no joke!.. it is not what i'm used to and i'm pulling my hair out over trying to figure out new BiteSMS 6 on iOS 5.0.1 #tear.....
i just updated the iOS last night.. i have forever been loyal to my iOS 4.2.1 (greenpois0n baby!).. #ifitain'tbrokedonttrytofixit!!... but w/tons of new apps & tweaks coming out that require iOS 5, and w/iPad HD coming out tom, i have a feeling they're gonna be dropping iOS 5.1 as well and I won't be able to do a clean update via iTunes once that happens, so i folded and am now running iOS 5-strong.
anyhow, back to BiteSMS 6 on iOS 5.x..::
-i too miss the ability to click on the numbered bubble in the status bar to get a list of my unread msgs! #tear ..someone above mentioned being able to pull down the Notif Center to view unread msgs, i will have to give that a try..
--seeing how i installed BiteSMS rt away, i cheated myself in getting an experience w/the updated native messaging app/notification system.. anyone recommend i uninstall BiteSMS and run the native just for the experience??... (no?, hah, me either!!)
-my biggest feature w/old BiteSMS, which i am mickeymousing around and have almost got back, is the Lock/Unlock settings of 'Show Nothing'.. why was it necessary to remove this? I don't want to restort to the SBSettings of killing SMS Alerts, i just don't want alerts while i'm unlocked and working diligently on my phone!.. i swear this was the best feature!.. no interruptions while you're working... u get a text message while unlocked? great! the lil numbered bubble shows up in the status bar and you can check it when you've got a moment!
..
.
anyhow, these are my 2cents.. once i leave work maybe ill come back and really spill my heart out into this post.. i'm glad i'm not the only one who is heartbroken over the lost features!..
