Details:
iPhone 4S (MD239B)
O2-UK (O2 12.0)
5.1.1 (9B206)
Modem FW 2.0.12

Problems:
  1. Occasionally phone shows no signal bars in strong signal area, phone works and shows "3G"
  2. Phone will drop off the network but still report signal strength, you dont notice until you try to make a call or realise you havent had an email for a few hours! Quick restart followed by a flood of voicemails/emails/texts!
  3. Push email on iCloud - works occassionally. Very hit and miss, my other exchange accounts are flawless.
  4. Waking from sleep - sometimes doesnt react to first button press, press again and it acts as if ive pressed twice (so obviously registered the first press)
  5. Text alert - the sound will stutter occasionally
  6. iMessage - messages report as failed have infact been sent, some get lost forever, some show in different orders on different devices, some get sent as iMessage and text, some messages will not send AT ALL until the phone is restarted

Could somebody with a dev account register some of these bugs for me?
Or is there a way for a mere iPhone user (since '07) can submit bug reports to Apple?

Thanks guys.

I was happy with 4s till 5.1.1

I have 1,2,4,5,6....

Needs to be sorted asap - also noticed back of phone getting VERY hot when problem occurred, so probably a tight program loop.....

Another weird 'issue' is that when my phone is vibrating when ringing, the 'tone' of the vibration changes ... and I've no custom vibrations set. It's not all the time either.

I've had Problem #4 happen numerous times before I downgraded to 5.0.1. Even after, it happens occasionally. What fixes that issue for me temporarily is a home button calibration. To do that, you open a stock app. hold the power button until the slide to power off appears. Then press home button until the slide to power off disappears. I thought it was because of the Jailbreak. Problem #6 happened only to my friends, but not me....

I've got 1, 2, 5 and 6. I thought it was AT&T, but I'm leaning more towards 5.1.1 now.

I have noticed most all of these bugs.
Number 4 has really been annoying me lately.

You can still report bugs via apples regular page, you don't have to be a developer. You only have to be a dev to report bugs for beta OSs.

I've noticed every single one, but that was even on 5.1 before the update.

5.1.1 i've noticed those problems more often with iMessage though

I've noticed none of them, except iMessage issues, by the bucketload. I find iMessage to be completely unreliable now — so much so that I'm intending to switch to WhatsApp, which is also already installed on my iDevices… iMessage will work only if my partners have responded to a message that I sent but that was effectively sent as Text Message. So I'm Paying text costs, even though I used iMessage. Tried all of the solutions listed anywhere on the web to fix the issues, but none of them work for 4S/iOS5.1.1. Never had problems on 5.1 or 5.0.1 or even earlier. Neither have had any problems on 3GS, which still runs 5.0. I find 5.1.1 to be very unstable as a whole and hope that Apple will release an update very soon indeed. Any devices I own that have not been unhappily surprised by an update to 5.1.1 will most definitely skip this release… :(

What i'm really hoping is that they just do a complete overhaul with iOS 6 as a kind of "whoops we messed up iMessage"

Also i just remembered another thing that is annoying. I like the fact that you can see when a person is "typing" a message. However sometimes that little bubble with 3 dots shows up and the other person isn't typing anything. The only way i've been able to get it to go away is to double click the home button and "close" the message app.

Pinch zoom in Safari and Photos is still less sensitive than in 5.0.1.

Started in 5.1...

I've noticed something similar. I turn my data off and on to conserve data usage and when I turn my data back on I sometimes have trouble connecting to the internet. Sometimes I connect while other times I don't. This only started happening with the 5.1.1 update. This did used to happen a long time ago in an older iOS version but they had fixed the problem since then. It seems the problem has either come back or a different bug is causing similar problems. My interent connection was working fine until the 5.1.1 update.
