First thing to note, this is NOT a thread for impressions, thoughts or even rants and nags about iOS 5. You can do that elsewhere.
I'm opening this new thread to simply make a unified list of all the bugs found in the OS. You can also post new ideas to make it even better. I'll try to keep this post updated with the new ideas/bugs that you all come up with. But let's try to keep Siri out of this, since it's still in Beta. And please, be as simple and as brief as possible.
Since I'm not a registered developer, I won't be able to submit this feedback to Apple. So, if anyone would like to help out and submit them, it'll be good for all of us. [corrected by EvanLugh, I actually CAN submit feedback without being a developer]
p.s. my ideas/bugs that I've thought of or encountered are not followed by nicknames. The rest is simply the responses I get in this thread. But it does not mean that those bugs are affecting everyone, or that I agree/disagree with the new ideas. I'm just summarizing them all in one place.
Bugs:
- Preview icon of the last photo taken (bottom left in the Camera), does not get updated if the photo was deleted.
- When playing music while the phone is locked, album arts rarely show. and once they do, and you skip a song, the music pauses for a second or two (the play/pause icon actually changes) and the album art disappears and reappears again.
- Fix WiFi Sync. [TheSuperSteve]
- Enhance performance for 4th gen. iPod touch [The SuperSteve]
Ideas:
- Ability to lock folders with passwords. (and apps within those folders wouldn't show up in the multitasking bar)
- Ability to merge folders (if their sum of Apps is lower than 12)
- Tiny small icon in the status bar to let us know we have notifications (maybe a number or just a small flashing star)
- Improve iMessage group chats. (this has a LOT to be worked on)
- Once we clear all missed calls from Notification Center (NC), the red badges on the phone should automatically disappear. (or any other app)
- Ability to clear all notifications with one tap. (or maybe tap and hold just one of the "x" and it'll clear them all).
- Ability to close all apps in the multitasking bar. (same idea, just tap and hold one of the "-" and it'll clear them all).
- Bring back the arrows to browse through photos.
- Now you can tap and hold on a song/album, and you'll get a popup with basically the same info you're seeing. It should have different info (year, genre, rating, etc)
- Swipe up from the bottom of the phone to reveal the multitasking bar. [r2shyyou]
- Settings widget in NC. [Thetonyk123]
- 3rd party widgets in NC. [Onewa80]
- Ability to place more apps inside folders. [The SuperSteve]
- Include Apple apps in the iPad (Clock, Calculator, Weather, Voice Memos, Stocks and Compass). [The SuperSteve]
- Ability to turn off tabbed browsing on the iPad. [The SuperSteve]
- Ability to start and stop movies in the photos app by just tapping the screen. [BFG86]
