Not impressed by the action center

[T Moore]

I thought it was the Notification Center.

It is indeed called the action center. :smile:

 

[ushodax]

for me there's 3 things that i would improve

1) 5 toggles for all screen sizes, not only for the lumia 1520
2) smaller space between the notifications
3) smaller font size for notifications

i don't really care for the last two, it they change it, it's okey if they don't, okey. But the Five toggles is a must! i mean there's wasted space inside the toggles, c'mon!

But like with everything else, to each its own. I was all against an action center altogether but now I've had a chance to use it myself, I'm glad it's part of the ecosystem now.

Why wouldn't you want such a nice thing ? It adds to the integrity of any OS. For God's sake BlackBerry has one

 

[Azurus]

ok thanks, just curious can you schedule for her to turn it off?

I tried , sadly it doesn't :s

I need the data button too, Nokia Lumia 822 has a glitch over tmobile network that it only lets you text over 2g, so I switch back and forth constantly.

That's soo sad , I really feel bad for you. There are always third party apps that provide you for tiles to direct you right to the data connection settings

No that's the bottom part , the action center refers to the toggles up there

Right on all counts . Didn't know 1520 had 5 toggles , thought Microsoft was too lazy to do that and would just throw in 4 oversized toggles

2. yeah but I have my home Wi-Fi saved and all the local places' networks saved and connect automatically so I wouldn't go all the way to connect because WP8.1 is smart enough to connect automatically. Barely BARELY do I open my Wi-Fi settings to connect to a new network. do you get what I'm trying to say ?
3. I dk , could be. Its not something major anyways

2. You can set wifi to automatically connect to existing wifi spots you have saved.

I like the WiFi toggle direct me to the setting when I want to turn it off
Because I can set auto turn on duration.
That's why they direct me to the setting instead of directly turn off.

a few months back when I heard about the action centre I was very excited and I'm glad its there. Notice I said the action centre and NOT the notification centre. Just in case someone tries to act smart or anything
Moving on. lets face it everyone, I can guarantee to you100% that the two most used toggles are data Connection ON/OFF and the Wi-Fi. So here are the 3 bummers that I found in the action centre. Data connection as in Data Pack as in 3G,4G, etc.;
1. Absence of a Data Connection toggle
2. the Wi-Fi toggle isn't really to turn it on or off but to take you to the setting for Wi-Fi where you can turn it ON/OFF. Now hold on, I know that you can use the Wi-Fi button to directly turn it ON but NOT to directly turn it OFF. This makes it a total of 3 steps 1.swipe down 2. tap the Wi-Fi button 3. switch Wi-Fi off from the normal settings menu. In contrast to the old way of toggling Wi-Fi on and off which was adding a tile and pressing that tile will take you directly to Wi-Fi setting. See? a total of 2 steps only. So Microsoft added an extra step really unless they change that into an ON/OFF toggle like a rotation lock or airplane mode

3. (not really relevant but there is a millisecond lag while swiping down between revealing the action centre and notification centre which ruins the beauty of the action + notification centre

1. Agree but hope they will add it soon but I don't really use it
2. Yeah I feel wrong too when I want to turn off wi-fi
3. I thought that just for me who use low device (I'm using 720). I think this lag because it just use the lowest processor and ram consumption. Yes it will be a little lag but it save more battery consumption and make first apps not getting lag. I hope they will make it more smooth

but I honestly must say that I really love this notification center
even with their flaws, well nothing is perfect and I enjoy and use it every time

 

[meddyrainzo]

What I would really like...actionable notifications.
That would be a great addition to the whole "better notification and banner" experience.

I am impressed with the notification and action center and I do hope MS adds a data toggle for all those that need it

 

[prasath1234]

Have a app like status tile nd pin all your toggle to start screen matter solved.

Mobile network isn't there in action center like Android
That is the important thing in action center I'm not satisfied in this action center

 

[rusty_sim]

Definitely agree with 1.

But I'm so happy it's finally here!!! Its such a basic feature for android and apple

U r correct

 

[slyronit]

What you generally do is not what people do. I would prefer to go into my Wifi settings and manually select Wifi hotspots from the Action centre without going into settings. To that effect, the Action centre works perfectly.

I really agree with you on No.1. I usually toggle my data settings 10-15 times a day, while I use WiFi once in 10-15 days. This is seriously inconvenient & now I'll have to keep an app installed on my phone which can provide a data settings tile on my start screen. I simply can't understand why MS likes to remove or does not like to add something which brings convenience to many of us. I specifically needed a data toggle in the action center, & without it, it's next to useless for me.

Yes that's what I just said
