everything was great until IOS 5. Notification center interferes with so many apps, and I can't get rid of it. It may be an improvement for some people in some situations. For the rest of us it's annoying. Please add the ability to disable or remove notification center.

I just got off the phone with Apple. There currently is no way to stop notifaction center. Although it was suggested that I submit my comments on www.apple.com/feedback Please join me in asking all your friends to submit feedback concerning the irritation and frustration cause by notification center.

The procedure posted below by luksona7 worked for my iPad3. It's a miracle, as the fricking notifications tray kept showing up when I was doing ordinary graphics work on that side of the screen. Super annoying not to be able to turn it off when using the full touchscreen for basic tasks like this. What a glitch! Anyway, I followed the YouTube video instructions -- had to try it twice -- and it worked for me. Hate that tray!

thanks a lot man! thats amazing!!!

i guess it's an ios bug and apple will fix it later on.

there is another bug which is the 3g toggle while on 2g and do reboot,

it will turn to 3g again automatcally!!

Think that's one of the features of iOS5.

Don't think you can disable it any further, however if anyone else knows, please feel free to share.

I hate notification center too and I see it as a "bug". I dont use it but still an empy grey screen comes down. Logicly it must be disabled if nothing is on right?

I am with adding the ability to enable/disable the notification center.

It will be great to have this option.
