Q: control center won't work after 7.02 update

After the update it won't open no matter how many times you swipe up.  Did a soft reset and removed it from the otterbox case and results are the same.

    Hey Imissmymac,

     

     

    Thanks for the question. Let's check your Control Center settings to make sure "Access on Lock Screen" and "Access Within Apps" are enabled:

     

    iOS: Understanding Control Center

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5858

     

    You can enable and disable access to Control Center from the Lock screen or apps in Settings > Control Center.

    To avoid accidentally displaying Control Center, some apps that rely on similar gestures, such as maps and games, may require you to swipe up twice: once to reveal the handle for Control Center, and a second time to reveal Control Center.

     

     

    If you are unable to access Control Center from the Home Screen, and continue to have issues, you may want to restore your iPhone:

    Thanks,

    I don't know if that fix helped the person who first asked--but it's sure not helping me. I've spent HOURS trying to make the darn Control Center open so I can access the flashlight. I simply will NOT open.

     

    There should be another way to access the things in the control center--like FLASHLIGHT

     

    Notificaitons opens fine..all apps open fine. There is no case blocking it.

     

    The sound died--I only have sound if the car charger is plugged in or if I use a headset or a dock. The thing won't even RING now.

     

    I think putting on iOS 7 yesterday was the dumbest thing I've ever done. It just is too buggy.

    I had this same issue after updating to iOS 7.02 during a restore of my iPhone 4. I could not swipe up to access the control center except on the lock screen.

     

    I did a hard reset of my device and the control center is finally opening for me on the home screen + other apps.
