Apple Releases iPhone OS 3.1.3: Addresses iPhone 3GS Battery Level Accuracy, App Launching Issues

My post was a bit brief (I had to get to work) so I'll explain the issue in a bit more detail now.
With OS 2, I could double-tap Home while music was playing to make the controls pop up. This still works in 3.1.2. However, in 2, after pausing the music I could double-tap again to re-open the popup and resume playback. In 3.1.2 that doesn't work and it just takes me to the app selected under Settings > General > Home.
In short, I'd like to be able to unpause music without quitting the running app, like I could in OS 2.
Edit: I'm using a first-gen Touch. According to TheSpaz's post below, there's historically been a different behaviour depending on whether you have an iPhone or Touch.
That's not what he means. iPod touch cannot double tap to bring up the controls UNLESS music is playing. Before, iPod users could double tap ANYTIME to bring up controls. Then Apple changed it so that it was the same as the iPhone.
This update is boring. What a long time to wait for nothing. Oh well, doesn't affect me because I'm not going past 2.2.1.
Im not sure if its even worth to do the update on my 3G. I will skip it unless i have some other reason to restore my phone.

The update bricked my Nexus One.

Updated my phone. It seems a little faster. It probably needed to be rebooted any way which may explain the speed increase. Developing and testing on the iPhone really drives the OS nuts. In the process of updating the iPhone SDK as well. I have not installed the beta version of the SDK. The iPhone SDK 3.1.3 seems smaller than the usual updates.
i have almost the same thing
i have a smart playlist that is a random 25 songs with a play count of 0. on the iphone it's a totally different playlist
That's a weird one. I was also having an issue with my smart playlists where I had them sorted by name in iTunes but they would appear in some random order on my iphone, Touch, etc. I had to add another rule to each smart playlist (Playlist Is Music) and that took care of it. Might be worth trying on one of your smart playlists to see if it helps.
Oh, fabulous idea - I'll try it because not having live updating on "recently played" is very annoying!
But I still want to make the point that it's been A YEAR of it not working properly.
Playlists are still all messed up when synchronised with iPhone 3GS
Seriously, I'm all about Apple cause things tend/used to work JUST FINE, but trying to remain impartial if we are going to call another company lazy for being buggy, how about next time we cover our own ass so we can display our arrogance to the four winds without the risk of burning out by making our own EXTREMELY LATE (on the simplest thing) FIX actually work.
I don't know about you but if you have your iTunes smart playlists checked with "live updating" they just don't sync in the same order in your iPhone or iPod touch, and this is not new for a long shot.
I am a patient man but if you claim that this "upgrade" (more like a patch) is supposed to fix it, well I expect the problem to be gone, SURPRISE, is not.
"LESS IS MORE", it's really all about the simple things isn't it??? remember what made u number one Apple and FOCUS, JUST FREAKIN FOCUS.
EXPANSION DOES NOT MEAN IMPROVEMENT IF YOU SPREAD YOURSELF THIN.
And before u quote ur "hate responses" I am pro Apple, and constructive feedback only leads to real improvements.
SO FYI, I will NOT stop using iTunes, and I will NOT stop using my Mac or iPhone 3GS, but it will definitely make my life a lot easier if something as simple as the playlists would work as it was before and as expected to.
That's all, if u feel the need to bitch about my post go troll or vent elsewhere. If u have a solution or an actual point I will appreciate it and I am open for suggestions.
Thanks in advance for any constructive reply that might help solving this problem.

Yeah - that's crazy that it's been like that for a year. My issue only popped up recently but I'm not sure what triggered it. Luckily that simple fix took care of my issue but you would think that Apple could come up with a fix on their own.
No it wasn't.
Was released about an hour ago worldwide, hence why my RSS feeds just exploded with "3.1.3 is out"
And just encase someone missed it:
Jailbreaking = No
Unlocking = No
Enables tethering for factory unlocked phones!
Great news for users of factory unlocked iPhones. This update reenables tethering. I am actually writing this post from my MBP which is connected to a factory unlocked iPhone 3G (carrier is o2-Germany) using USB-Tethering! Thought some of you might find this interesting! I love it!

Well, that was very interesting... I updated my English iPod, opened the Music app, and it's in Japanese. Head-scratching ensues, as the rest of the OS is still in English. I'm sure that I'll just need to toggle the language, but it's still bizarre.
The double-tap issue that I mentioned above is still not fixed.
