Notification Centre on WP8.1

[12Danny123]

I'm still waiting on the ability to search files on the friggin phone from a single place (like spotlight search on iPhone or search in Win 8.1), and a ******** BUILT IN TIMER/STOPWATCH! I'm gonna be really ticked off if both of those features are still missing.

Bing smartsearch is coming. Also I'm sure they can easily port their alarms windows 8.1 app to WP

I have a question to all of you in this forum.
Which notification center would you all prefer(ios,android or wp)???
In my opinion considering leaks of action center....i would prefer wp....that's gonna be awesome...what about you all??

WP all the way, I like the dark color since I like the dark side , but I do think all 3 get the job done pretty good

And a proper Recording app which can record under lockscreen and in the background.

Here's what it would look like on a Lumia 1020.

In my opinion - ugly and a rip off from an Android custom ROM. Does nothing unique. MSFT being the last one in the race had a chance to come up with a trick that was unique to them and an airflip that was never seen before, but alas, we are playing catch up by copying how the front runners are running.

+822 for the ugly comment, but its still work in progress, so we can keep hoping.

It looks like individual settings can be brought to this quick access settings. in the other leaked screenshot it showed different items that could be chosen. I cannot wait for a developer preview already.

This does indeed look pretty fantastic.

I just hope Microsoft doesn't find some reason to push this update back once April rolls around the Notification Center along with the Cortana voice assist could make or break the platform. As for us VZW users we'll probably have to wait until 2015 before we get 8.1 so who am I kidding? We haven't even got the Black update yet what a joke...

why is it ugly ? I guess that's subjective.


I don't think MS has to do anything unique. It's just a damn notification center. I don't think there's a lot to add.

They are frontrunners for a reason...sometimes copying, or mimicking a leader is not a bad thing. There aren't but so many ways to show notifications.

so how would you do two fingers with one-handed use?

 

[btgusto]

Why do you care that it looks like android with a wp design applied? At some point most design features of smart phones become ubiquitous. So we really need to stop the "Their copying" rants. Swiping down makes sense because MS is looking for familiarity for users to switch over and you can access it with a swipe from any where in the phone.

Custom Rom so it's not original Android since it's custom

looks really ugly, bad microsoft

 

[jdholland79]

I think it would be cool if in the settings menu the was an option to make it so you could get notifications by swiping down or up or to the right make it so you could have it were you like it how you liked it ]

Of course there could have been a unique way! This grouping under a swipe is so Android. We have HUBS. We could have used ME hub for notifications. We already collect social notifications in that hub, why couldn't the OS extend to collect notifications on there?

An option to swipe with two fingers from top would slide in the ME tile with all the notifications. This way those who want Android/iOS features where they have always been, because they can't be arsed to learn new stuff, can have notification drop down "unique to WP" and those like me who love tiles, could still have ME tile pinned and get tile to flip when there are notifications. Silent notifications can keep building up in ME hub and could be accessible with swipe.

See my reply above. There are ways unique to WP. That would have been a choice to users as well as a tick in the list of feature. Tile lot gets tile. Drop down lot gets drop down.

Nothing is original in Android

You forgot to mention goldfinger, moneypenny and the successor to Lumia 1020 ( which were all leaked by evleaks)

Which one is the successor to Lumia 1020? Thats the phone I've been wating for, but I have not seen anything about it yet. I'm so pumped!
