[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
I love it - looks great and functional too.

Yes Metro UI is uncluttered, but unfortunately that means lists of white text on a black background...again and again. It's easy to use but boring to look at - reminds me of an old DOS terminal!
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Did you seriously just copy "Notification Center" from iOS 5 right down to the name?

In any case, it looks good. But I'm not sure Microsoft wants to go the down-swipe route. Maybe swipe right to a pane to the left of the start screen?

Or even an extra button on the start screen to go to a Notification Hub. The App list has Search, the Home Screen can have the notification button with a number inside the bubble. I think taht would be elegant and the most unintrusive way to add it in.

In the Hub you can have Notifications and Reminders, however if you have to go to the Notification Hub to get reminders you're already somewhat failed there :P The OS supports Tasks and To-Dos with half-screen notifications/reminders. There's no need for that pane, IMO.

I am sort of pissed that Microsoft didn't make toasts a rolling 3D box like Apple did in iOS, though... They really need to add a bit more 3D to the OS. It's way way too flat IMO. Almost painstakingly so.

Your Skype thing bought an issue to mind. Why doesn't the message hub in Mango have a graphic or text to tell you your online status? After all, the phone does not log you on automatically when you [re]boot it up.

The music playback controls there are thoroughly unnecessary since they're easily accessible by just pressing a volume key. Waste of space.

I actually think the bubble (Notifications for Start, Search for App list in same spot) would be a better solution than a gesture. Some apps take over that top area and I'm not sure how the phone will handle it when you have UI elements up there that need to be tapped or dragged.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mrTablet:
Looks like Android not Windows Phone!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Way to busy, Metro is an elegant yet minimalist UI. This concept looks like a breed between Android and Windows Mobile. With Nokia now contributing to the actual OS I believe the 3rd page concept found on Meego will/should make the jump (minus twitter and facebook since they're already in the People hub).

I much prefer your other concepts ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
I like the idea of a swipe down for a metro list of recent notifications though...that's a priceless idea and seems to flow properly within the windows 8 ecosystem :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] finalzero:
I think you are missing the point.

Ignore the background and additional applications etc. The notifications themselves look great and an idea I was thinking about.

If you don't code this up, I will :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
very wrong imo. A swipe down where? Lock screen? That's not very convenient, home screen? We swipe up and down to navigate the menu. The most viable option is a third table.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
...

it's already in the os

swipe down you get your battery indicator and time...

same method of swiping but instead getting notifications...
[Windows Phone 7 General] digital_exhaust:
It does....

Nice concept, it's just not Windows Phone though...
[Windows Phone 7 General] the0ne:
go for it :)

@Peew971 : I didn't create it , one of our designers ( Yanko ) worked on the design
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
No, it's tap the top and you get a battery notification. The Swipe down only works because you finger either taps that area or stars off the screen, so it registers as a tap when your finger touchet the screen. There's no swipe down gesture for anything currently in WP7 on the start screen, except to scroll/pan the tiles and app list...

Plus, that area is useless to utilize that way because many apps completely obstruct it. They should have made it mandatory that apps leave that area of the screen alone (similar to Android Notification bar and the top of the screen in iOS).

Like another poster said, the most unintrusive way is either a third pane/table or the idea I proposed. A button under the arrow that goes to a Notification Hub with a small # in it that tells you how many are there.

Live Tiles are a good concept but whoever in Microsoft thought that was the complete makings of a decent notification system was smoking some really good crack that day.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blindpet:
I like this idea. I don't understand why people are saying it's not metro cause its not simple and elegant. If simple and elegant means I have to do endless swiping and scrolling to get my information, that's not cool. It is possible to maintain the elegance and simplicity but making it easier to get our info our to our desired app.

Sent from my 7 Pro T7576 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
for one thing I didn't even realize it was a tap. I always thought it was a swipe

secondly I don't mean the above area. That area is useless

but in a swipe down even to bring maybe a transparent screen or a notification hub not cram all of that crap on the top of the screen

That's ridiculous.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Maybe because you failed to read that it doesn't matter what's actually in there. The OP already said you can take that stuff out. What fluff is there doesn't matter. What matters is that we get a decent Notification system, which we currently do NOT have.
[Windows Phone 7 General] luckydog98:
This sounds like a good idea. I would like to see it integrated into the OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Indeed. A friend showed me the new iOS 5 notification system yesterday, and it is really nice. It is very obvious that Apple borrowed one concept from WP7 in the way they now display toasts, but the notification panel is everything I would want in a WP7 version. How you get to it is not the issue. Making it look more "metro-fied" is fine. Just make one.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BrumBrum74:
Looks amazing. Worth getting a WP7 phone just for that.

