Crashing Phone
If I try to unlock from a full notification screen the phone crashes and reboots. If I clear the notifications before unlocking then the phone unlocks fine.
I have played around with the settings including hiding the swipe to unlock but it doesn't seem to make a difference. This has only started happening since the update today.

is there a way to get my lock screen to respect the order of notifications and widgets that I set in the NC settings? I have the calendar widget above message notifications, but when I get a text the notification shows up above the calendar on my lock screen.

LI doesn't seem to play nicely with 2 extensions I have installed, not too much of a big deal as that can possibly be something that can be fixed with a patch, hopefully:
1) "Sleep to Lock" --the first press of the power button takes you to the lock screen as expected but shows no LI information and then you need to press lock again then and wake it for the info to show up.
2) "Unfold" --if the slider is slid but not fully to unlock, the LI info disappears and you need to sleep then wake (or unlock then sleep) for the info to reshow.
But I have noticed what could be a pretty serious bug when uninstalling, it seems to mess up (that I've noticed so far), my exchange calendar/mail!
Not sure if it was because I went from the 5.0.13 trial which was very glitchy through the betas to the current 5.1.0-2 but mail no longer syncs via the mail app, it just constantly says "checking for mail.." while the calendar app's sync is fine. The NC shows only 2 calendar entries (the calendar app confirms I have more than this in the next day) and no mails show up at all in the NC.
Reinstalling LI makes it work as expected but it doesn't leave me the option incase I don't want to use LI when my trial runs out.
I have tried with no success:
1) Deleting then re-adding the exchange account
2) A simple restore from most current backup
3) Restore firmware, re-JB and restore from current backup
I don't think I have an older backup from before installing LI but it seems like as LI, by intergrating with the NC, has overwritten some settings somewhere as uninstalling has not reverted these files back (pure speculation of course) so going to have to set this up as a brand new phone as I don't know what has gone wrong.
Edit: odd, set up as a new phone from scratch so no backup from anywhere and it's only showing 5 emails in the NC when I've set for 10. Going to try to see if I can reproduce the initial error..

Yes. What I did to workaround this was just remove the items from showing up in Notification Center. So for USA Today as an example I turned Notification Center to Off and as long as View in Lock Screen in ON I will see it in Lock Info which is where I want it, I rarely use Notification Center.
I think he might think its an issue that the developer of sleep to lock might have to adjust on their end. This has been happening to me since iPhone 4. I tweeted him this issue a while back, what I was told was that with lockinfo 5 this would be a moot point. I always used sleep to lock with intelliscreen so I could sell till skim some details on emails on the lock screen after I locked the phone, then it would turn the screen off like normal.
I did get confirmation from David that this is definitely a bug, and he is aware of it, but he didn't provide an ETA. I wonder if the "Pull Down To Refresh" is a stop gap, as it when I seem to do that, it seems to refresh the list?
Actually, I take that back. I'm on 5.1.1-72, and it seems to work fine for me now. I'm on the consolidated view, and I just got an Alert for an event 2 hours away. When I clicked on the X in the Calendar Title Bar, it cleared the alert, and moved the event down two items in the list, but still kept it in the list.

Yeah, that's different. In consolidated, I don't think you get a separate calendar alert outside the Calendar section, do you? Clicking the X in the Calendar title bar does the same thing, in Notifications + Widgets, as you described but you're left with the calendar notification which, when cleared, still deletes the calendar item in the Calendar section.
As long as he's working on it, that's cool.
I'm now getting an unlock freeze again after certain use of BiteSMS in the lockscreen. A recent beta release of BiteSMS had fixed this issue but this time I can't duplicate it unless LockInfo is installed.
Mine has been on and off, by trouble, do you mean there is no info at all for current location and hitting the manual refresh button doesn't work, even if going into the weather app? (I have installed "UK weather" if that makes any difference)
I'm hoping it was because I was underground at the time so no mobile data/wifi to get the location but does that mean it keeps trying instead of aborting the hourly check? I did notice the "weather" app had a purple arrow so it was trying to get location which might have been the cause of my battery drain. Switching it off/on again did nothing.
Whilst we're on that, I'm hoping someone can figure out a way to make it something like 3 hours instead of an hour being the max time you're able to specify for it to check the weather.
Every now and then I'll notice the weather widget on my lockscreen, NC, and on homescreen (via dashboard x) with no data showing and "retrieving", it still has trouble getting data when going into the actual weather app.. A respring will usually get the weather back in the lock screen and NC, and then eventually to all of them..
never had this issue before until I recently updated bitesms, lockinfo5, and zephyr.. I'm assuming the lockinfo update did something
Does anyone know how to get Appigo ToDo to show up current tasks in lockinfo ?
In LI4, all the current tasks I had listed would show up, but I can't get them to show on LI5. I don't want to have to set them as notifications. Not even sure if that will work.

Anyone noticed a problem with the calendar? I have calendar events showing on the lockscreen/notification center, all good, no problems.
I then update a couple of them - change the name, add a location, whatever. It doesn't update on the lockscreen or notification center - the only way to get lockinfo to update the calendar list is to respring. Quite an annoying bug.
I should clarify that adding new events and deleting events works fine, it's just if the details of an event change, it isn't updating.
Other than that, this app is getting better and better with each micro update!
One other feature i'd like to see. I've noticed in the recently released version you can change the font size to xx-small, thus the sizes of the header bars have decreased, and the size of the notification bars have decreased slightly. It looks great now, but it would be grand if it were possible to have an option to make the notification bars slightly smaller - every little bit helps in squeezing more and more information on the lock screen, especially those of us with multiple calendar events and etc!
Thanks again to David for listening to the community about what they want in this app!

LockInfo 5 just released in Cydia!!!!!
In the newest betas he added pull to refresh which should poll for changes in calendar events. On the lockscreen, after you've changed an event, pull the section under the clock down and it should force a refresh.
Edit: scratch that. Seems to only work of you add information to an event not remove information. Strange.

That's nice, but it only affects the notification bar. I'd like to be able to control the transparency of everything, including the widgets.
For me it's both, a pull to refresh does nothing to update the list. Already tried. I did email him a bug report and he's gonna look into it.
