Does anyone actually use the notifications center?

You can only fit 2 live tiles on your screen? Is this your phone?

Nice, you were able to quote SOME of my post, now go back and read it then reply to it again!!!!

and I get notifications from those unpinned apps as well and as I don't have my phone with me EVERYWHERE I go

Sometimes you got to let those hard to reach chips go.

I get it, you're one of those people that have to react to every facebook like, instagram comment, etc, etc. Sometimes you just gotta let things go.

I use it constantly. The main things I look at are:

- App updates
- Hotmail & work email senders and subjects to triage incoming mail
- Reminders

Now, once 8.1 is fully live and app developers have better adopted it, I expect to use it far more, specifically for breaking news, traffic, weather alerts and sports scores and updates.

Live tiles are great, they are just different.

I certainly understand its usefulness, though I feel the excellent point has been made a few times that the effort to "match" the competition may be successful at the expense of what makes WP8.1 fantastic. That exceeding the competition should not mean mimicking them better; rather expanding on, and integrating into the fluidity of WP that we all love.


Plus, I have to say the front page article is pretty fantastic.

I for one cannot live without the new Notification Center. It's awesome!!

 

[nehijene]

That's too abstract.





Can you explain how Microsoft compromised -what make Windows Phone fantastic- in this particular case?





How should be the notification center to be in line with Windows Phone design?

The notification center is great.

I definitely us it to Glance at new incoming e-mails, missed texts and calls.
The best part about Notification center is it's shortcuts bar.

I often find myself turning On/Off Quiet Hours, Disabling/Enabling Bluetooth & Wi-Fi.
The only thing I'd like to be able to add is a an additional bar of shortcuts to customize it as:
Top Bar: Wi-Fi | Quiet Hours | Blue Tooth | Rotation
Second Bar: Air Plane Mode | Flash Light Mode | Calculator | Settings

The only reason I like these 4 is because notification center is accessible even when the phone is locked giving us greater control over simple functions that don't really impede on privacy.

Very glad they added it though~

I can't believe that there is someone asking such a question. It's the most important feature in any smart phone at all. I don't need to pin all applications to get there notifications. Moreover, you don't need to get out of app you're in to check out what is coming. All under your sliding thumb, include the short cuts and the setting.

I am experiencing a bug with the NC. It does not show any facebook notifications anymore and when I go into setting, I cannot set a Facebook account. What's wrong?

 

[Robin Paddu]

I love it !!!! its awesome!!!

 

[Varadharajan varadha]

Hi,

I'm using notification centre have few mostly using apps feels good and great!

 

[HAMEDACC]

Not too much, cause there is no any detail
But still I use it more than live tiles

 

[andynew89]

Well I use it very everyday and obviously I have set everything the way I wanted it so it's perfect

 

[rQvsnaps]

Everyday tool for me
The live tiles are neat but I find it easier to get a quick briefing on whats new from the notification center, without having to unlock my phone first. Makes it easier to quickly decide whether a notification is important or if it can wait, (important email, or someone uploaded a pic of their dog on facebook)

Go into Battery Saver and make sure that Facebook can run in the background.
