Action Center does not not retain the action icon on status bar even though there are remaining item
- That may cause clutter like the ugly Android status bar. And I repeat, the notification icon only disappears if you actually slide the shade all the way down so that the notifications are visible. If you only side it half-way down (which you should for toggling a setting or viewing battery) the notification icon remains--it doesn't vanish when you don't actually view the notifications.08-16-2014 04:28 PMLike 0
- Heck no! There are more than enough icons along the top already. It's absolutely fine the way it's working right now.

- Hi can see chmunn77 point on this and it makes sense but however the way it is, is fine. If you think about it if the notification centre says you have a new activity and forgot what it was for then 99% of the time the other app tiles will tell you (missed calls, text received, emails, facebook, WhatsApp) etc..... So the way it works is ok. But like I said I can understand where he/she is coming from but it really is all about making sure you got tiles on your screen that you need which will tell you if you have any missed calls. This is the way its always been and the notification is a bonus as it were

- Chmunn77 I see your point but unfortunately still don't agree. Others have mentioned that the icon won't clear if you open it halfway but I can see how trying to do that quickly might be asking too much- unless you've practiced a lot.
I rather think the solution for you is to simply adjust how you use your phone. The problem you have stated doesn't outweigh the overall effectiveness of the solution, so it won't and shouldn't change. When I want to toggle something, I generally do open it all the way, and I take a mental note there and then that tapatalk has a new message, Bing news has something important, etc. Just glance at what app left something and you'll should easily get a gauge of importance.

- Tiles, and now the Action Center icon in the status bar, clear "when you look inside" because you have seen what's new and chosen to act on the contents or the not act on them. Tile counts and the Action Center are "new" indicators, not "unhandled" indicators. This point is a big one that the community argued when 7.0 first came out and the email tile count showed how man new items were present rather than how Manu unread items were present. Microsoft made the right decision because, on a phone where I need quick and relevant info while on the go, I just need to know that something new has happened, not that some existing state continues to exist.08-19-2014 11:22 PMLike 0
- Why would that be idiotic? Don't you wanna know there are still outstanding items for you to clear later in time after you have acknowledged only part of the list??? Or do you always clear EVERYTHING in one shot? You seriously think that it will be idiotic?08-19-2014 11:23 PMLike 0

And what's wrong with having icons on the status bar? Is a status bar anyway! From what I see the status bar no longer hides itself since WP8.1. Having status icons are not ugly, but helpful. If you find it is messy, just make sure you clear / dismiss everything notification. Simple as that.08-19-2014 11:48 PMLike 0 - This thread has been really educational. I originally wondered the same thing as the OP but this has cleared up a lot of things. It makes sense to be able to see only new things, like the "glance and go" selling point from before (or whatever they called it). One of the things I love since switching to WP is that I can check things easier and faster. On my Android phone I could see that I had 4 emails on my personal account, for example, but I had to open the app to see what they were if there was more than one. With WP I can glance and decide if it's something that needs to be dealt with now or later, and if it's a medium priority, I leave it in the action center. I really like that I can tap on one email without dismissing the rest.
It has definitely taken a little getting used to, but I like how it is set up on WP, and this thread has explained a lot.- Share
