Ok, seriously... custom vibrations? That's one amazingly neat feature I've never even thought about before. Not being sarcastic either. Not sure if Android already offers this... but wow. That's kinda neat! :apple:
 
I've seen the flash for notifications work in a video. Problem is, it doesn't work for me. Anyone else have that issue or is it just not working?
 
Does anyone know if iCloud syncing can use an Apple ID that's different from the Apple ID used for the iTunes and App stores? I would like to be able to share apps among my family's other devices via one Apple ID, but I don't want to use that same Apple ID to sync to iCloud otherwise everyone else will also get my contacts, calendars, docs, etc.

unfortunately there are some problems with syncing multiple ids.
it locks you out of syncing the previous ID over icloud for 90 days when you switch IDs. = icloud useless for me.
 
Override silent mode?

Does anyone know if it's possible to override silent mode for particular functions in iOS 5?

I'd like to have my phone ring while having all other functions remain silent.

I'd also be nice to allow certain apps to override silent mode (a weather alerts app, for example).

I'm not quite sure how elegant Apple could make this, which makes me think this functionality isn't going to be available, but I wanted to double check.
 
I'm guessing the iPhone 5 will have some sort of less bright led notification when it comes out! I have seen patents for LEDs under the glass i think for notifications which would be awesome!
They'll probably copy the notification system the Playbook uses.
 
Just got i0S 5 working on my phone.

Restoring all my apps takes 2 hours via "PC FREE"

How do I disable this ****.... I like my fast steady wire
 
Can you set reminders to show up in the lock screen? Not just alerts, but for example tasks that are due today?

Can you tweet just plain text natively? Or can you only tweet a photo, map, website etc., and plain text need a Twitter app?
