Yeah to the above poster (5thSymphony) half the items you listed are not bugs, they are either not supported on the iPhone or not supported on the 3GS model... (or in the case of the button to the camera on the lock screen you have to double tap the home button...)

You can organize them how you like. Just move the stocks and weather to the top of your list.

Thanks guys

The 3GS has custom vibration patterns in the Accessibility Settings.

Double click on lock screen to get it.

Newsstand cannot be put into a folder

It's a folder in itself, a 'special' folder. you cannot put a folder within a folder.

No TABS in safari

iPad only

No "pinch zooming" nor croping in camera

it's not in camera, it's in Photo. you go into an image, hit edit in the top right and you get 4 icons along the bottom, rotate, autoexposure, red eye removal and crop.

No custom vibration patterns in 3GS

it's enabled in accessibility, then you go into sounds and it's at the bottom

so all your comments are down to user error

The fact you can now set the maximum messages downloaded through email to 1000 instead of 250 is a nice addition for moi

Syncing takes forever... anyone have same issue ?

If it's the initial sync, it's going to take a while...

If it's the initial sync, it's going to take a while...

Yup. First sync takes a bit. After that, no problems.

what can the accesibility feature custom gestures do? I've seen that you can create them i just haven't seen anyone use it.

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!

Something like what BlackBerry has would be downright ideal. Coming from a BB, you wouldn't believe just how useful it was! Or perhaps there will be some app to reduce the LED Flash brightness.. mmm. Still, it's at the back of the phone

Sponsored links in Google Maps. I searched Banana Republic today and it was a sponsored link with extra info.

I have seen sponsored links on my 3GS on 4.3.2 maybe it was already there? also how did you get the numerical signal strength? I'm in Canada on Rogers.

Still no ability to change text message app wallpaper????

 

[michael31986]

So quick question on lock screen can u have widgets like weather that update every hour or so like the htc phones? Also we can buy text tones now!

Oh I've never seen this before. That's curious. I thought it was new. I've honestly never seen it before.

Would you mind showing me that happening on 4.3.x?

And numerical signal strength is from field test mode I enabled ages ago. I don't think it's open anymore. It's stayed in my updates.

i can pinch and zoom in the camera mode. i am on a 4

Why would you want to do that?

 

[bruceleroy]

Because that grey background is boring...figured it would be added since most of these updates are basically jailbreak tweaks...also the ability to change text message balloons would be nice

Is newsstand not suppose to be working ?

 

[vincenz]

Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but mail gets sent extremely quickly now. If you're on wifi, it's almost instant.

great question, please let me know if someone finds this out!

I would really like to know if today's to-do's show up in notifications!

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?

 

[bman1209]

you need to press the home button twice to get the camera?

So you need to push the home button twice to get the camera shortcut from the lock screen?

Not as a static to do but if you set a daily reminder or a reminder is due on a day at a certain time they show up as well. Think of it like an alarm clock alarm. Which also shows up on lockscreen.
