But don't know this a bug or what on IOS 5, please test your left speaker have sound or not when your iPhone playing music, because I testing iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, the left speaker was mute. (test it: closed your right speaker with your thumb)

Isn't that the mic? One is a speaker, the other is a mic....that's what I always thought at least

true on the 3Gs it's the other way around

That's what I thought. I don't think that's a glitch, buddy!

The speaker and mic switched sides from the 3GS to the 4. Confused me at first when I upgraded.

[Zokunei]

But that switch still needs to communicate with software and calibrate the software to react when that switch is opened or closed.

If the software only can receive that the switch is open or closed then it still can't calibrate sensitivity.

Great List Anthony. I can't speak for everyone but most iphone features lists I've come across show features I already know about or show completely unless features. I actually learned a few useful features from this. Thanks!

The banner dismiss is actually just notification center being pulled down a bit because the banner works like the tab that appears if there's no status bar.

I came to say the exact same thing

[Alluziion]

Great article! A lot of useful information here that I wasn't aware of. I will be having some fun with the Speech Selection later xP

I think you can use activator. Under tap status bar or whatever just select do nothing and then select your new task

I wish it worked but it doesn't.

[regkilla]

I knew about all 10 already. No noob here.

[Jacobh4]

Dang...9 outta 10. I didn't know about #2

I don't think many people knew about number 2. But I did learn something new today!

[2Jaze]

I was hoping it gave me some new info ):

[iPod]

I wish it worked but it doesn't.

What happens when you try it?

[teej1410]

What happens when you try it?

Even with the do nothing thing selected in activator for the tap the status bar, the tap status bar still goes to the top of the page.

Oh ok, I guess you just cant disable that..
