disable notification center iphone


Help please!! I updated to ios5 about a week ago and mostly regret the update.

That notification center is important for some but I' d really prefer turing all that stuff off again to get the good performance of ios4 back to my iPhone 4. Please is there an option to turn that notification center off altogether? I disabled all "show in notification center" options and i got no use of the empty pull down screen (i hope you know what i mean ^^). I really can notice a difference as for example "fifa12" now rather often lags and before the ios update it didnt.


Whats also worrying me is that since I wanted to try out the iCloud service (which could make sense for documents for example) I cannot turn it off again completely. And when I disable only one option e. g. "photostream" and then try to take and view pictures, my iPhone tells me it would have been "locked". So I was FORCED TO USE ALL THAT ICLOUD STUFF AGAIN (i couldnt take pictures, add calendar events, edit and add contacts -> crazy!)


I dont want to blame you, but apple should do something if they want to keep happy customers happy… one last question: if notification center and icloud cant be turned off, is there a possibility to "downgrade" to ios4?


Many thanks in advance

iPhone 4, iOS 5

Apple removed my first post for no good reason, so I'm going to try to be as constructive as possible without being as blatantly angry as I actually am... even though I find it ironic that their deity ; Steve Jobs, was never anything close to constructive or reserved when criticizing people or products, yet somehow it seemed to work...


Anyways, I agree with the above post 1,000%. I too have absolutely no desire for the notification center. I badly need to disable this so called feature. Why exactly was it added to my phone in the first place? It does nothing but hinder my experience and pop up in the middle of my games when I don't want it. Did I ask for it? No. I don't want it at all. Give me the option to remove it, many people have asked for it and it seems to be slowing down a lot of games.
