iOS 5 Findings, Issues, & Fixes

I updated fine, I think. But my lockscreen widgets and photo button do not appear. Is there anything I need to do to get that working?

Mine is working now. After restarting my computer/phone multiple times with no changes, I think it's just a waiting game. I was simply sitting watching tv for a couple minutes and tried again, and the "Internal Error" message didn't show up. Find something productive to do to keep your mind off of it, then try every 15 minutes or so.

I knooooooooow, "After months of waiting Apple is making us wait even longer!!"

Running GM, still no Newsstand, can't add contacts from the contacts app, lost Genius in Music app, and System updates is still throwing out errors. Any one with the PR version have these problems?

EDIT:EDIT: I restored my phone to the PR version, Newsstand is fully functional, "+" contacts seems to be back, Genius back on, and System updates is say I am up to date. IM HAPPY

You just need to double click the home button before you unlock the screen

Double clicking only shows the camera icon. Not the widgets.

Hopefully you backed yup your phone on iTunes. If so just go to the apps tab and make sure you click on the box next to SYNC then just choose the ones you want to sync back and boom.

Yeah looks like you are going to have to do it manually. Be sure you sync your phone to iTunes so you don't have to do it in the future again. lol.

I noticed that you can see when your person you are texting when they are replying as it shows the .... when they are replying to a message.

All updated, everything looks good. The only thing that I find a little peculiar (which may be me doing something wrong) is the calender app. When going to create a new event, the clock wheel starts at 23.00 rather than at 09.00 like it used to. I also had a few issues with the time zones of my events. I am over in the UK and my events on my phone from before the update were showing at different times (I think they were in the California time zone).

My time zone is set to GMT so I'm not sure why this would be. Anyway, I manually changed all the times and all looks okay now, but I'm still a bit confused as to why the automatic time setting for the clock in calender is 11pm rather than the morning. Not that big a deal really, but I just wondered if I had done something wrong with regards to the time settings.
