Is there a trick to making the handle to open the Control Center more responsive? With my Otterbox Defender case, I have a difficult time opening control center. With it removed, it works fine.
iPhone 5, iOS 7
Brilliant, Futuremd65! It's the upward "arc" that did the trick! Thanks!
I have a Ballistic HC case and I have had a hard time with the Control center opening. I found if I tried swiping straight up it's never effective than if I do the arcing swipe described - start near the home button and finish the curve near the mid-point of the right edge of the screen. Thanks for that!
I think this is biased toward right handed users. Why not make it the area and movement as the notification center but from the bottom?
Finally! I have a method that work for opening the Control Center almost every time with my Otterbox Defender.
It is actually all in the amount of touch pressure.
In other words, if you try too hard... you'll never get it or you will frustrate the **** out of yourself.
Here is the key, if you use a SUPER LIGHT touch, it works! You don't even have to get your finger all the way to the bottom. Just take your finger and do a "Feather Like "swipe from the bottom of your screen and the control center will pop right up!
I struggled with this forever until I realized I was just trying way too hard.
Give it a try and let me know if I'm crazy.
How did you get it to work?
Futuremd65, thanks very much for this simple yet priceless solution. I'm glad I can keep my case and not have to buy another one.
What works for me, using the Otterbox Armor Series, is start with the thumb/finger on the case and swipe up quickly. This seems to work almost every time. If i try to put my thumb/finger on the very bottom of the screen, it never worlks. Hope this help.
