Seems like I just have to be patient.
thanks so much for the help, guys!Anyone else experiencing this particular weirdness on iOS 7 iMessage ??
My friend and his wife (and myself) are all on iOS7 now ... I get a text from my friend earlier ... halfway through the chat I realize it's his wife and not him - but she's texting from HER phone/number, not his! Huh?

Settings --> Notification Center --> Mail --> Click on each individual mail account you have set up --> Alert sound, change to whatever you want.
Brilliant!! Thank you
Did not realize this. I gather from your references to swiping gestures that you're referring to iPad? I've only upgraded to 7 on my phone thus far.
OH, ok, if that's what it looks like on iPad, then what that is, for me, it is the last open tabs from safari on my mac...I think this works with PC too if you have a browser linked to iCloud. ...or it is the last open tabs from safari on other idevices that have the same iCloud.
I think it has to do with the email associated with the Apple ID.
...so are you saying your son is set up to use the same email as you for FT/iMsg? If yes, then, you need to set up a separate email for him, separate the two of you. Once you do this, add his new email to his contact info, delete your email from his contact info., then change FT/iMsg.
I have only me on my Apple ID account, but, I have a father and son in my contacts, both the same name, one goes by Jeff the other Jeffrey, they have different cell numbers, but the same home number listed, I used to have a problem when I'd sync my contacts to FB, it would sync the wrong one to FB...so there's another thing to look for.
Parallax
Does the parallax effect work on the 4S. If so, do you have to activate it, how do you do this? Or is it automatic? I don't see any effect on my phone. I also noticed that on a video of the parallax effect being showcased, the solid grey background of the task bar and folders look transparent. How do I get that as well. Esthetically, this is the only thing I really don't like about iOS 7. Dull solid grey backgrounds.

Apps don't show in Control Center. Control Center shows in apps. You can set to show in all apps or none at all; you can't only pick some.

Answering my own question. But if anyone else can confirm, or explain in more detail, that would be greatly appreciated.
So I started playing around with diffrent wallpapers. It looks like the background of the task bar and folders aren't really translucent at all. They mimic the surrounding colours, so that it looks like it's translucent. Kind of like the way iTunes does for album covers. So if you have a wallpaper that's mostly black and grey in colour. iOS 7 mimics grey or dark grey. Bright pastelly colours like the ones in iOS 7, it mimics the colours within the area. With a very slight gradient at the top of the task bar matching the surrounding colour within that area, making it look like it's translucent.
As for the parallax effect, I used a pic of a friend of mine as a wallpaper, now I can see a little of the effect. It's very, very subtle. Unless your actually looking for it, and looking very hard, you won't notice it at all. I'm a little disappointed. Along with the faster drain on battery, even with background refresh, bluetooth and all other non-essentials turned off. Still drains a little faster than pervious iOS 6. Not bad mind you, but still a little disconcerning. Hopefully Apple will fix these issues in future updates. Just wondering why mine is very subtle, while others, you can clearly see the effect.
Just to clarify what I am asking. When you open the control center ( maybe that is not what it is called) and you see your open apps. Some of them do not show a preview of the app. I would like to be able to force this to happen on specific apps.
Are you talking about recently used apps/multitasking (what you get when you tap the home button twice)? If so, you don't really control anything there--it just usually shows the last screen of the app that you were on before you exited it or switched away from it. Sometimes not even that. The only thing you might really be able to do is make sure you are on some particular screen you want to be on before you exit/switch away from the app, or perhaps just close the app (by swiping it up away from recent apps/multitasking view) to get rid of it.
Type what you are searching for in the unified address/search bar and towards the bottom of the list of suggestions and everything that appears will be search results for that on the page.
I have a few:
1a. I have taken some awesome slowmo videos on my 5s. When I texted the vid and tried to upload to Instagram it played it at full speed. How do I get it to show the slowmo?
1b. If slowmo is going to be used a lot by me wouldn't it make sense to ALWAYS record video in that setting? Doesn't appear that you can record in standard setting and then get the same effect.
2. I've finished my restore but quite a few album covers under music-->songs aren't showing they all show correctly under albums. Why?
3. Can I not use fingerprint-only for entry to my device?
4. Has anyone been using Camera+ for their main camera app? Seems like the new stock 5s camera app is almost (or is) on par with it. Anyone agree/disagree?
5. For those that do a fresh install to ensure best possible battery life, just jotting down which apps you use, email account settings, etc? Obviously have to go back in and get your settings in place. What about pics?
6. My daughters iPod running ios7 had iTunes Radio showing in bottom right of Music. She rebooted device and it's gone. Where did it go?
Think I've used up my time here. Thanks in advance.

HAHA this thread is awesome. And everyone is going along with it I guess I will start using this thread.
I guess I will start using this thread.After the phone has not been used for some minutes, the screen does not go black! Still shows the home screen on full brightness, it used to go black after a few seconds and save battery, anyone have this problem?
Thanks.
Thanks.