[Windows Phone 7 General] light_n_roses:
I don't use WP7 because I don't like te metro interface at all, expecially it way to be minimal, anyway your concept is very very good, way better than original design...call microsoft and ask for a job !!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] gade12:
it's perfect to do wp7 more friendly to users
[Windows Phone 7 General] ekimcak:
its really really really awessooommmeeeee ok queston is where can we find this to download ? :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] mepis:
I have to agree with ditching the music player controls. The basic controls are located on the lock screen as well. To be honest, at least for me, when using my focus and listening to music Im also not playing with my phone, but rather using it as a dtractory device to get other work done, Eg. mow, clean, drive to work, writing, etc... Putting music controls in a notification center may be redundant when they are also located in the lockscreen and easily accessible other ways as well.

My question is, do you intend to code and release something to this effect, even if it may only be for side-loading-enabled devices? Otherwise it's just a **** tease and I recommend you to stop.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
They are just design concepts. I don't think hacking wise we're anywhere near being able to implement something like this yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] finalzero:
I am working on some prototypes but it's hard to access certain parts of WP7.5 until Microsoft release more info to developers.

I will you guys posted, the plan is to at least get a working application based on these mock ups going and then we can go from there.

Cheers,

[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
I dislike idea (instead of quick & easy access to mail/calls/fb etc. I should make bunch of clicks through on you "fancy" android-like UI) even as drawing (instead of elegant Metro UI - colorful unreadable android mess).
[Windows Phone 7 General] xDomsx:
Just 1 statement:

Minimalistic design (=customization) + 99% of apps are crap = WTF!!!

Why shouldnt we have something like this? Concept is gr8. Only design should be changed to fit this "Metro" UI.
[Windows Phone 7 General] the0ne:
It was never meant to be a tease .. it was a design concept . We don't have the dev-man-power to support such a project .

@finalzero : interested to see what you come up with :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I don't think Microsoft will ever open up the OS enough to do something like this. We'd probably need a full on (iOS-like) Jailbreak in order to integrate it
[Windows Phone 7 General] xDomsx:
Agree with you m8. We'll probably see this only on custom ROMs or in 2-3 years from now (on official version).

I just hope MS gives more info to developers so we can see more progress.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
You should make a WP7 notification center concept not android notification center :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] comeradealexi:
It looks nice but too busy for windows phone me thinks! Maybe drop the weather animation picture thing and simplify it and it'd be better suited :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] nacho685:

[Windows Phone 7 General] IXI Nyx IXI:

[Windows Phone 7 General] Jdixon85:
I think this is the best idea for any notifacation system on windows phone. Simple and clean. Just like the Metro UI :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] edved:
Scchweet! I like it!
[Windows Phone 7 General] gerbick:
I'd' love to see this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Silien:
I agree that this both looks and feels too much like Android.

Just to note. MS doesnt want toast notifications to be "remembered" by phone. This is by design. They dont want a place, where old notifications will be shown. Toats are only alerts, that something happened. And if app wants to persist this information, it should do it by itself.

Also, if you want to show some first-sight information, use live tile. Thats what it is for.

So to sum it up. WP7 doesnt need "Notification center". Right use of live tiles and toast can have same function.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
that's there intent but it kind of sucks to be forced to pin every app that might generate notifications.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
If it is "by design" that toasts are not remembered, then the folks at Microsoft or complete morons. Your typical zealot "use the live tile" argument is also completely wrong and short-sighted. Live tiles don't provide nearly enough capability to match notifications, and most often they only provide a clue that something happened, requiring me to open the app or hub where the rest of the notification can be found. That means opening several apps and hubs to get "caught up" with my phone. A single notification center would fix this serious deficiency.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
He is right, unfortunately. It is by design, and the same design will be carrying over to Windows 8. They have been referring to a "notification panel" as something of a junk drawer and that if a notification is important then it should be reflected in a live tile.

Perhaps not as big of a deal on Windows 8 since you have larger tiles and can fit more information on there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blindpet:
If Microsoft's philosophy is that any notifications/updates should be updated in a live tile, then how do they justify their use of oversized live tiles like mail and messages which are basically oversized icons with a counter. They should be flipping live tiles that flip between the new messages that are unread. I would also like them to do this with half and quarter tiles. Half wide tiles could flip between the counter/icon and the actual message so you at least knew who it was from.

Any takers?

