iPod touch 4.3 update causes corrupted WiFi icon?

[Helo2050]

I started this on the Apple forum. I've tried to contact Apple centric blogs like TUAW & MacRumors (in hope to get enough attention) but nothing has materialized other than on a few message boards.

There's another thread started before yours that groups all issues with 4.3 together in a more appropriate thread, but that's debatable.

In any event, give apple your feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

I have a Touch 4G, and the same thing's been happening.
I can't get screenshots, every time I try, it stops.

Here is the feedback I left for Apple:

iOS 4.3 Update to iPod Touch 4G Causes Many Glitches

The iOS 4.3 update to my iPod Touch 4G has caused some glitchy operation:
- Corrupted wireless and battery icons
- Flickering on the lock screen when an alarm or alert is displayed
- Occasional long delay when opening apps such as Camera or Video
- My custom ringtones were removed from the alarms settings... Ringtones sync setting in iTunes was unexpectedly turned off (perhaps by a recent update to iTunes?). I use a custom ringtone for alarms and timers and immediately after iOS 4.3 the custom ringtones were gone until I connected to iTunes and found the improper Ringtone sync setting.

EDIT:
Does anyone else have the occasional freeze (2-3 seconds) when opening apps such as the camera?
Did anyone else lose their custom ringtones?

Well, I think if somebody can downgrade to ios 4.2.1, please hurry up; if can not, we need to wait for ios 5.0, because I have never heard Apple will realease any package to repair it.

I have a stock Touch 4G and did the 4.3 update last night. Most of the time when I come out of standby, the WiFi icon is corrupted while the lock screen is showing. Anyone else seeing this?

YES!!! same situation... got the device saturday at 8pm and updated 12 hrs later and not only the wifi but the pincode unlock, play button in the multitask bar, battery charge, and wrong pincode screen... i read on apple's 4.3 forum that it was probably a 4.3 bug....

Okay, I managed to take a picture of it. Really apparent.
(Sorry the full-resolution picture is really blurry. Didn't bother to clean the lens before shooting. I also have close-ups if anyone can't see it...)

That is the exact problem I have, the wifi icon is messed up, the lock icon, the battery icon, everything!!!!
APPLE IF YOU ARE SEEING THIS FORUM PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!!!

4.3.1 fixes this
