I just got iOS 5 today and every time I get multiple text messages from the same person, each individual text is a different notification unlike in the previous os where it would just say the number of texts they sent. For example: (John text message (5)). Is there anyway to make it do that so that I just get a summarized view of who texted me, and not every individual text?

thanks!

I think it does that on its own if they were received one after another. If you wait a little while, and someone else texts/calls, I think it will display a number next to the first one.

If you go into the settings/notifications/messages menu you can change the amount of recents that show, the default is 5 for everything. If you drop it down to 1, it should be what you are looking for.

I have a Couple all day events on my calendar, and they don't show on lock screen even though it is set to show on lock screen. I'm assuming that that it only shows up if there is a time to remind you of it. But I could be wrong.