This seems like the best way to reconcile the toast notifications staying with the live tile being useful in terms of messages and emails.
[Windows Phone 7 General] badboy70:
I'd just like to swipe to one side for apps, the other side for notifications.

Simple as that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blindpet:
Your idea is not incompatible with mine ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Silien:
I think the key idea is, that each app might show the "notified" event in a different way. With different data.

Thats why there would either had to be a way for each app to customize the display in the "Notification center" or simply make the app show the notification by itself.

And thats how MS wants it to be done. LiveTiles are not about "what" exactly happened. But that it happened (and how much of it happened), but if you want details, you need to open the app.

And that shouldnt be a problem, because all apps should open in 5 seconds.

And if you dont want pin the tile, then why should the phone think, that the app is important enough to keep notifying about the app?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Live tiles are old news. Tiles are big icons and counter on them are like iOS badges. Live flip tiles are like android widgets. if it happened is obvious any decent feature phone has counters for that. What is important is that the user can get enough info at a glance to prioritize the checking of their notifications.

It means even tho a tile reads 2 you can skip opening that app and save time because you can clearly see those notifications are something you want to bother with.

The was Microsoft implemented notifications is a huge time waster, and instead of saving us for our phone they've shackled us to it more cause we have to do more work on wp than on other platforms to actually clear them.

I'm astonished people are still defending obvious bad design.

There's a reason why apple has toasts and a notification bar, in addition to badges and popups. and google has always had that. It makes sense. Wp's notification system will never make sense no matter how hard you try to make it so.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
So, what you are claiming is that Microsoft's whole "glance and go" marketing for WP7 was nothing more than a lie. Because having to open 5-10 different apps or hubs to find out what happened in each (which often requires much more than just looking at the main screen of the app or hub) is a lot more time intensive and orders of magnitude more annoying than opening one notification center that contains them all. So, if this is what Microsoft wants (based solely on your claim), then WP7 will never catch on.

Oh, and BTW, most apps take far longer than 5 seconds to load. Far longer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I don't think this discussion can really get anywhere anymore. The defenders have hijacked it. There's a thread on wp central that is a lot more constructive.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DustinWolf:
People seem to fail to think about a lot of things.

One thing is developers. Live tiles in theory work as a great alternative to a notification center. BUT only if developers utilize them properly.

Nope. Live tiles can do more than that. My calendar tile, for instance, displays appointments for that day (as well as birthdays)

I pinned my friend to my start screen and the tile displays his latest tweet. Weather displays the temperature and a sun or moon based on

the time of say. Mail will show a preview of my unread emails. Weave news reader shows the latest articles. My me tile shows how many mentions I have unread. Metrotube shows latest videos from my subscriptions. They work as good, if not better than a notification center.

Problem is, most devs on WP at the moment DONT UTILIZE THEM. at most, they slap a number notification tile on their app and move on.

Nope. The people smoking crack are the devs making the apps. Why, see what I just said.

Also, a notification center uses toast notifications. Its a notification center after all. Problem? Most apps don't use them.

I probably have about 3 apps that use them. I can name 2 off the top of my head. Alphajacks; Send to Windows Phone. Toast notifications

are used LESS than live tiles. SO even though a notification center woks in concept, real world, it would be less used and supported than

the live tiles. It would require devs to put a major effort to add toast notifications in a large amount of apps for a NC to even be remotely useful.

and if they are going to put all that effort into that, they might as well use what Windows Phone already has and make a decent live tile.

Now if Microsoft made a place to see notifications from apps NOT pinned to the home screen (say, a page accessed by swiping to the right from the app-list?) I would be warmer to such an idea (I can understand wanting to see updates from an app without pinning it).

TL;DR Live tiles can be used as an alternative, and a Notification Center works in theory but not in reality.

Also, yes I know this thread has been dead for over a year, but it seems that people are still thinking Windows Phone needs a Notification

Center today and talking about it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GAPY427:
Just received my Infuse 4G and I think I rooted it, but I can't bring up the regular recovery menu (install zip from SD card, etc.). I have Superuser and ROM Manager, but when I reboot into recovery, the standard menu does not show up but another one with totally different choices. By the way, when I installed CWM it didn't have the Infuse as a choice for devices. Did I skip a step in the rooting process?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] brorex:
If you are rooted use SGS kernal flasher and flash a custom kernal that will give you recovery easiest way i think
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Or Odin/Heimdall a custom kernel in download mode - don't even need root for that.

And don't use ROM Manager - it just causes problems on our devices since it insists on using a crippled recovery that isn't compatible with Voodoo Lagfix.
